I am using Flash CS3 with AS2 and I have made a drag and drop. Everything works fine, but I don't know how to make my movie clips snap to their targets.[code]
View 3 RepliesOn the stage, I have 10 draggable movie-clips and 10 targets. At the moment, I have it set in such a way that, each movie-clip matches a specific target. Is it possible that the end-users will place the movie-clips on any targets they want? If so, what could be the easiest method to use?My project is a little complicated but my goal is to give the user the freedom to place the movie-clips to any targets which will make them snap and also give them a conditional statement. My project contains one exact model of an answer but there are a lot of probabilities because the end-user are more likely to place them around the targets randomly.
View 0 RepliesWhen the the 1. , 2. and 3. lines have boxes dropped on them I want the movie clip to load. I haven't been able to achive this. but I found a temporary way around it by making the clip load once the "3." target is full. this works but isn't completly accurate, I need it to also check if the other targets are full before the clip loads. I'm thinking it's something like:
"if (demons_mc.hitTest("targetCircle3+targetCircle2+targetCircle1")){this ._parent.gotoAndPlay("join"); }"
This is my first action script project and I'm having trouble with some positioning of movie clips that I can't work out. I'll post in the parts of the code that I think are relevant in hopes that someone may be able to see what I am missing. The problem is that according to my traces my gridSnap function should be working. The trace shows mc.y to have the correct value while the movie is running yet the mc's in question are appearing in the wrong spot (they appear at GRIDSIZE*gridNumber) in the movie. The problem only manifests itself in case one and case three, both of which should have the same code but I was only testing different approaches in case one. On with the code:

how do i make a button trigger a movie clip that targets specific coords? I'm building a map and when a button is click it goes to a defined point. right now it jumps to the coords, but i'd much rather it smoothly move instead. the other thing is that i would like it to move from whatever point it is currently at.

View 5 RepliesI have made this little flash game that is almost done, There is just one thing that I need to know.Is it possible to make a movieClip stick to another Movieclip in some easy way?You see there is this tower in the game, that shoots arrows at an enemie.Now I want that arrow to stay on the enemie that is moving along the axis until it dies, where the arrow should just drop and dissapear after a while.I have tried alot of different things to get this to work, But with no success.the enemies and arrows are saved in two separate arrays, and the arrow have a random rotation.
View 7 RepliesI have a project and i have an issue with an idea i have. The index of the website is in html with a simple link to enter the main menu page in flash. But in the main menu i have a movie clip of a man in the center. In fact, i have 3 different images of men that i want to make appear, in a shuffle way, instead of 1. So when people visit the website, the main menu page could present 1 of the 3 pictures i chose in a random way. So a kind of shuffle every time someone log into the main menu page. So do you know what kind of code i could write to make it work ? It could be in the index page (html) or in the flash page itself ?
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to make a matrix of movie clips. To do this, I have two while statements, one inside the other. The interior is for the number of columns and the exterior is for the number of rows. The movieclip that I want in every entry of the matrix is called 'entryspace'. What ends up happening is that only the last row shows up at the bottom. There must be an error in the following but I can't find it. I've also attached the entire file.
on (release) {
i = 0;
xspot = 500;
yspot = 90;

I'm making a jigsaw puzzle in flash and there's something I just can't figure out. I want it so that if you pick up a piece, drop it next to another piece, and the two pieces are supposed to go together, the two pieces will snap together so that if you move one piece the other will move with it. I've seen some games where they somehow get movie clips to stick together when they come into contact with each other, but I haven't been able to figure out how they did it.
View 2 RepliesI have set up a single, one-page resume/portfolio website, but I'm having difficulty finding a way to get the 2 individual movie clips to play individually - not at the same time.Everything is set up on a time line. Each movie clip has it's own layer with it's own button via Code Snippets as follows:
CArrow1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_ClickToGoToAndStopAtFrame_15);
function fl_ClickToGoToAndStopAtFrame_15(event:MouseEvent):void

View 1 RepliesI have this page that has 8 movie clips, and I want to make these movie clips function as buttons. I got that part done already, but what I need now is the Rollover part. I made one separate animated movie clip that'll function as the rollover, so whenever a button is rollovered the animated movieclip will play on top of that button. So my question is how do you designate the one animated rollover movieclip to play on top of each separate button when they are rollovered on? Hope it's not too confusing to understand.

View 3 RepliesI was wanting some help with some of my coding I have to complete a game designed to teach students how to build a food web. This is my first use of flash Everything was going fine till I decided to go a bit more complex with the actionscript. What I have the program doing so far is when the sun2_mc1, sun2_mc2, sun2_mc3 and sun2_mc4 movieclips are pressed they turn into buttons and can be dragged. When the mc's are over the top of the target of - "target" + event.target.name - and the mouse is unpressed the mc is left in that position. At the moment the coding needs to have the mc over the exact same target of targetsun2_mc1 etc. However, I need the mc to be able to be placed over the top of all four of the targets on the background.[code]
View 1 Repliesi created a game that has 96 still movieclips and seven more movieclips that basically move horizontally. The lag starts to rise if i add more and more moving movieclips. The game loop just basically, increment the x coordinate of the movieclips, so i don't think i have problems in the game loop.Is it normal the flash will lag once it has exceeded certain number of movieclips??if it's normal, what do you suggest to increase the game's performance?anyway, this is the update method from the game loop:
public function update():void
{

I'm trying to make a short clip = a website introduction - where feathers fall from above the stage eventually covering it completely. I've created movie clip with the animation (motion via motion tweens) - and what I'd like is for multiple instances of the Movie Clip to appear above the stage, then the Movie Clip to play, hence feathers falling randomly.I'd also like to put a time delay on the appearing of each new instance (ideally random) so that when the movie clip plays the falling feathers aren't perfectly synchronised (which they would be were all the instances to appear at the same time).I've tried playing with the scripts suggested in this thread with limited success: showthread.php3?t=259911(Also, I'd ideally like to change the tint on each movie clip (to a limited set of colours) instance to vary the colour of the feathers, but that's maybe a complication too far for the moment!
View 5 Repliesit works fine when i apply it on Button Symbols. But when i apply it on Movie clips symbols that i use as button, it failed to work as i expected.

Should i change some thing to make it work on Movie clips symbol??

View 3 RepliesI am trying to make some buttons that play different parts of multiple movie clips- and also link to a url. I also want to be able to click on a movie clip and make it play starting from a certain point (this is what I have been working on) I have this code
stop();
_root.frogdance.stop();
froggy.onRelease = function() {
_root.frogdance.play(4);
}
it is on an actions layer of my main timline- I am not sure if I put it in the wrong place or what- but it doesn't do ANYTHING when I click on it when testing the movie. I gave the frogdance movie clip the instance name 'froggy' in the properties panel. The rest of what I am working with will be buttons that do things- but I also want this movie clip thing to work...
I'm trying to make duplicated movie clips scroll down the screen (asteroids) for an experimental game but I just can't get it working. :-
I'm using this to duplicate the movieclip:
i=i+1;
duplicateMovieClip ("m0", "m", i);
and trying to get the movieclips to scroll down with this:
p=eval("m" add i);
p._y+=2;
make renamed duplications scroll down the screen?
I'd like to control a movie clips current frame by another movie clips action script.I realise the following controls the outside (root) frame time line:
on(release){
_root.gotoAndStop(1);
}
but I'm not sure how to apply that to my other movie clip. I'm guessing it would be something like this:
on(release){
_*movie_clip_name*.gotoAndStop(1);
}

View 1 RepliesI'm having trouble figuring out the code to make an object slide or snap.
I.e. imagine a checkerboard. I want it to be able to move only horizontally or vertically, from any square. But I also want to make it feel smooth like sliding (i.e. not just snap from square to square).
i have a bunch of movie clips and in order to make them rotate the way i want i have grouped them together, made the entire group into a movie clip and applied the motion tween. I'm trying to code it so that when i mouse over the movie clips WITHIN the group movie clip, something happens. How would i go about it? All i can work out is how to make the entire group react on mouse over, not the individual movie clips themselves.
View 2 RepliesI have 6 scenes, the first scene has 5 pictures that i converted to buttons. each button goes to a different scene to play the appropriate movie clip. right now it shows up with scene 1, then i click on the button and it goes to the appropriate movie clip but after it finishes playing it just goes to the next clip on the next scene, then after it is finished it goes to the next clip on the next scene and so on. i would like to know is there some way i can make the movie clips return to scene 1 after they finish playing?
View 1 RepliesI have seven loops in total. I imported them into the library. i've put each of them in a seperate movie clip with the names loop1,loop2,.In those movie clips, the first (key)frame contains the action stop(); . The second frame is a keyframe too and from here on the sound starts. And of course they loop.Okay, now the buttons to control the movie (Prev, Stop, Play, Next) work fine, but let me explain the system i used. I used a var loopnumber and everytime you click Next or Prev, it '+'es 1 or '-'es 1. I also set a variable number_to_play = "_root.loop"+loopnumber, so you would get _root.loop--number--, where --number-- is 1,2,3,4,5,6 or 7. To actually play the sound, i used tellTarget(number_to_play) {gotoAndPlay(2)}.That's why i added stop(); to the first frame of those clips.how can i make a volume slider for those sounds inside my movie clips ? I've checked this forum already for questions like this but they don't use the system I use.
View 4 RepliesI'm new to Flash (sort of - I used it a bit back in 1999-2000, but it's changed a LOT since then). I'm making an educational game for my company that involves dragging labels from a word-bank to their correct position on a diagram. I want the kids to be able to drag any one of the five labels and move them to any one of five marked positions on the diagram. I'm using Flash CS5 with Actionscript 3. I used code snippets, so that each individual label has the following code associated with it:

I am creating an exercise to teach the meaning of the word "take". I want draggable objects (MC's) which will automatically snap to a different position when they are dragged a little way.
This is the code I am trying (not mine I'm afraid). I have it on the same frame as the MC in "Actions - movie clip". The MC is draggable but doesn't snap.[code]...
