Flash :: Green ActionScripter Can't Use LoadVariables

In Need Of An Actionscripter
Hilo,

I've been actionscripting my game for quite a while, failing and succeeding. Mainly my failures have been in the baddies department, which I've asked for help on a few times already in different forums.

Well quite frankly, I've grown tired of it. This trying of actionscript is holding up my game. At this rate it won't be done for a year or two. I'm in need of an experienced actionscripter who's willing to go crazy and help me with this.

I'm mainly asking for whomever to actionscript the baddies, when they're hurt, when they hurt the character, functions and everything. I've already got the sprites ready for coding.

I think this game will be fairly well noticed. The graphics are great, the idea of it's fine, awesome music, it has a storyline and I plan to have cutscenes aplenty. If someone were to actionscript it, I'm sure they would be recognized well.

Maybe some screenies will help -

^this was when I had one sludge on there and it worked^

Uh... I think that's all. Sorry for the long post and unneeded explanation, I just felt I should get it all in there.

Also, these threads that ask for an actionscripter seem to go unnoticed, or at least noone posts or offers. Is there something wrong asking for an actionscripting partner?

Thanks. Sorry for anything I did wrong.

P.S. I've planned and worked on Mega for a long time; I'm very serious about finishing it and for all the time that I've worked on it, not a thought about stopping production on it has ran through my mind.

Newbie Actionscripter Needs Help.
Newbie Actionscripter needs help.

Hi all.
Just starting out so please forgive any incredibly stupid questions that I may have, as my mind is kind of melted at this point.

I am currently in a "WEB DESIGN" school of which I paid $8,000 for.

We have moved from basic javascript to flash and actionscript.
I previously had no experience or knowledge of either of these languages.

Our instructor has set us out on a basic exercise of controlling a movie clip instance movement across the screen.

4 buttons to move the object along the y and x.

Here is the script as our instructor created it.
Button script for left movement:

on (press, keyPress "<Left>") {
moveThing(-5, "x");
}

Script for movie clip instance. Script placed in frame as frame action:

function moveThing(moveValue, direction) {

posY = getProperty(movie, _y);
posX = getProperty(movie, _x);
if (direction eq "x") {
posX = posX+moveValue;
if (posX<0) {
posX = 550;
}
if (posX>550) {
posX = 0;
}
setProperty("movie", _x, posX);
} else if (direction eq "y") {
posY = posY+moveValue;
if (posy<0) {
posY = 400;
}
if (posy>400) {
posY = 0;
}
setProperty("movie", _y, posY);
}
}

So, what's the problem? u ask.

Well, first of all I wanted the button to continuously
move the movie clip instance as long as the user held down his mouse button.

In the example above the movie clip instance will only move once per click.

When I asked my instructor how to achieve this, he told me "it cant be done,
You have to use the keyboard to keep it moving."

This seemed strange, having a basic knowledge of javascript,.

I said to him "cant the movement just loop?"

He said "how will you stop the loop."

I said "With an "onRelease".

He said "you can't have 2 mouse events calling the same function for the same button"

I said "O.K."

Since I had seen the achievement of using a button to control an object and continue to control it until you release the mouse many times before. I went home and started searching the net.

Being a newbie it was hard to find a script in which I could isolate these actions, but I did find a large script and was able to pull out the actions that I wanted and apply them to a flash movie.

Here is the new script:

Script applied to button(s):

on (press,) {
movie.up = true;
}
on (release, releaseOutside) {
movie.up = false;
}

Script applied to movie clip instance:

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
moveValue = 20;
// if mode is true, the movie always travels in a straight line
if (left) {
_x -= moveValue;
}
if (right) {
_x += moveValue;
}
if (up) {
_y -= moveValue;
}
if (down) {
_y += moveValue;
}
// loop to opposite side
if (_y<0) {
_y = 400;
}
if (_y>400) {
_y = 0;
}
if (_x<0) {
_x = 555;
}
if (_x>555) {
_x = 0;
}
}

so…… Here are my questions;

Is my teacher mental???

Obviously you can apply to mouse events to a button???

Why use the getProperty and setProperty instead of just _y or _x

What exactly is it that causes this object to continue to move in this script apposed to the first script.
Is it the " _x += moveValue;"

Is my understanding correct in saying….

"_x" finds the current position of the movie clip instance.

"_x+=moveValue"
Takes the position of the movie clip instance makes it equil to itself and then
Adds the value of "moveValue" is this the loop?

Anyway obviously I'm confused.
I find it hard to move on to other things when I'm confused about the first things.

Any help or anything to further explain these things would be greatly appreciated.

Looking For An Advanced Actionscripter
Hello All,

I am looking for someone out there who is willing to completely actionscript all of a game for me. I will be creating all the graphics, animation, music, sounds & ideas for the game. I need someone to basicly make it into a game. I of coarse would be paying you for your work. We can discuss the pay once I find someone who wants to work on the game.

The game is a 2D sidescrolling adventure game which would require you to know the following...

- Making the character jump, walk, run, and jump up and then pound the ground with thier bodies.

- Creating a score method for the character. Points are rewarded by collecting coins throughout levels. The character would get 3 lives and would lose a life each time they are touched by an enemy. But they can gain a life by collecting 100 coins.

- Detailed Sidescrolling. I plan to make the scrolling of the game so that further away objects scroll slower than objects closer to you. Maybe about 3 to 4 layers of scrolling.

Those are the basics. There will be some other things I would need, for example maybe some bouncey mushrooms in the game that when the player jumps onto them, they bounce really high. PLEEEAAASE reply to me here if your interested in being paid to take all my ideas and graphics and add actionscripting to all of them for money. I won't be cheap either, i'm willing to pay hansomely.

Thanks!
-Josh

I'm Not An Actionscripter But Play One On TV HELP
Okay here's the deal. I have this application that I am designing that requires objects to be duplicated on the screen by the press of a button and placed on the screen. Each MC Instance can then be selected, rotated and/or deleted. Please check this out to see the program in action and you will be able to see the problem:

http://www.jefcon.com/df/tilesfinal.html

I grabbed the code from Flashkit to make it work but don't totally understand it. Sorry but here's a long explaination of what i've got so far and then I can explain the problem.

First I make each object a Movie Clip and on the object I have this code:

// get moviename and run getname function
// when you click on the button
on (press) {
_root.moviename = getProperty(this, _name);
_root.getname(_root.moviename);
}

// stop the dragging of the movieClip on release
on (release) {
stopDrag ();
}

Then I make a button for each movie clip that has this code:

// run the dup function when you click this button
on (press, keyPress "2") {
mm015caverncurvecounter = _root.dupmovie("MM015-Cavern-Curve Wall",mm015caverncurvecounter,_root.mm015caverncur veinit);
}

Then in the frame of the button I add an action to give variables

// these are just variables are need initiated before using
nextmovie = 0;
mm015caverntcurveinit = 100900;
mm015caverntcurvecounter = 100900;

When all these elements are together it works great and MCInstances are placed on the stage and are able to be rotated, etc..

HERE'S THE PROBLEM (Thanks for hanging in there)
------------------

I created a separate movie clip to house all the buttons for my objects. And there are so many objects that I created several categories and have buttons hop up and down the MCtimeline to access each different category. And it works just great except when you ever go back to the same category.

For instance when I click on the 'Room and Passage' category and the buttons come up I can place the pieces and the MCInstances are created with values that I setup above. But when I goto another category and then come back to the 'Room and Passage' category the MCInstance starts over and takes away Instances I already have placed.

So my question is, is there a way to 'remember' what's already on the stage and then have any new duplicate Instances start at a value above what's already on the stage.

This is a lot and I thank anyone that can help me figure it out. I can post the 2Mb source FLA if you want.

Thanks

Looking For Good Actionscripter
Hi

Ive got a fla source file developed by a freelance developer.
He has however since left the country and i can no longer get a hold of him, therefore im looking for someone with the right skills to make a few modifications/changes for me.

The application is an interactive mapping application, written in actionscript.
It basically loads in an external swf, loads in some xml files with the roads and co-ordinates of the roads. When one clicks on the road it moves the map to that area and inserts a little label and pointer.
It is solely actionscript work and the actionscript is quite advanced!

Im pretty sufficient at flash but this is heavy duty actionscripting.
Can any one lend a hand?

I have a very small budget left for the project, however if someone has the right know-how of action script then it should not take too long!

Tnx

Actionscripter Needed
I am hoping to find someone that can help me make a menu and possibly a few other things. This is something I need to learn, but don't have the time for my current project. If someone would be interested in showing me how to do the menu and explaining some of the scripting, that would be great. My knowledge of flash is probably about advanced-beginner.

Please let me know how much you would charge for this and what your hourly rate would be, in the event that more help is needed.

Here are some links to menu's I'd like to learn to make.

Thanks. (Same post as on Yayhooray)

ActionScript Code:
on (rollOut) {
setProperty("_root.b1", _y, $unoy);
setProperty("_root.b1", _yscale, 100);
setProperty("_root.a", _y, $unoy);

setProperty("_root.b8", _yscale, 100);
setProperty("_root.h", _y, $8y);
setProperty("_root.h", _yscale, 100);
}

and please i want to know how could i call. it from the button. ON ROLL OUT..?.. event.. of course i dont need to use any imput variable or anything i just want to execute it anytime that i call it.. [i dont know how to call it.. if you realize it.. :]

Not A Big Actionscripter.. I Know There Are Problems
so.. i had the top part. the resizer working nice.. but when i tried to turn that mc that resized into a moviecliploader it all went awry.. i think my coding of the loader name or something is wrong i bet it'd be easy for anyone knowledgeable to figure out..and i know how awesome everyone on this board is already.. thanks..

Code:

Stage.align = "LT";
Stage.showMenu = false;
Stage.scaleMode = "noscale";
var stageListener:Object = new Object();
stageListener.onResize = formatStage;
Stage.addListener(stageListener);
stageListener.onResize();

function formatStage() {
trace("onResize()");
resize_txt.text = Stage.width + " x " + Stage.height;
myMCL._width = Stage.width;
myMCL._height = Stage.width/1.333;
myMCL._xscale = myMCL._yscale;

}

bar._visible = false;
border._visible = false;
myMCL = new MovieClipLoader();

preload = new Object();
myMCL.addListener(preload);

preload.onLoadStart = function(targetMC) {
trace("started loading "+targetMC);
myMCL._visible = false;
bar._visible = true;
border._visible = true;
pText._visible = true;
};

preload.onLoadProgress = function(targetMC, lBytes, tBytes) {
bar._width = (lBytes/tBytes)*100;
pText.text = "% "+Math.round((lBytes/tBytes)*100);
};
preload.onLoadComplete = function(targetMC) {
myMCL._visible = true;
border._visible = false;
bar._visible = false;
pText._visible = false;
trace(targetMC+" finished");
};

//default image
myMCL.loadClip("test1.swf","myMCL");
//buttons
button1.onPress = function() {
myMCL.loadClip("roofmovie.jpg","myMCL");
};

Knowledgable Actionscripter For A Moving Map
Hi! Im very very new to actionscripting but Im using Flash 5 and Im trying to build a game that has a stationary spaceship.As you go to move forward or in reverse the map will scroll past you. So if you go from the middle of a huge map to the right side, you will travel to the right but you stay stationary but the map will go past you, same to work in every direction. Just you stay in 1 spot and the map or background just goes past you. This is the same as in a online game called Silent Death if anyone has ever played that. I got movement scripting down and can move around on teh screen, but cannot get the background or map to move instead of me.

Newbie Actionscripter - Moving MC
Im trying to move 2 MC's with actionscript.

First MC name=test (move from y=28 to y=128)
onClipEvent (load) {
_root.x = 361.5;//change this to where it goes to.
_root.y = 128;//change this to where it goes to.
speed = 10;//change the speed.
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
x = (_root.x-this._x)/speed;
y = (_root.y-this._y)/speed;
this._x += x;
this._y += y;
}

Next MC name=test2 (move from y=327 to y=227) - moving at the same time as first MC

onClipEvent (load) {
_root.x = 361.5;//change this to where it goes to.
_root.y = 227;//change this to where it goes to.
speed = 10;//change the speed.
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
x = (_root.x-this._x)/speed;
y = (_root.y-this._y)/speed;
this._x += x;
this._y += y;
}

This doesnt work - well the first MC is fine but the second one moves way to high

Horrible Actionscripter Needs Help With A Script
Hi guys, i need help with a script that i was given for a class i took before the summer. The script allows a arrow graphic to follow the buttons that you put your cursor on. Say if i move my cursor to the 2nd button it will move a little arrow to that button. The arrow starts on the side of the 1st button.(top button)

My big problem is that im trying to make a site with this script in it, the script was orignally made with the buttons being horizontal, i now need them to be vertical. I have played with the file a lot lately and cant seem to get it to move vertical. Im not the best actionscripter so im sure if someone who knows actionscripting really well probably could figure it out really quick. If someone could help me out and download the file, and show me what i need to do, maybe you can even upload the version of the file that you work on. It would help me out very much, i would appreciate the help.

Thanks
Frank

Born Again Actionscripter - Where To Begin?
Hi, this is my first post here so I'll start by saying hello. Hello!

I used to be an enthusiastic actionscripter back in the days of Flash 4/5/MX but I've been out of the loop for a few years now and the flash landscape has changed considerably!

I'm looking into reviving my actionscripting skills, initially just to write a couple of online games and small web apps, but possibly as a longer-term career move.

But I'm not quite sure where to begin! The last thing I made in flash was a small shoot-em-up-game and it was the first and only project for which I used AS2 (I'm fairly comfortable with OO programming so AS2 seemed an improvement over AS1). So I guess I could just pick up where I left off and continue learning AS2.

But hang on, AS3 is already here! So should I be diving in with AS3 right from the start? Or is it worth covering the old ground of AS2 before I move on?

And it seems there are now choices to be made with development environment too?! Do I need to be learning about flex? From what I can work out, flex won't be much help for game development, but if I've got a data driven app to build would it be worth getting to grips with flex? I guess flex would be good to know from a career perspective?

If anyone has any advice or can share any experiences on these topics I'd be very grateful!

Thanks

(hope it was ok to post this in the AS2 forum, it seemed like the most appropriate place)

F5, Boundaries Etc. - Good Actionscripter Needed
Hi!

I'm making a really strategic game and the coding is fairly simple...I just wanted to know how to make boundaries to stop someone from walking over a certain part. I know that simply it's something like this:

if (this.hittest(_root.wall._x, _root.wall._y, true)) {
} else {
<move the char>
end if

i know thats not right, but its an example. Problem with that is it walks on top of hte boundaries and then stops. I need it to hit the boundaries and stop there.

hope im not asking too much, and thanks in advance,

Wits End : Publishing Sizes: Wise Actionscripter Help Needed PLZ
I am hoping to make a button on a launching page that resizes the window and flash movie for a smaller resolutions setting.
i.e: one for 800x600 -
1024x768 -
1280x1024 - for this just window size
I designed it at 1024X768 as it is a portfolio of photos (hopefully that was the way to go.
If not please just hit me with a bat.

Is there a best way to do this as image quality is impotant?

so far I have this, but it makes a window a bit smaller than the movie and crops the right and bottom. therefore the scrollbars reappear.

Code:
on (release) {
getURL ("javascript:NewWindow=window.open('mysite.html','newWin','width=1024,height=768,left=0,top=0,toolbar=No,location=No,scrollbars=No,status=No,resizable=No,fullscreen=No');NewWindow.focus();void(0);");
}
I am using MX

LoadVariables: Can Two LoadVariables In The Same Script Cause A Problem?
Hi,

It seems that for some reason, my attempt to send vaiables is not working. I'm not certain if its my syntax or the fact that I have a second loadVariables later in my script(with a different name of course). help?

heres a sample of the script that I'm using:

ClickedSendVar = new loadVariables();
ClickedSend = "bob="+bob+"&fred="+fred+"&jim"+jim;
ClickedSend.send(_root.on_card, ClickedSend, "POST");

So Green That I'm Covered In Dew
Hi folks, I've just installed this fantastic program Flash5. I have a lot of expierience with AutoCad 2000 and other graphics programs like Corel Draw but I am at the very beginning with Flash 5. What in your opinion would be a good book to purchase? I think I'm a little beyond the "Dummies" style books. I've taken the tutorials and I am working on my own personal website, the reason for my interest is I have family all over Canada and would like to share our photos and family news with them through the web. I want my site to be beyond the ordinary and I can see Flash is the way to go. Thanks for your help!

Green Component Box
I've designed a form with the mx component text input boxes and I set focus at the first item when the frame loads. The goofy green box is put around the first item, and when i leave the frame, either forward or backward in the timeline the green box (by itself) stays! I can't figure out why! thanks!

[F8] I'm As Green As The Grass At This
Hi, my name is Kim and will probably be a constant visitor here. I am trying to build a website, on it I want to have a beautiful front page with a creeper with flowers appearing (I am probably using the wrong lingo!) then the title appearing letter by letter. Then a main photo which will disappear and others appearing in its place,..then smaller photos underneath, entitled gallery 1, 2 3 etc. Now you have the picture in your head hopefully!!!!! My question is this, do you think a person who has not had much experience could do this? and would it be easier to make in Flash, frontpage, dreamweaver or Swish. I have access to all programs, and don't know which one to put most of my effort into?
Can I use all of these and combine?......take care for now.....Kim

Green Dots
No actionscript - just a trippy experiment.
I'm sure many of u have seen this before, but it spun me out.
Wife is studyiung teaching at Uni, and came across this "eye trick thing"
..So I made it in flash, just to see if it really worked.
Ok, focus on the black cross hair. If it worked, u will see the effect, if not, u must be one of those guys that can never see the stereoscopic images!
View swf - bigger browse area = better chance
View fla - notice the total absence of anything green in the source file?... whack!!!

Scrollpane Green Highlight?
Hi there

Using MX 2004, I added a scrollpane to the stage of a swf into which I load a movie clip.
When playing this movie, everything works fine.
When loading this movie into another level from a movie on level 0, a green highlight appears around the scrollpane whenever the scrollbars are activated.

Anyone know how to get rid of this green highlight?

I have tried any number of movies containing the scrollpane, and the green highlight always appears when the swf is loaded by another movie.
Border colour, visibility makes no difference.

Thanks a lot
G

[CS3] Green Screen Effect
I have a client who is interested in doing a "Green Screen" effect with the following information... I know it can be done, I am not sure how...

Properties:
Source Path - (optional) fully qualified path to the folder containing the source file with the green screen background Source File - file name of the original file with the green screen background (foreground image) Destination File - New File name of the image with the "new" background Background File - File name of background image

Methods:
Get File - retrieve file
Replace Background - Remove the green screen background and replace with the "Background File"
Reposition Foreground - ability to drag the foreground image (original image less the green screen) on top of the new background to compose the image Resize foreground - provide navigation handles to resize the foreground image on top on the new background Save File - Save the newly compose image with the new background to a file

Presentation:
- Provide a vertical thumbnail list of background images on the right, if necessary, a vertical scrollbar to view additional images.
- Show the source file in a picture box in the center screen.
- Either by double clicking on a background image OR drag the background on to the top of the source file (center image) immediately redisplay the center image with the new background.

All Source Files - A dynamic array or a concatenated string containing all the available SOURCE files to be displayed as hyperlinks (this will be fully qualified with the necessary path).

All Background Files - A dynamic array or a concatenated string containing all the available BACKGROUND files to be displayed as thumbnails (this will be fully qualified with the necessary path).
