ActionScript 2.0 :: Path Finding Method For Isometric Game?
Dec 26, 2011
Any simple path finding method for my isometric game im making. The game consists of a character in a 7x7 isometric grid and you can buy items from the shop and you would be able to pick up and set down the items but I know how to do that what I need is to find a way lets say theres an item using a tile and I click further from that tile the character would need to walk around it ill do all the _rooting for where the character faces and stuff I just need a simple way to let my character know how to walk around stuff heres where my games at : (not done, my character can walk but with a cheap algorithm I made, he cant even walk everywhere ) [URL]

I am currently creating a game similar to cafe world, farmville etc (social game). Would like to know how could I make an object move in an isometric direction when my mouse move. For example, when I want to build a house, I click on the house build button, and when my mouse move, I want my house object (stored in the library) to be move together with my mouse in an isometric direction. To give you all a better impression of the solution i am looking for, click on this link for a sketch: [URL]. So I want something like only when my mouse move 20 units more than the original mouse position, then my house item should move to the next grid.

I am developing an isometric game but I want the user to be able to see all sides of their character. Is it possible to import a 3d model into an actionscript (flash)? Also is this a good idea? Or should I stick with the basic 2d sprite idea?

I've been studying this isometric view game...and I was wondering how to make doors, unfortunately I'm not experienced enough to try and create a script that will actually work. I added the fla. file which I'm currently studying.

I'm trying to write a plug-in for Flash CS5 that will display the "instances path" for a selected object. I'm trying to work with JSFL.I manged to get all selected objects using fl.getDocumentDOM().selection. I iterate over the array I get and look at the objects. I am able to get each of the objects' name. What I need to do is construct the "path" to that object (e.g., scene.scene.instance4.myText). Can anyone think of a way to do that? Is there a way to get the object that contains a certain object?

I've been attempting some pathfinding and I have got really close! it works fine until its surrounded by other nodes that have already been tested which means it cant do complex maps so heres the code:
A*
Code:
package {
import flash.display.*;
import flash.events.*;
import flash.utils.*;
import flash.text.TextField;
public class pf extends MovieClip {
[Code] .....
I'm sure I have got it 99% right just that last bit is wrong.

What is the best/preferred method for getting the length of a series of xml nodes? Currently I am just using a for in loop and using the ending variable value. This is working fine, but seems inelegant/inefficient.

Let's say we have a number of ExternalInterface.addCallback functions, like so:
ExternalInterface.addCallback( 'foo', handler );
ExternalInterface.addCallback( 'bar', handler );
ExternalInterface.addCallback( 'foobar', handler );
In the function handler I'd like to find the method name called through the external interface, such as foo, bar or foobar; is there a way? Eg:
private function handler(...args):void
{
arguments.callee.arguments[ 0 ];
}

I am just wondering if there is any commerical game-engine middle-ware or library for ActionScript 3 (I am big fan of "don't reinvent the box unless necessary"). I have checked out some Open Source ones such as PushButton and my google-fu is too weak to turn up anyone that is commerical (is that even allowed by Adobe in the first place?)

I am creating a flash game and I've hit a problem I have four objects, lets call them img1 through img4 I need them to move around a maze, witch is made up of blocks (maze.wall.block1 to block53) I have seen tutorials on creating a path however these all involve the object to be added to the stage, where as I am doing it in a as3 class. So my question is either: How can I create a path manualy on the stage, then create an object to follow the path in the as3 class, OR how can I add very simple ai to the img object to move around but change direction when the hitTestObject triggers on the maze.wall.blocks?

I want to make a simple frame by frame path branching game. The problem is that I know that writing in and filling in EVERY FRAME going all along for EVERY CHOICE PATH would be an insanely tedious amount of work. My basic project is reminiscent of japanese visual novels, and I've been looking for turtorials to help me with this style of role playing games, but all of the tutorials concentrated on the adventure RPGs. : Being a novice at Actionscript, past working buttons to make it go to the next frame and stopping it, I was wondering if its possible to make a choice you make earlier in the game affect it later. Such as, you keep following the game normally afterwards, but depending on your choice you'll go to a different scene later. basically, this way I'd like to eliminate the need to make two duplicate paths with only minor variances to show the changes for some choices. Another thing that I would like to know if its possible to do, though this is less important, as I have yet to look for these things and I'm sure I can find them but a save/load system, easy to find I'm sure. And an unlocking system. Something so that once they hit a certain CG I can unlock it in a 'memories' menu on a main screen.

Suppose, that I need to have a HTML control inside my Flex/AIR app. The user should be able to click somewhere into the currently rendered HTML-page and the flex app should know, which DOM element the user clicked. Ideally, the app would be able to retrieve the DOM path of the selected element. Posting back the innermost surrounding DIV-element to some Flex/AIR method would be fine too.

I am trying to understand the best technique for this.My game is like a side scroller. A new "Tile" or piece of game would contain one of each display objects.
-terrain
-slide (like a playground slide)
-other stuff...
pseudo example: the first tile set would be pieces terrain1 and slide3
Code:
var terrainPieces:Array = new Array(1,2,6,3,16,2,3,5,7,2);
var slidePieces:Array = new Array (3,0,1,2,00,4,2,1,4,0);
One of my issues is readability and ease of level layout.i want to keep the code stacked in a way i can read pieces easily, which is why slidePiece 0 or 00 == no slide (just to keep the array in line).I can look at this and say to myself the 6th set would look like terrain2,slide4. (which are both pooled display objects) Would it be better if each "tile" is a class containing references to each asset? If so, i cant see how to assign each tile in a readable form while setting up the level layout on my end.

I am making a platform game in flash. I have a goal class(the class which contains code for the goal sprite, where when you hit it, it continues to next part of game).
[Code]...
The beginClass function is fine, and only runs once, but eFrame is what checks if the player has hit the goal, so it is constantly running. The problem is, once the player hits the goal, eFrame continues to run, while in a menu describing the next scene to the player. My eFrame function is below.

I have a drag and drop game. You listen to a sound for exampl "bread" You proceed to drag that mc to a box. If it is the right object I want to remove that mc and splice the array so it doesn't choose that object anymore. However I have notices two things.
When I splice(0) a specific element - then nothing works. When I splice the cuurent indexed element ie: the last element to get right - it doesn't actually remove it from the array. I have highlighted the key code parts.

I have the actionscript code here for a bubble popping game. When the game starts, bubbles fall down from the top of the game to the bottom and score is kept for the most bubbles clicked or popped in 30 seconds.The size of the bubble is defined by the initialize method in the code, and uses ToString() to calculate the score. ToString gives me a 1061: Call to a possibly undefined method Random through a reference with static type uint. This error which I cannot figure out where it comes from.[code]

Im trying to create an inventory for an adventure game (escape the room esque interface).Basically I have an array inventory system - you click on an object that is listed in the array,it moves the item off the main screen and into your inventory (bottom of the screen) and resizes it. Then you can use the object as an inventory object.This is fine on frame one (where all the items are at the moment).But when you move to another frame and then come back to frame one the items are back on the screen in their original position but now non clickable(aswell as being in your inventory working how they should). If i put the items in frame two and no items in frame one I get the following message and the items become unclickable:
Code:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
at Inventory/makeInventoryItems()
at InventoryOne
Im guessing the errors are because the items don't exist on all frames but the code does as it is in the games properties as the class type (class Inventory), but i have no idea how to get around it.
Inventory/makeInventoryItems() is the following AS code.
Code:
function makeInventoryItems(arrayOfItems:Array) {
for(var i:int=0;i<arrayOfItems.length;i++) {
arrayOfItems[i].addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, getItem);[code]............

How would I go about using CopyPixels to build an isometric map? CopyPixels takes a specific rectangle and copies that onto a bitmap.. But how would one use that to build a seamless isometric map?Building a square top-down tiled map would be very simple as copypixels pastes each tile next to one another.. But for Isometric Maps, this would be different as some parts of the CopyPixels rectangle is over lapped into other tiles.. and this would 'erase' the bitmap of the other tiles currently on the bitmap..[URL]Fig2, is what happens when you try to do a copyPixel over an existing bitmap, assuming the white is transparent space.

Am updating a 2D game I made to have an isometric view, problem is am having issues when converting the 2d coordinates of given movieclips into isometric ones. The way I converted my game into an isometric one is just by rotating rectangular graphic 45 degrees and increasing its width such that its 2 times the height.I having problems converting all my 2D coordinates into isometric ones.Is there a function to convert them, or a mathematical formula I could use? by the way the game am making is not tile based, so functions that use tiles to convert the coordinates are not going to work unfortunately.
EDIT: I managed to fix it, I just changed the alignment to be the upper left corner, i.e. though the game is isometric and has a demimonde shape, I imagined that it is contained in a box, and that box's upper left edge is where it is aligned...this way both x and y coordinates r the same ones in both 2D and "isometric" view.

I've been reading a bunch of the tutorials about using isometric in flash but they all seem to have one thing in common. They all use the arrow keys for movement. I've been trying to use the mouse for movement but have only met with frustration so far. I can get the movement to work but then the object collision on the tiles doesn't work or vise versa.

Using a matrix I'm tyring to turn a square into an isometric tile by skewing it upwards (y -30) and skewing it to the right (x + 60). This does giv the desired angles but the sides of the square are stretched and become incongruent. Is there some way to lock the sides from stretching when skewed with a matrix? Pictures speak loouder than words, the shape on the right is what I get and below it shows what I want: [URL]
