I am creating some system simulations using Flash and I would like the user to press Ctrl+C on the keyboard, the thing is, it works with other keys but C does not work, what might be the problem?
The other thing is, I would like the user to "right-click" on the mouse instead of "left-click" so as to go to the next frame,how can I achieve this one without bringing the context menu.
I'm using Flashcs3 in AS2.[code]My character gets stuck in walls and slows down trying to get out, also, hes about 10x faster now. any suggestions? Im working on a flash overhead shooter, multiplayer only. and I need the script to work so there can still be a bullet collision on each wall and not to be able to walk through it.
View 6 RepliesI'm using Adobe Flash CS4.The language is Action Script 3In my library I have 2 items:playerwallthe player object is already functioning correctly with moving him around.Now when I place multiple wall objects into the stage (wall = 32x32 px) I want to prevent the player from moving when he walks into a wall.I've tried giving all the walls the same instance name and just check for a collision with that object but when I do that the collision only works for 1 of the walls.I could give all the instances of wall a different collision script but this is way to time consuming, is there another way to globally define the wall as solid for the player?
View 2 RepliesI want to target multiple buttons and get different value by clicking different button.
Suppose there are 3 buttons: "button01", "button02, "button03".
This is my code:
var targetArr:Array = ["button01","button02","button03"];
for (var i:int = 0; i < targetArr.length; i++)
{
var target = getChildByName(targetArr[i]);
[Code]....
Instead of getting different value by clicking different button, I constantly get "3" as the value. I want: clicking "button01" will get "0" as the value, clicking "button02" will get "1" as the value, and clicking "button03" will get "2" as the value. How to do it?
I am currently trying to implement basic speech recognition in AS3. I need this to be completely client side, as such I can't access powerful server-side speech recognition tools. The idea I had was to detect syllables in a word, and use that to determine the word spoken. I am aware that this will grealty limit the capacities for recognition, but I only need to recognize a few key words and I can make sure they all have a different number of syllables.
I am currently able to generate a 1D array of voice level for a spoken word, and I can clearly see, if I somehow draw it, that there are distinct peaks for the syllables in most of the cases. However, I am completely stuck as to how I would find out those peaks. I only really need the count, but I suppose that comes with finding them. At first I thought of grabbing a few maximum values and comparing them with the average of values but I had forgot about that peak that is bigger than the others and as such, all my "peaks" were located on one actual peak.
I stumbled onto some Matlab code that looks almost too short to be true, but I can't very that as I am unable to convert it to any language I know. I tried AS3 and C#. So I am wondering if you guys could start me on the right path or had any pseudo-code for peak detection?
Here's the low down of what I have
- a hero in the middle of the screen who follows the mouse
- he can shoot bullets, so there are multiple instances of the BulletClass
- zombies spawn, so there are multiple instances of the ZombieClass
Where is the best place to put my collisions detection code, and how would I even start? I'm new to AS3 so there's no real code to show you, I just need some starting advice.
Would I have to add each name of the bullet and zombie instances into an array and check them against each other in every enterframe? that could get pretty big....
I want to detect collision for several different objects, but want to keep the code as short as possible. whether I can use an array to hold the different movieclips and then detect collision with the entire array, or if I have to create a class and do it that way.
View 1 RepliesI read the tutorial about Multiple Object Collision Detection. What I want to do is have there be 3 circles and 3 squares. the circles are moving randomly while the squares are stationary. The actionscript would need to be checking to see whenever the moving circles collide with the stationary squares. However, it doesn't seem to be working. I followed the logic of the tutorial pretty closely, by making a separate list for the instance names. Here is the code for the collision detection.

View 1 RepliesI am creating a game where I have two separate arrays of objects that I need hitTested with each other. I found an old tutorial in AS2 that I modified to come up with this code:
ActionScript Code:
for (var w:Number = 0;w < enemyLaserArray.length;w++) {
for (var R:Number = 0;R < barricade1Array.length-1;R++) {
if (enemyLaserArray[w].hitTestObject(barricade1Array[R])) {
[code]....
This code executes like I believe it should, but along with removing the two objects, and splicing them from their arrays, I get this error
Code:
TypeError: Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties.on the line hitTestObject line. I have had similar problems in other areas of my project, but this time no matter what I try using trace statements I cannot fathom quite what the problem is.
I'm having a problem with my multiple collision detection code for a platformer game.. It checks for collisions on all objects separately and it checks only one object per frame. I need to make somekind of a loop so that it would check every object in one frame. Anyone got an idea? It's coded like this:

a way, to manage a multiple collision detection with pixel level detection, for objects, not necessarily circles, irregular objects.

I tried if and function together but it didnt work. there a short way to check a mc is clicked ( like a switch on swithc of logic or if mc clicked ??)( or how to check if a function is activated once)???

automatically replacing a flash file with a jpeg, for non flash users.
I also am looking for some scrpt which tells users if they haven't got a/the correct flash plug in. My site uses a flash 5 file as well as flash mx 2004.
Is there any way to bypass the ugly Flash popup notice asking to allow mic or video access? We do not want to NOT ask for permission, but rather have our own visual design asking to allow access.

View 4 RepliesI was told the pixel detection is costly for regular windows games. Is this the same for flash ?? Or would pixel detection be lighter compared to other detections flash has to offer. Flash has the getPixel32 method which makes it easy for detecting pixels. If I am bliting my game, would it be wise to use getPixel32 for collision detection. Or should I just check for specific tiles?? Is getPixel32 limited to the display object it is in ?? In other words, can I detect any pixel regardless of what layer it is on in the display list.I probably can figure this out on my own but I want to ask first to save me some time. But does anyone have any code or good sources on how to go about doing this if it is reasonable.

I'm starting to understand ActionScript and getting better with it. However, I'm building a platform game with an unlimited length. What would be the best way to create the "block" the player is jumping on?
Of course collision detection for these movieclips is needed (nicest would be to do it without a giant loop through an array, etc. on every frame). There's probably something like 5 block on the screen at the same time.
I am in the progress of making a Flash game and currently I am doing the coding for collision detection. The collision detection will be for detecting if the player is running into obstacles, and if the player runs into the obstacle, then it will stop him from running through it.

In answering a question on stack overflow, one person recommended using the following code to detect flash server-side, he pointed out that it does not work in safari:
if (strstr($_SERVER['HTTP_ACCEPT'], 'application/x-shockwave-flash')){
$hasFlash = true;}
Testing for Flash capability on the server-side. My question: why does it not work in safari, and how reliably does it work with other browsers?
