I am creating a Simple Flash Maze Game, and i have 2 'Movie Clips' that i want to react when the collide.IE. When 'CHAR_LVL1' (A Movie Clip, controlled with the Arrow Keys) comes into contact with 'WALL_LVL1'. I want it to 'gotoAndStop(27);'
I am using the code:
Code:
onClipEvent(enterFrame) {
if (_root.CHAR_LVL1, hitTest(_root.WALL_LVL1)) {
gotoAndPlay(27);
}

i have a bunch of movie clips and in order to make them rotate the way i want i have grouped them together, made the entire group into a movie clip and applied the motion tween. I'm trying to code it so that when i mouse over the movie clips WITHIN the group movie clip, something happens. How would i go about it? All i can work out is how to make the entire group react on mouse over, not the individual movie clips themselves.
View 2 RepliesI'm experiencing an annoying issue with a movie clip button. The movie clip is linked to a class which adds a rollover and rollout effect. The issue I'm having is that, even though the button is in frame 1, the button doesn't react to the mouse for some seconds into the movie. The only thing I can think is that it's the class itself, but I'm not certain. Here's the class:-

I'd like to control a movie clips current frame by another movie clips action script.I realise the following controls the outside (root) frame time line:
on(release){
_root.gotoAndStop(1);
}
but I'm not sure how to apply that to my other movie clip. I'm guessing it would be something like this:
on(release){
_*movie_clip_name*.gotoAndStop(1);
}
As most of you don't know, I've been creating an rpg game. And, after several tries of art making, etc, I have finally moved back into coding the game. And now, I'm stuck on the equipment system idea. At first, I thought I would just place a bunch of goToAndStop's for each movie clip to go to a frame that has that certain armor piece. This was my first idea for an equipment system. However, after doing some research, and realizing how much lines of code could be saved, I started looking into simply adding and removing movie clips from the character as my new equipment system idea. Now.... on to the problem.
Basic want/ overall achievement wanted: Create an equipment system, which will basically attach movie clips (items) onto characters, which themselves will already be attached movie clips on the stage.
Problem: What is the exact code to do this? And Is there a better way to do this for an equipment system (a less laggy or more efficient way perhaps that I'm not seeing; Check the code below to get a better idea of what I'm talking about)?
Part of the code (or basic idea of code; see comments for extra details
code:
//Don't worry I have an OnEnterFrame function here;
//attachedObj= the character; figure= the MC name of the character;
attachedObj = attachMovie("figure", "figure"+1, 1);

I have multiple movie clips on stage (all in separate layers, of course) as well as buttons on stage to play each movie clip. There are buttons inside each movie clip. The problem is that the buttons inside the top layered movie clip work, but the others in the movie clips below don't.

After the dublication of an movie clip,
1. I would like to be able to delete one by one the new movie clips
2. I would like to move them all together.... First you press the word green and then click in the blue area.... A green cyrcle will appear.. Click the word green again and then in the blue square and a new green cyrcle will appear. I would like to move the cyrcles with the buttons arrownd the blue square... And when I press delete I would like to delete any cycle I choose... The flash is too large to attach it to the forum, if anyone is interested I can send it by mail.
So i made an expandable banner which overlaps a flash map. But now the flash map doesn't reacts any more for the part that is being overlap by the banner

View 1 RepliesHere's what I'm trying to do (in example form): I have a movie clip called "dude". Dude is animated to walk around, then drop a cigar (all inside the movie clip). But the problem is, dude moves, so if you try and move dude as the cigar is dropping, the cigar moves with him. So what I want to do is create a new movie clip instance called "cigar" OUTSIDE of the movie clip dude right as he's dropping it, so that you can move him without moving the cigar. Get it? I've attached another helpful animation to explain.
What I have right now is, on the 13th frame of dude, a few lines of code that create and place an instance of cigar. In that frame I also have an invisible instance of cigar for me to duplicate. Inside of the cigar movie clip is the animation that makes it fall to the ground. I need to change that code so that the instance of cigar is created outside of the movie clip dude. Here's the code I have now (inside of dude, on frame 13):

I have a problem stopping multiple clips. I have created a presentation using flash and I have many movie clips which have sub movie clips inside of them. Ok lets look at one movie clip in detail. Inside one _root movie there are multiple sub movies; each with a different movieclip labels (each movie clip is named with unique labels ie. north, south, east, west, and What I need to do is be able to STOP all these sub movie clips with one stop, and in turn PLAY these same movie clip with a second action.
The only way I know how to stop all these sub movie clips is to target each and every one individually.

What I'm trying to do is have my Flash piece have custom elements set by an XML file. I'm using ColorTransform. I have a piece that's loaded as a separate movie clip, and I can't figure out how to get to the piece and apply the ColorTransform.

I am setting up a flash game with seven toggle on/off buttons that all do the same thing.I know how to assign them all to be able to do the same function in the main timeline. What I can't figure out is how to get them all to also do the same function within each of their respective movie clips.
Here's the code:

I've been trying to reproduce an animation effect I've seen on the Armani website, but I'm stuck trying to duplicate an empty movie clip with image loaded into it. The duplicates exist and I can move them, but they are invisible. Since the duplicates reside on depths above the intitial clip I'm confused about why they are invisible. The duplicates are scripted to follow behind the initial clip - each offset by 30 pixels (though I don't have that working perfectly).
View 1 Repliesokay, i'm trying to create a full website myself, and inside my main scene movie, i have a movie clip for the content.. inside THAT clip on a frame for the links, i have another movie clip that has all the link buttons embedded... i've got those buttons set up so they stagger fade in as an effect... my problem is, they just keep repeating, and i want the fade in effect to stop after the first time. i've got a stop keyframe after the tween of every button motion, but i dont know the correct code for the movie/button clip itself to play once and then stop.. this is what i have right now, as an action on the movie clip with the buttons inside it:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
play();

I'm using Flash 8, and I'm hoping to work on a platforming game. I'm pretty familiar with programming in general, but Flash is a little confusing for me.What I have at the moment kind of works for generic collisions, but my problem is that it works too well. My player symbol collides with absolutely everything, on every layer, even including text.
Right now my file only has two movie clips, Player, and Bounds, and there's an instance of Player named player_1, and an instance of Bounds named Wall.
For collision checking, I used the following if ( _root.Wall._parent.hitTest( ... ) ) { /*do stuff*/ } and this works well enough, I collide with anything, given that I check in the right place. I'm happy with the way that this works, but is there any way I can confine the collisions to the layer the symbol is currently on? I'd like to design the levels, and just draw the foreground graphics on the layer above, and the background graphics on the layer below.
Using trace, _root.Wall._parent returns level0, which I'm going to guess is maybe the scene? I'm assuming collisions aren't really meant to be handled this way, so if I have to totally redo them, I'll understand, but it would be most convenient for me if I can confine the collisions to only a single layer.
I Have 3 Movies:MAIN.SWF, contains loading movie actions for Nav.swf and Home.swf.NAV.SWF, contains navagation menu loaded on Level 2 in Main HOME.SWF, contains slideshow for home page loaded on Level 1 in Main In NAV.SWF, there is a MOVIE CLIP "graphmc", which contains a BUTTON "graphicbtn", When this button is clicked, I'd like the HOME.SWF (which is loaded into Main.swf on Level 1) to fade out and unload, and load and fade in Graphics.SWF in place of it.

I have continually run into this so i guess i just don't understand some foundation to how AS3 works.
So, I have a movie clip in the library (ClipA) - it is linked to a class.
Inside Clip A there are 3 other Movie Clips (SubClip1, SubClip2, SubClip3).
When I place ClipA on the stage i want to adjust the frame that each of the SubClips are on.
BUT, when I try to set them to a frame in ClipA's class file i get an error like this:1061: Call to a possibly undefined method gotoAndStop through a reference with static type flash.display:DisplayObject.

I am trying to achieve something similar to the flash movie in the below link. [URL]. As we drag the points of the triangle, the coordinates labels, ( A(1,2)) are properly aligned and arrange themselves so that they never collide with each other and never falls inside the triangle.
