ActionScript 2.0 :: Hittesting Movieclip With Movement Inside It
May 11, 2010
I'm making a game where your character must touch rings (big ovals) that are moving up and down with a motion tween (with easing). I attach these movies and push them into an array. For the hittesting, nothing is accurate. Since a movieclip inside the ring movieclip is moving up and down, the boundary box is much bigger than it should be when hittesting. If I use the x/y method, it triggers the hittest when my character is in line with the reference point. It should trigger when the middle of the character hits around the middle of the ring.

I am trying to make a basic game, and have read all about bitmaps, but they have only confused me, so I am trying to succeed with a more flawed, but basic approach. I couldn't find any comprehensible tutorials on this, so I've tried it on my own, but it doesn't work.Basically I have my character in a movie clip connected to a class, and it is spawned when the movie starts, just like the "wall" class here. It populates the stage with a line of boxes, but my problem is that the hittesting only works on the first one.[code]

I thought maybe I had to use localToGlobal, but they are on the same layer, so it can't be that. It works on the root frame, just not in the movieclip.

I am currently working on a Flash application in which I have several vertical bars that go across the window, and when one of the bars is clicked on, the others move to either the left or the right to create space to the right of the selected bar for a large image.[URL].. I have already written enough of the script to get the bars to move to where they should be when they are clicked on, but they do it instantly--there is no show of movement between point 1 and point 2 (this being the starting and ending x coordinates for each movieclip).
If you're wondering about any of my number values, they are the way they are because the document is 800 wide, it has 5 vertical bars within it, each of them 30 wide, and the bars are 5 pixels apart when placed next to each other. Anyways, here's the script I am currently working with:
[Code]...
With this code, all the speed variable does is determine the length of the pause before the bar goes from its original x coordinate to its final x coordinate. I have tried to replace the line that reads "clip3_mc._x += speed;" with several variations ("clip3_mc._x ++;" , "clip_mc._x = clip_mc._x + 15"), but I don't think that's the issue.

I have a question regarding hittest object in actionscript 3. When using events, you can check what the current target is by using e.target or e.currenttarget. I was wondering how this achievable by hittesting?since hittests are not a function.
I need to retrieve info about the hittested object.Here is an example to make it more clear:
ActionScript Code:
if(movieclip1.hitTestObject(movieclip2)){
textfield.text = "this is information selected by the hittest: " + channel[e.target.name].item;
}
I'm working on a project and using hittest to navigate. So it's pretty important haha.

I have a movieclip named Map linked to a class named Map. Inside of the movieclip I have 3 instances of a movieClip hitbox. they are named block0, block1, block2. What I'm trying to do is add them to an array using a for loop. Then in my player class I use another for loop to hitTest against the array. What I'm getting tho is this error:
Code:
TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert []@2393159 to flash.display.DisplayObject.
at xxx::Player/loop()[Player.as:54] The code from Player.as that the error refers to is here:

I created a .PNG in Photoshop (see attachment) -- now when I make this into a movieclip the bounding box covers the entire area so the hittest activates as soon as my helicopter flies into the bounding box.I looked at adobe's "help" they recommended this code (by the way, I'm using Flash 8):
my_mc.hitTest(x, y, shapeFlag )
my_mc.hitTest(target)
The way I interpreted the code was like this:
onClipEvent(enterFrame){
heli.hitTest(248.1, -38, shapeFlag)
}
I read somewhere that you only use one of the two, and the shapeFlag one is the one to use.The above code I placed into the helicopter MC (named heli) - I set the x & y to where the PNG is.The PNG moves towards the helicopter, so I'm not sure if that makes a difference.I just want that if the helicopter runs into the ceiling or floor, the level resets.However my current actions activate as soon as it hits the bounding box.This is my code in the PNG:
onClipEvent(enterFrame){
this._x -= _root.levelSpeed;
}[code]....
I've tried a lot of things, and nothing seems to be working.

I've got a game where I need the enemys to hitTest with each other, I'm going to have copys of 3 types of enemys on the stage, instead of giving them all an instance name is it possible to hittest from the libary because I've given them instance names in the library of "enemya" "enemyb" "enemyc"
The code I have got didn't work which was -
Code:
onClipEvent(enterFrame){
if(this.hitTest(_root.enemyc)){
trace("true")
}

I have made a movieclip and gave the frame this actionscript:
------------------------------------------------------------
var keyListener:Object = new Object();
keyListener.onKeyDown = function() {[code]........
it moves fine and stuff but i was wondering how can i restrict the area in which the movieclip can actually move ? my flash file is 550px X 400px and i want to make it so that it can only move in 300px X 200px of the file if you understand ?

I've attached a demo fla so you can see what I'm trying to do. Basically the big circle is a spaceship that will move to wherever you click. The small circle is a resource that the ship can collect, in this case it's called iron. When you click on the iron the ship moves to it and then the small circle disappears, and +1 is added to your inventory, creating the illusion that the ship has collected it. Problem is, after you collect the iron, you can't really move the ship anymore. It's stuck around the position where the iron was. How do I regain control of the ship after I collect the iron?

I have a background image that moves left and right, continuously giving a 360 Degrees appearance. My control buttons work fine but what I want to do is ease in to the movement. Here is a LINK to my demo. When you roll over the arrows is simply starts and stops. I'd like to ease the starts and stops
Right Arrow
Code:
on (rollOver) {
_root.theclip2.gotoAndPlay(_root.theclip2._currentframe);
} on (rollOut) {
_root.theclip2.stop();

I have a big movieclip in a movieclip (bigger then the stage) when i roll over different movieclips the big movieclip moves, right now it just keeps moving when i keep the mouse on the movieclip/ I would like the movieclip to stop moving when its edge is about to leave the screen. I have no idea how i should do this, and all the tutorials i've found explain how to keep and object in the stage (this one is a lot bigger then the stage)

Can anyone tell me how could I be able to move a movieClip in opposite direction of the _xmouse?That means when I move the mouse pointer to right side, my movieClip would move some distance to the left side. And when I move the mouse to the left ,the movieClip should also move to right.I have done something in the attached file but i dont want to continue the movieClip's movement when the mouse movement stops.

I know how to do motion guides, but now I also want to control this movieclip with actionscript code, so that I modify the x and y properties, but STILL restrict the position of the movieclip only to that motion guide. I see that once I modify the x or y properties, the movieclip jumps off the motion guide

I have a tile-based platformer game under work, and I'm stuck on a problem with hitTesting:
//check all character collisions with levelHolder
for(var i:int = 0; i < levelHolder.numChildren; i++)
{
[Code].....
The problem here is that hitBlock only hitTests one block at a time, and when I test this: If you lean on a wall (press right arrow key) and go downwards you can go through the floor.
I need to make it so that I can test on multiple blocks at a time.
And I did try to replace hitBlock with levelHolder[i], but it gave an error saying:
ReferenceError: Error #1069: Property 0 not found on flash.display.Sprite and there is no default value. at Main/enterFrame()
I'm guessing that comes from the level array where 0 = blank block / empty space.

At first I had all my sprites in an array and cycled through them to detect for collisions but now I am trying to put them in 1 big sprite and testing just that. I don't know if I am doing something wrong or this is to be expected but testing for 1 big sprite creates lag within the engine. Am I correct to assume that it's because I am constantly testing the pixels of the 1 sprite? When cycling through the sprites individually i never noticed this lag.

What I'm trying to do is hittest two irregularly shaped objects using their alphas and not the bounding box.
The code below hittests two objects named target 1 & target 2. This is not my code, but mine looks exactly alike, except target 1 & target 2 are replaced with my MC's. the thing is, I keep getting an error.At every function line, like the "public static function complexHitTestObject I get an error that says: Expecting right paren before left-bracket. I don't know what this error is caused by, because I can't really see why Flash wants another right paren.

im having a really frustrating problem. I have 6 movieclips on the stage, all acting as 'map areas', these are named area1_mc, area2_mc and so on.. I then have a car which i drive around the screen, this instance name is car_mc ... All i want to do is do a HitTest to determine if the car is on one of the 6 areas.. i have the following
[Code]...
The reason it is not working i think is it is expecting the car to be on ALL map areas in order for it to be "on map". For example if the car is in the middle of area1_mc, i get three traces. On map (refferign to it being on area1_mc) then two traces of 'off map', because it obviously isnt on area2_mc or area3_mc.

I am working on a game project and i have a question about movie clip movement using keyboard event. Basically I have a character on screen and it can move on the x axis using the left and right buttons. I am making my character move by changing the x value of the character movieclip but I find very it laggy and not smooth and if I am going point by point then it's too slow. Whats the best way to make the character move so that the transition will be smooth.

im busy with making a banner with a big movieclip and a small canvas. The idea is somewhat like on:
Code:
tfe.nl/vacatures/
I have added mouselisteners to 8 different movieclips for each side it should scroll to. But i have no idea how to make the movieclip move to the side when i roll over the right movieclip, when i roll over a movieclip on the side the big movieclip should keep moving untill the mouse is in the middle again or the movieclip has reached the side.

I'm having a problem with a little movement script I wrote for a MC I have. I believe it either has to do with variable scoping, or with a coordinate system problem. (If I change the xPos and yPos in the onClipEvent (load) to 0,0...then the MC starts in the middle of the field (MC) I'm trying to move it inside of.) Basically...the ActionScript you see below is a part of the "Player" MC...who is supposed to move around a "field" MC I have.
(I was assuming setting xPos and yPos to 0 would have the Player MC starting at the very top left of the entire screen...which instead it starts in the middle of the "field" MC.) Also - When I press the different arrow keys...the Player MC jumps around to different locations...but once at the new location the movement (in a single direction) works okay. I've attached the .swf.
onClipEvent (load) {
speed = 2;
xPos = 0;
yPos = 0;
this._x = xPos;
this._y = yPos;

I have a page with height of 2800px. On this page I place a menu up of the page. As I scroll the page down, the menu disappears ( it still stays up). What I need is the menu to remain on the level of the page, where I am just, while I am scrolling the page. Something like on the this website http:[url].... By the way it doesn't have to be menu, I mean any mc that I want it to be moving on that page like that.
