It's been SOOO long since I've done this! Now I have a client that wants it, and I cannot remember how to do it! You guys are gonna laugh at this.
I need a MC to move across the stage using AS, not tweens. Just from left to right. Not using a button or anything, just play the movie and have a MC go from left to right using AS.
I know this is very noob, but I need a simple AS move and loop. Move an object across the stage and once out of site, loop and start over again? It needs to be a slow and endless loop.
View 3 RepliesHow do you make a movieclip move horizontally from the start of the stage to 3/4 of the stage. Stage size is 700 px by 600 px i want just one row in the middle of the stage. i want that movieclip to disappear right after it reach the end of the 3/4 mark.
View 1 Repliesfigure out why the movie i just made is off stage. I just I don't want to start from scratch or move every object that is off stage onto stage. What did i do to get it here to begin with???
View 1 RepliesHow would I move a movie clip from a (non-specified) point, to a designated destination (in coordinates)? For example, move a movie clip named "Guy" to coordinates X=100, Y=100.
View 4 Replieshow to move the stage within the actual .fla file by modifying this.x and this.y variables in the layer 1 actionscript.
But within the document class- public class Starlight extends MovieClip, it does not seem to work no matter what i try and my research lead me to this use code instead:
for( i = 0; i < stage.numChildren; i ++){
stage.getChildAt(i).x -= player.speedx * player.bounceSpeed;
stage.getChildAt(i).y -= player.speedy * player.bounceSpeed;
}
I do realize that its hacky and slower as compared to actually moving the stage itself. And i'm not sure what's going to happen if another object that moves comes into the stage because technically this code is unnaturally altering the x,y of everything in the stage.

I have a menu with three buttons and a head "scene" where i present my information. When I push a button in the menu three small pictures are shown on my "scene". Each picture should show a bigger version of the picture and here is the problem. The first picture is shown and it is possible to make it disappear with removeChild. But how do show the other two pictures?! I have tried to do the same as i have done with this picture but with no success.
function visaGolf(e:MouseEvent){
var headBtn:MovieClip = new btn();
headBtn.name = "headBtn";[code]....
Any way of moving everything off the stage taht is of two types of movie clip.. see I have a couple of entities on my stage, one is a menu which has a series of buttons each of which have a number of event listeners etc. Then I also have two types of movie clip, and at any one time I will never know how many of each I will have.. Is there a way of calling all movie clips on the stage and setting their coordinates? But only movie clips of a certain type?

I wonder if there is away to move all objects currently on the stage at the same time without addressing each of them and regardless what obects which are on the Stage. Something along with Stage.y=-50 I know this wont work but is there a way?
View 6 RepliesI have a movieclip and I want that when the movieclip is finished, when it reached the final frame, I want to jump at the next frame on the stage. So I wrote on the stage in the frame that the movieclip is :
Code:
if(intro.currentFrame == 89) {
nextFrame();
}
I also tried in the movieclip something similar, in the last frame I wrote
root.nextFrame();
but nothing works.
I have a large image (w: 1071px, h: 2222px) which I need to move a distance of 2178px upwards on my stage and the quality of the tween is terrible.
I've ticked the box in the image properties to allow smoothing and I've also reduced the image quality to 50% but it still lags. I've tried chopping the image up into seperate pieces so that when some of the image has gone beyond the stage area and is no longer visible that part of the image is removed and flash no longer has to move it. I've used timeline and actionscript tweens. I've tried exporting a quicktime movie to see if the results would be any better but they were pretty much the same. I am pulling my hair out here!!
My items no longer sit on top of the gray area outside the stage. When I try to move an item off the stage it goes under and I cant see it.I am using cs 5.5. I think I must have changed an option somewhere, becuase if I open up a new document everything is fine.
View 1 RepliesI want to use keypress (a and d keys) to move an object (MC) across the stage. Here's what I have so far:

The clip has an instance name of red_mc. It doesn't work though? Also, if I want to have a yellow instance to work off "j" and "k" keys, do I just copy and paste the code above?
I'm wanting to make a flash site using a layout similar to the following website:
[URL]
I would like to point out the features I'm interested in learning how to do:
1) The stage "scrolls" or moves to the left and right as the mouse moves to the edge of the screen accordingly.
2) There is no horizontal scrollbar in the web browser even though the flash stage seems to be very large horizontally.
i have a movieclip of a butterfly and needs it to move randomly on stage. Also, it should always be facing the side it�s flying at and never fly backwards (if it�s flying from left to right it should be facing right and the other way about)

View 9 RepliesI want to move the bg with mouse movement and use this code.
Code:
leftMouse = mask_mc._x;
rightMouse = mask_mc._x + mask_mc._width;
topMouse = mask_mc._y;
[Code].....
There are two movie clip one is mc and another one is mask_mc. I made the Registration point for both the movie clips to the left and tested locally and it seems OK when I am in the left edge, top edge or any edge the background is not visible and after that I uploaded to look how it goes. But I can see the background when the mouse is at the edges. How can i adjust the same?
My mask has a size of 1024 x 768 and the mc has a size of 1250 x 940.
I am making a platformer in actionscript 2 for a school project and I've run into trouble.
I'm using a big (5755px or something, if I recall correctly) bitmap as a background for my game so I need the camera to center on the main character movie clip which is situated in the beginning of the stage (and bitmap).
So, in order to use the full canvas I need to center the camera at the far left of the canvas.
This would be something essential for me to be able to use the entire canvas but I couldn't find anything on the internet about it .
My code below is used to move cubes on stage using mouse but sofar it simply isnt working. the code seems correct and ive spent days just trying to figure it out, but no luck So wondering, whether an outside view could spot the problem?

stop();

i have movie clip with images and buttons: left, right, up, down, need for this buttons add events, to be able to move the picture from movieclip to stage
View 2 RepliesHere is my code:
function createEnemy(event:TimerEvent):void {
var enemyAppear = new MovieClip;
enemyAppear = new Enemy();
enemyAppear.x = Math.random()*stage.stageWidth;
enemyAppear.y = 285;
[Code] .....
What I am trying to do is spawn a enemy to stage and when it appears on the stage I would like it to move across the stage a certain distance.
Visual Example:
O = enemy, X = original position, Y = new position
O (Spawns @ Location X) X ---------------------------------------------------------> Y
( Moved from location X to Location Y)
got past the last problem i had. now i have a series of bitmaps stored in an array... actual bitmap data, not external image references..

View 2 RepliesI want to make an explosion and move other movieclips on stage depending on how far they are from the explosion point. If one mc is only 10px away from explosion it should go another 90px and if it is 75px away it should go another 25px. I can't get it to work (I don't remeber anything about vectors in math class..)
View 1 RepliesI have gone into the libraries window and selected NewVideo... and named the symbol VideoContainer. I have also gone into the symbols properties and selected control with actionscript. My question is can I use a form of the attachMovie(); to place it on the stage? I dont see were I can select a linkage id name.
If this isnt possible, then is there a way to use actionscript to move a thats dragged onto the stage into another movie clip thats created using actionscript? For example:
createEmptyMovieClip("BannerContainer", 0);
VideoContainer.MoveInside(BannerContainer);
