ActionScript 2.0 :: Flash8 Multiple Variables Controlled By Key Presses
Jun 26, 2009
I am making a game using AS2, in which the user controls the character with WASD. I am making a tutorial level in which the level only advances past the first frame after the user has pressed W, A, S, and D. The level is a single frame in which there is a movieclip that has all the enemies. I made an offscreen button in the movieclip which has the code
Code:
on(keyPress "w"){
var w:Boolean = true;
}
[Code].....
When I run it, nothing happens and it stays on the first frame of the movieclip. No errors are shown in the output panel.

Actionscript Code:
// button pressesupKey = 38;downKey = 40;leftKey = 37;rightKey = 39;focusKey = 65;attack1Key = 83;attack2Key = 68;bombKey = 81;autoAttack1Key = 87;autoAttack2Key
[Code].....
Rather than affecting one variable, one key press makes all the others true as well

is there a command in flash that takes multiple key presses? For example if the user presses a then b the frame will advance. Note, I dont want them to have to be held at the same time.

I have, lets say an arrow, it points up when you press w, left when a is pressed, down when s is pressed, and right when d is pressed. This is done through animations, and simple gotoAndStop commands. Anyway, Lets say that I want it to point North-east when I press D+W. whats the easiest way I can use to get it to detect Multiple key-presses. If any more explanation is needed I can easily explain further.

I just want to know if there is a way to assign multiple variables, and if there is a way to check multiple variables.
I want to be able to assign variables to false and then check if all the variables are false.

just getting the grip around the variables and im experimenting. This is what i have as a variable
money = 1000;
health = 100;
Then i have the dynamic textbox that shows them. works great, and i also have various effect that makes the two go up and down. Here's the problem, or more, how i would like to expand the concept but is stuck on. Right now both variables can go as high and low as possible (of course). Is there something i can add in that script that makes so the money variable can't go below 0. Also is there something i can add so that the Health can't go ABOVE say 500 and when health reaches zero (or a negative) this triggers _root.gotoAndPlay("gameover"); you get what im trying to achive here

Is it possible to put variables in an array?
For example:
Code:
var positions:Array = new Array(Stage.width / 2, Stage.height / 2);
When the above code is executed, the values "Stage.width / 2" and "Stage.height / 2" are replaced with the number values and the array becomes, for example [500, 400].And when I call the array positions[0], instead of getting the value of the Stage.width / 2 (considering the stage has been resized), I get the static value of 500.What can I do to get the value of Stage.width / 2 ?

My variable from the root timeline is not being sent to say a timeline inside a moveclip. This is basically my code:
On root timeline:
Code:
stop();
showred = false;
Inside movieclip instance 'infobox' on timeline:
Code:
stop();
if (showred == false){
play();
}
the showred variable inside the 'infobox' movieclip is not detecting that I set 'showred' to false on the main timeline.

what is wrong with this syntax
_root.range+towerID = 75;
i want flash to read the variable as _root.range2 = 75. this is for each tower so _root.range2 -= 10 reduces tower 2's range by 10 (this is done on a different frame thus the _root. is needed)(towerID is calculated above)

Ive got a script lined up:
Code:
onEnterFrame = function(){
if(aktiverPublisering == "true"){
function avpubliser(){
[code]....
Ive checked if "aktiverPublisering" traces "true", and it does (it declares "true" through a button)... So, here's the weird part...i cant get a trace inside the IF statement i.e. its not working...

So I have a laser game I'm working on and I have a setInterval set up for when the laser button is pressed that it shows the laser for a little bit before removing the incoming asteroid and hiding the laser. I have a four of these buttons each with different colored lasers. So I thought it would be easy to pass the movie clip in through the function, cause I've done that with regular functions. Problem is, I don't know how to do that with a setInterval function. The way I have it set up shows the lasers then crashes and just shows a blank screen. Here is a bit of my code:
Code:
function laserMultiFire(laser:MovieClip) {
if(astroid == true){
_root[laser + "L"]._visible = true;
[code]....
The btnMulti is one of the buttons, and there are three movie clips that represent the lasers, the ones I'm trying to show and hide here are mcLaserMulti, mcLaserMultiL, and mcLaserMultiR.

I want to reference clip with some variable name because i want to change dynamicaly target clip. Example:
myMC="testClip";
myMC.my_txt="some text";//this doesn't work
//but this works
eval(myMC).my_txt="some text";
I guess eval() is not right thing to do.

I've read on the net that actionscripting from the action layer will result in a more readable file once published, as apposed to attaching onClipEvent functions which slow down readability.
For this reason I am trying to add variables to a MovieClip I have on the stage with an Instance Name of Player. However I wish to assign the MovieClip variables from the actions layer using the MovieClips Instance Name.

I'm trying to import some variables set up in a .txt file. However the variables that I would like to behave like numbers are not doing so.
I have a variable in the text file called "&middleimg=1" when I pull this in and say do the following:
Code:
var numvar:Number=0;
numvar = _root.myvars.middleimg+1;
I get "11" rather then "2" as the result. I tried setting up my text file as such: "&middleimg:Number=1" but get an "undefined" result. Is there anyway to get imported variables to behave like a number instead of a string?

I am attempting to search multiple arrays (over 300) for a specific value which will then determine if that question is to be loaded. I have used these over the years as the quizzes simply loaded questions randomly. Now I am appempting to move this into a computer adaptive test format. I have most everything worked out except for this part which is the key to the project.
What I have is 300+ arrays like the ones below. Once a student answers a question either correctly or incorrectly a difcal value is assigned. It is that value I need to search for to determine which question to load.
For example if the student answered a question incorrectly and the difcal was calculated as -4.03 (difcal values are always in array element[0]) I would need to search the all arrays to find that value and then load that array into the question function.
Code:
var q1:Array = new Array();
q1[0] = -4.03;
q1[1] = 0.57;

I have 10 sound files in an array.I am wanting to preload all of them and update a counter once each one loads sucessfully.So when song 2 for instance finishes loading then the counter would be at 2,then 3,etc....I think maybe I need to use a while loop to hook each sound into a load event?

Let's say I have ten widgets that have ten items that need to be turned off. What am I doing wrong here?
Code:
for(i=1;i<=10;i++){
var tempWidget = ["widget0" + i];
trace(tempWidget);
tempWidget.item._visible=false;
}
The trace returns the correct value yet the loop doesn't turn the ten items off. Why?

I'll try to make my question pretty short and simple.
[Code]...
So what I'm trying to do is make the character stop when it runs into something. I can do that, but it will only work for one "block" movieclip I put on the stage. What can I do to make this work for multiple "blocks"?

I got a little problem on a simple code: There are 5 Mcs on stage named Key1 to Key5. I got a listener on keyboard that put the mc alpha to 40 if you press the key of the mc (1 - 5), and turn the alpha to 100 if key isn't pressed
Code:
var keyListener:Object = new Object();
keyListener.onKeyDown = function() {
if (Key.isDown(49))key1._alpha=40;
[Code]....
The problem is that it works perfectly if you press a key at time, but it don't work if you press the 5 keys simultaneously , (make strange things :'1' to '4' pressed works, but '3' to '5' make the 5th mc as un-pressed) Is there a fine way to test if the 3 simultaneous keys (char '3' to '5') are pressed ?

I have been trying to get this working right for days and it is driving me crazy. It should be very easy, so I'm not sure what I'm missing.
I'm loading in an external text file, which is fine, but the problem is with how it is displaying.
It should look like the attached word file. But when I paste it in a text file it gets messed up. A sample of that is attached as well. I have tried making it look the same in the notepad file, but that doesn't come out right in the flash.
I have tried everything, importing as html, using xml files, copying the text into different programs and then into the text file.

I've found out that when publishing with Flash 8 my previous MX's working fla files, I get multiple errors.I've had a look at the Export publishing settings and I think they're all correct: - Exporting version: 8- AS Version: 1.0So, I guess it must be a silly thing I'm doing wrong but after a long while I haven't been able to know what's wrong. Perhaps AS compatibility is not that accurate?The most common error I get is:"A ')' or ',' was expected" or"An unexpected '}' was found"(I'm using Spanish Flash 8, so I don't know if this is the exact message you're given in English Flash 8) The 'supposed to be wrong' code seems to be in lines like[AS].posicion = posicion+eval("abc" add i)+gap;abc=eval("_parent._parent.abc" add _parent.n)[/AS]and I even get a "Declaration must be inside a on/onClipEvent controller" here:[AS]._xscale=abc*1.4;[/AS] ...while ALL of this code worked perfectly in Flash MX, I get up to 104 errors in Flash 8
