I have this movie where there are dynamic buttons generated. When you click on one, a window(movieclip) slides in over them. All is well and good. However, the window covering the buttons does not stop you from being able to click through it and onto the buttons below. Is these anyway to tell the window to disallow this, or am I going to have to loop through the buttons and disable them when the window is open?
View 3 Replieshow to detect clicks on various movieclips I am generating. Basically I am allowing the user to attach an arbitrary number of instances of the same movie clip. I would like each instance to A) be clickable and B) pass its reference to the click-handling routine.
For example I have something like this:
function addMissile() {
this.attachMovie("missile", "missile"+mtop, this.getNextHighestDepth(), {_x:startx, _y:starty});
[Code]....
I want to add a callback on-click for each of these movie clip instances.
I am trying to change the z-index when you a user clicks on one of my movieclips. I get this error and am not sure how to resolve it. If anyone has a few minutes to view the code I posted below that would be awesome.
Here is the error I am getting:
TypeError: Error #2007: Parameter child must be non-null.
[Code].....
This seems like someting I should already know but I am working on a user interface that I want to be skinable. I have about 8 different graphical elements and I want to change the appearance of these 8 different movieClips just by clicking a single button. I thought I would just create a new keyframe in my main time line and then manipulate the movieClips but that changed the appearance of the movie clip on frame 1 as well. Clarification: I want to change the color of my user interface background and I want to change the color of some clickable images as well. I want frame 1 to have a white background and I want frame 2 to have a red background. Do I need to create more movie clips and drag them onto my stage or can I just use the existing movieClips since all I really want to do is change colors?
View 5 RepliesI have some code here for some falling leaves. I was wondering how it can be altered so there is a delay between a group of leaves falling and the next group falling? also to slow down at the end of the fall? [code]
View 9 RepliesI'm building a project that has a character navigate through a room by clicking on the floor. Right now, the walls, character, and floor are all children of the same display object for sorting purposes. My question: is there a way to disable mouse clicks to the walls and character while allowing clicks to the floor? Using mouseChildren appears to be an all or nothing deal and I can't seem to isolate individual floor/wall/character objects for use with mouseEnabled.
View 4 RepliesI did the excellent tutorial on Falling Snow for Flash CS4/AS3 on this website.I now want to add further graphics and animations to the snow for an e-card I'm creating.I have tried to add to the timeline and animate a logo, but then the snow just flashes on and off in one piece. Is there a way I can make the snow fall, say, halfway through my animation so I can add other things to it?
View 3 RepliesI am using Flash CS5, Actionscript 3.0 and trying to get the Falling snow 3.0 to work. Is it me or can other of you get this tutorial to work.
View 1 RepliesI have just finished the falling snow tutorial which works perfectly. However I am unable to make it stop once it reaches a certain frame.
View 2 RepliesI have this code that I got from this site and I figured out how to stop the falling snow but it just disappears with remove moviclip function. Is there any way to have the snow fall to an end instead of just disappear? So it looks more natural? I would even take a fade to alpha =0. I have attached the .fla file for viewing.
View 9 RepliesI've done the tutorial on falling snow but what I really want it to do is fall upwards... like bubbles on water.what part of the code I need to change...
View 6 RepliesI'm using Flash MX and am following the falling snow tutorial in the actionscript section. What I'd like is for the snow to move from right to left, but still with the random y position.This code gives me snow (particle) moving right, left, and right again but most ends up along the top (y value of 0).
onClipEvent (load) {
//specifies the size of the movie stage
movieWidth = 131;[code]....
is it possible to have the snow moving from right to left?someone had designed something completly sideways as they were rotating there monitor 90 degrees instead of buying a video card that would do it for them.
View 3 RepliesI want the snow to build up st the bottom of the file like it would in real life.[code]
View 2 RepliesYou notice that their are 'particles' falling from the position of the mouse but for some sort of stupid reason they get stuck at a certain point in time.
Also, the three white bars are dragable, but i want them to swing back in to place when you release them. Is this also possible with a tween ? or do i need to code something physic-like.[code]...
I'd like to ask if anyone knows how to create words (example Merry Christmas) from falling snow. I'm trying to build a xmas card and the customer wants the wishes to be created from the snow leafs.
View 2 RepliesI'm not very knowledgeable in terms of actionscript and I would like to know how I would go about into modifying a function that is currently running?I'm using falling snow 3.0 in the first frame of a movie :
Code:
init = function () {
width = 300;
[code].....
The actionscript is applied on my FLA successfully. Here is a brief description :(a) frame 01 to 30 : without snow effect(b) frame 31 to 99 : snow effect appliedThere is no problem at all when the SWF is run for the first time.
View 1 Repliestake a look at my fla file? There has got to be an easier way of reproducing my snowflake movie clip? I don't want to get bogged down with AS just want a very simple example of falling snow. Using CS5 and CS5.5. Novice so please keep it simple to follow.
View 3 Repliesi am creating a game where the user has to collect random falling objects from sky .. i canot get the objects to fall random and be collected with a hittest
View 3 RepliesThis project I am working on needs a top view on a snowstorm. I was thinking I can use code similar to a starfield coming at you, and then modifying it so that the objects start from around you and fall towards the center. (opposite direction). However, when I change the code the way I believe I need to, I get the right thing to happen but not to regenerate. It happens only once, and once they reach the center, they don't recreate around the edges of the screen. Here is the code I am using from a simple starfield tutorial:
_global.ppDist = 700;
_global.speed = 50;
//update function to handle perspective projection and scaling

how this tutoiral works:[URL].. i understand the ideas behind the script and what you are asking flash to do. the thing is my maths isnt that great. if someone could explain how some of the equations work, that would be excellent
examples: this._alpha = 20+Math.random()*50; ok, randomising alpha. got it. but where do these numbers come from? how did you reach them?
[Code]...
I need to animate little blocks to fall down when rollovered... but i want them to start falling and keep falling once mouse hittests with it... so when the mouse isn't over the clip... it keeps falling... does anyone know how i can do this? and if anyone knows some good actionscript for elastic falling with slight rotation that would be sweet....
View 5 RepliesOk I want to create a falling items game, but how do you code the falling movie clips? sorta like catch the money, or something like that.
View 6 RepliesI made a flash movie with snow falling from the sky in Flash 8 (actionscript 2.0). However, the snow I made differs from the original. The original is here: [URL]. I put mine here: [URL]. You will notice that my snow only falls downward: there is no randomness for the flakes to go left or right. There is no movement. Where in the script below can I change that so that there's more movement for the flakes?
I use the following script for the snow itself:
onClipEvent (load) {
//specifies the size of the movie stage
movieWidth = 300;
movieHeight = 200;
//variables that will modify the falling snow
[Code] .....
And on the first frame of my movie I put the following:
for (k=0; k<50; k++) {
duplicateMovieClip(this.snow, "snow"+k, k);
}

I have a serious problem with Action Script. I'm about to code a new Jump&Run game with a simple gravitation Engine. And this is where I got my problem I can not solve! When moving the player through the levels, I want to move the layers instead of him. So the player stays somehow where he is but the enemies, ground, items ... move around - as in most of these games. The gravitation is intendet to affect every item/enemy (by ENTER_FRAME) and moves every object downwards until it hits the ground.
The problem is, objects of different Layers somehow don't get the right hitTest information. So when having two objects - the first on the same layer as the ground, moving both, everything is fine. But as soon as I put the object into a separate container like "itemsContainer:MovieClip" and I move that, the object doesn't get the right result for hitTestPoints. (Maybe it has something to do with localToGlobal??)

I'm trying to develop a SWF Api that consists of a game that makes random objects fall from the top, each of them has different points, and then the points the player gets should be stored into a dinamic text called score, when the player doesn't take the ball, loses a life. Then, if the player catches it, the ball disappears and gives the points to the player.
View 3 RepliesI found a actionscript for falling snow. Problem is, I have some art that I want in front of the falling snow and can't figure out how or where to put the mask layer. Also, the more the test scene runs, the more snow gradually starts falling until I have a blizzard and can't see anything.
View 3 RepliesI have an application where circles randomly fall from the top of the stage to the bottom.As a circle nears the bottom, it falls such that it moves on top of the border of the bottom of the stage and continues falling until I eventually destroy it by checking its y value.wever, what I would like to happen is for it to fall "into" the bottom of the stage meaning it falls behind the bottom border as opposed to falling on top of the border.
View 3 RepliesI created a movie in flash cs4 with three scenes. In the first scene I created a snowfall effect with AS2 (code below) with actions on the movie clip and on the timeline: I created a snowflake named winter with an Instance name of snow and applied the code directly to the clip:
onClipEvent (load) {
movieWidth = 1024;
movieHeight = 768;
i = 2+Math.random()*9;
[Code]...
The snow works perfectly, but it continues on through the next two scenes and I can make it stop. I almost decided to take 40 snowflakes each with thier own custom motion tween and a loop to create a similar effect, but I'm sure there is a easier way.
