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 am making a small game in which you are a little shooty spaceship type thing, and there are duplicated mines falling around you. When you press space, the shooty spaceship type thing fires duplicated bullets. How do I check a hittest between any bullet

View 14 RepliesI am trying to create a hitTest between two duplicated objects. The code below is on a bullet. Bullets hit "bad" MCs that are called bad + x (X being a number from 22 - 40). I can't get it to work. I belive that I am not referencing the duplicated MCs correctly
Code:
for (x=22; x<42; x++) {
if (this.hitTest("_root.bad" + x)) {

I used a tutorial from here, that creates snow, and changed it up a bit so that it now creates fizz in a soda. however I'm running into a snag.Is there any way to mask duplicated movieClips so that they only show up in a certain area? Or some way to set parameters to accomplish the same effect? (i.e. I want the bubbles to only appear in the area of the cup, and not all over the place).Right now I have just set X and Y values to do this, but the cup is angled and not square, so it doesn't looks quite right.I have tried setting a mask on a layer above which the duplicated movie clip sits, and also have tried setting the depth of a mask_mc so that it is well above any of the layers that the bubbles are generated on (by use of a for() loop), but nothing works.
View 2 RepliesI've created a tsunami menu made up of duplicated menu items. Each menu item should have a rollover and selected state of 240% which works fine. When a menu item has been selected it jumps to another frame but until the user interacts with it it should loop through the different categories.My problem is that I can't get the menu items to scale big while it is looping through the different categories on the matching category frames.

This is the code I have used to create the movie clips.
var i = 1;
while (i <= 5){
duplicateMovieClip("bar", "bar" + i, 0);
i++;
}
On my stage I have generated a series of Movie Clips at runtime. They drift around in a semi-random motion, causing them to occasionally overlap each other - is there any way of preventing them from doing this?

View 2 RepliesI have a fire animation that i want to freeze (ha!) on the last frame of my swf. So basically the fire is buring and i want all the tweened flames inside duplicated MC to stop so it looks like a snapshot of whereever all the flames currrently are.Everything else in the movie is stopped too, so i was wondering if there was a global stop all motion command or the best way to freeze my fire
View 2 RepliesI have some code that has hearts falling from top to bottom and randomly float off the screen. The problem is the layer order. I have the code tucked under a layer of some text, but the hearts end up covering up the text. So would this be a depth problem? What would be some code to tell the newly duplicated movie clips what layer to appear on(as in appear below the text layer in the timeline).

What (if any) is the actual differance between removeMovieClip() and unloadMovie() for use in erasing duplicated movie clips (using duplicateMovieClip() )? I was looking over some of my code and noticed I used both without much rhyme or reason as to why one over the other.

View 5 RepliesMy flash movie is 1440x900 but the area where all the important stuff happens in within 1024x768, i am trying to keep the middle in the center regardless of browers size or aspect ratio.
I can center the page but it doesn't work as i need it to. If the browers is small (1024x768) the swf is justified against the left edge, but not keeping the middle in the middle of the brower.

I have a clip, duplicated to realize the titles of a menu. How can i use these duplicated clips to load the submenus? (The submenu is another clip, duplicated using the numbers contained in the same array)
My script (or, i'd better say, Stringy's!) is:
/*
array: its lenght gives me the number of titles, each number inside the quantity of submenu for each title

is there a posibility to target al of the clips (at once) i duplicated below?[code]
View 5 RepliesThere r two function which I compare for effectiveness, createFlake uses a symbol in the library to duplicate and createFlake2 uses programming drawing to create the same looking shape.When I run this file with createFlake calls it consumes about 70% of my CPU and when I use createFlake2 my CPU is 100% busy.I would prefer to use pure programming here so my question is: Is it a "normal" result because of Flash implementation or am I doing something in a not optimal fashion?

I 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;

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.
