ActionScript 2.0 :: Prototype - Creating Polygons Based On Array

Mar 14, 2008

Basically I have a prototype that creates polygons based on an array. works well. I then have another prototype that's supposed to create polygons using said polygon prototype.

So the below is:
1 - the polyMaker prototype
2 - an array of arrays ($arrowListB). basically each array item should be a new polygon.
3 - the problematic genArrows prototype.

What it should do is loop through the $arrowListB array and create a container clip ($cont). Within each container clip it should make a $arrowClip to be used in making the polygon (an arrow actually). It works until I get to the line after creating the movieclips:

Code:
$arrowClip.polyMaker(..arguments..)
Once I put that line in, it only makes one polygon and doesn't create the other (7 in this case) movie clips. I'm not sure if I'm just not referencing correctly or what.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Array Prototype Not Working?

Feb 10, 2005

I created a prototype function for the Array object. It's supposed to load and parse an XML file, then take all the values from the XML file and convert them to objects, which I then want to push to the array that called the function. However, I can't seem to get it to work.The function itself seems to work, but the push to the array does not. (code below)

Array.prototype.xmltoArrObj = function( path ) {
var xmlurl:String = "nav/" + path + ".xml";
var attr:String = "";

Actionscript 3 :: Clone One Of The Existing Ship Objects In Prototype Array?

Dec 11, 2011

I have a game with a variety of ship types. My Ship class has a static array holding one of each of the types in it. Whenever I make a new Ship (other than when initializing this array), I want to make it a clone of one of the existing Ship objects in my prototype array.

1 - How can I run through all the properties in one Ship object and assign them to a second Ship object?

2 - How can I see if a property is an object or a basic type like String or int? Some of the objects in my Ship class need to be cloned, and some are just references that need to stay the same.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Lines And Polygons Generated From A Database ?

Aug 23, 2010

Lines and polygons generated from a database..possible ? we have done so, that one can have e.g. spots populate a map in Flash with their positions coming from an xml feed database. The map having been drawn in Adobe/macromedia Freehand then imported into Flash.If we wish to show areas, e.g. development sites, can those areas likewise be shown from a database, perhaps the points that form the edge of the area being indicated by eastings and northings co-ordinates held in the database ? If someone alters a co-ordinate, the area then changes shape without being 'drawn' or edited using the usual tools.What of fills and alpha values, can they be controlled from a database ? If we wish to show traffic flow by having a line get fatter, can line width be altered via a database ?

Flash - Drawing Custom Polygons In Box2D?

Apr 14, 2011

I'm making a Flash game, and I've encountered a really weird problem while trying to draw a polygonal shape in Box2D.

Here's the code I use:

var fixtureDefs:Array = new Array();
...
var fDef:b2FixtureDef = new b2FixtureDef();
fDef.density = 0;

[code]....

Where vertexArray is a valid array containing 4 b2Vec2 vertices, making up a convex shape.The problem is, when I test, collisions don't work right for that body. Most other objects -enemies, user-controlled characters - pass straight through, as if the body isn't there at all. Some raycasts pass through as well.

Infuriatingly enough, one kind of bodies I have (a custom enemy) somehow does detect the body and collides with it. The raycasts that particular kind of enemy attempts do work - when your character hides behind the polygon, it's like they can't see him.The other weird thing: when I try the same code, only go for SetAsBox instead of SetAsArray, it works exactly as it should.I'm using a custom ContactListener class, but I haven't done any contact filtering (unless it's possible to do that without realising).I'm using the Flash 9 version of Box2D 2.1a.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Making Polygons Over Colored Image Parts

Jul 8, 2010

I have .ppm files which are the result of using a segmentation algorithm on images of things.These basically look like a jigsaw puzzle of randomly colored funny-shaped segments. I'd like for each segment to be selectable.I want them to change color on mouseover, so I can't just use bitmapData. getColorBounds (that's the best thing I could find searching for possible solutions).As far as I know, the best way to make a specific shape selectable is to draw a polygon using graphics.lineTo, etc. Assuming that that is true, is there any way to draw a polygon that roughly follows a jaggedly-shaped area of a certain color? Or is this just not something flash can handle?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Sorting An Array Based On Another Array?

Apr 10, 2012

how to reorder an array based on the information contained in another array. What my script is currently doing is detecting all the attached monitors I have and then ordering them based on their left bounds. However I then want to reorder the screens location in the array based on whether the user has selected that display or not. If the user has selected it, by clicking a button, the button movie clip will be on frame two, if they haven't been chosen it will be on frame one. So what I am doing is then creating two separate arrays, chosen screens and not chosen screens, and then combining them into one.

Code:
if(displayButton.currentFrame==displayButton.totalFrames)
{
//sort the chosen ones into an array

[Code]....

My problem now is being able to reorder a separate array which contains all the screens, called screenArray, based off of that. screenArray currently returns [Object Screen], [Object Screen], [Object Screen], etc... and is in the order of 1,2,3,4,5,6. How do I take then and get it to be equal to the order of my displayButtonsChosen Array of 1,3,5,2,4,6?

Professional :: Creating Text / Image Box Based On Current Date

Feb 25, 2010

I'm currently working in Flash mx 2004 and am creating a version of 'what happened in history today'. So my final layout will have the following iobjects.

Heading: 'current date'
Title: 'On this day in History'
Text box: Which displays the right description from a text file. history.txt
Image box: which displays a pic related to the current date.

I know basic Flash but have been playing around for ages am having real trouble getting things to work correctly. The main priority is to get the text loaded based on the current date. I have an images folderwhere the pictures are stored with files names related to date i.e. 14feb.jpg and my history.txt file is set out with a line for each date. i.e., 14feb=Valentines Day etc.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Creating Selection Border Around Sprite Based Object

Oct 22, 2010

I'm trying to make a little program. It works right now by drawing the top shape to the dark gray area, where it then copies itself and changes color. The new shape can be re-dragged as well. What I want to do now is add a dynamic border when I click on the new object, I want the box to adjust to an appropriate size. And on mouse release I want the selection border to disappear on the new shape. I want the selection border to be dashed much like you find in many of Adobe's programs, if at all possible.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Creating A Color Changing, Number-based Navigation Menu?

Apr 22, 2009

In a nutshell, the swf contains four ads (which link to portions of the site) and each ad uses the Timer element, displaying it for 5 seconds before moving on to the next one. Everything has come together nicely (although I'd like to clean up the code and use classes at a later date - I'm currently taking AS training from Lynda.com).
 
What's giving me trouble right now is the navigation bar. What I want to do is create four numerical buttons that a) change color during a mouse roll over b) change color for a corresponding ad (for example, when the third ad displays, the number "3" changes from white to gray to show that it is active and goes back to white when the fourth ad comes up).
 
Right now, I'm at a loss as to what to do. I've tried making the numbers buttons, but I can't control color changes unless I create two sets of buttons: one with white numbers, one with gray numbers.This also makes for some really bizarre Actionscript coding ideas (ex: after I code the function for the gray nav buttons, I have to code functions that make the white buttons work - but this ends up screwing with the ad cycles). I tried making them as movie clips, but I lose the ability to assign a large hit area like I can with buttons.

Actionscript 3 :: Reordering An Array Collection Based On Another Array Collection Hierarchy?

Sep 16, 2011

I have an array, crewPositionsAC that contains a list of position abreviatations - EP, PR, DR, WR, and so on. These positions are read in through an XML file each time my flex application loads. Also being populated from an XML is a project. Within a project, there are positions (a student assigned to a type of position listed within crewPositionsAC). These positions are not necessarily in the correct hierarchy order dictated by crewPositionsAC. I have all the positions within an ArrayCollection (positionsAC) with the following structure:

positionsAC (arrayCollection)
[0] = Array
[0] = startOffset
[1] = numDays

[code].....

Then, the user can click a button to add another position. When the "Add Crew Member" button is pressed, the user is presented with a list of possible positions to add. Currently, I simply add another array to positionsAC. This results in the recently added crew member to placed on the bottom of the list. I need to take positionsAC and reorder it based on it's [2] item (role) based on the hierarchy defined in the crewPositionsAC. crewPositionsAC has the following structure:

crewPositionsAC:
[0] = EP
[1] = PR
[2] = DR
[3] = WR

* continue until all possible position types are listed

ActionScript 3.0 :: Insert Images Based On An Array?

Apr 14, 2009

I have a project that was dumped on my lap, and my knowledge of Actionscript is very limited.

The scenario is that the user is presented with a floormap of a building that should show a red dot denoting where each employee sits (based on X,Y coordinates on the floormap).

The employees' profiles (name, telephone, X/Y coordinates) are stored in a database.

One our our programmers managed to load the users into a Flash object array. Now, it's my turn to add some actionscript to place a red dot on the floormap for each and every user in that array based on their x/y coordinates.[code]...
