ActionScript 2.0 :: MX04 - Create A Script Where The User Inputs A Maths Equation (something Simple Like 5 + 2 * 10)?
Aug 1, 2010
I am trying to create a script, where the user inputs a maths equation (something simple like 5 + 2 * 10), I have managed to break down the text into an array and have the numbers in one array and the symbols in another, I wanted the computer to then work it out, however I cant seem to think of how to do this and the methods that I have tried have failed.there is one dynamic box and the value of that is then broken down by an array split(" "), however this leaves the values in an array and it is percieved as a string not a number and so when i try to work it outit just displays 5 * 10, how would i get it to work that out?

In the scene there is a star and an AI player.what equation would take the AI player on the most direct route to the star...i.e guide it into the path of the star...just to make things clear, the star is static and the ai plaer is controlled by the computer. i think you have to make two variables distx and disty and use some sort of trigonometry on them but i'm not entirely sure on how to go along doing this.

I need to create a file that the user inputs text which looks easy enough, but I need to strictly define what they can put in.
It is a right/wrong answer so for example:
I would need them to enter the following sentence exactly: Hello my name is dog.

I'm sort of new to Flash, have been using it for ages but just to animate, i haven't done any programming or interactive stuff for years, so i feel new to it again!Creating a very simple platform.Movie clip of the character (instance name z_1)- runs button - when pressed makes z_1 invisible and loads another movieclip of him firing a weapon (z_fire). (also makes ground stop moving- basically game is a static running animation, over a moving ground, if that makes sense)This all works fine, i even figured how to make the score increase!After the firing animation is finished (there is a stop on the movieclip) i want the original running animation to be visible again and for the ground etc to play again. The firing animation is only 12 frames long so i imagine i need to tell the button to resume normal service on the stage after that time period![code]It's probably completely wrong but it works, i just need to know the extra code to make the original animations start back again after z_fire has played.

I'm using a simpel preloader script that holds the movie on frame 1, and plays frame 2 when everything is loaded.I used this script before without any problems, but for some reason the textfield with the "loading"-text only shows up at exactly 50% There are no other objects/movieclips/textfieds except this one "loading"-text on frame 1. When I trace the 'update()'-function, it traces once at the beginning of the script, holds, and than traces as it should after 50%...Here's my code at frame 1:
Code:
stop();
preloaden();

// do nothing
} else {

I am trying to automate the input process so that when a user inputs 3 numbers into the first field, it automatically jumps to the next one. I have the code to do it and it seems as though it should work but, for some reason, when I move focus from one field to the next the data in the previous field is re-arranged so that the last character input becomes the first (610 becomes 061 - for example).Here is my code:
Code:
phone1.width = 30;
phone1.move(10,10);

this lack of formal multidimensional arrays in Actionscript is getting to me. I'm trying to create an array within a class so that it's flexible enough to dynamically allocate enough space depending on how the instance of the class is specified. Ideally, I want this array's elements to also be dynamically allocatable.I've used the trick to "force" a multidimensional array in Actionscript by doing something like this before:
var row0:Array = new Array();
var row1:Array = new Array();
var matrix = [row0, row1];
...but this method isn't practical for dynamically sized arrays.

I've been reading a lot about the benefits of Object Pooling. Found some "tutorials" online, all above my skill level. Can anyone please show me an extremely simple example of an Object Pool. What my game does is creates Ball objects when the user holds down the mouse, stops when user lifts up mouse. I need to store these Ball objects in an array(or Vector), and hit test them with other objects, removing them from the stage when the hit another object. I'd like to create a pool of say 20 of so, created once, and recycle them.

I'm shwoing a step by step process on how I did a photoshop piece, and I want to have a simple flash swf that goes through each of the screenshots at the viewer's pace, by them clicking. I wasn't even thinking so complicated as to include forward/back buttons, even just somethign so simple as having the entire image clickable to move 'forward' and when it gets to the end it just loops or something. super simple, i would do an animaged gif but i want it to be at the user's own pace. but if you think of how an animated gif cycles that's how simple i want it to be. also a few of fading/dissolivng between the images would be cool.

I'm just trying to store a simple cookie that will remember the score for the next time the user plays the game (the score governs if an option is visible or not)It all works fine until I close browser/reload the page, at which point the shared object seems to disappear, any clues?
Write:
Code:
var rem_score:SharedObject = SharedObject.getLocal("score");
rem_score.data.score = new Number(score);
rem_score.flush();
The problem prolly lies in my write code but ill post the reading aswell just incase there is a problem with that too
Code:
var rem_score:SharedObject = SharedObject.getLocal("score");
if (rem_score.data.score != undefined) {
this.remdscore = rem_score.data.score;
if (rem_score.data.score >=30) {
[code]...
There is another point it is read but it is the same sort of thing as the above.

I have a square grid with 100 grid squares in it.I want the cursor to display its grid position.Does Flash plot the position based on pixels - ie would my grid square have to be 100x100px or a multiple of that eg 200x200px? Or could it calculate the position no matter what size the square was? eg 186x186px ?

To create a sort of thick-pixel gradient shadow, I've got a simple loop which creates a new 200x5 pixel Shape (rectangle) with each iteration, assigning an alpha value and y value that changes relative to the loop's iteration.
Code:
var upperShadow:Shape = new Shape();
for (var k:int=0; k<10; k++) {
shadowAlpha = (1-(k/10))*.5;
trace(shadowAlpha); // traces .5, .45, .4, .35, .3, .25, .2, .15, .1, .05
[code]....
This creates a simple linear gradient since the alpha value changes linearly, but how would I go about creating some sort of exponential/logarithmic/cubic/circular value for the alpha, so that it falls off differently?
Are there a set of common equations that people use for this sort of thing, similar to the simple (1-(k/10))*.5 I use for the linear change from .5 to 0 in ten .5 increments?

I have an app that was actually written for me. It's a multiple choice quiz basically where a question comes up and there are 4 answers. HOWEVER the answer always seems to be 80% on the same answer ie: BUTTON ONE out of the four. BILLIANT random function I don't think.Would this be a better answer formula to use?
function randomBetween(a:Number, b:Number):Number { return (a + Math.floor(Math.random()*(b-a+1)));}

I have some code that looks like this:
ActionScript Code:
level_btn.x = 50 + (i - 1) % 10 * 50;
It sets the x location of my level button. But this is in a for loop (that's what the 'i' is for.) I run it and everything works perfectly, as it should, not a single problem. Then I press the auto format button in the flash actionscript editor. (It's the button that adds all of the ; to the end of each line and other stuff)
Well that changes my code to this:
ActionScript Code:
level_btn.x = 50 + i - 1 % 10 * 50;
thinking it's done me a favour but it hasn't. It's got rid of the brackets so it won't do the maths functions in the correct order. I've tried adding more brackets in places and other stuff but I just don't know how to fix it. It's annoying because every time I press the auto format button I have to add the brackets in again.

i want to finish it in the end! i have this code which generated 20 stars and an ai player collects all of them (going for the one which is closest to it). This code was courtesy of -lauri... the code was
ActionScript Code:
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.display.MovieClip;[code].........
what i have currently is a player who moves around with the arrow keys collecting stars which appear at random moments... i wanted to make it so that the ai can also collect these stars and i am pretty sure that the code for that would be linked to what.

How do you create a simple Health Bar for Actionscript 3.0? I have been searching for this for a while, and all I ever find are AS2 tutorials. AS2 dates back to about 900 B.C. ; it is an archaic language and it needs to be left alone, FOR GOOD.

im working on a maths style jigsaw, and ive come across a problem of sorts, ive set random1_txt.text to 1 and random1_txt.text to 2 for testing, basically i want to randomise two textfields between 1 and 10, and also randomise the sign between either a - or a +
the answer can be computed by flash, now what i need it to do is stop on the frame number of the answer in answer_mc, these frames contain graphics of all numbers 1-20 in alpha format, this is so that the answer is in place, now the user can drag and drop movieclips into the answer box, and receive a correct or incorrect response
im at a loss on how to do this, i havent gotten around to randomising the sign as of yet i need to do more research but the general idea is as above
Code:
var startX:Number; //start of draggable piece
var startY:Number;
random1_txt.text = "1"
