ActionScript 1/2 :: Tetris Game - Block Go Directly To The Bottom On The Press Of "space"?
Apr 10, 2010
I'm using AS2 and fps120.I'm creating a tetris game, but I encountered a problem: I made a function which makes the block go directly to the bottom on the press of "space".I used
if(Key.isDown(Key.SPACE)){
...
}
But when I pressed space, the blocks stacked up immediately. It's because after I press space, another block apears immediately and goes to the bottom immediately, and keeps going until I release spade. It isn't a problem if I use lower fps, but my fps is 120, which means even I release space as quickly as I could, at least six blocks would stack up. I want to know is there anyway to detect the releasing of "space" or a detection which only detects on the instant I press, instead of when the key is down.

I am currently working on a new game and I need help on this part. It is probably simple to do but I am a noob. Basically I am making a window cleaning game and I have set it up so that the dirt slowly dissapears through the frames. What I need to know is how to I script it so that each time I press space it jumps to each frame.
e.g hit space jump to frame 2 press again jumps to next frame.I know How to set up the key press and know space is 32..

The problem is: when the game starts, "SPACE BAR" is working fine and changes the game from day to night. When the game ends and I press restart, the SPACE key is not working. On the third time it works, on the fourth not and it follows that way. Every second time that I play the game, the SPACE key doesn't work.
The game initializes the player and sends him as a parameter a stage object and the player listens for KEY_UP.When I press restart, the game runs the init() function again.Below there are the Game.as and Player.as classes.
Code:
package

import com.greensock.TweenLite;[code].....

i am a newbie flash designer. a client has asked me to make modifications in a flash file used on his website. it is flash 8 actionscriptfile which i decompiled using sothink decompiler 4.5 build 90120 to '~divisions original.fla'. the xml folder resides in the same folder as ~divisions original.fla. it contains divisions.xml.i discovered a problem - if you view 'divisions.swf' - when you click on 'retail visual solutions'and scroll to the bottom, you can see that there is no space after the text. the end of the text aligns with the end of the scrollbar. but when you click on eyesite, and scroll to the bottom, you can see that there is space after the text. the end of the text does not align with the end of the scrollbar.
my additional questions are:has the creator of the swf file used some unique scrollbar code or is this scrollbar provided in flash itself. in this case, i can read a tutorial to understand it better.i have given 'is correct - no space at bottom of text.jpg' and 'is incorrect - space at bottom of text.jpg' to further explain my query.

I've got a dynamic vertical scrolling gallery which works fine except for one small thing. There is lots of space underneath the last item in the gallery which shouldn't be there... [URL] I can't for the life of me figure out why the extra space is there at the bottom...

I have a var defined and that is colour var colour = 0; and I want to increase var everytime you press space so I have an invisible button with this code in it
on (keyPress "<Space>") {
colour+1;
}
This is so that I can advance in a movieclip. I have the code for that here:
onEnterFrame; {
if (colour == 1) {
head.gotoAndStop(1);
}

I am making a space invader game as a uni project. Please seee attched file.I am getting an error:TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at MethodInfo-19()It only happens sometimes when an invader is removed in the moveBullet method I think but basically the game behaves incorrectly and sometimes goes to the You Win frame even if the user has lost or just lost a life.

I have an image that doesn't fill the <mx:Image> tag because it's not the exact dimensions (it is too short) and I have maintainAspectRatio set to true:
<mx:Image id="theImage"
source="{data.photo_thumb}"
horizontalCenter="0"[code]....
The <mx:Image> tag has a fixed width and height (it's 100% of the tile size--this is in an ItemRenderer). How do I get the image to sit on the bottom of the <mx:Image> tag?

trying to color objects that are flying around in my space game.When I shoot and hit them - the affected enemies shall blink. The graphics are pre-rendered (i.e. there's an rotation array and function where the degrees and their appropriate rotation for the objects are stored / calculated for better performance).
So - my idea was to enhance that rotation function with a functionality for additional coloring; but the colored AND rotated objects shall be stored apart of the normal rotated objects. To accomplish this I made a nested array:in row one there are 360 rotated graphics of one object and in row two there are 360 graphics of a rotated and colored object.
Problem: Coloring works but they are not rotated (always at 0 degrees).
Code:
public function createRotationWithColorBlitArrayFromBD(sourceBitmapData:BitmapData, inc:int, offset:int = 0):Array
{
trace("sourceBitmapData.width=" + sourceBitmapData.width);

I'm trying to make my platform game character shoot a gun, my character and gun are one movieclip and the bullet is another. The bullet mc starts on a blank frame with a stop() function, when I press the space bar the bullet mc plays from frame 2 which is a motion tween of the bullet quickly moving across the page. I've set the bullet's y and x values relative to the character mc so that the bullet always comes from the gun.
My issue is that if I press the space bar a bullet will fly out of the gun (great!) but if I press the space bar again, the first bullet disappears and the bullet animation starts again. I want to be able to shoot a new bullet every time I press the space bar without effecting the bullets that have already been shot.

I am making my first game and it's my first time using actionscript. I am making a sniper game themed with the L96A1 sniper rifle from COD: Black Ops and the map nuketown. I'm in cs5 with ac3 and on my stage I have two movie clips that I'm working with. I'm not really sure if they're supposed to be movie clips though. Anyways, one is the gun, and the other is the zoomed in scope overlay thingy.
For now, I'm trying get the zooming in to work. I haven't done anything else though except collect graphics for enemies, the landscape, the gun, and the scope. I want to make it so that you zoom in and out by holding and letting go of the space bar. Also,I want to make it so that when you are not zoomed in, the gun moves horizontally at the bottom of the screen (aligned vertically with the cursor). And when you are zoomed in, the scope crosshair is the cursor.So my idea was to set the gun as the cursor and make it only move horizontally at the bottom of the stage and then make an event listener that listens to when the spacebar is pressed and when it is, disables the gun as the cursor (and makes it transparent to get it off the screen) and makes the scope the cursor [was transparent, now opaque and unrestricted(vertical movement also)].
I got as far as making the gun move horizontally at the bottom with the cursor. I cant get the event listener working because I don't really know how to go about changing the opacity of each movie clip and how to switch cursors. So I am asking how do I change the opacity and switch the cursors when the spacebar is held and then reverse those changes when the spacebar is released? Here's my code on an "actions" layer [I haven't done any animations yet, so everything is on frame 1. Also, I used a couple preset code snippets since I have no previous experience with actionscript (I can understand most of it though)]:
Code:
import flash.events.KeyboardEvent;
// make gun cursor
stage.addChild(gun);[code]..........

I was trying to make a game with simple spaceships and a bullet that is supposed to hit them and delete them on screen. As all ships are deleted the level gets up by one, increasing number of ships to delete. I think the collision detection part of my program works fine, but their is some problem in their motion synchronization.
Code:
package {
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;

I've been following a tutorial on [URL] but changing and removing various things to fit to the game I am (very, very slowly) trying to make. I am attempting to make an up-side-down Space Invaders like game, but with balloons instead of aliens.
So far (by following the tutorials and being lucky) I have managed to make the player's ship which moves by pressing the arrow keys and can shoot two (blue) lasers when the spacebar is pressed. The enemy balloons randomly appear below the bottom of the screen and shoot a laser upwards towards the player's ship when the player goes above (Y axis I think) any balloons.
The problem is that the balloons fire a massive stream of shots (red lasers), but I want to delay each next shot by a few seconds, but the time of the delay doesn't matter because I'll tweak it later.
I've been trying to make delays for the balloon lasers by copy/pasting bits of code from Ship.as in an attempt to make it work ...Maybe it's a good time to say I am a complete noob at AS3 apart from when it comes to messing up and having no idea what is going on
I've attached my current (broken) work and a working SWF of before trying to add delays to the balloons shots. If you want to see it working first hand then replace the Balloon.as in actionscript.game with the Balloon(working).as and change the filename to Balloon.as.

One of my main interests is playing games so I thought why not make a game? I see lots on the Internet games based in Flash so I thought that would be my best starting point to make actual graphic based games... (not to mention I actually got taught at university how to use flash to a certain extent). The game I decided upon was tetris. I'm sure you're all familiar with the block based puzzle game and might be able to shed some light upon what I am doing right and what I am doing wrong. So, I've firstly made my game screen with a window for all the blocks to come down in.
I've also put some dynamic text place holders ready for when I come to keeping track of how many 'lines' the player has scored, the time and so on in the right hand side of the screen. I have made graphics for the different colour 'building blocks' (just one block of 24x24 in different colours for each shape) and then used the 'building blocks' multiple times to create my shapes (I, J, L, O, S, T, Z). These blocks are called tetrominoes. Now I've come to a point where I need to import these tetrominoes randomly from the library and get them to appear in the middle just off the top of my block screen.
How do I import random objects from a particular folder in my library to the stage in Flash CS5 AS3? After realising a quick solution to my problem was not to be found quickly I then thought about what will happen to this block once it has been imported... Well, in Tetris the block moves slowly down until it hits another block or the bottom of the block screen. I know that I can do something with a detectHit() function. How do I get my block to move down the screen by a set amount of pixels every second or so?

I am in the process of creating a vertical scrolling space shooter game for deployment on mobile platforms using AIR.I've used some excellent tutorials online, video tutorials on Lynda and several books, including Game Programming University.Something they all seem to gloss over are the various screens that will be used.
For instance, my game right now will use a splash screen, a main menu screen, a credits screen,a settings screen, a difficulties screen, an instruction screen, an end game screen and save/load screen...and a play game screen, where the actual game will be played.I've created the screens as seperate frames in the main timeline with stop commands in between and code on each page (I know... bad!... but easy).So basically,they can navigate through the menus using buttons (mouseclicks, which will work with touchs as well) and when they are How do I pass data between them? I was thinking of storing it in shared object.
