So I'm doing this project for school and all, and I'm trying to do a htitest on an object. For some reason, it doesn't work. So I tried writing out my own method... Which halff worked, but wasn't as exact as it should've been.
Heres my code (Though I'm pretty sure somethings wrong with my MC, so i'll upload the main .fla file)
Code:
right = true;
left = false;
itemX;
itemY;

I have this code so that when a spaceship goes through a blackhole it plays the spaceships moveiclip. This works fine on the first part of the code when the user just clicks the start button.However, i have put in a difficulty setting and when you change the difficulty setting the hittest doesn't work anymoreand there are no error messages. I have tried putting the blackHoles array in the difficulty function but nothing changes and i didn't really think this would make a difference as the easy function is already using the blackHoles array outside the difficulty function.
View 7 RepliesI have about 100 movieclips that scroll across the stage from out of bounds. They are supposed to hit another movieclip both in bounds and out of bounds, but it seems like Flash only detects the hittest when it happens within the frame.
if(_root.sceneclip.reef1.hitTest(this._x+300, this._y+350, true) ){
I have two pieces of code, that won't work together.First: this makes a hitTest on an mc to make it run on rollover:
Code:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (this.hitTest(_root._xmouse, _root._ymouse, true)) {
if (this._currentframe<this._totalframes) {
nextFrame();
[Code]...
Each work seperately, but they won't together. How do I get around this?
I wonder is anyone can look at this code and tell me why calling the removeSelectedChild works when called from the same document, but returns the following error when called from the child document/component.
"ArgumentError: Error #2025: The supplied DisplayObject must be a child of the caller."

This movie is supposed to start on a random frame, but the code seems to get ignored in Firefox. I also have some weird behavior when i test it locally, but it works fine in IE8, Safari, and Chrome: [URL]
Here is the code:
i = Math.floor(Math.random()*3385);
gotoAndPlay(i);
//trace("Current Frame: "+this._currentframe);

I am using the below package to play back a wav file. In my main file I create several of these objects, put them in an array, and then try to call
playBack().
Unfortunately it doesn't work. However, I can call playBack() from within the object, for example by having this object create a button.
Code:
package
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.net.URLLoader;

I've got on main timeline (on frame 10) buttons, when I click one of them it goes to its currentLabel"". On curerntLabel at frame20 "racerButton" where I've got some tweening. At currentLabel "boardButton" at frame30 I load external swf. The problem I've got is when I press any button everything works fine. But when I first press button "boardButton" at frame30 the ext.swf shows up fine, but when next I click the button "racerButton" at frame20 the tweening doesn't work there and it gives me error

I have a drag and drop game. You listen to a sound for exampl "bread" You proceed to drag that mc to a box. If it is the right object I want to remove that mc and splice the array so it doesn't choose that object anymore. However I have notices two things.
When I splice(0) a specific element - then nothing works. When I splice the cuurent indexed element ie: the last element to get right - it doesn't actually remove it from the array. I have highlighted the key code parts.

how I use swtich with hitTest or the correct way to tell the program the path to drop the object in its target.
I decided to try to use setInterval for myanimation, which is just a mouse trail.However, I'm trying to get teh mouse trail to be a dynamic mask.In my previous swf this was achieved by using a holder mc with the animation inside and then using this as the mask. But this time I just canpt seem to hit on the right way to get it to work. The code I am using for the mouse trail is:
Code:
var i:Number = 0;
var myInt:Number;
var t:MovieClip;[code].....
in the function, but now the trail doesn't resize and the mask still doesn't work.
I 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 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 Repliesso my game's code is as follows:
Code:
//The Austin Weisgrau (El Nacho)
//Blob Game, to go with the video so it will get like the .3 mor it needs not to be blammed
[Code]....
the character instance is Blob and the background instance is Background. i can't get the hitTest to work with either of those two things in the /* */ and i need to no how i can
For some reason I cannot get my hitTest to work on an mc within an mc within an mc...which is assigned to a variable...

I was trying to make it so you had to hold up this ball, and if it touched the block near the bottom of the screen, it would go to the first keyframe. (The menu.) So, I labeled the ball, "ball", and the block, "block". Then, I added this code to the block:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (ball.hitTest(block)){
gotoAndPlay(1)[code]....
And tested it out. To my dismay, it didn't work at all. I've spent about 30 minutes testing other ways, and I cant seem to make it work.
import flash.display.BitmapData;
import flash.geom.Point;
//
var BitmapA:BitmapData = new BitmapData(550, 400, true, 0x00);
[code]....
This is using the bitmapdata.hittest way to check whether the one bitmap is overlapping the other. Throug pixel-to-pixel detection.But I'm having trouble understanding this line:
Code:
if (BitmapA.hitTest(destPoint, 255, BitmapB, currPoint, 255))
I know that destPoint is the topleft point from which it is determining all opaque pixels. No value is given to destPoint so basically it is checking from 0,0. Having determined all opaque pixels from that bitmap it should compare them with the opaque pixels of the other bitmap. But why does currPoint use the topleft coordinate of its movieclip? Couldn't it just as well use 0,0 too? I mean when determining the opaque pixels of bitmap two it might as well start checking for those from 0,0 as the topleft position as well?
i am making a game where a ninja runs through a course, every thing is running smoothly. EXCEPT hittest will not work, hittest never works on ANY of my projects. I know im doing it right, because ive even tried copying and pasting working ones. Look at the attached fla file to see what im talking about.is it my computer that wont let it work, because the exact codes worked for all of the people on youtube that used it.

I'm having a problem with my dragOver function.The point of my project is that can drag the items that are on the table to the little bag (this is a button) on the left bottom of the screen.The thing is that the dragging works but when I perform a hitTest the item is supposed to dissapear, but it doesn't....
View 3 RepliesI have a button object that I need to scale to align with the variable width of an array of images.However, when I set the width in code, the button does not actually become that width. Tracing out the width gives me the correct value, but on screen.. it's off.
I've proved it to myself by scaling the same button object manually in the properties pane and visually comparing. Both of the buttons below have a width of 410.
Code:
navigatorDown_btn.width = 410;
navigatorDown_btn.x = (stage.stageWidth/2)-(navigatorDown_btn.width/2);
trace(navigatorDown_btn.width); // output: 410
I am having trouble getting a hitTest to work. My two MCs are lines, one horizontal, one slanted. When the horizontal line gets within the "bounding box" of the slanted line the hitTest is true, but it's not touching the slanted line yet. I saw that the shapeFlag property comes into play here, but only when using coordinates... I'm not sure how to apply it to these two lines. I want the hitTest to be true only when the lines actually touch. I have attached a simple FLA of the problem.
View 1 RepliesLets say that I got movieclips A,B,C,D in my scene and E,F which only come into scene when A hitTest B and C hitTest D.I was able to make the A+B and C+D hitTest functioning properly. But when E,F came into the scene, I tried to make E to hitTest F to get something else function but they won't work.# note that there is some short animation before E & F come into scene.I am pretty sure all the instance names are named properly.
View 5 RepliesI've been trying to write a hittest that will work for rounded walls on my RPG. But I've been epic phailing.
Heres my code:
onClipEvent(load){speed=10;
}onClipEvent(enterFrame){if(Key.isDown(Key.UP)){this._y-=speed;this.gotoAndStop(5);
}if(Key.isDown(Key.DOWN)){this._y+=speed;
this.gotoAndStop(6);}
if(Key.isDo wn(Key.RIGHT)){this._x+=speed;this.gotoAndStop(7);
}if(Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)){this._x-=speed;this.gotoAndStop(8);}
for some reason the hitTest I have setup in the attached file seems to work in relation with the blue box's that surround objects and not with the actually objects. Anyways I'm pretty sure that it has to do with the border.

I'm trying to get the id3 information from an mp3 being streamed from FMS.I followed the samples I found online and am using the following client-[code]As a note the above code works fine to play the actual file (substituting mp3: for id3:, of course) it just doesn't seem to trigger the onID3 method (I've tried onId3 which is what the samples use).I am also able to view the id3 information from windows explorer and other external readers.The platform I'm ultimately targeting is Flash Lite 3.1 AS2, but I've tried various configurations and haven't had any success.
