I have a character, he stays in the center whilst the surroundings move instead (scrolling). There is a block and when you walk into it, I need it so you cannot walk through it or get stuck in it. Here is my code below but, its very buggy, this is obviously been done before and may be simple, once I learn it I wont need to ask again. Iv tried other things but they dont work.[code]
View 6 RepliesI am currently making a platformer game and I want to make a hitTest script that makes a character that touches a few spikes teleports to a position on the map.

Important: ActionScript 2.0Flash CS3I have some knowledge in Java and C++ which makes this easier... Im trying to make a game and the collision *** does not stop the character in its spot... if i set _y to 0 then it would go to the top of the screen... if i set _y to -1 each frame that the hitTest is active then the character goes through the platform and the rises by -1 (1 up) _y .... how can i make it so the character is stopped immediatly when touching (hitTest) the platform?

I am currently working on a game and I am stuck. I do not know how to make a rounded surface that will act as a wall/barrier. It is pretty much a semi-circle. I know you can make a circle act as a barrier but I would need to use the perimeter of the circle. Also is there a way you can make an actual image a barrier? I am new at this but I know from reading up that making a rounded wall is pretty tough. I am going to use this wall to make a ball bounce or "roll" around it. Below is a picture of what I am trying to do. The black dot is the ball.
View 3 RepliesUsually i know you would name each dupicalted movieclip sumthing like "movieclipname"+nextnumber But i was in this case hoping i could name em all "bullet" for the simplicity of hittesting using bullet1.duplicateMovieClip("bullet1", this.getNextHighestDepth(), {_x:bx, _y:by, xs:Xmov, ys:Ymov});
to duplicate
and
if(this.hitTest(_parent.bullet1)){ // is an onEnterFrame
trace("wuuuuuuuuuu");
to c if anything is happening
nothing however happens, i am not ceeing the trace message.. Can i not have many movieclips named the same, or is there somethign else i need to consider
I am designing a flash game and I am having a bit of trouble with the Actionscripting, I wondered if you might be able to help me? I will try and explain how the game should function and I attach a JPG that shows the rough layout as well, hopefully from that you may be kind enough to point me in the right direction.
How it should function The idea is you have a glass that you control, left and right keyboard arrows control left and right movements and it only moves on the _x axis and the _y axis always stays at it's current value, this works fine and I have managed to add actionscript to the glass movieclip to do this, the movement also has gravity and friction which means the glass slides on a little even when you move to go the other way.
Using the Glass you need to collect falling object movieclips, there are two types, good and bad. When you catch the good it adds to your score and when you catch the bad it deducts from your score.
The falling objects need to be random and I have successfully managed to get 1 movieclip to fall by using actionscript code and also I have managed to set the _x position as random each time , the actionscript to do this has been applied to the falling object.

I'm trying to hitTest two duplicate movies clips. One is a bullet and the other is an enemy. I have them properly duplicating, but I cannot figure out how to detect a collision between the two. I've trying everything I can think of, and so far I've only been able to get the hitTest working between the original enemy and the bullet duplicates.Here is the code for duplicating the enemy:
Code:
bb++;
duplicateMovieClip(_root.target, "t"+bb, bb);

I'm creating a platform game, and I have those boxes which needs hitTests on all sides - including the bottom.I want my hit areas to have the same instance names. With that I mean, that I want only one instance name for all the bottom hits, one instance name for alle right hits - and so on. If it's possible. 'Cause else there will be so much actionScript code to write.I've been trying to simply make a normal hitTest on for example hitGround, and then place two movieclips with the instance name hitGround, but the hitTest function only works on the last added movieclip with that instance name.I have also been trying to look up some for each in-arrays, but I don't really get the meaning of how to use them.
View 2 RepliesCode:
if(_root.selmovie.hitTest(this._parent)){
_root.hit.text="it worked";
}
Why doesnt this work? I want to avoid naming all of the movieclips that this hittest is to apply to but this._parent isnt working...
I've got some flash 2.0 code that is supposed to add 100 points after a hitTest.
Code:
function onEnterFrame(){
connectA();
var strandID:Number
function connectA(){
for (var i = 0; i < 100; i++) {
if (this.hitTest(_root["A_" + i])) {
this.strandID = i;
_root.total = _root.total + 100;
}}
The problem is that it adds 100 points 70 times per second (the frame rate). It's supposed to add 100 points and stop. Here's a little more info: the hitTest makes two movie clips move across the screen together. Maybe because they're constantly hitting as they move, I don't know.
i searched everywhere, i was not able to find a solutionmy xml menu implementation use a "main" Menu class. This class parse the xml file and create an aeeay of MenuItem class.MenuItem costructor is (stripped down version) something like this:Code:function MenuItem(name: String, url: String, parent_mc: MovieClip)parent_mc is a reference to the "container" MovieClip for Items (generally an emptymovieclip made by Menu class)
View 3 RepliesDoes anyone know how to use hitTest with two movieclips so that it would detectthe collision of the visible part of the MC, not the **** bounding box???
View 2 RepliesI have 2 Movieclips, box and car, and I want them to bounce backwards 10 pixels when they hit. I have a little understanding of hit test but do not know how to make something happen when hit test occurs. And it would be great if you could make the movieclips "move" back 10 pixels instead of automatically jumping 10 pixels back.

NOTE: The following text is my problem and observations, if you afraid to read it all, my problem is easily guessable within the code go ahead and crack at it without my explanation :-p I'm having some trouble with using hitTest(); with movieclips within arrays. I wanted to build a function that checks the hitTest of Movieclips in arrays because the array is dynamic and it would run more efficient and faster this way.
As you may notice it doesn't check just the movieClip in the array, but a movieclip 2 scopes within it. I feel that this is my problem. I noticed in my debugger that that mc doesn't show up, but i put an onLoad event on it to trace its existence when loaded and it shows up fine. I wonder what I'm doing wrong.
I have a 9 frames image of a character.In other language generally i used to make character animation by looping the array consisting of different frames and drawing each frame when pressing key.What i want to do is when i press left or right key, i want to draw each frame that makes character movement and update x coordinates of frames, and it will appear as character is moving.
View 4 RepliesDoes anyone know the regular expression to test if a single string character has both upper and lower case character?
eg. All A-Z and a-z.
i was wondering if any of you out there could tell me how it is possible to make a movieclip of a character and when the character is dragged about the screen by the curser, how do you make the characters arms and legs swing about in a realistic fashion.
View 2 Repliesi just would like to know how to create an "hitTest" script inside a movieclip that is actually part of that hitTest code?I mean... I have mc A, and mc B. and the current hitTest code im using (that is on the timeline) makes mc A, destroy mc B when collide with it... but there are many mc B on the stage (with the same instance name) so, when mc A collide with one mc B, it destroys ALL mc's B... but i want it to destroy only the mc B that he collides, not all the others... maybe an hitTest script inside a movieclip B would work (somethig like "if MC A hitTest ME = i die" (not all the others)).
View 1 RepliesI would like my character to move as if he was drunk I am unsure how to do that I am using the keyboard for his movement. I also have a character that moves at random I would like the drunk moving character to be able to catch this character and play a scene from within the drunk characters movie clip but I want this character to try and escape the idea is the drunk character gets points for how long he is able to hang on to this character

I m trying to make sense of how to load a swf into a parent MovieClip and allow them to communicate.I ve attached two zip files � one which works fine and the other doesn�t. Unfortunately (for me), the one which doesn�t work is closer to my current project.I need to load movieclips into the parent movieclip. The parent movieclip has controls which rely on values parsed from the child movieclip.In the parent movieclips I wait until the loading is complete and so the values should be passed. However, the values aren�t passed unless I use a button (or timer), to pass the values (see the working exampes).The code which doesn�t work is:
Parent movieclip:
ActionScript Code:
stop();
var myLoader:Loader = new Loader();[code].............
I have two SWF-Movies. One is exported into eht other as Child.Can I instance the Objects of the two libraries in all places, where ActionScript is possible? (In Keyframes of the MovieClips and in external class definitions.)
View 3 RepliesLooking for a way to stop all movieclips both are the stage and that are children of the ones on the stage.
I toyed with looping thru stage's children so I can first target clips on the stage. But I am getting error.
for (var i:int = 0; i < this.numChildren; i++) if (this.getChildAt(i) is MovieClip)
{
this.getChildAt(i).stop
}}
I have created 25 MovieClips on the stage in 5 X 5 matrix.How can I treat 5 movieclips in each row as a group of movieclips so that I can apply same set action to them?(Similar to RadioButton functionality. )
View 6 RepliesPrinting an MC is easy enough. But I am having trouble printing an MC which has multiple MCs inside of it. They just don't get printed.
I am trying to avoid printAsBitmap.
I want to test mc animations without having to hit F12 to see if they work correctly. For instance, if I have an animation movieclip and then I make another movieclip and drop that aforementioned movieclip within, and animate [via the timeline or library preview] I'm unable to see on-the-fly what my animation looks like... it only shows the top most nest, unless I F12 it.
So if I have a character blinking eyes (one movieclip) and then I create another movie clip of the face, and put that aforementioned movieclip within, the preview animation within the library does not show how it'll be viewed when F12'n it.,,,, it'd be great to see your animations on the fly.
why does a MC inside another MC have different _x and _y values than the main timeline?What I am trying to do right now is animate a MC inside another MC then get the main MC holding everything to move where that new MC ended animating at (it's part of a game I'm making.)
I know it's confusing but Flash shows the cursors current X and Y in the info panel, which is the same as the main timeline. Yet inside the movieclip, an x of 76 and a y of 277 on the timeline is -195 and -30.9 (respectively) inside the MC.How do I fix it so I can get the _x and _y values to match up so I can tell the main MC to reposition itself to the new X and Y (of the inside MC)
I have a movieclip called mapWindow, inside mapWindow are dynamically created movieclips of various sizes. The movieclips inside the mapWindow don't take up the entire space of the mapWindow and thus I use a startDrag on the mapWindow upon detection of a mouse press. The problem is, I don't want the start drag to start if the mouse is detected over any of the child movieclips inside mapWindow.
I have a few ideas of how to proceed, but I'm not sure how to reference all child movieclips of a particular movieclip - or something along those lines.
It would be easy to use the hittest function if I knew how to reference all the movieclips I need to, but alas...
I have a movie clip called frog who moves along the screen, I want him to jump when he hits any other movie clips. I can make him do so with the code below, the problem is that if I write the same function for the other movie clips it doesnt work, it still works on the first one but none others. I have tried attaching an onCilpEvent on both the frog and on all the other movie cilps so no avail.
function hitBaby(){
if(_root.babyWord.hitTest(_root.frog)){
_root.frog.gotoAndPlay("frogB");}else{ _root.frog.gotoAndPlay("frogA");}
