ActionScript 2.0 :: AttachMovie Randomly WITHIN A Specific Shape?
Nov 2, 2010
I'm currently using a script I picked up from these forums to attach movieclips from the library based on how many child's there are in an XML document.I was wondering if it was possible though, to have each movieclip placed in a random location on the stage; but restrict that random location to a SHAPE I draw? For example if I drew a giant star, and wanted the movieclips to randomly attach anywhere within the boundaries of the star?
I know there are methods of restricting the random placement by using x and y values to keep it below or above a certain line, but is it possible to restrict placement within custom drawn shapes?
Here is the script I'm using atm:
Code:
function loadXML(true) {
if (true) {
xmlNode = this.firstChild;
title = [];
[code]....

If you go to [URL] and check out the preloaders on the various pages, you'll see that when it reaches 100% many circles are randomly resized to eventually cover the whole preloader. I'm trying to do something similar to that effect using just Actionscript.

I have 3 pages of a document converted to symbols (i.e. mc_pg1, mc_pg2, mc_pg3), each residing in its own frame (i.e. "pg1", "pg2", "pg3") inside mc_Pages. Mc_pg1, mc_pg2, and mc_pg3 are inside a movieclip called mc_Pages. On click of mc_Pages, I am attaching a blinking icon (mc_Target) to a specific page. The problem I'm having is when I attach mc_Target to a specific mc in its frame, navigate to another frame, and then return to the initial frame, mc_Target is no longer attached. Yet, I have not clicked anywhere else other than the buttons that allow me to navigate from one frame to another. So, my code is:
mc_Pages.onPress = function():Void
{
if(varPg1 == true) //this checks to see if I'm on "pg1" frame where mc_pg1 is located
{
[code]....
Everything is working as it should, i.e. on press of the mouse button, the mc_Target is attached to the frame/mc within mc_Pages that I'm in (I have a btn_Next and btn_Previous on the same timeline as mc_Pages that navigates to the specific frames inside mc_Pages), except that upon returning to a frame/mc which previously had mc_Target attached, mc_Target is no longer there.

I am developing a mini flash game. Player control character and move left and right to collect money coin. There are 5 points that money and bomb release and move from top to bottom. When character collide with money then increase money else hit bomb age increase by 1. Once the age is 99, the game is over and the money is the final scores
Here is my code:
package Class {
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.events.KeyboardEvent;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import flash.media.Sound;
[Code] .....
This is my Game:
Currently, the bomb and money random appear X, 100 with 15 money and 10 bombs in a screen.
What I want is, how to amend it become money and bomb appear from specific point, after that the money and bomb when hit the wall will bounce back.
An example similar game play with my game is [URL].

Array of color id-s represents a 3D Array of values. I've represented each value with a color(Blue is 1, Red is 2 and Green is 3). So for the example the array for the image would be:
ActionScript Code:
var myColorArray:Array = [];
myColorArray = [
[0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0],
[code]....
Now, I have an array of predefined shapes/objects. I'd like to replace the grouped colors with the shapes that I have. I'd like this to follow the rule of finding the largest shape first and then down to the smallest one.Now let's assume that the L shape is A, the Z shape is B, the third one is C and the last one is D. Now our new Object array would look like:
ActionScript Code:
var myObjectArray:Array = [];
myObjectArray = [
[0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0],
[code]...

I've never used the drawing function on Flash and I followed the fairly simple tute on it just recently. Is there any way to confine the drawing area to a specific shape. Mine's a rectangluar shape that's rotated. You can download my FLA with the background image here > [URL]. I'd like to try and keep it confined to the notepad area. I think it might be a hitTest thing with if/else. My other thing would be to just rotate the notepad so that it's straight. Even still I'd like it confined to the area beginning with the corner of the notepad, not the corner of my movie.

I have a flash ecard that I am working on and had one of those "wouldn't it be cool if..." moments!
I would like find out if it is possible to:
1) load in an xml file that contains several names
2) Load each one of those names into a predefined movie clip which would display the name
3) randomize the placement of each name in a given shape area so that the Movie clips with names would randomly fill in to make a specific shape.

I'm working on making a nitrogen tank that inflates a balloon a little bit more every time you click the tank. How do you set it up to go to a specific shape tween each time it is clicked, and then have it stop and make a reset button appear?

1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: Shape. 1180: Call to a possibly undefined method Shape. What does it mean by "undefined method"? I am somewhat of a newby, so sorry if there are any stupid errors

using the shape tool you can draw basic shapesthen using the subselection tool you can re-shape them by relocating certain points
What i want to do is create a tween whereby one of the points is movedthe problem is you have to convert to a symbol first and after you have done that you cant change the shapes shape.so how do i go about using a motion tween to change the shape of a shape?

Attach Code
function hitButton(btn) {

I have a sliding menu, and need to loadMovies when specific clips are in specific positions. For gallery, for example, the code I'm using is:
if (xTargetSLI = 350){
loadMovie ("gallery.swf", 1);
}
But with that code, gallery.swf loads by itself, regardless of the position of SLI.

Basically once my animation loads I want to pull in an external SWF at a specific frame, basically like the "home page" swf that will display first. Underneath that I will have "About Us, Contact, etc..." and those will each load an external SWF into my movie clip. My movieclip right now is called mcHolder.
