I'm working on a thing where I use drag n drop. So far so good, but when the mc's is dropped on the drop target (which is also a mc) I want them to get inside that mc in some way. This is because I need to be able to move the droptarget_mc and the dropped mc's together with it!
View 3 RepliesExcuse the title, had no idea what to call this. I'm creating a simple game with the following components (added picture for clarity):
[URL]
1. Character - The symbol in the center of the stage.
2. Level - The bounds surrounding the stage. Everything in this picture is contained within the level except for the character.
3. Water - The blue square. The water symbol is located within the level symbol.
4. Water droplet - The blue dot floating above the water. This is also located within the level symbol.
Using the arrow keys the player controls the movement of the level. While the character symbol is always located at x=275, y=200 (center stage), the level symbol's coordinates change whenever the arrows are pressed. This gives the player the illusion that they are controlling the character.
When the player makes the character symbol touch the water symbol, I want to move the water droplet to the location of the character. The problem is, I can't for the life of me figure out the coordinates I need as they will always be different depending on where the character touched the water. It's important that the water droplet be inside of the level symbol because after the player drops the water I need it to act as if it's moving with the surroundings.
tl;dr: I essentially need to find the x and y distance from the character symbol to the origin of the level symbol, keeping in mind that the level symbol's location is always changing and that both symbols are located on the stage.
I am trying to code some circles to move around inside one another. I have managed to do the hit test bit, but its getting them to stop at the edge inside one another is what I am having problem with. The aim is so the user can drag the red circle and the yellow stays where it is within the red, but when you drag the yellow circle the red moves with it.
View 2 RepliesI have a circle drawn on the screen, wherein I add a moving object. I want it to keep inside. My strategy is to calculate the circle's radius and compare it with the distance the moving object is off its center. I beleive it's the proper solution. However, I'm having a problem with letting Flash know when the running guy should stop, so he doesn't leave the circle and ruin all the fun. Here's the code I'm using (it's not working of course):
function moveTheCreaturesRightwards(event:Event)
{
if(maleMovingRight == true)
{

The line: rayMale.width = maleRadius.width; was added when nothing else had seemed to be working
In my attached fla, you'll see a movieclip with a panel that rolls out upon rollover (or on click, whatever I can get to work) to reveal a panel containing buttons. However- I cannot get the buttons in this movieclip to work. I'd also like to put a text scrollbar on a copy of this movieclip (no luck so far for the same issue), but perhaps resolving the button issue will also clear the way for a working scroller

I am having difficulty with getting the playhead to move inside a movieclip based on the horizontal or vertical position of the mouse on the screen.

View 2 Repliesi have a BasicMap.as that takes an Array and populates itself with the MC objects passed to it by a String reference.it inherits from Sprite, and so it just places the objects on its self.then i have a class that inherits from that class, and gives a little more functionality to it, but in order for it to do that, it needs to place the objects not on itself, but instead inside a holder Sprite, so here is my problem:

how to randomly animate circles moving around inside a bigger circles? the small circles will have a collision effect on each other and on rollover of each individual circle, the name of it will come out in the bottom.. so the big circle will act as a wall preventing them from coming out..

I'm currently working on a custom component which extends Canvas (let's call it SuperCanvas) ; it's basically a container that let you zoom & pan its contents. It would be too long to explain why, but I can't use scrollRect, so I was forced to declare a Canvas object (called innerCanvas)... inside my SuperCanvas (I know, not very nice =/) I would like to know if there's a proper way to "redirect" the creation of my component's children in this canvas.

View 5 RepliesI have done this same thing in ActionScript 3, but am not familiar with ActionScript 2, which I am forced to use for this project. I am loading products into a SWF via XML and attempting to add a click event to each dynamically-created movieclip. Simply tracing the text from a node in XML will do for now. I'd like to assign a property called "desc" or "description" to each movieclip and have it trace that property's value when clicked. Here is the relevant portion of my code as it stands:

View 6 RepliesI have a main MovieClip in which I have several frame labels, each will eventually have different MovieClips associated with them. First time through I want to play an "intro" MovieClip, which I have placed on the stage at the begining of the main timeline, then at the end of the "intro" Clip, go to the first frame label and play that MovieClip.
The way I was going about it was placing this code in the last frame of the "intro" MovieClip:
Code:
MovieClip(parent).screen_mc.gotoAndPlay("home");
'screen_mc' is the instance name of the Main MovieClip.

Assume the main time line is A. On A I've got movie clip Z also On A I've got movie clip B and inside B I've got a movie clip C (I need it to be this way because it soft of a TAB meanu). My problem is the actionscript written in C makes few objects called planet 1, planet 2, planet 3 on A function well. But when I move planet 1, planet 2, planet 3 to a movie clip (planets_mc) it wont function! How can I put planet 1,2 and 3 in to one mc and still make the actionscript in C work? I've used the _root. command in the script C.

In general, I've got a spaceship shoot-em-up. I'm wanting to use a "tractor beam" to scoop up other items off the stage. I have it set up so that the t-beam is it's own MC, and class/.as. When a button is pressed it shows on the screen fine. However, I need it to move along with my ship.
Is there a way to do this currently, or do I need to redo the t-beam to be another layer on my ship class/MC and work it from there?
how to move Children in As3.I've a MC called mainClip with an instance child1 and child2.In Child 1, there is another MC wich has the name "aniMC" wich is a clip with a animation inside.I now want to move this aniMC (with its animation inside) to the child 2.So, as I read here I have to first remove the clip and then addChild it.But this doesnt work. My Code-Snipplet looks like this:
mainClip.child1.removeChild(mainClip.child1.aniMC) ;
var testMC = mainClip.child2.addChild(mainClip.child1.aniMC)
The strange things is, that testMC traces me a Object-Movieclip and has the name "aniMC". But ... its not visible. Alpha and visible are 1 and true. But I cant see it. Could it be that the Clip was added but not its content?
