Flash :: Scolling Hong Kong Scene

Donkey Kong Style Game
Hi all,

I've been trying to get into more game programming recently, and one of my friends asked me about creating a donkey kong game.

For the few in the world unfamiliar with Donkey Kong here:

http://www.donkeykongonline.com/donk...line-game.html

The object of the game is to climb up the ladders to rescue the princess from a giant ape rolling barrels down at you that you have to jump over.

Now, I would never be so stupid as to ask someone to build this for me or even worse have a fully made tutorial on donkey kong, the odds of either are astronomical, plus that would take a lot of the fun out of building.

What I'm curious is if anyone knows of a good tutorial on creating aspects of this game. Such as walking up diagonally to get to DK. Thats one of the things thats stumping me at the moment, that plus getting the barrels to fall at that same angle, but sometimes come down the ladders like they do in the old game.

Then there are odd things link the fire chasing up after you.

Again, I'm not asking anyone to do this for me or anything like that, I'm just looking for some pieces. I've read a few tutorials/articles on side scrollers, but they don't really deal with diagonal movement.

Thank you in advance.

Scolling MC
hi guys!
Sorry if this is a basic and/or stupid question. My client wanted text to scroll on release, one line at a time. Now he wants it to scroll continuous on mouseover, up and down, and stop on rollout. So I've got it going up but can't get it to go continuously backwards. Anything easy to add to the code on my back button? Right now it is set to go to previous frame. Can I add something to that that will tell it to keep scrolling? As it is now you have to rollover and out everytime...
Thanks in advance...

Help!

I have this thing made, but as I add more and more entries, it will eventually go beyond the boundaries of my 160x160 box.

If you can please make me a scroller with the attached files, I would be very happy.

Also, is it possible to create a scoller to scroll the dynamically loaded XML text as well?

Thanks

Pop Ups With Scolling
I'm trying to make something that comes up with little popups when you click on certain things, but also has scrolling. I'm using flash mx

I used this tutorial http://www.flashkit.com/tutorials/Ac...-889/index.php to make the popups, then I tried adding scolling using another tutorial. Now it scolls, but the popups don't work.

Anyone have any idea how i can have both, preferably using this popup method, since I'd rather not redo all of my popups.

Thanks!

Scolling With AS2
OK if I create an swf that is 780 x 1280 and published it with AS1 and put it on the web, when I go to the site and click on swf I can scoll down the page with the scroll wheel in my mouse using Internet Explorer. When published in AS2 when I click inside the swf it won't let me scroll the browser window down.

I want to be able to scroll down and I need to be using AS2, so can anybody help me figure this one out?

Landscape Scolling?
I am trying to construct a landscape that automatically scolls when the user moves the mouse.Right now I can’t make it stop scrolling without changing frame. The user is supposed to stay in the landscape, and interact with different objects(movie clips)

Here is my code:

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {

// this code makes the movie clip ”map” move in the opposite direction as the mouse (question 1)

_root.map._x = _root.map._x-(_root._xmouse-_root.map._x)/20;

// this code checks if the mouse hits the movie clip ”three”, and if so sends the playhead to the next frame (question 2)

if (_root.map.three.hitTest(_root._xmouse, _root._ymouse, true)) {
_root.nextFrame();
}

I have two questions:

1. How to stop ”map”’s movement when it reaches the edge of the movie?(I don’t want to use nextFrame).Can I maybe check x and y coords? If so, how?

2. How to send the playhead to a different frame than nextFrame?(gotoandPlay doesn’t seem to work)

Scolling A Movieclip
I have a menu system created in flash 5, but I need a little help tweeking
it.

There are nine buttons and a large movieclip.

When you click one of the buttons the large movieclip moves into a
predefined position and it currently moves along both axis at once, however
I would like the movieclip to move along the X axis, then when in the
correct X position, moves along the Y axis , how can make this happen?

An example of the code I am currently using on the buttons is:

on (release) {
_root.menu.Xpos= -2400
_root.menu.Ypos= -1200
}

and the code on the movieclip is:

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
Xsquare = _root.menu._x;
Xdiff = Xpos-Xsquare;
Xmove = Xdiff/10;
_root.menu._x = Xsquare+Xmove;
Ysquare = _root.menu._y;
Ydiff = Ypos-Ysquare;
Ymove = Ydiff/10;
_root.menu._y = Ysquare+Ymove;
updateAfterEvent(enterFrame);
}

Thanks in advance

Side Scolling...
Sorry if this is in the wrong place but from the looks of it, its not.

I'm looking for a side-scrolling engine, development kit or a good flash/shockwave file that would be fairly simple to edit in order to make a side scrolling game. Similar to the 'mario bros' type game, nothing overly complex or difficult, just a character who can jump, move, shot and travel through a side scrolling background. I've looked around the net for a while and I couldn't find anything as of yet.

I've tried 3-4 side-scrolling dev kits, inluding the one with that name but they seem to be too weak and unsupported.

If anyone has any suggestions or ideas, it would help me a lot

thanks

Scolling Text
I have created a text box and attached a components scoll bar.
What is the easiest way to include a button that scrolls with the
text?

thank you in advance!

Scolling Text Box
I'm trying to make a scroll text block, and I've chosen this method:

scrollable text = "Huntress"
add newline add newline
"Lost in the woods in a never-ending
Pitch black, tall shadows, edges of pine
Needles glowing with a faint eerie
Green hue in the moonlight. The moon that must
Have shown somewhere, somewhere from way up high,
Outside. Not here. Here is a black dream
Standing in thin air with feet on the floor
Which way to go? They are infinite.";

Some how this isn't working, perhaps because I have many lines that skip to the next, with the "enter" button. I also plan to insert much, much more text.

Is there some easy way to copy and paste this text into the code that this will work?

Scolling Images
Hi Can anyone tell me the proper code that I should use to scroll images like a slideshow but i want it to keep going like on this site http://www.lomamedia.com/V1.html I figure the script below but it makes it keep going on. Help please

onClipEvent(enterFrame){
this._x += 3
}

Scolling Page
Hi
I have created a page (a big page like - 2600 x 2600pixels) that can be navigated by moving the mouse around the page and the cursor following the directions.. this works fine, only now I want to alter it a little, I want to be able to stop the connection between the mouse and the movement. I am thinking If i can make the movement happen only when you move the mouse 'AND' hold a key down (say the 'Z'key), whenever the key is not held down the action would stop and the user could explore the page where it had come to rest. I dont know how to put this action into my script so any help would be fantastic.
Here is my code as it stands ...

panel.onRollOver = panelOver;

function panelOver() {
this.onEnterFrame = scrollPanel;
delete this.onRollOver;
}

var b = stroke.getBounds(_root);

function scrollPanel() {
if(_xmouse<b.xMin || _xmouse>b.xMax || _ymouse<b.yMin || _ymouse>b.yMax) {
this.onRollOver = panelOver;
delete this.onEnterFrame;
}

if(panel._x >= 1250) {
panel._x = 1250;
}

if(panel._x <= -1400) {
panel._x = -1400;
}

if(panel._y >= 1139) {
panel._y = 1139;
}

if(panel._y <= -550) {
panel._y = -550;
}
var xdist = _xmouse - 400;
var ydist = _ymouse - 300;

panel._x += -xdist / 7;
panel._y += -ydist / 7;
}

thanks! J

Scolling Credits
Is there a way, where I can use a Text Area (btw, what is the _ associate in naming conventions for flash to recognize objects as text areas?, ie _mc for MovieClip), and remove it's border, load a text file that has HTML tags in it, and scroll it upwards?

Hopefully in a manner where the text can be any font I embed with the flash movie, and the text field can use the following HTML:

<b>
<i>
<u>
<div align="center">
<font face="value">

Loadmovie Problem With Scolling Mc
Hi, I've got a problem with the following. I have a scoller_mc on my main timeline which contains 5 other movie clips that scroll left/right. I'm using the targetx to movie the scoller left and right and that works perfectly.

What I'm trying to do is load an external movie when the scoller reachs say pos -1200 which is my far left mc which shows my home page for example. So if I click button home it moves left to pos -1200.

This is what I use to control the scoller_mc

home_btn.onRelease = function() {
targetX = 1200;

So what I'm looking to do is when it scrolls to this position it loads the external swf. If it's possible to do it that is.

Hope someone can help. Thanks, T.

Horizontal Text Scolling

Scolling And MouseOver/release
HI,

I have a cotinuous scrolling set of images, but I want to be able to stop them when I mouse over them.

I have two variations of code that I have been using, but I am open to other suggestions!
version 1- this is on each clip in the 'reel' of imagescode: this.onEnterFrame = function() {
this._x+=5;//this is the speed of movement
if(this._x>=500) {// adjust as you like
this._x = 0;// this is the restart position
}
}
version2 this is on the image reel itselfcode: function mover(obj) {
if(obj.mouseOver==true){
trace("test")
}else{
obj._x--;
if(obj._x<=-1150) {
obj._x=400;
}
updateAfterEvent();
}

with a setInterval on the actual clip: setInterval(_parent.mover,10,this)

Like I say, what I want to be able to do is to stop the Scrolling when I mouse over, but I can't figure it out.

Can anyone help?

Cheers

Stopping A Movieclip From Scolling Too Far
I have a simple gallery which I posted here.

The left arrow is labeled "left" and the right arrow "right". The movie clip with the pictures is labeled "track1".

I've figured out how to make the buttons move the movieclip left and right. My problem now is I want the moviclip to stop scrolling when it reaches the last picture on either end. My question is how to set up a stopping point for the movieclip.

My code so far is

left.onPress = function() {
track1.onEnterFrame = function() {
this._x += -7;
}
}

left.onRelease = function() {
delete track1.onEnterFrame;
}

right.onPress = function() {
track1.onEnterFrame = function() {
this._x += 7;
}
}

right.onRelease = function() {
delete track1.onEnterFrame;
}

Thanks is advance for any help.

[MX04] Horizontal Scolling Bar
Hi,
I'm new to flash and on a major learning curve - big time. Wonder if you could help. I've used some code off a flashkit member but it's in Spanish so am unsure of it's meaning. The flash is a horizontal moving portfolio of work with a horizontal bar that tracks the moving images. This bar is linked to the length of the horizontal moving portfolio. The problem is that I haven't been able to adjust where the bar stops so it continues off the screen. I've attached the file.

The file is uploaded at www.mhmgrax.com/chris_rawlings

The action code & fla file is attached

Scolling Movie Clips
I'm in desperate need of help. I've created a working slider and the movie clip which I want to scroll through. My movie clip is actually a group of songs I want to be able select depending on the position of the slider, much like tuning a radio. What I can't get is how I relate the position of the slider to the position of the movie clip or particular song?

My action script knowledge is pretty basic and I'm a flash amatuer comparatively. Can you help?

Thanks

Scolling An Image With Text.
I know how to make scrolling text...that's easy. But I don't know how to make it so an image can scroll with the text.

Any suggestions as to get around this..Keeping in mind I don't know much about actionscript at all.

Scolling Text Perspective
A new dialiemah of mine... I want to create a star wars like scrolling text feature. And im pretty sure its a case of altering the perspective as the movie clip rises. Well, so I think.

I thought it would be quite straite forward, but flash isnt that nice to me, so can anyone help?

I have attatched a .fla to work from if you have any spare time to offer. And the image below is a sort of description of what i think needs doing.

I not asking anyone to go to the extreme lenghts of making the hole thing, But any help will the text scrolling up bit would be great.

Thanx all.

Making A Scolling Timeline
Hi all,

CS3/AS2,

It's been a while I know but I'm back to ask for more help lol. You probably thought you got rid of me but not quite haha!

I am working on a timeline (imagine one you would see in a history lesson or something). I have the very basic idea sorted - which i have attached - and before you ask, no its not the final design

Until about 10 minutes ago, there was an arrow which you clicked on to make the timeline move. The timeline itself is just a movie clip which is masked, and when you click the arrow, it plays the appropriate part of the MC which will make it move backwards and forwards. That all worked fine but I wanted to improve it.

I have uploaded a version of what I want - but it isnt done purely with actionscript as I dont know how. If you move your mouse towards the right hand side or left hand side, directly over the blue horizontal line, the timeline moves backwards or forwards. This is just done with an invisible button which i have given an instance name and use a onRollOver command to play the MC. The inv's get disabled so that you cant constantly roll over them once they have started the process of moving the timeline.

The code is pretty simple but if you want me to post it i can. What I really want to do is basically make a version of my file but "properly" i.e. using actionscript to make the timeline move backwards and forwards.
I have seen lots of examples of photo galleries etc which do this sort of thing but they all use XML and all sorts, I just basically want to be able to have this timeline move around.
There is a possibility that it would extend in size over time and so I would want it to be masked, and just move when the user mouses over the right hand side or left hand side.

Hope that all makes sense and I hope by uploading my files it will make more sense and you can help me. It wont let me upload a .swf so i zipped both the fla and swf and uploaded it. I know its possible to be done, i just dont know where to start.

Thanks in advance

Horizontal Scolling Background
HI!!!

I've got a button operated horizontal scrolling background. the Buttons have two functions: one jogs the scroller forward a slide and the other jogs the scroller backward a slide. I'm wondering if anyone could help me out with programming the scroller to respond to several different buttons. Ie. I would like to have several nav buttons at the botton the window which wil forward or reverse the necessary amount of slides to jog to their respective slide. So you could be on the first slide and click on the third button and it would scroll past the second to the third.

I've placed the swf online as well as a link to download the FLA at www.test.thelongfellows.com

ANY HELP WOULD BE AWESOME. Thanks a bunch!

Flash Tutorial On Scolling Icons? Help Heh.
Basically what I'm trying to do with this project i'm working on is create links at the bottom for something like a slide show... Here's an example on ebay:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...33274 64&rd=1

When you scroll down to the slideshow you see how the pictures scroll across? Well this is what I would like to recreate but on the bottom for a slide show. I can't find a tutorial on it anywhere. I know the basic actionscripting i guess to have it scroll as the mouse moves but i dont know it enough to get htis to work. Basically do i have to make something in photoshop where its all the pictures strung together and then bring it into flash? I'm kind of lost on that. Also this site:

http://www.profx.us/builder/fx_boot.asp

The way their site is layed out is basically how i want to lay out my new site. With a movie going like that in the background with the links overlapping... And the way they do their on rollover's. Nothing that intense as what they show but I haven't really seen any good way to do text animations like that.

I don't know if any of this makes any sense to you guys what I'm looking for but if you need more info or if you have a direction i should head please let me know. Thanks

Modifying The Scolling Thumbnail Gallery
Hi,

Can anyone help me modify this code from the tutorial here on kirupa?
http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx2004/thumbnails3.htm

I'm just trying to change it so that a small line of text appears under each thumbnail. Each line of text is pulled from the XML file and is created using createtextfield. But after a few hours trying to warp the code to get it to work I still haven't gotten anywhere.

Any help is appreciated. thanks.

I've tried many different approaches of attaching these text fields to the mc but no go. These two lines do create a text field for each thumb-but these fields do not scroll with the thumbnails. I'd like these text fields to be inside the "thumbnail_mc" clip so that when the thumbnails scroll the text moves along with it.
////////////////////////////////////////
this.createTextField("price"+k,k,0+(k*150),0,200,2 0);
this["price"+k].text = price[k];

This is the area of code in question:
////////////////////////////////////////
function thumbnails_fn(k) {
thumbnail_mc.createEmptyMovieClip("t"+k, thumbnail_mc.getNextHighestDepth());
this.createTextField("price"+k,k,0+(k*150),0,200,2 0);
this["price"+k].text = price[k];

tlistener = new Object();
tlistener.onLoadInit = function(target_mc) {
target_mc._x = (target_mc._width+0)*k;
target_mc.pictureValue = k;
target_mc.onRelease = function() {
p = this.pictureValue-1;
nextImage();
};
target_mc.onRollOver = function() {
this._alpha = 50;
thumbNailScroller();
};
target_mc.onRollOut = function() {
this._alpha = 100;
};
};
image_mcl = new MovieClipLoader();
image_mcl.addListener(tlistener);
image_mcl.loadClip(thumbnails[k], "thumbnail_mc.t"+k);
}

Smooth Mouse / Scolling Movement
Hi there,

I am creating a dragging scrollbar movie of a timeline (the history kind, not the flash kind). I am using the actionscript to control the movement of the clip. The following code is placed on the dragging movie:

PHP Code:

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {if (dragging) { this._x = _root._xmouse; dxdrag = this._x - start_x; start_x = this._x; _root.timeline._x -= speed*dxdrag; }}

Now this all works great, and is pretty smooth. But I would like to smooth it out more and add some easing, both in and out.

Does anyone have any ideas how to do this? Do I need to use a tweening class like PennerEasing?

Thanks,

Steve

EDIT: I just realised i missed off a massive thing. Because this is a timeline, certain points on the scrolling area have to correspond exactly with points on the main content.

Had best add that "speed" is worked out as the difference between the widths of the two movieclips, the dragger and the content..

How'd They Do These Effects? Clickable,scolling,images
Visit www.hqfilms.com

The home page has scrolling images that hold on the screen. If you rollover the image, some text gives information. If you click it, you go to that image's section, otherwise the next image loads. There is also a cool effect as each image loads. What is that?

Great site.

Similar effect occurs on the contact page as you click between HQ 'contacts' and Brand 'contacts'.

Basic Scolling Movie Rollover Inside Mc
hi there
I assume this is very simple, but completely beyond me!
T have used Jeremy Buntons Horizontal Cursor Controlled Scrolling Navigation tutorial, (Thanks!) to build a lovely movie that scrolls horizontally, but "pauses" when you mouse over it. It works fine if you put the movie in the the main timeline, and the accompanying actionscript on the movie clip.
But I cant figure out how to get this to work when the scrolling movie clip is not on the maintimeline, but infact inside another movie clip (and then on the timeline).

this is the actionscript that is assigned to the scrolling movie clip (with instance name scrollclip) - what do i change about this when i am putting it inside another movie clip?
do i change _root. to something else or,,...?

help thanks

Scolling Dynamic Images In Text Field
Hi,

I have a text field which is dynamically pulling in a text file, as well as an image using <img> tag. I have up and down arrows to scroll the contents, but when I added the image, it scrolls down to show about half of it, and then stops scrolling.

Is it possible to scroll w/ an embedded image in a dynamic textfield? Here is the code I have on the "up" scroll button:

on (press) {
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
_root.strategybox.scroll -= 1;

};
}
on (release) {
delete this.onEnterFrame;
}

Any help???
Thanks
