ActionScript 2.0 :: Cs4 : Control Number Of Objects Falling At The Same Time?
Oct 25, 2011
I have a fixed amount of words. Lets say 20 words. I want each of these words to be put into symbols - so i have 20 symbols (box1...box20). Now i want the boxes to fall from the top of the screen and until they reach below the screen. But (and this is where i'm lost) I want to have them fall at different speeds AND I want to control how many boxes falls at a time. Starting out with one box and when this box is out of the screen I want to control the amount of boxes/symbols entering the screen next.
A function telling that next there should be i.e. three boxes entering and falling/floating across the screen (from just above the top of the screen untill they all have reached the bottom). And i want to be able to call a function which starts X boxes - even before the existing boxes in the scenes has dropped). It would be nice to have a function, ie. fallBox(3) , which may be called at any time.

[Code]...
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.

I have randomly placed 40 pennies on the stage using a for loop, as well as making some of them smaller. They all start at the top of the stage and, right now, all fall down the stage at the same time.My trouble is trying to get the larger pennies to fall faster than the smaller pennies. I'm not sure how to single them out by size to control the speed.here is the code I have. I am only 3 weeks into ActionScript so please be specific (maybe provide an actual sample of code to use).[code]

I am attempting to create a game that will simulate groceries coming down a conveyor belt. The player acts as a bagger and must click and drag the groceries into designated bags (one for cold food and one for non-cold food). When the correct choice is made the food will disappear and the score will increase +1.
I have become overwhelmed by thinking about how to do this and have not found helpful answers that actually work when I try to compile them so I decided to ask. how I can have random grocery items fall down the screen? I assumed I could create an array of movieclips and have them be called to fall down randomly, but I am not sure how this would work.

I am trying to make a game where you have random objects falling vertically and must land in a bucket. The bucket is controlled by the mouse(it follows the mouse).

What I have is a movieclip and a button in scene 1 (which is the main timeline).There is an actionscript layer also on the main timeline. what I want to do is when I click the button, it would do a nextFrame(); in the movieclip timeline instead of the main timeline.

mars.text = onEnterFrame = function (){ my_mc._x +=5 }
}

Working on my first complex game, and I'm not sure how to best approach this problem. I've got a submarine whose motion is controlled by the four arrow keys and which launches torpedoes via the space bar. After the sub shoots, I want the torpedo to be steerable with two other keys (probably Z for left and X for right), and at the same time, have arrow keys continue to control the ship.
First question, is this possible? I'm assuming I'll have to switch focus back and forth via code.
Second, what the best approach to setting this up? Attach listeners to the stage or to each object? If I chose the former, could i avoid focus issues by detecting which key was pressed and then manipulating the appropriate object?

I am making a flex application with .NET at back end (connection using WebORB and remote objects). I have five drop-down boxes in Flex component, each having unique values from different tables (e.g. city name, county name, user name, etc.).On page load (or can say creation create) I need to display these values so that users can select from the list. I was trying to get data using five remote objects (one for each drop down box.). I am wondering if there is way to get all data in one remote call.

I have an app that has text appended to a TextArea (TA). It automatically scrolls to keep the recent line added in view. Over time, this could be a lot. Do I have to worry about this? Is there an upper limit? And, if so, how can I prune the oldest lines of text?

I am using the flex flv player component and i want to be able to skip 5 seconds forward and backwards , at the moment from what i understand from the documents it is not acurate because the movie can only skip to keyframes sometimes making the skip 6 or 7 seconds. the same goes to cue points which the flv might miss the actual point if there is no keyframe there/ my question is there any other way to use the player in a more accurate manner ? since i see on the web players that can do these skipps

I have a popup that contains a TabNavigator control. The tabs are dynamically added to the TabNavigator when the popup loads. Is there a good way to tell when one of the tabs is loaded, from the tab itself?I have a tab that requires a service call to be made, and I don't want the service call to be made unless the user actually goes and clicks the tab to view it. I could notify the tab from the popup control itself when the TabNavigator index was changed, but that doesn't seem like a good way to go about doing it.

Does anyone know an url where I can get the current time as either a string or a number? Or how do I solve the problem that flash can't create an external time? Or does anybody have a
perl-file that they wouldn't mind sharing with me that could do the trick

I'm doing a simple hex converter with a input window(hex) and output window(dec)
Currently i'm using a simple script on a button to covert the hex to dec
on (release) {
outputBox = parseInt(inputBox, 16);
}
This is ok if you want to convert one hex number at a time, what i want to do is input lots of hex values (in the input window) and convert them to dec (to the output window) in one go.

I got a slideshow class, and in here I have a Number variable named "currentImage". This is changing(with the method currentImage += 1 when you click to the next image.
The problem is that when I trace currentImage (Event.ENTER_FRAME), it gives different values on odd and even frame numbers. On frame number 1 trace is 0, on frame number 2 trace is 1 and so on, on frame number 3 it is back to 0 and so on.
The slideshow works, but I got a function that resets the slideshow and this function is also using currentImage, this function doesn't work because of the changeing number.

I have some sounds in movie clips, this is because that is the only way to be able to select SYNC Stream mode (to keep the movie in sync with the narration). Thus I don't want to use Sound Objects because they can get out of sync... Is there any way to control volume (so I can mute) without using Sound Objects?
