Solid Objects In A Game
I have a movie clip named man, that is charecter its actions are this
onClipEvent (load) {
speed = 6;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (key.isdown(key.RIGHT)) {
gotoAndPlay(4);
_x += speed;
}
if (key.isdown(key.LEFT)) {
gotoAndPlay(3);
_x -= speed;
}
if (key.isdown(key.UP)) {
gotoAndPlay(1);
_y -= speed;
}
if (key.isdown(key.DOWN)) {
gotoAndPlay(2);
_y += speed;
}
if (key.isdown(key.RIGHT) && key.isdown(key.UP)) {
}
if (key.isdown(key.LEFT) && key.isdown(key.UP)) {
}
if (key.isdown(key.RIGHT) && key.isdown(key.DOWN)) {
}
if (key.isdown(key.LEFT) && key.isdown(key.DOWN)) {
}
}
onClipEvent (keyUp) {
gotoAndPlay(2);
}
The bottom layer in the main scene is a jpeg image it has water and tree hill etc. what i want to is set boundrys for my charecter too not pass through them as if they where solid. i cant even prevent him from walking off the stage? this puzzels me he walks about just fine just like but he walks to fine even on top water and tress. how do I make limitions to his movement heres the .fla link http://24.98.190.46/beta.fla

How Do I Make Objects Solid So Te Car Cant Go Through Them?
I've made a car move around with the kyboard buttons, but i want to make objects that the car cannot pass through and hopefully bounce off how would i go about that?
I want to see if i could use the the flash drawing engine as well, so that they could draw their track then it would be solid, so they can race the car round in it? is that possible?

if (Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)) {
this._x += moveSpeed;
} else if (Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)) {
this._x -= moveSpeed;

"Solid" Objects?
I need to be able to create walls/blocks that are solid so a character can walk on it, and also not jump through it (from the bottom). This is for a class and we were given a template game to work from, it has blocks in it that you can walk on, and not through from the side, but you can jump up through from the bottom and I don't understand the coding he used to do it. (It's an art school, so they don't really teach us much about scripting.) I remember it being very simple in 2.0, and my teacher said they changed how it works for 3.0.
I think this is the script that dealt with it..
Code:
var newY:Number = char.mc.y + verticalChange;
// loop through all fixed objects to see if character has landed
for(var i:int=0;i<fixedObjects.length;i++) {
if ((char.mc.x+char.width/2 > fixedObjects[i].leftside) && (char.mc.x-char.width/2 < fixedObjects[i].rightside)) {
if ((char.mc.y <= fixedObjects[i].topside) && (newY > fixedObjects[i].topside)) {
newY = fixedObjects[i].topside;
char.dy = 0;
char.inAir = false;
break;
}
}
}
// find new horizontal position
var newX:Number = char.mc.x + horizontalChange;
// loop through all objects to see if character has bumped into a wall
for(i=0;i<fixedObjects.length;i++) {
if ((newY > fixedObjects[i].topside) && (newY-char.height < fixedObjects[i].bottomside)) {
if ((char.mc.x-char.width/2 >= fixedObjects[i].rightside) && (newX-char.width/2 <= fixedObjects[i].rightside)) {
newX = fixedObjects[i].rightside+char.width/2;
char.hitWallLeft = true;
break;
}
if ((char.mc.x+char.width/2 <= fixedObjects[i].leftside) && (newX+char.width/2 >= fixedObjects[i].leftside)) {
newX = fixedObjects[i].leftside-char.width/2;
char.hitWallRight = true;
break;
}
}
}

Making Objects Snap
I have a childrens collage program that basically is a FLASH Mr. Potato head. you have a figure on the stage and a list of items ie, nose, hair, lips, eyes and so-on.
The problem I am having is I want these objects to snap into place or be able to snap to another object for example I have a set of eyes on the stage and I want to add glasses I would want the glasses to snap to the eyes so they are aligned correctly...

Making Text Go Around Objects
Is there anyway to make text automatically form around a picture or other object. To give you another idea of what i'm talking about, i want to know if flash can form text around picture like in microsoft publisher. Where if you have a picture and you have a text box around it text will automatically go to the edge of the picture.

Making Objects Draw?
Hey all, I'm a newb at AS 3.0 but learning pretty fast. I know how to draw with AS and have recently completed my first drawing, a pencil (told you I was a newb). I have the pencil moving with the flow of the mouse via an Enter Frame event.
What I would like to do is have the pencil draw lines when I press down on the mouse. Is this possible? And if so how would i go about doing it?
Thanks all, looking forward to working with you all from here on out.

Making Objects Move
Hello,
I have the following code:
ActionScript Code:
package{
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.events.*;
class tower_defense extends MovieClip{
var lives = 20;
var waypoint_x = new Array(120, 120, 66, 66, 248, 248, 150, 150, 433, 433, 352, 352, 510);
var waypoint_y = new Array(215, 94, 94, 30, 30, 262, 262, 331, 331, 222, 222, 140, 140);
var delay = 35;
var new_monster = 0;
var monsters_placed = 0;
public function tower_defense() {
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,main_lvl);
}
public function main_lvl(event:Event){
if (monsters_placed<25) {
new_monster++;
}
if (new_monster == delay) {
monsters_placed++;
new_monster = 0;
var min:minion = new minion();
min.point_to_reach = 0;
min.speed = 1;
min.x = -20;
min.y = 215;
min.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,minion_enterframe);
addChild(min);
}
}
public function minion_enterframe(event:Event){
var current_minion:minion = (event.currentTarget as minion);
var dist_x = waypoint_x[current_minion.point_to_reach]-current_minion.x;
var dist_y = waypoint_y[current_minion.point_to_reach]-current_minion.y;
if ((Math.abs(dist_x)+Math.abs(dist_y))<1) {
current_minion.point_to_reach++;
}
var angle = Math.atan2(dist_y, dist_x);
current_minion.x = current_minion.x+current_minion.speed*Math.cos(angle);
current_minion.y = current_minion.y+current_minion.speed*Math.sin(angle);
current_minion.rotation = angle/Math.PI*180-90
if(current_minion.x > 500){
removeChild(current_minion);
lives--;
//_root.path.lives.text = lives;
if(lives == 0){
// game over
}
}
}
}
}
and i have the 2 objects, minion and the background (which is just on the main scene)
Now my problem is that, when i compile it (gives no errors) and run it. It just doesn't do anything. Did i do anything wrong with the listeners? (I ported it from AS2 as i want to learn AS3)
Many thanks, Smurf Minions

Making Objects Fade Out
So I am really new to actionscript 3.0. I have been programming for about 4 years now. Anyway, I have a very simple question. I have made a movieclip (represented by a circle on the stage) and I want to make it fade, so I used this code: (note that i named the instance ball)
ball.alpha = 1;
while(ball.alpha > 0)
{
ball.alpha-=0.01;
}
So anyway the problem with this seems to be that it waits until the whole section of code has to run before it refreshes the screen, which makes sense. So what I need to know is if there is a simple way to force the drawing after ball.alpha-=0.01;. Maybe something like:
while(ball.alpha > 0)
{
ball.alpha-=0.01;
StageDraw();
}
Remeber I am new to Actionscript. I understand coding in other languages, but even making a variable in Actionscript seems unnecessarily long and overcomplicated.

Making Objects Visible Thru Variables
Hi, I'm not new to this, but since I don't practice a lot, I end up kind of rusty...
I am setting up a presentation in the following way:
A user selects from 5 options on the 1st frame. Say, out of 5 images, he selects "ImageA".
Then he presses the button "select". It will then take him to a frame that has 5 images stacked on each other with _visible=0. Upon selecting "ImageA" on the first frame, only that image will be visible.
I can't get it to work, tried diffent ways, but no matter what, the _visible=0 action overrides all attempts to make it visibile.
Any ideas? I have the FLA to send you, it's nasty lookin but I want to make it work first then make it look good.
Thanks for all help offered,
Rich

Problem In Making Objects Communicate
My problem is, from inside an object placed on the stage using the addChild() method, I can't access methods/properties of stage and other objects using "this.parent".
Suppose I defined "Boot.as" class as the Document Class of an fla file and its duty is to load an instance of a Win class that is a basic window:
package {
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import Win;
public class Boot extends MovieClip {
private var _myWindow:Win;
public function Boot() {
_myWindow=new Win();
addChild(_myWindow);
}
}
}
Now, when in my Win class I try to access the parent of the Win object (That should be the loader and then,the stage), I get an error:
package {
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.text.TextField;
import Boot;
public class Win extends MovieClip {
public function Win() {
trace(this.parent);
}
}
Here is the error :
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
at Win()
at Boot()
My question is, why I can't communicate with the stage? Why I can't communicate with other objects from inside an object? and what is the routine way of doing this?
Thanks

Making A Game-- Falling Objects
I very new at flash and am making a game where basically the player is a little man at the bottom of the screen and you can move left and right while things fall from the sky. Some things you want to catch by being hit by them and other things you want to avoid. I don't know how to make objects fall randomly from the top of the screen and just go straight down... I have seen tutorials on snow and things but they float around.. I would just like my objects to go straight down. If anyone can help me I would appreciate it.

Linked Objects Are Making My Head Hurt. Help
It seems that before you even call on a "linked" object within a movie, It is loaded into the movie on the very first frame.
The result being that the object is loaded even before the preload begins, leaving you with a blank screen until the object has finished loading. This occures even if you don't attach that object at all through the entire movie.
Does anybody know what can be done about this?

Making Random Objects Appear On A Menu--HELP APPRECIATED
Ok, this is what I want to do.
I have a menu on a Flash movie.
Once it's done loading all of the buttons, what I want to do is have a character come in from the side. But I want it to be dynamic so each time the movie is loaded, a diffrent character would appear.
Hence the name 'random charachters'.
I have a feeling it has something to do with Movieclips and Actionscript.
For refrence, this is how my menu is set up:
Logo for movie appears, gently decreases in size and moves to the bottom left of the screen. Buttons appear. And then, after all of that, the random charater would appear. Of course at this point I would have the stop(); at the end of all of this so the user has time to choose.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Making An Array Of Custom MovieClip Objects
I have an object called MenuButton that extends MoveClip. I want to arrange 8 MenuButton objects in a cirle. The easiest way to do this would be to use a for loop and an array of MenuButton objects.
The problem is, I'm not exactly sure how to make an array of objects. I've seen some code online, appears to be AS2 and I need 3. It's also not very clear if it does what I need it to.
It would also be cool if I was able to name the buttons sequentially, i.e.: button1, button2, etc. I've seen AS2 code for that, but again it's not too clear if that'll work the same in AS3 and if the code I've seen will do what I need it to.
Hopefully that kinda makes sense. Thanks in advance.

Making Staged Objects Visible In Events
(this post is a follow-up to another discussion about the timer class.)
How do i get an object on the stage to be accessible in a timer event? here's my code:
import flash.utils.Timer;
var strText:String = dtDisplay.text;
function runMany(event:Event):void {
trace("runMany() called @ " + getTimer() + " ms");
strText = 'haha';
}
var myTimer:Timer = new Timer(5000,1);
myTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, runMany);
myTimer.start();
--In the function runMany, I originally tried:
dtDisplay.text = 'haha';
this produced an error from Flash indicating i was trying to set the property of a null object.
now i'm trying to use strText as a pointer to the dynamic text instance on the stage. What happens is this case is I don't see any display text. (The runMany function does produce the traced output, though.)
I described my project in the prior thread. Here's what i've got.
2 layers, actions and display. Display is below the Actions.
first frame, display, keyframe. I've got an instance of dynamic text given the instance name dtDisplay.
first frame, actions, keyframe. I've got the code above.
second fr, display, keyframe. I copied the keyframe from frame 1 to 2 here. I also tried it without this copied keyframe.
second frame, actions, keyframe. stop();
---------
Can anyone tell me what the secret is of having a dynamic text instance on the stage accessible via a timer event?
thanks.

for example, the 3 in the attached .fla file
I have tried looking on the internet and forums and stuff but either i'm blind or stupid cause all i could find was stuff to do with moving the camera around the screen or using actionscript to do special looking things.

Making Line Move Connecting Two Sprite Objects
Hello there so I need some help in animating this thing. The concept is two circles connected to each other at the circle center by a line. The balls are draggable and I want the line connecting the two balls to also change and move along with the ball so that the two balls are always connected. I am so new to graphics programming and I am quite clueless to make this work. However I have a class that creates the two balls and draws a line connecting them. Can anyone help me out on this? Thanks!
Edit: ok so the program shows what I am attemting to do EXCEPT I want the line to move along with the ball not just appear after I have dropped the ball. I don't know how dynamic this code here is and I would like to get it so that I can connect an undefined number of dynamically generated nodes but thats a problem I will tackle after I get this going.
ConnectedCircles.as:
ActionScript Code:
package
{
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
public class ConnectedCircles extends Sprite
{
private var dragTarget:Sprite;
public var node1:Ball;

edge.graphics.lineStyle(1, 0, 1);

edge.graphics.lineTo(node2.x, node2.y);
addChild(edge);
}

if (event.target is Sprite) {
dragTarget = event.target as Sprite;
dragTarget.startDrag();
/*if (event.target.edge >= 0) {
edges[event.target.edge].addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, onMouseMove);
}*/
}
}
private function dragStopper(event:MouseEvent):void
{
dragTarget.stopDrag();
edge.graphics.clear();
edge.graphics.lineStyle(1, 0, 1);
edge.graphics.moveTo(event.currentTarget.x, event.currentTarget.y);
edge.graphics.lineTo(event.currentTarget.connectedToNode.x, event.currentTarget.connectedToNode.y);
}
private function onMouseMove(event:MouseEvent):void

//trace("df");
/*edges[event.target.edge].graphics.clear();
edges[event.target.edge].graphics.lineStyle(1, 0, 1);
edges[event.target.edge].graphics.moveTo(nodes[event.target.edge].x, nodes[event.target.edge].y);
edges[event.target.edge].graphics.lineTo(mouseX, mouseY);*/
}
}
}
Ball.as:
ActionScript Code:
package {
import flash.display.Sprite;
public class Ball extends Sprite {
public var radius:Number;
public var id:String;
public var edge:Number;
public var connectedToNode:Ball;
private var color:uint;
public var vx:Number = 0;
public var vy:Number = 0;
public function Ball(radius:Number=40, color:uint=0xff0000) {
this.radius = radius;
this.color = color;
init();
}
public function init():void {
graphics.beginFill(color);
graphics.drawCircle(0, 0, radius);
graphics.endFill();
}
}
}
On a side note..when I try to do
ActionScript Code:
node1.id = "node1";
I get an error that 'id' is not part of the Ball class. If Ball extends Sprite I would have thought the 'id' attribute was inherited?

Fading An MC As A Solid
hi,
I have a few movieclips that I am fading out alpha with actionscript
The problem is the MC is not a solid shape, it has layered shapes in it, so you can see all the shapes within it fading indivually
Is there a way of fading an MC as if it were a solid (bitmap?)
Is there an easy way of converting a vector mc into a bitmap in actionscript?

Solid Wall
I am making a labyrinth in Adobe Flash at my school. I have already made the ball, which you must play with through the labyrinth. You click the ball with mouse and move it with your mouse. How I get the walls of the labyrinth to be solid that the ball cant go over the walls?
Is there any way to make it solid? Another idea I had is to make te ball jump one pixel farther from the wall when it touches the wall.
I have tried some several scripts, but all I have achieved is that the ball jumps over the wall, so in a way the wall is solid, but I want the ball to bounce from the wall.
The game is simple. The ball is drawn movieclip and the walls are lines made into movieclip.
Thank you in advance

For Those Of Ya That Know Metal Gear Solid.
Hi! I'm making a sequel to my Metal Gear Solid parody, and I need a place with music from it. I've seen other parodys of it, and they have the music from the game.
And also, I read this tutorial a week ago, and it said "Each scene is for different parts of the movie, such as an Intro, the Main Part" and blah blah blah. When I finished making my first Flash (my parody) there were so many folders filled with layers, it was hard to keep track of. Would making a scene for the Intro, first part of the movie, second part of the movie, then credits change anything?
I could learn a preloader, but I'm lazy Does a preloader do anything besides perform actions after it is done loading and tell you how much it has loaded?
Why doesn't the movie clip timeline show up with the main timeline when you play it when you're editing it, but when its in .SWF format, it shows it?
When I played my movie in .SWF format, the sound loop would go *plays loop, stops half a second, plays loop again*. Why does it do that? Is there any way to prevent that?

myShape.graphics.drawCircle(20, 10, 25);
myShape.graphics.endFill();
this.addChild(myShape);
The above code is AS3, but I believe the same thing happens for AS2 as well. The overlapping area between the two circles is not clack
Is there something I'm missing to make it one solid black object? I've seemed like I've crawled the livedocs for an hour!
Thanks!

LocalConnection: Solid Or Brittle?
I'm building a site that will stream audio and video recordings in a custom Flash 9 media player.
The recordings will stream in a pop-up window. However, I would like to display some info about the currently playing recording in the main browser window (title, time elapsed, etc.) and also provide a play/pause button. Basically like embedding a "remote control" for the pop-up in the main page.
The most obvious choice to accomplish this seems to be local connection. Having never used local connection before, I'm hoping someone with a little experience with it can quell a couple of my concerns; specifically:
Is LocalConnection brittle? (i.e. cross-browser issues, buggy, etc.)
While using the player, will the user experience side effects if navigating to another site that uses local connection?
As LocalConnection has been around since Flash 6, is there now a better method to facilitate communication between the remote SWF and the player SWF?

Random Particles To Solid
I'm trying to figure out how I might achieve the reverse of Andy Fould's beautiful photo transition effect (http://www.andyfoulds.co.uk)...
basically I want a number of particles (squares) to begin small and invisible and then each have a random path and velocity as it scales to 100% and alphas in to form a larger, solid background. My main problem is with randomizing its movement from one place (random position on the stage) to its final destination (each square next to one another to form a solid). Any help would be much appreciated.
