I have a problem with my hittest
for(var i in _root.ferry.perimeter) {
var point = new Object();
point.x = _root.ferry.perimeter[i]._x;
[code]....
the problem is that the hit becomes true when the object isn't hitting anything for instance if the object was moving across the screen the hit randomly becomes true.I have another hitest in the same project which works fine.
How do i get the hitTest() function to test if a certain symbol is hitting another symbol, but, only if drawn parts of the symbol are touching, not thier outer bounds.
View 1 RepliesI've done the fading grid tutorial at: [URL], but I was wondering if someone knew how to make the grid fade in diagonally from the left or right top corners (or bottom corners too) like this site [URL]. I also have another question with the fading grid, does anyone know how to make the grid fade in from random spots on the movie clip instead of the left to right, up to down, etc. way?? I'd really like to see that effect happen, if possible.

When I test a flash file by hitting "ctrl+Enter" it creates a .swf in same directory as my .fla. does the resulting .swf file actually use the selected publish settings of my .fla file? Or when creating an .swf by "ctrl+enter" does it only use a "default" setting?

View 2 RepliesI have just created a flash navigation menu in which I imported to dreamweaver to link with the rest of my website. But if I want to test the buttons to see if they work on my system (localhost) and not on a random website, what url do I put? Or do I have to wait until I put my pages on the server and simply paste in the address?

how one would go about adding hot spots (hyper links) in video - as it is playing; be able to click on certain items and be taken to that landing page etc...
View 3 Repliesis there a way to view all of the hit spots with in the project at the same time? I have multiple hit spots attached to various buttons and it would be ideal to view them all at the same time to ensure I am not overlapping.
View 8 RepliesIm trying to make a furniture dragging utility on these floor plans and i'm kind of stuck. I will have more than one piece of furniture (if u look in the library there is more) that i want to drag instances of from spots on the right onto the floor plan. the problem i'm having is that my dragging functions arent working/duplicating the clips properly. after the clips has been dragged on to the floor plan (duplicated and dragged there), it needs to still be draggable so if they decide to move it they can drag the duplicated instance anywhere they want it. the right side is like a "key" lets say, of available furniture and by clicking and dragging one out it puts it on the floor plan but the default instance still stays on the right.
i will also be adding a rotate function later for the dragged out furniture, i can figure stuff out later where is houdl be putting the rotation code.

I am trying to add a single MovieClip in two different spots on my stage. I've added the first by using addChild but I have no idea about how I would also add the second. Basically, it's a button that the user interacts with using a keypress, but in two different spots.
View 3 RepliesSo I am loading clips and images into a swf file for a portfolio site. As I test the site to debug I sometimes get a #1009 error and sometime I don't. Even when I test without changing anything and go through the exact same sequence of actions to try and get the error again it only throws the error about half the time.
I don't understand why it would do this at all since the file works flawlessly sometimes so my code is accurate. Any ideas? I have heard about display lists before and wonder if maybe that might have something to do with but I don't know what a display realy is or how to make sure that things are on it... I'm confused. Here is the error it tosses: TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at 00000schmackLabIndexFINAL_fla::MainTimeline/loadMask() at 00000schmackLabIndexFINAL_fla::MainTimeline/frame208()
I thought this bit of code was pretty interesting - it is used to set up my "light organ" movie (see my previous post) to arrange the spots in a pattern resembling the seeds on a sunflower.
It's one of the few times where I've actually needed to use PI, E, and Phi (the golden ratio) in the same algorithm. So many magic numbers, so little time.

First of all , how can i change that "stub1.swf" to change its value like stub1.swf, stub2.swf stub3.swf etc. Also, it doesnt seem to create multiple movieclips; it only makes the one.
I need a small help on Flex Line Chart. I am using FlashBuilder 4 and doing a simple application in flex. I am displaying a graph with 10 random values and based on the values i am trying to change the itemrenderer values like CandlestickItemRenderer and BoxItemRenderer. Now my requirement was, if the values are > 10 i want to show my chart with CandlestickItemRenderer else i want to show the remaining spots as BoxItemRenderer. I am failing to do this. Either i am getting all the shapes as BoxItemRenderer or CandlestickItemRenderer. i am sending the code as a text file along with this.
View 4 RepliesI'm trying to test a custom Flex 4 skinnable component, using the FlexUnit UIImpersonator class. If I run my tests from a FlashBuilder Spark only project everything works fine. If I try to test from a project with the mx component set on the classpath I get a "getElementIndex not available in non Flex 4 projects" error.Can I unit test spark components in FlexUnits visual test environment while still having the mx component set on the classpath?
UIImpersonator delegates it's method calls to a "testEnvironment".The implementation used for this "testEnvironment" is decided by the VisualTest EnvironmentBuilder class and the FlexEnvironmentBuilder class. If the FlexEnvironmentBuilder class can find the "mx.core.Container" on the classpath it returns a MX environment, else a Spark environment. Only the spark environment has valid implementations for Flex 4 relevant method calls on the UIImpersonator - like the addElement method.
My buttons only work when I click on them on the stage while having the "enable simple buttons" option on. They do not work if I try to "test movie," "test scene" and publish it to a SWF. Nothing responds whenever I am in these modes. I am using Adobe Flash Professional CS5 Actionscript 2.0.

View 5 RepliesI have two scenes in my flash file and in scene 1, first button takes you to frame 2 where movie clip is -works
on (release) {
gotoAndStop("scene1",2);
}
second button takes you to frame 3
but on scene 2 that performs same function as scene 1, the first button
on(press){
gotoAndStop("scene2",2);
}
instead of going to frame 2 goes to frame 3. and the second button goes correctly to frame 3.that happens when i test scene! when i test movie all buttons work properly.
In FlexUnit 1 it is possible to access the name of the currently-running test using the TestCase.getName() method because all tests subclass TestCase. In FlexUnit 4, however, there's no base class for tests; the tests are identified by annotations. So, how can I replicate the getName() functionality in FlexUnit 4?
