ActionScript 2.0 :: Movie With Several Objects - HitTest Repeating
Oct 25, 2010
I have several objects in a separate movie and want to perform a hitTest with them and my other object 'knexman' which is noted below in the script. Basically what's happening is that when I trace the output of the hitTest, it increments about 5 or 6 at a time with each enemy collision running into the knexman object. All I want to do is when objects run into the 'knexman', to increment and trace it by one. Once I get it to increment by one I can accurately conditionalize how many lives are left etc.
onClipEvent (load) {
function reset(){
this._y=0;
this._x=random(600)+300;
enemySpeed=random(15)+5;
this.gotoAndStop(1);

By the way I'm still really new to Flash and AS3.I'm writing this quiz that gets questions and answers from an xml file in the same directory and displays the question in a TextArea, the available answers in a list, and additional text in another text area.Most of it was working the way I wanted and I noticed the apostrophes weren't coming through the XML so I thought I'd try escaping it with a not thinking. I did a publish preview and saw that my list loop became infinite populating my answer list. I took the out and still had the same problem. I backed out as far as I could in the AS3 and couldn't find anything that would cause it to continually loop like that. I traced a statement at the beginning of the script and realized it was actually looping the whole app not just an event or function. I'll reply back with the code.

I'm making a game where a character moves around a level and stays in the centre of the screen as the background scrolls past. I have created a movie clip of an enemy that moves up and down, and used hitTest to stop my character flying through the enemy and also to deduct a point from the score. However, if my character hits the enemy and stays underneath him, the enemy's movement pushes my character out of the screen, and you can no longer see him.

Im trying to make a small game. Could someone take a look at the CS4 and CS3 fla files attached and tell me how to make the game reset when the red circle touches the block boxes.

Basically what I'm looking to do is hitTest bullets inside an array (spawn via addChild -> pushed into an array) with another array containing ships (spawn via addChild -> pushed into an array as well).At the moment I have:
function moveEnemyLarge():void{
var target2:EnemyLarge;
for(var i2:int=0;i2<enemyShipArray.length;i2++){
[code]....
.. and a near identical function for the bullets (using variables: i, target).What is the easiest way for me to hitTest the objects within my bullet array with the objects in my ship array. Putting "target" in the PLACEHOLDER slot doesn't work, and from what I've seen some people will shove the one for() inside of the other.

I want to make a hitTest functions that detects if a object is hitting any of several objects. Is there a way to do this? I thought I could do this with a array and for loop. But I think that will use to much CPU when this is loaded every frame. Is there any other way?

I'm trying to get something quite simple to work, but can't figure out what's happening here. I have five identical MCs (Bat characters), and the user can drag a bottle to feed them.
There is a hittest object (called WormEat) inside the bat's head. When the bottle, which is attached to the cursor touches the bat's head, it toggles to frame 2 of the bottle, which should play an animation of the liquid going down to empty.
This code is all working fine, except that when the code toggles to frame 2 of the bottle, it remains static. The animated Movie Clip doesn't play.
If not, perhaps a Switch statement could work, but I'm not sure how to use that method with Hittest..
Code:
var DragArray:Array = [Bat1, Bat2, Bat3, Bat4, Bat5];
for (var i:int = 0; i < DragArray.length; i++) {
DragArray[i].addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, CollisionWorm);

I'll try to make my question pretty short and simple.
[Code]...
So what I'm trying to do is make the character stop when it runs into something. I can do that, but it will only work for one "block" movieclip I put on the stage. What can I do to make this work for multiple "blocks"?

I'm just curious how you'd hitTestObject a fast moving object? The problem I'm having is that my bullet seems to skip over large areas depending on the speed. Since the speed of my bullet is 40 pixels per millisecond (I think), it seems to only appear on the stage in instances that are 40 pixels apart, so I cannot hitTest in between those instances.
Here's an image of the bullet patturn as I hold down the shoot button. It just looks like this, unchanging. I won't be able to hit the yellow object ever.

I am trying to create a program using random motion of two movie clips and uses hitTest to determine whether the two objects collide with each other. I've gotten hitTest to work with the original movie clips, but when the user loads more movie clips (via a button and duplicateMovieClip):

On the stage of a flash app I have several movieclips that keep repeating. Now I need a movieclip that doesn't repeat. It should play once, and then keep its last state on stage. I can't find out how to stop this movieclip from repeating.

How would i make hitTest work better with a rotating object(AS2). Becase i have a circle and it if gets near the rotating object (actually pretty far away) it starts the script,(new x and y)
I think thats the rotation script, becuase i took a break for like 4 days becuase it was irritating.

When I implement the hitTest all the objects stop flying. Is it becaus too much is happening and the CPU has to think - I don't think so - my game is so basic. By the way, somewhere along the line I will use loops and arrays but at the moment I know what's going on in my code.

I'm actually working on a multiple collision detection in actionscript 3.0, using pixel collision for a game for my assignment, where an enemy patrols around and searching for the hero. So, i draw a line between the enemy and the hero, to check whether there's some collision happened between those two. if the line colllides with an obstacle such as wall, door, etc. enemy will not be able to see the hero. When i tried a single line collision with a wall (one object only) it works perfectly.
But here's the problem. For the multiple objects collision (several walls and doors included), i added those objects in an arraylist, When i used for loop to check the collision between the line and those objects in the arraylist, none seems to react , except the first object in the arraylist or index 0.
Is there any simpler way to do the multiple collision detection?

If you go to this URL and scroll all the way down - you will see that my Flash movie is showing up twice in the screen - stacked vertically on top of each other. Can you hit view source and tell me what code I need to take out of my HTML page to stop it from repeating a second time.[url]...

I two small flash games/gadgets, that are loaded into a bigger one using loadMovie. They all work, except one part of one game. It seems that my hitTests arent working when the game is loaded into the main movie. It works fine on its own, but not when its loaded. I've attached all the files.

I'm making a droid (bad guy) move down the screen. If it hits the robot (good guy) the baseHealth will go down 2, same if it hits the bottom of the screen. If it hits the beam movie clip then it will go to the top of the screen and continue downward. The beam movie clip is a laser that slowly move outward, and I want the droid to go to the back of the screen if it ever touches any frame of the beam. However, when the droid touches the beam nothing happens, though it seems to work when it touches the robot or hits the bottom of the screen.
Code:
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, moveDroid);
function moveDroid(e:Event):void{[code]....

Ive created a project that creates random movies clips with text in them, everything works fine except that movie clips will overlap each other due to the random nature of the project.I've looked everywhere tips on hitTest methods but I cant seem to get it right, the major problem is that the clips have similiar names, if I try a hit test the movie clip will just detect itself and not look for the other clips.

when my character hits a certain object, I want it to play the movie. BUT since the hitTest is techincally always true if my character is just sitting on the object the entire time, it continuosly player frame #2. What is the simple fix for this? The code that will just play movie clip ONE TIME, and not restart continuosuly?

When you duplicate a movieclip or generate one through AS hittest will allways return true. I tried to make a selection script,by putting the code below into the frame. It makes a rectangle to select charclip movieclips (duplicated and numbered, therefor the for loop) to select them, like when you select icons on a desktop. Unfortunately, it will select all charclips wether theyre inside the rectangle or not. I tried to confirm this behaviour by making a simple hittest script like the one discribed on the kirupa actionscript tutorial, with a moviecript and a duplicated one. The moviescript was detected when it actually hit it, the duplicated one was detected all the time. How do I circumvent this? Should I ducplicate in an existing movieclip or something?
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("sfield",10000000);
_root.onMouseDown = function(){
x=_xmouse;
y=_ymouse;

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 have this "point" movie clip that starts on a random hitpoint. I can drag around, on the stage and there are more than 10 small invisible movie clip.How do i create any sort of algorithm where it can somehow "loop" thru all the movie clips to test if it hits any?If so, it will snap to it, else it will revert back to the previous hit point?

is there such AS where you can click/hitTest etc. and then it will take you to the next frame but with the whole frame centered?

I have a movie it is a triangle.I duplicate it and I want to hitTest on the first triangle movie clip and I added 3 different line movie clips on the 3 side of triangle.I tried to write a code something like that.
if(firstTriangle_mc.hitTestObject(line1_mc,line2_mc,line_3mc){
trace("Ok");
}
but I've got error.I think it is not allowed hitTestObject for multiple Movie Clips.So is there anyone have an opinion about it?What should I do?
