As the title says, i would like to have an object which is nested beneath another objects depth set higher than that of one the is NOT nested. Is this possible if so how, may be real easy and im just over-looking it but
View 1 RepliesRecently I was trying to use hitTestPoint with a nested movieclip against another non-nested one. Then if the nested movieclip was found to collide with the the registration point of the other movieclip (shapeFlag was set to true of course), the nested movieclip would move down by 1 pixel until it wasn't colliding.[code]What happens is that the while statement doesn't kick in until the registration point of obj3 is over obj2, but it doesn't break until obj3 is not over the bounding box of obj. Alternatively, if I change obj1.obj2.y to obj3.y it does stop at the correct spot.Actually I guess the problem isn't obj2 being nested in obj1, the problem still occurs when it's taken out of obj1.
View 8 RepliesI have a picture of a mine which is nested within an object, nested within another object. Now what I want it that on the keypress of shift, I created mine image at the same position of the tank. The issue is that the main object that is nesting the mine moves, thus not creating at the the center, rather on that position of the object.
Here are how my images go by instance names;
1. Tank Stays in the center
//////
/////
1. Land (moves) -- 2b. map -- 3b. All objects that hitTest
|
2a. Objects

3b. All the objects that don't get hit (in here is mine.)
I have an object
obj = { a: 1, b: { c: 1, g: x, h: { j: {k: z} } } };
if I have an array of dynamic length ["a", "b", [...], "g" ]
How can I now update a.b.c.g ? example:
function set($target, $new_value, $array){
//magic
}
set(obj, y, ['b', 'g']);
[code]....
private var myObject:Object = new Object();
private var myArray:Array = new Array();
myObject[dynamic_name] = true;

I am trying to replace an Object inside my nested array (colArray) by using splice, the object acts as my player and will need to maneuver around the Array it's in. The Problem is splice doesn't appear to be showing anything in return, it comes up with an error saying: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.What am i doing wrong ? And how would i go with moving my playerObject around the array?
var gridContainerMC:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
var gridSize:Array = [col,row]; //Rows, Columns
var gridArray:Array = new Array();
var col:Number = 44;

can a shared local object (.sol) store nested arrays? like:
myArray = new Array([a, b, c], [1, 2, 3]);
I have two movie clips. The child movieclip is a button with rollover events which is nested inside the parent. I would like the parent to also have rollover events, but I understand that this is not possible in flash. I am familiar with two workarounds: event bubbling/delegation and the event listeners.
[Code]....
I am trying to set up a if function for a hit test. I am using action script 2.0 am coding all in one layer not within movie clips so dont give me code in that format unless nececary.I have a movie clip with instance name src_resolute and I have another movie clip that is nested inside another movie clip named endbar.What I am trying to do is when src_resolute hits endbar I want it do gotoandplay the next scene.The parrent movie clip of the nested movie clips instance name is background.If you need any more infromation let me know but basicly what I want to do is when my main character(src_resolute) makes contact with the nested movie clip(a movie clip I have drawn inside of another movie clip) I want it to jump to the next scene or more specificaly scene 4.
View 5 RepliesI have a button function the launches a small movieClip (like a window). Inside this movieClip is your typical keypad.
Code:
package com {
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.events.*;
public class Login extends MovieClip{
[Code].....
I'm trying to next a series of keypad buttons inside the new loginBox instance, so they'll be referenced as loginBox.key1 etc etc.
I want to set their x/y coordinates before they are added to the stage (loginBox.key1.x = 23) , but obviously they don't exist yet.
I'm missing the way to get around this. The very last line of the above code is my hack attempt so far, and it's still causing me problems.
If you have 5 or 6 different components in your library that you want to put inside of eachother from *.as files
I have 3 frames each with a movie clip called map_mc. Each different map_mc have different objects that call the CollisionDetect class. Heres whats happening. objects from frame 1 will start freaking out when I goto frame 2. How do I remove only the event listeners from objects only on frame 1?
I have been trying this.currentFrame but the problem is that all the objects are inside map_mc on the first frame so no matter what it will always be 1. On the other hand MovieClip(root).currentFrame will always give me the current frame but wont tell me what the objects frame is relative to the stage.What I want to do is have something to this effect:MovieClip(root).this.currentFrame would output that this object is on frame 1 and MovieClip(root).currentFrame will tell me that the stage is on frame 2 so I can remove the listeners accordingly.
So I have a bunch of objects (thumbnails) and I want every photo to be displayed on top of other photos once it's clicked. So what should I put inside the click handler inside the photo object?
View 1 RepliesSetting properties of a nested clip from the associated document class of the parent clip. I am developing a Jigsaw puzzle in Flash. I am developing a class for puzzle piece. The code of the PuzzlePiece class in given as follows.

Is it wrong to access it like that. The PuzzlePiece is the export for a puzzle clip. For the time being I am hard coding the dimension as 60. I have aloso uploaded the fla and as files. [URL].
I wrote this 9ball game a while back (never really finished it), and was showing it to a friend today. When a pool ball is rolling fast, less of it's mass should be touching the felt, therefore, less friction. As it slows down, there should be more contact with the felt, and therefore, more friction. Any realistic algorithm to use to adjust the friction higher as the balls slow down? [URL]

I'm making a flash game and I've come to a halt in my code. This is how the game works: Where ever the mouse is clicked, the player will run towards thats spot. It's on a field. The problem is, I want the player's size to decrease as he gets higher up on the field(as the y gets closer to 0), giving the illusion of depth. But for the life of me I cant get it working! Im quite new to AS3 so im not sure about all it's tricks, but here was my go at it.
[Code]...
When I run the code, my character's size stays the same when I go up and down, but goes all wobbly when i go at angles without any real order. Clearly it's not working.
I have been trying to change the depth of an object. I have only just started learning AS3, so I haven't looked into this yet.So far I have been using a trial-&-error method to try to get this piece of code to work which I found on a site, but I have not succeeded:
Code:
setChildIndex(example,numChildren-1);
I am putting this code in it's class, and I tried replacing the word example with 'this'. Can someone please help me? When I test the swf it comes up with this in output:
Code:
ArgumentError: Error #2025: The supplied DisplayObject must be a child of the caller.
at flash.display::DisplayObjectContainer/setChildIndex()
at Foreground/enterFrame()
I have a Flash application that includes an MC (bitmap object) that is dynamically assigned to a Class. In that Class, other graphics are created, but the class MC is overlapping those graphics. Event though I tried dynamic depth swapping, it generally works, yet not for the inherent MC assigned to the class. The MC still overlaps the other graphic, even if I have swapped that graphic to the top depth

View 1 Repliesmy designer made a fla file where he has animated layers loads of them. All the images inside those animations are loaded from outside the swf.

i have objects on my stage and when i rollover on each object he raize.exmeple u can see here (here i make only 2 objects):http: [url]....what i want to do is that all of the objects have the same depth but when one of my object rollovered and he start to raize get the top depth (up then other)
Code:
stop();
acceleration = 10[code].....
When I click on an object, I need it (technically it's parent object) to drop to the lowest level, but I'm having a heck of time. I've tried:
stage.setChildIndex(this, 0);
and
stage.swapChildrenAt(0, getChildIndex(this));
Which seem like they would both do what I want, but both of which get an Error #2006: The supplied index is out of bounds.
I've also tried:
stage.setChildIndex(e.target.parent, 0);
Which produces Error #2025: The supplied DisplayObject must be a child of the caller.
and stage.setChildIndex(this.parent, 0);
Which doesn't error, but also doesn't do what I want it to do.
I am drawing some lines in my program using
graphics.lineTo(xx, yy);
The program has a background image over which these lines are drawn.The problem which I am facing is that the image overshadows the lines and the lines are not visible to the user.Since these lines do not have an id, I am not sure as to how I can assign a depth to them?
I am getting a warning when i run my application flash builder burrito.the warning is Warning: Failed to place object at depth 1.
View 2 Repliesi'm attempting to cast an object's property as an actual property of another object. here's my object variable: var propObj:Object = {prop:"width", width:50}; now i want to assign the property of a sprite using that object's properties. var sp:Sprite = new Sprite(); sp.(propObj.prop as Sprite.property) = propObj.width; now, i'm not even going to try that because i know the compiler will explode all up in my face. but you should be able to see what i'm trying to do. why i'm trying to do it is because i'm reading in an XML file with an undetermined list of usable properties for specific objects. so instead of writing something like a huge switch statement to evaluate whether the XML file has a value for that specific property, i'm trying to assign properties dynamically based on what's available in the XML file. if what i'm trying to do is possible, what's the best way to do it?

1118: Implicit coercion of a value with static type Object to a possibly unrelated type flash.display:DisplayObject.
If I have an array, I can set the keys by doing the following:
var example:Array = new Array();
example[20] = "500,45";
example[324] = "432,23";
If I want to do something with Objects, how would I achieve this?I tried the following:
var example:Object = [{x:500, y:45}, {x:432, y:23}]; // Works but keys are 0 and 1
var example:Object = [20: {x:500, y:45}, 324: {x:432, y:23}]; // Compile errors
var example:Object = [20]: {x:500, y:45}, [324]: {x:432, y:23}; // Compile errors
var example:Object = [20] {x:500, y:45}, [324] {x:432, y:23}; // Compile errors
I understand I could do this:
var example:Object = {id20 : {x:500, y:45}, id324: {x:432, y:23} };
But it doesn't suit me.

I have a button control set up to switch my program from windowed mode to fullscreen, and back again.
This is just 2 buttons that alternate frames in a movieclip.
I was wondering if there was a way to keep the movieclip locked to the upper right corner of the program when the user switches between windowed and fullscreen modes.
The code for the buttons; if needed, is:
//Fullscreen button
on (press) { fscommand("FullScreen","True"); }on (release) { gotoAndStop(2); }
//Window button
on (press) { fscommand("FullScreen","False"); }on (release) { gotoAndStop(1); }
