How do I set up something so it only loads once after HitTest is verified?
like if I have
onEnterFrame = function(){
if(user.hitTest(path.bluesquare)){loadpet(brown_mouse);}
}
how do I keep it from loading the mouse 12 times per second?
When I created the loadpet(); function, it worked fine outside onEnterFrame, but I can't get the hitTest command to work without an EnterFrame.
Let me sum up the game the best I can real quick and then get to the problem. I cannot upload any code because I am under contract. I also know the code is working 100% correct. The game I am working on will have "X" number of large images. The "X" images will then be broken down into smaller images. I have around 3,000 images, all in the Flash Library, classes are named correctly, the files are named and sized correctly, etc. The game works perfectly on images 1-66. When I get to image number 67, the game SWF starts flickering from scene 1 to scene 2 and then back to scene 1 for a non-stop loop. No matter what image I use for #67, the swf flickers. My FLA is around 300MB and my SWF is 102MB.
why adding a 67th image would make the SWF freak out? Could it be some type of file size issue, graphics card issue, virus, etc? I've tried it on multiple computers both PC and MAC.
I have a contact field...is there anyway that I can have the eMail input field be verified when the send button is released?
View 3 RepliesEverything is embedded in an HTML site. The HTML loads a preloader that then loads the actual flash movie. Inside this movie I created a few buttons, inside a scroll bar movie clip. I want the buttons to load a whole new movie inside the same html. The code I'm using in the button is simply:
on(release) {
loadMovie("new_movie.swf", 0);
}
The problem is that it works beautifully in the Flash movie tester but doesn't do anything when tested inside the browser, embedded in the HTML. I think the problem is that the HTML embeds as an object the first movie, the preloader for the menu movie, not the menu movie itself.
have this flash xml menu that loads external swf files like this:
Code:
<item title="ABOUT"content_path="http://mysite.com/folder1/folder2/folder3/about.swf"target=""mouse_rollover_color="0xFFFFFF" mouse_rollout_color="0xDDDDDD" />
and I have this swf file with cms that I'd like for this menu to load. Currently the swf file load external text using this code:
Code:
if (contenturl1 ne "") {
loadVariablesNum(contenturl1 + "/" + userid + "/content.txt", 0);[code].....
but when the xml menu loads this swf file its structure loads but not its data.I tried using :
Code:
this._lockroot = true;
in the loading swf main time line but it did not work.I should also mention that the dynamic data that loads onto the swf that is to be loaded by the menu, resides not in it main time line but 4 movie clips deep .I don't know if that makes a difference or not.
i 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)).

I have an animated logo swf file that loads and runs once on the home page every time the page loads. The logo has been updated to appear in three different colour schemes. I want one scheme to load and when the page is refreshed or revisited, one of the other colour schemes to load in its place. They can appear in any random order, just a different one to the one that played before reloading.Can someone point me to an answer or tell me how to do it? I have found a way in JavaScript but this only works on plain images, not swf files.
View 6 Repliesthe best way to do it but i have a preloader the loads an external swf that loads 2 external swf files. one on layer o and the other 1.it seems to load the swf on layer 1 twice.url...if i run the swf that loads the 2 external swf files by it's self and the same problem happens.mouse over the navagation button and then mouse over the close button and follow the animation down to were it turns back into the navagation button. sometimes the close stays up.if i run the swf file that just contains the navagation it dosen't happen.
View 2 RepliesI 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");}

View 5 RepliesI am trying to create a game. My game is birds eye view game and I am trying to get it so my character (instance name hero_mc )can't pass through the buildings(instance name block_mc). I have been looking at tutorials on the web and most of them cover it so that a text appears if you hit the object whereas I want it so my character can't pass through or well is "push back", the one tutorial I found doesn't want to work for me, but it's not giving me any errors so I really don't know what is wrong with it.
Actionscript Code:
hero_mc.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, enter_frame); function enter_frame(event:Event):void{if (hero_mc.hitTestObject(block_mc)) { trace("hero _mc is next to block_mc") } else { hero_mc.y += 10 hero_mc.x += 10 } }
My character still passes through the block objects.
I have this thing where orbs are supposed to stick together, so I put them all in an arrayand told them to stick together when they encounter another member of that array.However, they only stick in groups of up to four, and then the orbs begin to overlap and such.
View 2 RepliesI am working on a game that involves a play head (called playHead) moving along the screen and when it encounters various movie clips it triggers a sound to be played. It is all going well except that the sound seems to want to play more than once, so there is a staggered wierd sound. Is is possible to make the sound only play once and also it needs to play until the the sound has finished. (the sounds are all very short).Here is the code:
onClipEvent(enterFrame){ if (this.hitTest(_root.playHead)){ _root.sound15.stop(); _root.sound15.attachSound("over"); _root.sound15.start(); } }
I have a playhead that moves across the screen and when it hitTests a movie clip it plays a sound. all is working fine except that it will only work the first time it is played. The playhead is controlled by a button. I am working in Actionscrpt2. Here is the code on the movieclip:
onClipEvent(enterFrame)[code]....
In the begining I was having trouble because the hitTest was playing the sound over and over but the above code sorted that out. I think that the new problem was created by fixing the old one.
These codes are in the draggable MC: fish1_drag this is my code:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) { this.onPress = function() { startDrag(this); };
_root.UI1_mc.UI1_mc2.inv_mc.ISpace1.onEnterFrame = function() { if (this.hitTest(fish1_drag)) { stopDrag(); } else { } };}
I keep jumbling it up so that one thing works but the other doesnt. But basicly I need it so that when I drag fish1_drag (instance name) over ISpace1 (which is within many MCs : _root.UI1_mc.UI1_mc2.inv_mc.ISpace1 but opens up so you can drag it over it) for it the drop on the ISpace1.
I have another MC in the library and il get that the attach to the ISpace1 but what im finding difficult is just being able to drag the fish1_drag over the ISpace1 and releasing.
Here is some other reandom code that I have in a comment on my AC panel:
/*
this.onRelease = function() { stopDrag(); _root.UI1_mc.UI1_mc2.inv_mc.ISpace1.attachMovie("fish1_mc","attached1 ",this.getNextHighestDepth()); _root.invCount += 1; updateAfterEvent(); // I probly dont need this updateAfterEvent. but its there anyway. };

View 3 RepliesI'm trying to make it so that when a movieclip (box) touches another movieclip (exit), it goes to frame 2.I've made it so that (box) moves with the arrow keys and doesn't go pat the barriers (boulders) using this:
x.onEnterFrame = function()
if (Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)) {box._x += 5;}
if (Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)) {box._x -= 5;}

_root["zombie"+i].onEnterFrame = function() {

trace("hit!");

This does not work, it traces hit! even if none of the movieclips are touching. dont know how else I can do this.

Im making a simple game with destructable terrain. Therefore i use a bitmap for the ground and a movieClip for the player. When the ground is a bitmap i cant use regular hitTestPoint because of the bitmaps transparent pixels. So i looking i the livedocs for the bitmapData.hitTest but i rly dont understand all the parameters.So my question is. How can i reproduce this with bitmapData.hitTest?
ActionScript Code:
if(ground.hitTestPoint(player.x, player.y, true)) {
//actions
[code]....
when i make this script:
onEnterFrame = function(){
if(ss.hitTest(_root.c2)){
_root.ss._x = -49.4;
}
}
it only does go to cords -49.4 once, after ss have hit c2 once it doesn't react when it hits c2 again!
I have this very simple .fla file and you use the keys to move the bus around. As it detects the hittests with the other movie clips on the stage it goes to and plays a frame on that mc's movieclip. It all works fine but i dont want the hittest to repeat after it has done it once(on each movie clip) so that as you drive the bus around you reveal the photo. [URL]
View 1 RepliesMy problem now is that i got two classes and one document class (document class just adds the two other classes to the stage).I want to have the two classes being able to hitTest with oneanother My two classes creates a number of randomly moving objects to be placed on stage (the two classes are identical, except for different name).Not sure if i go in the right direction for hittest at this point, but when i have tried to hittest one object with the other object, i just get "access of undefined property error". So i'm guessing i have problems referencing between the classes somehow.
