ActionScript 2.0 :: MX04 : Make A Dual Key Press Perform A Single Action?
Feb 1, 2010
im trying to make a game that requires you to have the spacebar and the right arrow key pressed to make the character move. However i just cant seem to link the 2 key presses together. when the keys are pressed individually it works and when theyre pressed together it works but i want the character to be inactive until both are down at the same time :/
i've tried everything that i can think of (which is kinda limited) i thought id cracked it with a 'while' statement but when i tested it flash would throw a fit and close heres the code that flash doesnt like, it looks (to me) like it should work but it clearly doesnt :P
PHP Code:
onClipEvent (load) {
_x = 0;
_y = 0;
}
[code]....

i'm wondering if i can activate the loadMovie function without button press. usually you see loadMovie utilized like so:
on (release) {
_root.emptyMC.loadMovie("yourmovie.swf");
}
but i'm trying to utilize it so when the user enters the page on the very first frame, the external SWF is loaded into the empty movie clip already. i tried inserting
_root.topSection.loadMovie("topSection.swf", _root.topSection);
in an actions layer on the very first frame of my movie, but when tested nothing is loaded.

I am designing a instrument panel and am needing to essentially create an emulation of how the panel would actually work. Right now I have the panel set up to run through a systems test. So I have a button play a movie, and display a verification that the test was successful. On the real panel, you press the same button again to confirm the test. How do you setup the button to go to a different frame than the first time I clicked it? I have come across different possibilities, such as using an "if then" function, but really don't know how to use the syntax, or if that would even accomplish the task at hand.

I have a simple accessor in my class:
public function get loggedIn():Boolean
{
var loggedIn:Boolean = somePrivateMethodToCheckStatus();
return loggedIn;
}
The API I'm now working with checks login status in an asynchronous fashion:
API_Class.addEventListener(API_Class.LOGIN_STATUS,onStatusCheck);
API_Class.checkLoginStatus();
[Code]....
Is there a way I can perform this asynchronous request without exiting my accessor?

I want to perform an action if a function is being used. If that function is being used then I will use another function, something like:
if(a.add){
a.mult;
}
That's what I want to do, but I don't know how to. The other thing is that when I use if , else if, with a text input as a parameter, I can't view the action of the if statement in a dynamic text field, even though I did write m.text=b, where b=a.suma.

I have a movieclip with about 50 other movieclips inside it and I want to set all their visibility to false (I can't do this to the parent because I will need to eventually just show one of the movieclips at a time). Is there any type of method I can use to apply, something like mymc.allchildmcs.visibility = false or mymc.mychildmc[i].visibility = false;

Is there a way to add an EventListener to a button and make it execute some action when it is clicked without calling a function?
In other words if I have three different buttons and I want to make an action depending on what button was clicked, something like.
If button 1 is clicked do this, if button 2 is clicked do this, if button 3 do this.
I know a different action can be taken using an eventListener and a function assigned to each button but I'm trying to understand more about AS3.

I need to evaluate long list of variables and I want actionscript to perform an action if my variable fits into certain range.I tried like this
if(_global.something == "var1" || "var2" || "var3" || "var4" || "var5" || "var6")
but it doesnt work, the usage of || needs only 2 variables...
I dont want to write my script like
if(_global.something== "var1"){
samefunction();[code].....
how can I write my script efficiently in this case?

Is there a way to reference multiple movieclips using a single variable name? For example,I'm making a side-scrolling game, and there's going to be many platforms, and I have some code that tells the player not to fall through these platforms, but I don't want to copy and paste the same "platform" code every time I add a new platform.

I'm not sure how to describe what I'm seeking, but basically I have a movie loaded in a clip and when the user clicks a button, I want the loaded movie to perform some kind of action (fade out or whatever) while the new movie is loaded.
Probably something simple, but I'm an idiot,

I have a chat program built using flash for the front end tied to a J2EE back end. My program creates socket connections which must be closed appropriately when a user signs off.
When a user decides to sign off they can click the sign off button and everything is peachy. However, a less responsible user may choose to sign off by simply killing the browser window. Is there any way to implicitly call an actionscript routine on this event?

I have a problem with two functions. This is the story: the user has to press the space button on keyboard when he sees something on screen, then the "rightClick" function is called. If he presses the button when there is something else on screen that is a wrong answer (function "wrongClick" is called). The problem is that when the user presses the space button both function run at the same time.
This is the call of the wrongtClick function on frame 5
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, wrongPress);
This is the call of the rightClick function on frame 10
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, rightPress);
Both function are very simple:
function rightPress(event:KeyboardEvent):void {
scorenum += 1;
trace ("Right:",scorenum);
} function wrongPress(event:KeyboardEvent):void {
wrongnum += 1;
trace ("Wrong:", wrongnum);
//and plays a sound too
}

I have a function that counts days and some other variables and displays the values via dynamic text.
[Code]...
I have to place the incrementCount(): function every 12 frames so that it increments the values. Seems like it would be easier to simply modify the script to count "every 12 frames" but I can't find anything that tells me how to "count frames" in flash. Seems to be this is probably basic but I've searched unsuccessfully....so how do you do this. How do I get my script to work so it's frame based so I don't have to put incrementCount() every 12 frames?

So if you press and hold a button, it does the function once, then waits 0.5 of a second or so then repeats the action quickly. How do I remove the 0.5 of a second wait?

I am currently working on an assignment that requires me to add sound to a mobile game. This is fairly straightforward in many ways but I wondered if there was any way that I could add multiple sounds to a single movie clip or action?
What I really want to do is to have say three or four different sounds for the sound of a spaceship exploding in the game to create variety and stop the gamer getting bored of the same sound every time they hit a spaceship.

I'm trying to make a 3rd person chase game. An issue I'm coming across that I would like to get some advice on is the AS I'm using for the walls.First off, here's the code for the character:
PHP Code:
onClipEvent(enterFrame){
if(Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)){
_root.blue_xaccel=_root.blue_xaccel-1;
[code]....
The whole idea behind this is to create a sort of acceleration. Now, when the player hits a wall, it's supposed to stop him.
Wall code:
PHP Code:
onClipEvent(enterFrame)
{
if(this.hitTest(_root.blueguy))
[code]....
Now, the code does what it's supposed to. This is a left wall. It stops the guy, and even pushes him back to the right. However, if the guy has some acceleration going toward to wall, he can go through it a bit.Example: The character is traveling at 8 pixels, but only three pixels away from the wall. In the next frame, he will move 8 pixels, and be 5 frames into the wall.

I am starting off by creating a very very basic flash document, with about 10 frames in it, just to get myself used to controls etc. i have got my buttons working to go from one frame to the next, and i am now wondering how to make a button load a movie clip, the movie clip is actually just a circle i drew and converted, but i would like this to be invisible, and then to load, or "play" when a button called "1" is clicked

I'm trying to make a game of sorts. I have a button that you need to click that is in the center of the screen. Upon clicking it, it goes to the next scene.What I need here is for the mouse cursor to start in the upper right-hand corner of the stage of the second scene whenever said button is clicked. Not just a movieclip of a cursor, but the actual mouse itself, since it needs to be able to click a button on the other side.Below I've included an example of what needs to be done (not my actual game, but it shows the problem that I'm having. IT IS AN MX2004 FLA FILE.
