ball2 is duplicated every 3 seconds and the gravity code is on the ball2 mc. this code is on frame one of the main timeline.Why when two of the ball2 mc's are on the stage does the hit test not work on one of them?
Code:
checkX = function (dx, oldVal, newVal) {
if (_root.paddle.hitTest(_root["ball2"+i])) {

I'd like to have a scrollbar which scrolls movieclips that are created depending on whether there is the information available in an xml file.The image attached shows how the layout should be and the xml will be something like this:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<root>
<myentry>[code]...
The kind of thing I want to create can be seen here... http:[url]...Click on 'engaging customers' and then you'll see a box to the right.I want to create something like that, but loading in the text from xml.
The scrollbar found here is good but I can't see how to implement the whole adding movieclips dynamically and then resizing the scrollbar etc.. http:[url]...Does this all include: loading in the xml, finding the node, creating a new movieclip, adding the xml information, resizing the scrollbar and then checking to see if there are anymore xml nodes?
I'm trying to make a bit stream across my page when you mouseover a button. The bit stream can be quite long, so I wouldn't think to do it by hand. I'm wondering how I would go about making the stream start out, and how I can get each bit to follow the other right behind it. (They're about 10 pixels wide). I can get the for loop to duplicate the clips, but I can't seem to get them in order.
View 5 RepliesI am trying to load some thumbnails and I have a few items that seem logical to me, but they do not work. The lines that are commented out do not work for some reason. The width of each thumb is needed so that I can space them out evenly with like 20 pixels between each.Initially photoArray has the path to each jpg, then it is overwritten with the movie clip when they load. If anyone knows why these lines dont work or knows a more efficient manner to load thumbnail jpgs that would be cool.I 've also tried getProperty() with no avail. PEACE - I'M OUT
Code:
createEmptyMovieClip("thumbMC", -100);

i'm trying to build this simple game for school: you've got a catapult which launches a "bullet" and you will have to aim it to hit a certain point. Now the whole catapult part and shooting the "bullet" works, but now it has to respond when it hits something, and that's where i'm stuck.

Why my hitTest is not working and how to modify the same in Menu1 to make it to work.
View 1 RepliesI have tried hitTest many times.The function works perfect if I run it from an example, but not if I do it myself.I attached the FLA.Also, in this demonstration I tried using the if with the ,s. I have tried with _root.mc.hitTest style.
View 1 RepliesI can't seem to get the hitTest to work for my script shown below. I have tested using movieclips created on stage during design time and made to collide during run-time. hitTest works fine in this situation.
But if I use the attachmovie command and create a movie on stage during run-time, that clip cannot hitTest with other movieclips. The hitTest simply doesn't work.
The script below is basically, to create instances of enemymc, and it will fall vertically, hitting a movieclip target_mc which is placed during design-time.
var enemyTime:Number = 0;
var enemyLimit:Number = 20;

1 main flash movie called game.swf 1 external flash movie called maze.swf
The thing is from my main movie game.swf I load the external "maze.swf" true the LoadClip procedure. This works "fine".
The maze.swf as you can guess contains a maze game, and as you all will know this works with the Hittest commando to check if the character doesn't walk up against the wall.
If I start the maze.swf as a stand-a-lone this works fine, but as soon as I load maze.swf in my main movie. The hittest doesn't work anymore, because in some way the hittest is now checking with the coordinates of the entire main movie instead of only the boundaries of the maze.
I checked If I was calling to the right path, with _root and _level0 and etc. This is al correct because I can trace all the properties from maze.swf in my main movie. But the hittest simply won't work.
I have had this problem for a long time and have not been able to fix it. I am using ActionScript 1, although if you can help me using AS2 I should be able to change it. I have a static movie clip with no code referring to it called "ship". Its center point is 275, 324.9. I have a series of planets coming down from the top of the screen and I need to check whether you "died" or not. The planets movie clips are contained inside blank movie clips that are there so thre registration point does not change. I was using the code
Code:
if(this.hitTest(275, 324.9, true)){
gotoAndPlay("gameover");
}
Ive got this piece of script where i place objects on the stage, to hittest eachother.Ive got two seperate addchilds: one child must hittest another child.[code]only one instance of the hitte_mc will hittest with the instances of Ring.
View 5 RepliesI'm trying to set up a very simple drag and drop game where users drag movie clips onto other matching movie clips.If the answer is correct, the mc stays in place; otherwise, it snaps back to original position. So far, only the dragging part works -- the movie clip won't stay in place when dragged to the correct position.I'm using Flash CS3 and Actionscript 2.The Flash movie can be found here: http:[url]..As it's set up now, the mc with the buffalo symbol is draggable,and the correct drop zone is the fish with thetext.Here's the script I'm using:
// Get the movie clip's location and
// store the coordinates as variables
onClipEvent (load) {[code].....
Go to [URL]. My hitTest function only works on the y-axis. This is the code....
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
// _root.speed = speed;
if (Key.isDown(Key.UP)) {
speed += 3;
} if (Key.isDown(Key.DOWN)) {
I can't seem to get hitTest to work for the plane in my little game. The code I'm using in the plane MC is:
[AS]if (_root.player.hitTest("_root.badguy"))
playerhealth -= 20;
}
[code]....
I want to the badguy plane to hit the player's plane and take a subtraction from the player's heath. I've fiddled around with using "this" instead of the full path of the playerMC - no success. My hitTest is working fine for the bullets!
i have attached an .fla file to show you what i am trying to achieve, i have a line (acting as a playhead) scrolling accross the screen, i am then wanting it to output to the window when it collides with each of the coloured squares, i have used similar things before but it is not working in this instance
View 5 RepliesI was playing around last night trying to learn simple AS to make a movie clip act like a button. I wanted the button movie clip to reduce the alpha value of the other movie clip when you rollover the button and when you roll off the button the alpha of the movie clip goes back up. It works, but if you keep rolling over and out of the button movieclip sometimes the alpha gets stuck at a certain value for a bit, then does what its supposed to. I'm using onEnterFrame () to do the hitTest constantly.
Here's the SWF and FLA files for you to look through:
hitTest SWF
hitTest FLA
Here's the AS code I used in the frame to do this:
Code:
onEnterFrame = function() {
if ( background._alpha > 100 ) {
background._alpha = 100;

i am currently making a game, and for some reason the hittest on my duplicated movie clips isnt working i know how to do them , and know it should be working , because it works on one of the movie clips but none of the others so im guessing it something to do with depth? i will give the code if any1 replys
View 2 RepliesSo I am able to trace the correct coordinates. However the hitTest fails. Here is my code:
[code]....
i just would like to know how to create an "hitTest" script inside a movieclip that is actually part of that hitTest code?I mean... I have mc A, and mc B. and the current hitTest code im using (that is on the timeline) makes mc A, destroy mc B when collide with it... but there are many mc B on the stage (with the same instance name) so, when mc A collide with one mc B, it destroys ALL mc's B... but i want it to destroy only the mc B that he collides, not all the others... maybe an hitTest script inside a movieclip B would work (somethig like "if MC A hitTest ME = i die" (not all the others)).

I have a movie clip called frog who moves along the screen, I want him to jump when he hits any other movie clips. I can make him do so with the code below, the problem is that if I write the same function for the other movie clips it doesnt work, it still works on the first one but none others. I have tried attaching an onCilpEvent on both the frog and on all the other movie cilps so no avail.
function hitBaby(){
if(_root.babyWord.hitTest(_root.frog)){
_root.frog.gotoAndPlay("frogB");}else{ _root.frog.gotoAndPlay("frogA");}

View 1 RepliesI 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 thing where orbs are supposed to stick together, so I put them all in an arrayand told them to stick together when they encounter another member of that array.However, they only stick in groups of up to four, and then the orbs begin to overlap and such.
View 2 RepliesI am working on a game that involves a play head (called playHead) moving along the screen and when it encounters various movie clips it triggers a sound to be played. It is all going well except that the sound seems to want to play more than once, so there is a staggered wierd sound. Is is possible to make the sound only play once and also it needs to play until the the sound has finished. (the sounds are all very short).Here is the code:
onClipEvent(enterFrame){ if (this.hitTest(_root.playHead)){ _root.sound15.stop(); _root.sound15.attachSound("over"); _root.sound15.start(); } }
I have a playhead that moves across the screen and when it hitTests a movie clip it plays a sound. all is working fine except that it will only work the first time it is played. The playhead is controlled by a button. I am working in Actionscrpt2. Here is the code on the movieclip:
onClipEvent(enterFrame)[code]....
In the begining I was having trouble because the hitTest was playing the sound over and over but the above code sorted that out. I think that the new problem was created by fixing the old one.
These codes are in the draggable MC: fish1_drag this is my code:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) { this.onPress = function() { startDrag(this); };
_root.UI1_mc.UI1_mc2.inv_mc.ISpace1.onEnterFrame = function() { if (this.hitTest(fish1_drag)) { stopDrag(); } else { } };}
I keep jumbling it up so that one thing works but the other doesnt. But basicly I need it so that when I drag fish1_drag (instance name) over ISpace1 (which is within many MCs : _root.UI1_mc.UI1_mc2.inv_mc.ISpace1 but opens up so you can drag it over it) for it the drop on the ISpace1.
I have another MC in the library and il get that the attach to the ISpace1 but what im finding difficult is just being able to drag the fish1_drag over the ISpace1 and releasing.
Here is some other reandom code that I have in a comment on my AC panel:
/*
this.onRelease = function() { stopDrag(); _root.UI1_mc.UI1_mc2.inv_mc.ISpace1.attachMovie("fish1_mc","attached1 ",this.getNextHighestDepth()); _root.invCount += 1; updateAfterEvent(); // I probly dont need this updateAfterEvent. but its there anyway. };
