Flash :: Making An Inventory List

Making An Inventory For A Point And Click Game
Hi there, im working on a point and click game in flash 8 and im having a hard time getting my head around how i might get my inventory working.

Basiclly, what im trying to achieve is -

you see an object on the stage, and you click it, a message comes up 'you have collected <item>' and the item is added to you inventory. your inventory is a box you can bring up with a little icon for each item youre holding which you can then click and use the item and blah blah blah, thats not the hard part.

So whats difficult is this inventory, how can i load movie clips into a certain place from seemingly no where, because what you click on screen isnt exactly whats going to appear in inventory. And how will i make it so the item loads into the next availiable on screen slot?

Its alot to get my head around, any thoughts, suggestions or examples would be HUGELY appriciated

Making A List With MCs
As per an earlier post, I wasn't able to find any way to control the list component as well as I need to. So, I am looking at an alternative, in a way creating my own list using MC.

So, I have a main movie clip on the stage called "mainMC" and inside that I have another movieclip called "textMC" and inside that I have a dynamic textbox named "data".

Now I am pulling data from an XML document and based on that I want to create a list using the above MCs.

Code:

...
count = myXML.firstChild.childNodes[i].childNodes.length;
for(p=0;p<count;p++){
_root[mainMC].duplicateMovieClip("textMC", "text"+p, _root.mainMC.getNextHighestDepth());
//Now I need to adjust the ._y value to move the duplicated MC down each time.
...

So, my duplication isn't even working, and I am not sure how to call the duplicated MC after to move the Y value.

Any assistance would be great!

Making List Of Variables
I am cuurently working on a simply list for a client where you enter you e mail and name and then you can choose from a list of films that you are interested in. The variables/films choosen then becomes the message for to my client. The problem is that I want the variables to be listed after each other on separate lines.

Like so

film1
film2
film3

and so on..

What I am now doing is setting the message variable like this:

message="message"+"film"

This makes a list like so

film1film2film3

So the thing is to make each new variable added on a new row?

How do you do this?

What Is Your Favorite? ... Making A List
I am trying to create a favorites list. When one clicks on a mc have the value go to a dynamic text field (multiline) – this works. What I need to know is how to add the second selection to the next row. Right now it only shows the last selection, overwriting the previous selection. I tried +newline and /n but it didn’t work.
I also searched the forum for similar, but didn’t come up with much…

_root.favlist = 0; //init dynamic text field var called favlist

orange.onPress = function () { //mc orange
_root.favlist = "orange";

grape.onPress = function () { //mc grape and so on…
_root.favlist = "grape";

I am also open to other ideas... have the first click go to 1. second to 2. and so on for all 5 fruits (or movies, bands,... the list could go on -hee hee)
Thank you,

Making A List And Checking It.
I'm making a simple Memory game, and I've gotten so far as too make a script that dumps 20 cards on the scene. Every two cards must be associated with a picture, so I made ten frames within the card.

The problem is that I must make sure only two cards per picture are choosen, and to do that I need some kind of list that says which cards or numbers already have been picked. Any ideas?

Making A List In Flash
Hi, I have a Flash question I hope someone can help me with.

I am a novice programmer and actionscript user (to say the least) and I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction.

I am making a just for fun kind of site that I will send to just my friends getting them to sign up to play football on Thanksgiving. The idea I want to use is when one of these 12 guys gets to site they can enter their name in a text field acknowledging they want to play and then their name would show up in a list with other guys names. Is this possible in Flash?

I understand that you probably need an external file to store the info and to pull from in Flash, but I am not exactly sure how to do it or the exact code I need. If anyone has time and would be willing to help please let me know.

Thanks in advance...

Making Xml List With Links
I was able to create a list component in Flash 8 and load the items from an
xml file, but I can't figure out how to make each line clickable in order to
work as a link. The code used to populate the list is:

form = new Object();
form.load=xmlConn.trigger();

The xml file is something like:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<articles>
<articles_items>
<title>Link text 2
</title>
<urlstring>article2.htm
</urlstring>
</articles_items>
<articles_items>
<title>Link text 1
</title>
<urlstring>article1.htm
</urlstring>
</articles_items>
</articles>

I intended to use the second field of each "articles_items", the "urlstring"
field, to associate with each "title" listing on the list component, so that
when "Link text 1" gets clicked it takes to "article1.htm". The instances
created are named articlesList, xmlConn, articles_ds.

Making A List Of An Array
Hai,

For my work i'm trying to get an Array properly into a text field. The array is being taken out of XML and then turned into the array and fed into a textfield. But it shows up like this:

Name1, Name2, Na
me4, Name4, Name5

But i want it to show up like

Name1
Name2
Name3
Name4

How could I achieve this?

This is my code:

var xml = new XML();
xml.ignoreWhite = true;

xml.onLoad = function() {
var score, name, time, position;
score = this.firstChild;
if(score.hasChildNodes()) {
var name = new Array();
var time = new Array();
for(var i = 0; i < score.childNodes.length; i++) {
name[i] = score.childNodes[i].childNodes[0].childNodes[0].nodeValue;
time[i] = score.childNodes[i].childNodes[1].childNodes[0].nodeValue;
position = i+1;
//naam_txt.text = position + ": " + name + " -- " + time + " sec."
naam_txt.text = name;
tijd_txt.text = time;
//trace(score.childNodes[i].childNodes[0].childNodes[0]);
//trace(position + ": " + name + " -- " + time + " sec.");
}
}
}

xml.load("tijden.xml");
//xml.load("http://gigakids.nl/files/save.php");
/*var uitslag_array;
var scoren_xml = new XML();
scoren_xml.ignoreWhite = true;
scoren_xml.onLoad = function(succes){

if(succes){
var score = this.firstChild;
var name, time, position;
uitslag_array = scoren.childNodes;
PopulateLists(uistlag_array);
}else{
trace("Dat gaat zo niet goed he!")
}
}
scoren_xml.load("http://gigakids.nl/files/save.php");

PopulateLists = function(xml_array){
naam_txt.text = tijd_txt.text = "";
for (var i=0; i<xml_array.length; i++){
name = score.childNodes[i].childNodes[0].childNodes[0];
time = score.childNodes[i].childNodes[1].childNodes[0];
var ding = xml_array[i].attributes;
naam_txt.text = ding.name + "
"
tijd_txt.text = ding.time + "
"
trace(name + " -- " + time + " sec.");
}
}*/

var uitslag_array
var xml = new XML();
xml.ignoreWhite = true;

xml.onLoad = function() {
var score, name, time, position;
score = this.firstChild;
uitslag_array = score.childNodes;
if(score.hasChildNodes()) {
for(var i = 0; i < score.childNodes.length; i++) {
var scoren = uitslag_array[i].attributes;
naam_txt.text = scoren.name + "
";
name = score.childNodes[i].childNodes[0].childNodes[0];
time = score.childNodes[i].childNodes[1].childNodes[0];
position = i+1;
naam_txt.text = name
tijd_txt.text = time + " sec."
//naam_txt.text = position + ": " + name + " -- " + time + " sec."
trace(position + ": " + name + " -- " + time + " sec.");
}
}
}
xml.load("http://gigakids.nl/files/save.php");

Thanks in advance for your help!

And yes, i have searched the forum.

Making List Component Collapsible
Hello all,

I have a List Component on the stage with a height of 240px. I want to create a button so that when clicked, the height changes to 480px, and if clicked then, it goes back to 240px.

I can do this by just doing:

myList.height = 480;

Easy, right? Now, is it possible to Tween or Animate this change? If I do a motion tween and do a Copy Motion to ActionScript, it scales the component. I couldn't do a shape tween on just the bottom left and right anchor points. I'd like this effect, and as a bonus, easing would be super cool.

Any pointers?!

Making A Sprite Move In Directions From A List In An Array ?
I found myself confused again while experimenting with flashy was hoping you wonderful people may have the answer once again !.
I wanted a sprite to move round on the screen when a play button was pushed. I have a left and a right button which store strings "left" or "right" into the next positions of an empty array called history.

When i push the play button i want i want the sprite to move either left or right according to what commands are in the array. My code just seems to play one single command and then stops when i hit play again it just repeats the same command.

Is there any way to make it play through all commands in the array one after another?

Here's the loop that i was trying to use.

PHP Code:

if (historyPlay == true) { for (var i = 0; i< history.length; i++) { switch (history[i]) { case "left" : if (sprite.facing == "N") { sprite.facing = "W"; } else if (sprite.facing == "W") { sprite.facing = "S"; } else if (sprite.facing == "S") { sprite.facing = "E"; } else if (sprite.facing == "E") { sprite.facing = "N"; } dir = "left" this.moving = true break; case "right" : if (sprite.facing == "N") { sprite.facing = "E"; } else if (sprite.facing == "E") { sprite.facing = "S"; } else if (sprite.facing == "S") { sprite.facing = "W"; } else if (sprite.facing == "W") { sprite.facing = "N"; } dir = "left" this.moving = true break; } } historyPlay = false; }

Thanks in advanced!

Inventory
i've done a search on this subject and its been posted a million times but i think i'm even more confused!!

basically i'm new to flash and i'm making a simple game, i've created about 6 different scenes (not sure if that the best way to go about it) and in each scene are items (mc's) i need to collect (keys for doors, etc).

i need some kind of inventory that keeps the stuff in throughout the game and obviously the items disappear from scene when collected and dissappear from inventory when used.

any help would be greatly appreciated.

Making Automatically Updating "top 10" List
Hi, all,

Hope this is the right forum for this.

I built this Flash-based MP3 player for a client. It runs off of an xml file. It works fine, but, now that my client's work has expanded, he'd like to have an automatically updating "Top Ten" list appear on the main page of his site.

I know that there is a way to post the most-played songs data into the HTML file; my question is, exactly how do I do that? I am fairly new to Flash, but I know a little... I am using Flash MX 2004. I assume that there will have to be some sort of data in the xml file so that the Flash player knows what song was played... And then the Flash player ought to be able to compile the data and post it automatically to the HTML page.

What code do I need, specifically? Exactly where do I put it.

I can provide files/code snippets/ whatever to anyone who needs it. I would really appreciate the help. If it is a super easy thing to do that wouldn't take someone experienced at Flash and the functions I'm talking about long to do... I might be willing to pay for it.

Thanks tons!

[CS3] Inventory System Help
Hello,

I've wanted to try making an inventory for a game I'm planning. Kinda got stuck a little. I'm trying to make the items get attached to some containers, following which items you clicked first. Here's a flash movie to better illustrate what I'm trying to achive :^)

I've already gotten until making the inventory window to pop up when you click on the items in the stage. Then attaching the movieclips to the item slots was too confusing for me. Most of the scripts are undoubtedly wrong...

There's also the .fla file! Please help :^O

Game Inventory
With the help of a more actionscript literate friend I have created a simple inventory window. That is, a movieclip with an invisible button overlaid, which when clicked leads to the inventory window opening. I'm now stuck on a way to move an item somewhere else in my game to the inventory window, once clicked on. One way I tried was to create a movieclip in my inventory window. The first frame is invisible, the second is an icon of the inventory item, and the third an enlarged version of the item. When the actual item is clicked on in another location( it is a movieclip designed to disappear once clicked, with an invisible button overlaid), i added actionscript that, on release, it should go into _root, then my inventory movieclip (called invent) then the item movieclip (called paper1)
the coding for the button is thus:
on (release) { gotoAndStop (2);
this._parent.invent.paper1.gotoAndStop(2);
}
I've gone through this many times and the item just does not appear in the inventory window, any hel pwould be much appreciated!!

Inventory System
Ok Im making a RPG game: (Here it is in development) (arrow keys to move)

http://www.imgupload.co.uk/uploads/b...d95764a4ef.swf

In the frame I have:

currentslotnum = 1;
stop ();
function addToslot (item) {
if (!item.found) {
item._x = eval ("itemSlot" + currentslotnum)._x;
item._y = eval ("itemSlot" + currentslotnum)._y;
item.found = true;
currentslotnum++;
}

Among other stuff - and on items which can be picked up I have:

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (_root.character.hitTest (this)) {
_root.addToslot (this);
}
}

- Yay that works fine. But now when I try to Have it so you click a "Inventory" button the inventory pops up - I get this:

http://www.imgupload.co.uk/uploads/e...5d05bdde1e.swf

Code on the Items:

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (_root.character.hitTest (this)) {
_root.inventory.addToslot (this);
}
}

Code on the two frames of the inventory MC:

currentslotnum = 1;
stop ();
function addToslot (item) {
if (!item.found) {
item._x = eval ("itemSlot" + currentslotnum)._x;
item._y = eval ("itemSlot" + currentslotnum)._y;
item.found = true;
currentslotnum++;
}
}

I now longer have that script on the main page. And the two Items are inside the inventory MC

What should happen?
Upon touching the two items - they should both go into inventory whenever its popped up or closed. (and you can turn the inventory off and on without it messing up)

What Happens:
Touching the two items with the invent closed does nothing - if you turn it on then and touch them - nothing happens.
But if you touch the items for the first time with the inventory open - they go into the invent - but they dont close when the inventory closes.

I think part of it is to do with the mc inventory having two frames - with the script on both frames - presumably I could use attachMC which Im new at.

Making the items disspear with the inventory when closed could be solve (i think_ with just _root.item = false; or something.

Help please?

Inventory In Rpg In Flash
Hello all,
I'm a newby in flash, and I wish to create an adventuregame (Rpg, first person view) similar to many others, just for testing my drawing abilities.

The general coding of the game is clear enough to me, but I need an inventory in which to keep useful objects during the game.
To store items inside the inventory, I used the simple tutorial suggested here in kirupa. I attached this code over the item-mc:

on (release) {
_root.addToSlot (this)

this code call the addToSlot function

function addToSlot (item) {
if (!item.found) {
item._x = eval ("itemSlot) + currentslotnum)._x;
item._y = eval ("itemSlot) + currentslotnum)._y;
item.found = true;

...and then one is added to currentslotnum (with currentslotnum++), a variable set to one in the beginning

With this code the inventory is actually functioning, the item goes to the first free slot in the inventory. But obviously I need to use later this item in the game (i.e. a key inside a hole). How can I do this? I tried with a Mc containing a button: with StartDrag and StopDrag method coded with hitTest or _droptarget nothing happens, that is the Mc don't come out of the inventory - the drag command seems to be ignored.

anyone knows how to do?

Inventory : Load Swf Instead Of Attach MC's
Hey guys,
For this problem I've included a download of the fla file so you can check out the code.

<a href="http://www.geocities.com/emtaolovesanhtao/my_controlbox.fla">http://www.geocities.com/emtaolovesanhtao/my_controlbox.fla</a>

I've managed to create an inventory, by collecting the object from 4 different scenes which are 4 separate MC's. What I want to do instead, is collect it from 4 separate swf files. For instance:

These are the 4 movie clips in the game:
MC1 = scBeach
MC2 = scSand
MC3 = scStreet
MC4 = scWater

The user has a map which uses the attachmovie function and removeMovieclip to load up the selected scene. I've created 4 swf files:

scBeach = beach.swf
scSand = sand.swf
scStreet = street.swf
scWater = water.swf

Instead of loading the MC, I want the swf to load as the scene, but I still want the inventory to work. Can I also create a separate control panel (the inventory bar which is the "frame" symbol in the fla) as a swf file too still??
Sorry if its a lil confusing . . . I'll try explain a lil more if its needed. If you can help I'd appreciate you droppin a message! thanks (:

I'm not sure which development environment to use.

Inventory Point And Click
Hi

I'm in the midst of writing a point and click game and i'm trying to get my head round how I will make my inventory. I understand that I need to store the objects into an array but I'm struggling a bit. Does anyone know how I would do this using Actionscript 3.0. BTW I'm not using frames in my game I'm doing it in seperate classes (loads of different .as files)

Cheers

Why Won't Inventory Work Inside A Mc?
Hi, I made an inventory and it works, the problem is that I need it to be inside a movieclip (menu) but it won't work. Here's how I made it:

I made movieclips that are squares with no fill and gave the instance "itemSlot" + number (I made 16). Then I added this code to the main actions frame:

ActionScript Code:
currentslotnum = 1;
stop ();
function addToslot (item) {
if (!item.found) {
item._x = eval ("itemSlot" + currentslotnum)._x;
item._y = eval ("itemSlot" + currentslotnum)._y;
item.found = true;
currentslotnum++;
}
}

And items are movieclips smaller than the slots with instance "item" + number with this code:

ActionScript Code:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (_root.player.hitTest (this)) {
_root.addToslot (this);
}
}

("player" is the user)

It works, I've tested it, but only when it is out of the movieclip. Can anyone tell me how to make this work inside the movieclip?

Thanks in advance

Making An Inventory List

How could I make an inventory list. Such as clicking a button and have it add itself to the inventory, then click a "clear" button to remove it.I am pretty good with actionscript, but have never tried this before.Thanks, Blaine
