Having major issues with the best way to assign the good objects and the bad objects to later update a score.
how i can first assign the movieClips from the library into a good and bad array and then after randomally fill the stage with them.
I am having trouble on my Flash assignment which due on Monday, for the assignment, I am goingt to make a game, similar to the classic aracade game, Asteroids. They provided some basic code for the timing and rotation of asteroids, the behavior of the asteroids is appear randomly (but not moving) in the stage every five seconds with rotation, that's already been done by the code provided.

View 6 RepliesAny hints for making magnetic buttons/mc? i.e. buttons/mc's float randomly around stage. When the mouse is within a certain range/distance the buttons speed up towards the mouse's position. When the user moves the mouse off the button again, it carries on it's random motion again.

Code:

var newObj:MyObj=new MyObj();
//this places them randomly outside of the stage

I want the final result to be a stage with a certain number of circle MC's moving around. I have made the circle MC, and added the AS so that it will start at a random point with a random color, then start moving around randomly. I want to make it so that In the beginning the document will duplicate the movie clip x amount of times, using a for loop. I want to then have all the new circles move around, and when two circles hit each other, they will dissappear, using the removeclip function. You can only use this on duplicated movieclips though, so how would i make all the circles duplicated? Is there a way to duplicate the original movieclip x amount of times then delete it? Or is there a way to remove the original after it is in a collision? Also I don't know how to do the collision detection. I am thinking of using a hittest, but would I just do it with a for loop? Is there a way so that if an MC hits any other MC?
View 3 RepliesI want a prev / next buttons that brings the one of the carousel images to the center of the stage. Then when clicked again, it moves to the next one. I know that I have to have a code in my button release that checks the focus of the icon and brings it to the center if clicked. I have my buttons in place and everything is working great except calling the next icon over.

I'm trying to import a movie clip from the library to the stage and give it an instance name but im not really sure how to do it.I exported the movie clip to actionscript and gave it a unique class name, but how can i add it to the stage and give it a unique instance name?
View 3 RepliesI was wanting to load different movieclips from within my library onto the stage of my main movie when the user mouses over a button. Each movie clip that I was wanting to load is the same size and also are to load into the exact same location as one another.I think I can do this by setting up an empty movie clip on the stage and scripting it so they all load into it? Is this right?

the problem I've encountered on the home pg flash is that two big buttons and a bike animation should display prior to the photos loading. However, in firefox on both mac and pc(but not everyone's) when you refresh the pg such that it draws from the browser's cache, the buttons and bike animation do not display. Oddly, the photos still load consitently and in time as if those animations did take place. "oddly" because, the code to load the photos is part of an event listener, listening for the completion of the bike animation. So the code executes properly, despite the movieclips not appearing on stage(these movieclips are in library to begin and in my documnt class I instatiate them as follows:
realtors_btn = new RealtorsButton();
buyers_btn = new BuyersButton();
bike = new Bike(X-150);

also, originally I had this same issue in IE, but after switching from swfObject 2.0 to adobe's ac_runactivecontent.js method, I elliminated the issue in IE.
I took on a small AS2 project, which I shouldn't but did anyway. I know AS3, but AS2 is foreign. I am trying to add 3 movieclips from the library, to the stage. Only the last one shows up, and the others disappear. Every time I do an attachMovie, the previous ones disappear.

how to make the random MCs appear from the library. And should I put the random moving script on each of my ten MC?
I have movie clips in the timeline and i would like them to move randomly every 10 seconds. by randomly i move, i want each movie clip to move every 10 seconds. So each movie clip will have a movement inside of it by tweening.
so will do something like
mc1.gotoAndPlay(1);
i will create a function to call mc1 and play but i will do this every 10 seconds.
I am trying to make a banner like item for a website I am working on, I have 1 external text file 4 external swf's and 1 external .jpg that I am trying to get to do this: On page load display img1.jpg for 60 seconds and then randomly select a number and then display the file that is associated with that number, for 60 seconds, and do it again, and again until all of the text and swf files have been displayed and then start over from the beginning,
Now I can get it to select a random number and then pull up a file that is associated with that number with this code. I have shortened the time to see it work but still no avail

It is applied to the movie clip. I am having trouble figuring out how to STOP to action. I want it to stop after 10 seconds. How do I do this?
I have a simple code:

I am wondering if when the user clicks, is there any way to delay this action from occurring for a few seconds? For example, if the user clicks, this action won't happen for 2 seconds. Is there any code I can add before or around it to make this happen?

e.t.c and there are 20 mc's that I need to tween. Obviously don't want to have mountains of nested code, If you could set out the syntax in your replies that would be great as otherwise I probably won't understand!
I need to have a series of four numbers appear randomly with fade in and out and stay on screen for a couple of seconds each. These are then linked through to separate movie instances that display relevant information regarding that number and then go back to the random numbers. There are options to randomly display text from an external file, but not library objects within the same movie. I have a cobbled together version using scenes and timeline animation, but it's repetitive. It needs to be more random and effective as a visual element.
View 2 RepliesI want a scene to play for 10 seconds before playing the next scene and have no idea how to do this using script (action script 2). I know I can just extend the timeline out so it takes 10 seconds for the scene to play through, but I'd prefer to do it with script.
View 5 RepliesI'm experiencing an annoying issue with a movie clip button. The movie clip is linked to a class which adds a rollover and rollout effect. The issue I'm having is that, even though the button is in frame 1, the button doesn't react to the mouse for some seconds into the movie. The only thing I can think is that it's the class itself, but I'm not certain. Here's the class:-

The slideshow on the left is the one I'm talking about, not the Flash video on right.
Anyway, to make it work, I added a whole bunch of frames between the moving images to pause it - to give reader time to see pictures and words - then it goes on to next one. instead of doing it this way, I am wondering if I can just put an action of some kind on a frame to tell it to pause for X number of seconds, then play again?
In a certain part of my movie i want it to go from scene 1 to scene 3 but for the life of me i cant remember what the script for that would be, and i figure since it was AS 2.0, its changed by now, and in scene 3 i want an mc that has sound in it to be muted but not the whole movie.

I was doing some assignments in my as3 textbook when I ran into a bit of trouble. I'm trying to make a flash that picks 3 random questions out of a total of 10 and displays them on screen. I made each of the questions movieclips and assigned them all a class (question1 - 10) through Linkage. So the variable "randomQ" is the name of the class of a random question, but how do I get flash to understand that? And how do I spawn that question as a movieclip on stage?
Code:
var Question:MovieClip = new randomQ();
I've tried various alterations but can't seem to find the right one. It's possible I've yet to learn the necessary knowledge in order to make this flash.
I have a mc call mcA which visible and invisible alternatively on stage. I want to attach 10 mc (mc1-mc10) in library with this mcA. When mcA is visible it will attach mc4 in library then it is invisible again. The next time it is visible, it attach let say mc7 and so on, we do not know which mc it will attach in the next session it is visible.

View 3 RepliesI'm working on a rather large project at work using CS5 Flash. The project involves loading several .swf files at different times from a main 'hub' type structure. Think of it as a multi-channel platform and when you click on the channel you want, it loads the sub-swf with the videos and movie clip contents/as code in it.
As one can imagine, this has cause the overall project to grow quite huge. When we open up the main fla file that contains the library content of it's children fla's, some files will randomly go missing. These files are being shared over a network with various people via a file repository system so no two people can be working on the same file at the same time. This doesn't appear to be the problem, nor is accidental deletion as an individual can check out the files, work on them locally, save them locally, close and reopen them locally and random content will be missing again.
We believe that the issue may have to do with the overall size of the fla's (the fla's range in size from 16mb to 3mb). They will be playing as stand alone objects, not on a website so other outside content isn't an issue. Some of the computers being used are 64 bit system while others are 32 but all systems have had the issue. We are also using AIR to help with some of the functionality but this issue started before we started using AIR.
