ActionScript 2.0 :: Checking Mc's Based On X And Y Cords
Feb 14, 2005
I have a series of mc's that are in a grid position and another set on top. I want to move the ones on top to different positions over the others but I want to check to see if one is already there. I dont' want to use hitTest, it doesn't work for what I want to do. I want to position my top mc's base on the x and y positions of the bottom mc's. How do I check a mc for a value if all my names start the same, i.e. mc_ and end in numbers that represent their position, i.e. mc_12070. I was thinking something like:
newY = this._y - 50;
newX = this._x;
but how would I call the clip?
_root.mc_+newY+newX
what is the syntax to make that work?

I have an application where I need to detect if the mouse is less than 200 px from the left sie of the screen, then play an animation... Once the mouse is moved back out of the 200 px area I want the animation to reverse.I'm using the Tween Class for animation and have been messing around with onclipevents with no luck like:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if(_xmouse <= 200)
{
_root.theSwitch = "on";
[code]....
This will obviously produce a million "on" traces when the mouse is over there - what is the best method for detecting the change once, setting a variable, then playing the animation?

I have created a flash whack-a-mole game, and coded the 9 different x and y cordinates the 4 moles can come up on. But I can't code it so that the moles can never have the same x and y cordinates.I have tried this code: (Barney and mulvarp is two moles. .flytt(); is the command that gives the mole a new place to be.[code]I got an advice on maybe using this and call returnFourPositionsF(); but I am unsure on how to put all the moles into one, since they all have different timers, and I don't want them to change position even tho only one is changing.

I have a piece of code worked out that creates circles on a mouseDown function. I'm trying to save the x and y cords of the circles but cannot figure out a way around this. I need to save multiple instances of the cords from mouseDown.
Is it possible to do this in an array?
var posOne:Number;
//var posTwo:Number;
//var posThree:Number;

I'm working in Actionscript 3, but this is pretty general.I'd like to make a simple function that I can call, e.g. GiveCords(Width, Height, Num) that will take a width and height, map that out and using the Num variable place the given amount evenly across the space.Say I give it a value of 500, 500, 1. I'd expect it to return an X, Y position of 250, 250.But I'd like it to return an array of given points with X, Y.So If I gave it 10 points, it would find the best position for them all to be of even distance apart from each other.

[MX] I'm loading an infinitly scrolling swf into my main swf. When it loads however it doesn't work properly, because all the pixel values in the origonal code do not match for its location in the main movie. I know I can change the AS with new value and make it work, but I am wondering if there is another way. I'd like to be able to move it around and always have it work without changing it. Is there a way I can have the loaded swf retain its OWN origonal x,y cords? or some other method of doing this?

I just discovered impure.com and was very impressed by what can be achieved in terms of visualizing data using their workspace. Although the platform is free to use, but not open source yet. This causes a few problems because the API section works with .com sites for eg. for ebay, so I cannot visualize ebay listings for regional sites such as ebay.in because the link to ebay.com is hardcoded.I searched around, but didn't find other projects that offer a similar way to work with site APIs and other data sources with the kind of user interface and detail that impure.com does in a realtime way within a browser window.This brings me to the questions:
-What technologies would be involved in creating a similar kind of project
-What are the open source tools that can help develop a fullscreen UI to render the workspace. Are there any alternatives to flash for this, and how do they compare
The goal would be to use standard python data structures, python scripts to do some processing on these data structures, scripts to gather data from csv, json and API sources such as google yahoo, wikipedia and flickr, and scripts to render graphs, tag clouds, network visualizations etc. Then bring them all together into a visual interface that supports drag drop and simple type checking.How would the python backend integrate with the UI.

I'm relatively new to AS3. There's one thing that I don't quite understand about Sprites. I'm making a tile based game, and all the tile graphics for a level are inside one movie clip in each frame. Would I be able to go about creating multiple sprites based on the frames in said movieclip's timeline I would I have to go through and make a separate library graphic for each.

I have a gallery loading jpegs from an xml file into a mc called mainPicArea, on frame 5. I have other content on frames 1,2,3,4,6,7.
I want to run an if statement to check whether mainPicAreaexists and if it does, then run a removeChild(mainPicArea), and if not do nothing.
[AS]
if (MovieClip.mainPicArea){
trace("exists");
//removeChild(mainPicArea);
[code]....
When I test, it comes back with the trace "doesent exist", even though it does exist.

I must admit I have struggled with this thing for a bit. It seems simple but for whatever reason I can't get it to work. I just want to make something move in AS 3 right now, and so far I've tried puzzling together two different tutorials, but both of them are missing either some source files or further explanation.
Anyway, here is the code (The bit I am having problems with)
Code:
//event listener checks for key presses
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, checkkey);
//Create keyHandler function
[Code].....
The problem is the checkkey function in the update function. If I leave the parenthesis empty it tells me it needs an argument, if I leave it like that it tells me I need a right paren before colon.

What kind of code would one need to check for collisions between two symbols? I am hoping to become a game designer so this is important for future references.

why this code works on my other flash file and it doesnt on the new one. This is the code:
if (test == "PRIZE1"){
trace ("prizes/prize1.jpg");
}
[Code].....
Basically it should check whther the variable has any of the above words loaded on it dynamically so that it loads a movie that corresponds to it. I put the trace on the above so I can track whther it was reading or not. Obviously it wasnt. My publish settings are Flash Player 8 with Actionscript 2.0

Google is ranking my site preety high BUT (bigBut) in MOST searches it lists my swf-s not html pages. So when clicked they are shown in a browser window as single swf-s, not as part of html page. I am trying to workaround this by means of some variable to inspect if swf is opened as standalone or within a html.Here is the problem. I've set up a swf (swf_01 for example) in html page that loads another swf (swf_02) which is in swf_s directory. Swf_01 establishes a variable _global.isActive = 1; when html loads swf_01. So if swf_02 is loaded into the swf_01 variable is TRUE and that is OK and if the swf_02 is loaded directly from search results as a standalone swf it's not OK. That works so far. In swf_02 there is a code that checkes if variable is undefined (meaning that swf is loaded directly from search results) and, if it is, loads the right html into "_self".Somehow it's not working. Maybe my code isn't right.
Code in swf_02 (loaded one):
/if(isActive==undefined){ loadMovie("http://www.mydomain.com/index_services.htm", "_self");} // meaning: if variable is not true > this swf is loaded into browser directly from search

I'm sure there is a very easy solution to my problem, but I haven't found it yet. My first frame consists of one input textfield, and two buttons. This textfield is sort of like entering a code to jump to another frame. "no" is a button if you don't have a code, and "go" is if you want to submit a code. Here is my Actionscript:
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
no.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, continueF);function continueF(e:MouseEvent):void{ nextFrame();

I need to know if it's possible to check to see if a variable contains any information or if it's just blank basically I have a text file on the server that may or may not have a url in it, I have my flash file programmed to grab the url from that text file and apply it to a button that when clicked brings up that URL...but that text file may not always have a URL in it, so for those times i want the button to not be clickable, or at least not attempt to go to a URL.

Each button has 3 different animations on the same timeline: one for when you mouseover, one for when you mouseout, and one for when you click. Each animation ends with a 'stop();" command, obviously. However, when someone mouses over, then out of a button quickly, it interrupts the "over" animation and begins the "out" one, which looks choppy and awful. I need a way that when I mouseover a movie clip, a variable within said clip changes to 0, and when I mouseout, it changes to 1.
The big problem comes with the fact that I have multiple buttons with listeners, all of which use the same generic function to respond to mouseover/mouseout events. Is there a way to set up a variable associated with each button, then call the specific variable within the generic function?
ActionScript Code:
button1.outcheck = 0;
button2.outcheck = 0;
button3.outcheck = 0;
[code]....
Is there a viable solution, or will I have to just rethink the entire animation?

I have two movieclips. I would like to check if both movieclips have been rollOvered and then do an action. You can't rollOver them at the same time. So, I need something like: if movieclip 1 has been rollOvered and movieclip 2 has been rollOvered (no matter what following order) , then do action.I tried this using booleans and an if statement but no luck.

I am trying to figure out how to check when the key "A - Z" is pressed...How can I use ASCII characters to check this?, or even if I check something like this
if(Key.isDown(Key("A")))
How to check when keys A-Z are pressed, preferably something like this
onKeyPress("A") = function() {
"run code"
}
Anyway to do this? Basically hotkeys, press "s" to call a line of function that will save the game.. etc...

i made my site with levels so there are lots of swf's being updated, and i cant seem to get some of them to work. i think that my problem is that the swf's are being stored on the cache so when i update them, it doesnt reconize that its a new swf
is there a way to put in code to when someone goes to my site, to check their cache to see if there are any newer versions of the swf they have on my server?
and if it is possible, MAYBE making it so i dont have to put it on EVERY button (but if thats the only way fine i will live)

I do math applications for the web. Often I have to check if a user input is correct. For example: the right answer is 3x+5. Is the user input that.I do this by checking character by character. I don't think that it is the best way, especially since the user may have written 5+3x, which is right, too, although it is preferred to write the other way around.I sometimes have to check more complicated expressions, like -3x^2+7x-15 or -2 sin (4x^2).Right now I'm doing an equation solving exercise. There I have to check what the user wants to do to the equation, like +2x or /(-5).

My page has 2 tab menus. When the page first loads, it defaults to the first tab, but when the second tab is hit, an image is loaded to the stage. I want to remove the image from the stage once the first tab is hit again.I keep getting the error "Access of undefined property Image1" but the whole point is to check if this child exists with the if statement.
//Tab 1
if (Image1 != undefined) {
stage.removeChild(Image1);

I want to use an external actionscript file for a set of variables for a movie I'm working on.
However, as I cannot guarantee that the external file would be available (it's for our sales reps to use on their own laptops) is there a way of testing for the #included file?
My idea is that the integrated script looks for the external file: if it finds that file, it is used. If the external file is unavailable, the internal script defaults to its own variables.

The problem I've found that I keep having and that is pretty recurring between a few of my classes is that several classes use addEventListeners for complete events on loaders, tweens, etc. The question I have is, how do I catch those events in the event that the instantiated class object is removed from the swf file? Because the eventListener keeps listening, for some reason(I assume the object is removed from the stage but garbage collector doesn't get it right away).
My current, most prominent example is this:I have a photo album that utilizes php to import filepaths on the server. There are basically 2 stages: one screen where all the albums are displayed, and another screen where all the images for a given selected album are displayed.
The problem is that when you click one of the albums, it loads all the images from that album and THEN transitions to the viewing page. This is good because it doesn't load all the images from all the albums.
The problem is, it's possible for the user to click one album, and really quickly, before the "album" page fades out, click another album.
If I've managed to not twist your brain inside out with this poor explanation, you may see that the loader object for the previously clicked "album" button will still be loading the one of the previous images. So, when the complete event for the loader is fired, I get this:
Error #2044: Unhandled IOErrorEvent:. text=Error #2124: Loaded file is an unknown type.
Which I assume, obviously, is 2 separate error events. I'm already using error catching that's working for another purpose, but I just can't catch these ones no matter where I put my catch statements. Any help?
Here's the code:
Code:
function clickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void
{
//////some stuff here
////////preps album images for display
[code]....
The first type error gets caught. It loops back through and works fine when you only click one button at a time, but otherwise it freaks out. I just don't know where to put the catch statement so that it just shuts up...
