I have 52 (pack of cards) movieclips on stage all turned invisible When selected they turn visible. and need to display in one of five set positions (e.g. x and Y co-ordinates). If the first slot if full the card should be displayed in slot two. IF slot two is full the next dard displays in slolt three. I card two is then removed and a space left the next card chosen should go in there.

View 4 RepliesHow should I set the Co-ordinates of one object relative to another?
Eg: Balloon, Monkey
If I need the Monkey co-ordinates fixed relative to the Balloon only and my Global or Stage Co-ordinates fixed at the Top - Left hand corner should not affect my Monkey's movements.
i.e Monkey's co-ordinates computed with respect to Balloon's only.
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.
There is something i do not understand, i'm making a Tetris like game and i want borders (limits) but when put an height and width to my MovieClip nothing appears.
Code:
public class Thugtris_V2 extends MovieClip
{
var ts:ThugtrisShapes;//ShapeManager.GetInstance().CreateShape(ThugtrisShapes.RLSHAPE);[code]....
I have second problem, i check my coordinates of my dropping shapes and my shape disapeared from the screen,fell completely down, and it's last coordinates were : pos = (x=-6, y=371).My bottom is suppose to be at 440? The entire screen does not "measure" 400 pixels? How can u get a negative coordinate,are'nt the coordinates suppose to be like texture coordinates, only positive and (0,0) is at the top left corner?How do u measure the pixels limits of the top DisplayObject? How are the coordinates actually "setuped"? Like cartesian but only the upper part?

Is it possible to change the x y co-ordinates of various levels within a movie.I havecreated a movie that references a lot of other movies on different level and loads them when required, from buttons etc. I have since created another movie that is basically border/interface around the original parent movie. The original parent movie loads exactly where I want it to, but the subsequent movies still load with x:0 y:0 so they are all out. I figure the easiest way would be to change the x, y co-ordinates of the levels in the riginal parent movie but I can't seem to find a solution.

View 3 RepliesI've set a movie to appear in my flash library using attachMovie. In the movie(Red), on release of a button there is a command that removes the movie Red/game_mc from the _root and code to make it an new file. I've given co-ordinates to other clips loaded in this way and they appear where they should.
[Code]....
The _root.game_mc being removed is an instance of a different movie clip loaded earlier. The problem is that the clip that loads at the origin (0,0) of the main document rather than the _x and _y co-ordinates from the clip.
I am generating some dynamic movieclips [reading polygons from SVG] and then adding them to a container movieclip [it happens to be a movieclip/class which was exported from FlashMC]. Now all these new movieclips are generated at runtime and I am not assured of their X and Y coordinates; I want them to be at a place where parent MC's co-ordiante falls.... say x:10, y:10.
Now the issue is i can not use MouseEvent.localX / stageX as I want the placement to happen soon after the MCs are generated. I hope I have described it to major extent...
I've got a clip on the stage at (100, 100) and I execute the following code:
[Code]....
Given that circle1 is on the stage, shouldn't localToGlobal leave the co-ordinates unchanged? I think the result of its call is wrong!
I have attempted to make a movieclip scale in the y axis using _yscale but I can't seem to make it scale to the exact mouse co-ordinates.
Its within a rotating movie clip (controlled by the position of the mouse) and that works fine.
Here's the code I'm using at the moment.
Code:
onClipEvent(enterFrame){
var disty = this._y - this._ymouse
var dist = Math.sqrt(disty*disty)
this._xscale = 100 + dist;
}
I'm not an expert in actionscript but I know a thing or two, but basically I've been given a task in a new web-based piece of software whereby users can drag and drop objects onto a background bitmap. The amount of objects and the co-ordinates of each object will then need to be saved for each user, so when they log back in (regardless of what machine they are using, they'll see where they have left off.)I've seen mentions of using the shared object, but this won't do as the user will not always be using the same machine.

I have just started with creating Drawing Pad, which can save and reload the image drawn once. I have completed the basic interface which includes drawing and erasing part. I am storing the co-ordinates in a text file. I am using MultiDimensional Array to store X,Y co-ordinates. But now I am facing a problem that how to load these variables into the flash back and using these redraw the image. I tried using 'loadvars', but it didn't helped me as it doesn't return string data. Can somebody help me in this so that I can load co-ordinates from text file and redraw the image.

View 7 RepliesI have a movieclip in the library that I am exporting for actionscript. I duplicate the movieclip by adding a child for each occurance of a tag in actionscript. This works fine, but I can't figure out how to change the y postion of each new child to be 30 pixels below form the last child. Here is a snippet of the code where I am having the problem:
for (var i in xmlData.region){ for (var k in xmlData.region[i].regionInfo.payment);
var mcRI:regionInfo = new regionInfo(); this.addChild(mcRI); mcRI.txtPayment.htmlText = xmlData.region[i].regionInfo.payment[k].card; mcRI.y += 30; }
}
Instead of each new child's y position changing +30, every duplicate is on top of each other at +30.
What I'm really looking to be able to do, is have a clip in the root move to the same x and y as a clip that is embedded into another movieclip. How would I pick up the X and Y co-ordinates of this embedded movie clip?
To summarise,
ClipA is embedded into ClipB, what I want, is for ClipC - that is based in the root - to match ClipA's position.
ok I am having what I think is a targeting problem.I'm loading a swf into a blank container inside another movie (main). The AS in the loaded swf refers to positions of MC's in itself _x & _y etc.However once it is loaded, those positions are not true... ex. if the center of the swf is 200 by itself depending in where it is loaded, it might become 400 or any other number - reletive to the main movie's stage (I hope Im being clear).I need the AS in the loaded swf to refer to itself (x/y values relative to its OWN stage). So how do I target that? _root.MC.containerMC doesnt seem to work, but is this on the right track? Basically when an swf is loaded into another, does its _root now become the main timeline of the movie its loaded into???

View 5 Replieswell i'm working on a small scale game and I appear to be coming across some small issues that I was hoping someone could help me with. I have this:
ActionScript Code:
if (_root.mc_player._x <= 540){
stop();
}else{
gotoAndStop(2);
}
in the frames actions.What I am trying to achieve is that when the players x position is greater than or equal to 540 it changes frame, I've tried various adaptations of this such as the following:
ActionScript Code:
stop();
if(_root.mc_player._x >= 540){
gotoAndStop(2);
}
mc_player is the instance name of the player (obviously :P) and when i enter the second code it just jumps straight to frame 2, so far it seems that the code is just setting the players x position at 540, so i tried setting it using actionscript like:
ActionScript Code:
_root.mc_player.x = 179
_root.mc_player.x = 143
it would set it at that and then the if the player reached the x position of 540 it would change frames but in that case it just didn't change frames.
