Ground Trouble
I posted this in flash MX a few hours ago, but I didnt get any replies, so I'm posting it here... I use flash MX 2004. Attached is a .fla with a character, coded to move right and left, and jump. But whenever he jumps, he falls through the ground. The ground is an MC with the instance name of ground. Can anyone help? Thanx.

Ground, Modifying The Ground Midgame
In a game I'm making there is ground that I've drawn out. It isn't flat. I make things fall to it by hitTesting them. How would you make it so that a grenade or something would take out a chunk of the ground so that things fall all the way when they fall?
Ground
Ok, I have a movie clip called ground_mc, and that has all the ground in it. I have another mc called player_mc, and using the arrow keys, you can move the player left, right, jump, duck, etc. How can I get the player to detect if there is a block in it's way so it can't go forward. Also how can I get it to detect if its not on the ground yet (because hitTest won't work because there could be a FLOATING block). Please help!!!

I posted my question in the newbie section but no one knows, so can someone from here help? The post is located here. Thanks!
Ground...
hello all... does any one have an idea on how to rotate something to follow the ground its on...

What Fps Is Best Middle Ground?
What FPS should I consider using standard in my movies... I am thinking that the higher the fps the smoother things will look and all... but does that significantly affect the size of the movie when I bump it up?
Some thoughts on this would be appreciated!
TIA

MC Hitting The 'ground'
i have a php page where i am loading various swfs.
i want 2 MCs which will be placed in 1 swf (or 2, depending) to 'fall' from the top of the screen and land with a thud and a little random bounce.
the objects need to appear very heavy. I can do this manually, like with frames, but before I do, I am interested in finding out about doing this in AS in a way where each time the object falls the way it hits the horizon line is randomized. I mean the way it bounces slightly.
This will be accompanied by a sound-- imagine a steel plate falling and hitting the pavement (in a 2D world) and then bouncing slightly.
Any suggestions?
How Can I Create This From The Ground?
i downloaded this photo gallery from:
http://laco.wz.cz/tween/?page=examples
i like the way it functions but i can't load it to my stage externaly and i can't seem to import it from one stage to another. i'd like to create a custom version of this file from scratch but i'm seeing things in this file that i've yet to be exposed to.
if someone can tell me what i'm dealing with here. i'd really appreciate it.
i posted the ZIP on my server so have at it!

[F8] Gravity/Ground And Walls
New to flash and I'm having some trouble making gravity and having things not go through barriers and walls. I'm using something like " if (this.hitTest(getBounds(_root).xMax, _y, true)) {
_x -= hitback; hitground = true;
}" and its not so good. Sometimes you can fall through the ground and sometimes you bounce. Could anyone give me a script on Walls and gravity and maybe explain it?
Can't Make Ground Green
I'm trying to make a ground for the characters to stand on.

Can't I just fraw what I want to use? Help me plz!!!
Back Ground Script.
ok wonder if some one could help please > i wish to use a < for next loop> over a 30 frame anim but i do not want the <for next loop> to complete straight away on the first key frame but over the period of the 30 frame anim.
many thx.
ie: i want the code to run over the period of the anim a little like multi task in the back ground of the anim and not straight away before the anim begins to start.
hope thats clear thx.
need to run action scipt in the back ground while stuff going on sure im missing some thing or is this the nature of flash.
ps.sorry if this has been asked before.
[F8] Rotating Based Off Ground
Im working on a new platform game. I need some help with having the player rotate with the ground.
I have an idea but im sure there is a better way.
My idea is to have two points that are sererate from the player that move independantly on the y axis and are limited to the player on the x axis and the player is moved and rotated to fit in between them.
There are several problems with that though, mainly with jumping and colliding with edges.
[CS3] _y Ground Working With Engine
I am making a game with a few other people, but I am stuck with a bit of actionscript.
Basically I am trying to make it so that when the player reaches a certain height the ground moves downwards so he can continue upwards, however my attempts have not worked.
Heres the script for the engine I am using.
You dont have to read it all but I would just like to know why it isn't working....

Anyone know how to do it?
Help With Making Ground In A Platformer
I used this tutorial to make a platformer, and I have a small problem. It never gave me any AS to put into the ground to stop my guy from falling through. It just tells me to put the little black cross on the bottom, which I did. I don't know how to post the original flash file, which I'm sure would help.
If someone could tell me how to zip files so I can post it here, let me know.
Preloading FLV In The Back Ground
I don't have a file to share yet, but I have a client who needs help with a flash file. They have a FLV running in the background of a larger SWF. The FLV is running to slow.

Thx for any help or thoughts.
New Demo Of Z-Ground Out-100% Code
This demo of myZ-Ground was half-finished about a month ago. I want to make it better but too busy recently. I decide to share it first, all sources will go public sooner or later.
The biggest difference this demo from the old one is this swf is created by pure code. The textures of cloud and sea are created by my texture generator engine-a small tool to generate all kinds of textures using perlin noise.
DEMO:HERE
CODE:UNDER OPTIMIZATION
Z-Ground:HERE
Z-Ground Terrain Demo
This demo was to test my way of rendering terrain in z-ground engine.
The result is not very satisfactory but at least it prove that my way works!
But after some optimazation it will be usable, I think.
It looks like some kind of voxel rendering effect but actually not.
(I also write one 3D Voxel Terrain engine using as3.0, if you are interested, here it is(with code))
Again, this swf was created by pure code, the textures were generated by my texture generator engine.
By the way, my next demo, which is almost done, is about lighting and shadow, water reflection effect of z-ground engine.
Demo:HERE(arraow key to move)
(BE CAREFUL!It needs lots of time for pre-rendering,to avoid crashing you computer,download it and use a flash player to view )

Flash Game Ground
Hi all. I''ve been creating a flash game for the last couple of weeks and have most of the code sorted out. I'm now at the stage of putting in the graphics.
Can anyone help me with the ground. Basically my game is a car race. The car static and the ground scrolls from right to left under the car.. currently i have the ground as a solid shape in flash, and i want to create some detail on it. what would be the best way to do this. i was thinking a jpg but that would be way to big..
Any one got any ideas or examples???
Thanks very much for any ideas at all. Even if its just a point in the right direction.
Cheers
Making A Ground? Collision Help
im making a 2d game with platforms and walls and floors and such, i've got most of the physics i need. gravity, speed, ect. But when he is supposed to stop after "hitting the ground he just goes straight thru. The ground he should stop at is a mc called bg and inside is a mc called platform. what am i doing wrong?
Code:
onClipEvent(enterFrame){
//Keeps Character from going thru the floor, roof & walls
if(this.hitTest(_root.bg.platform)==true

Player Walking On Uneven Ground?
I've seen this done in many games though am unable to find a tutorial on the best way of doing it.

Gravity And Irregular Ground Shape.
might be fairly basic, but i dont know where to begin. So i've got a ball, and its got actionscript for it to fall at a normal gravity effect, and its got bounce scripted into it as well when it reaches a y axis value of 400.
Since i've got that scripting pretty much figured out i want to go a step further and have it land on a non-level irregular shaped surface. Say, for instance, a valley shaped movieclip. I don't want it to hit the movieclip using hitTest and have it bounce straight back up from the spot it hit, but make it more realistic and have the ball bounce based on the slant and have it roll towards the middle like a ball hypothetically would.
Its one of those things where i know what i want to happen, i have an idea about how to do it, i dont know where to start. Thanks
Suggestions On How To Make Ground Work
what do you guys suggest when making the ground in a flash game.

Racing Game Using A Seperate Mc For The Ground
I am trying to make a racing game with an overhead view looking down. There will be a seperate mc for the ground and another seperate mc for the players car. How can I do this? O ya and just in case your thinking the way I did: I already tried to "_rotate" the ground but when the car moves down the ground it moves away from the registration point, so therefore it rotates non relative to the car (like the car is skidding sideways).
Any help would be greatly appreachiated, thanx.
How To Detect Angle Of The Ground Underneath You?
I'm working on a game where you play as a ball thing rolling around levels, but I'm having trouble with the rolling physics.
I'm trying to have it so that if you're going up a slope, pressing right makes you go faster in the direction of the slope. so if I'm going up a 45 degree hill, and holding right, I'm going up and right, where as if I was going across a flat plain, all the force would just be going into going right.
I don't know any practical way to detect the angle of the slope underneath you, however, so if anyone can help, that would be very much appreciated.
Remove The Back Ground Color.

Thank's all!
Changing B/ground Colour At Runtime
Hi,
I was wondering if anyone knew how to let a user change the background colour of the flash movie during runtime by clicking a button? I need to make something like the things you see on the accessible sites.
I have tried using movie clipsthat are not visible then making them visible whne they click a button, but as I have more then one scene this is not ideal as the background on the other scenes do not change.
thanks in advance,
