i want that a MC appears randomly on the stage but with the time...like 1 second, and then after 1 second, it randomly appears somewhere else on the stage (800x600).
View 6 RepliesI'm drawing with Flash's brush tool and the marks I make are appearing not just where I draw them, but also in the timeline or elsewhere on the stage. It goes away if I minimize and restore, but this is a big time-waster.
View 1 RepliesI am wondering how to make the MC "bonus" appear at random times onto the stage and stay until the MC has stopped playing or it has been clicked on. I.e
- after 5 seconds, "bonus" appears on stage.
- the 20 frames inside the MC play and then it disappears.
why when I place something on the stage it does not match up on the web page. Do I have to set the co-ordinates of the item for it to appear in the correct place on a web page.

Attempt #1: The MovieClip.prototype.onEnterFrame hack
---------------------------------------------------------
All Movieclips have an Enterframe event. I set it to attempt to delete itself within the function so it runs once. Unforunately, this isn't possible (delete this.onEnterFrame) doesn't work, unless we delete the prototype.onEnterFrame dierctly as well. Of course, we can set the enterFrame to null, but enterframe will still be called despite it being nulled. So, what are the performance hits as a result of this?
Is there a way to flush away the MovieClip.prototype.onEnterFrame (by deleting it: deleting MovieClip.prototype.onEnterFrame), and then re-declaring it again "MovieClip.prototype.onEnterFrame=someFunc", so that layter clips that appear on-stage can be initialised accordingly with the enterframe "frame1" function? Yes, but redeclaring the function again would also apply the same enterframe event to the previous clips on the stage which had alraedy been initialised, which would waste more cpu cycles. Unforatunelay, it seems the Prototype thingy affects all instances on the stage, not the constructor itself upon initialisation. So, doing MovieClip.prototype.onEnterFrame=something, will cause all Movieclips on the stage to have that event, which is going to suck!!!
Could i hack the MovieClip cosntructor and create a totoally new one? But i think all these are hardcoded alraedy.
I want the function to run only upon instantiation of the MovieClip when it appears on the Stage's timeline.
I have a button that, when it is clicked, should cause a text box to appear. I can make text appear as a trace so I know the button's working, but I have no idea how to either get the trace onto the stage - it only appears in the .fla .output window. I think what would be preferable would be to get a text box to appear as the event but can't work it out....
View 2 RepliesI'm working on a portfolio site that loads external images and swfs (using loadClip). Many of the swfs are banners that have stuff that's viewable off the stage...whoever developed them wasn't smart enough to mask it off, and I don't have the source files.
The first problem I have is the extra stuff is showing up when i load it. The second is that its messing up the width and height properties of the clip (which I need to use to resize a frame that fits around the loaded swf/image). Is there anyway to get the size that the swf document was actually set to with actionscript? That way I can set up a mask. Otherwise I think I'd have to manually create an fla with a mask and correct size for each existing swf that externally loads that swf. Unless anyone can think of a better solution?
Maybe the title is not self explanatory but in most iphone games eg you click the correct example and you see a +100 points mc appear and rise and alpha out. I did this with a png done in photoshop BUT not all goes well - it doesn't work.

It seens perfct but I can't see it work. The funny thing is that the custom currentBubble - with a dot after you see the code hints but a dot after pb100 - you see no code hints. Well not normal.
ive been trying to get a mouseover working but im having some trouble.
I need it so when i mouseover a movieclip text appears in a textfield at the bottom of the stage.
also when i click the mc the text stays there as im dragging it into the correct location.

View 1 Repliesif I want to randomly select an image from the stage, by using an array, and send it to the location of a box on stage (ranPair1), how could I do that?

im not sure how to about this... i think it may have something to do with the addChild() function

View 3 RepliesI want to load some mcs randomly on the stage, except for a footer area at the bottom of the stage. Is there a way to exclude just a certain part of the stage using something like Math.random()*Stage and then specifying the bottom 300 pixels as off limits?
I'm using the whole stage because the swf is embedded 100% across the browser, so I can't restrict the dimensions.
Code:
onClipEvent (load) {
x = this._x=Math.random()*Stage.width;
y = this._y=Math.random()*Stage.height;
}

I'm working on my first game engine with AS3 and I'm hitting my first real setback. The idea is that the player controls a centered "turret" on the screen and can't move. Enemies come from all 4 sides and move towards the player. I have all the enemies spawning, randomly, on the edges of the screen. However their movement is silly, because I've coded it like this:
Code:
if (x > 300)

I want the final result to be a stage with a certain number of circle MC's moving around. I have made the circle MC, and added the AS so that it will start at a random point with a random color, then start moving around randomly. I want to make it so that In the beginning the document will duplicate the movie clip x amount of times, using a for loop. I want to then have all the new circles move around, and when two circles hit each other, they will dissappear, using the removeclip function. You can only use this on duplicated movieclips though, so how would i make all the circles duplicated? Is there a way to duplicate the original movieclip x amount of times then delete it? Or is there a way to remove the original after it is in a collision? Also I don't know how to do the collision detection. I am thinking of using a hittest, but would I just do it with a for loop? Is there a way so that if an MC hits any other MC?

View 1 RepliesCan images be stored in some sort of array and then called to the stage randomly?
View 3 RepliesI want 3 movieclips to change positions (swap places) on the stage randomly when I push a button and make sure they are always in different positions, so they don't randomise the same way.
cat, dog, fish
position_a,position_b,position_c
position_b,position_c,position_a
position_c,position_a,position_b
then loop and randomize the position they popup in again. So I can just keep on clicking the screen and they always change.
xxxa
xxbx
cxxx
I will have the 3 movie clips on the stage with instance names.
position_a
position_b

I'm trying to make a short clip = a website introduction - where feathers fall from above the stage eventually covering it completely. I've created movie clip with the animation (motion via motion tweens) - and what I'd like is for multiple instances of the Movie Clip to appear above the stage, then the Movie Clip to play, hence feathers falling randomly.I'd also like to put a time delay on the appearing of each new instance (ideally random) so that when the movie clip plays the falling feathers aren't perfectly synchronised (which they would be were all the instances to appear at the same time).I've tried playing with the scripts suggested in this thread with limited success: showthread.php3?t=259911(Also, I'd ideally like to change the tint on each movie clip (to a limited set of colours) instance to vary the colour of the feathers, but that's maybe a complication too far for the moment!
