I'm trying to create a flash demo for my prof and we want green dots to move randomly across the screen without ever overlapping each other.I saw the kirupa tutorial on random motion which is really good. I'm wondering if I can add something to the code so that the dots won't overlap, (as soon as one touch another they move away) as they move.
View 2 RepliesI've worked with Flash for about a year now and I'm trying to make a game where you can control an object with the arrow keys and if you touch a certain object (lets say a wall) you go to a frame where it says "You lose".making the actionscript for the object and the wall colliding.
View 1 RepliesI am using the random motion code found here at Kirupa. [URL]I have the code working fine but I have a question about fixing it to my needs. The way it is now, you change the height and width variables so that the objects don't move off the screen. This works fine, if you are using the whole screen area at:

need a logia something like to paint some Objects: simply put some MCs. When the Mcs (are out of the Box range) and neat its easy to colour. see the Zip files attached:
Please see: paint_Non_Overlaping_MC_Works.fla paint_Non_Overlaping_MC_Works.swf When the Movie clips are overlapping or one placed above the other MC the objects are hard to paint. It Recognizes the Obeject as One, the Imported png converted to a MC. Please see: paint_Overlaping_MC_Not_Works.fla paint_Overlaping_MC_Not_Works.swf
Is there a possibility to make this work, like to make the MC Highlight on Mouse over and distinguish the objects when Overlapping? That's to say to colour the MCs when overlapping? What initially came to my mind is when mouse over the MC's to highlight so that we can drop the colour on it. In the ZIp file contains all the as2 codes.
I tried the random motion tutorial with my design, but I would like my design elements to move only up and down along the y-axis.
View 3 RepliesI have an object that gets attached to the stage everytime I click (like a side shooting game). What I want is the object to have a speed in a specific direction. I got it to work by the code-
Code:
if (total_bolt_no>0) {
var bolt_name="bolt"+total_bolt_no;
var bolt_n:Sprite=this.getChildByName(bolt_name) as heroweapon;
[Code].....
The problem that arises is that when I spawn another object the previous one becomes still. I tried using the for loop but everytime I click the angle also changes, thus changing the speed of all attached objects.
I place the code in the timeline but I dont know where to place them to make the movie clips work?
* do i have to place them on the time line?
* Do the have to be named a certain Way ?
* Do they have to have some code ?
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 RepliesHow to stop MCs from overlapping each other?
[Code]...
This doesn't seems to be working cause the amount of it checking whether MC is overlapping is about the amount of MC on stage. how to make it keep checking till everything's fine?
how do can I position around 50 dynamic create movieclips from the library on the stage without overlapping.
I did the random x and y but they end up overlapping, i assume i have to do it with the hitTestObject, but eventually i will have 7 layers with 50mc's on each stage that need to be positioned randomly without overlapping and it will become processor heavy to test these objects.
assume i have two Objects overlapping each other, one is text on top, and the other is a MovieClip
ActionScript Code:
myClip.x = myClip.y = 100
myText.x = myText.y = 100
[code]....
the addEventListener for the MovieClip only functions if i am on its "Visible" area, and doesnt work if the mouse is on the text so how can i make it function no matter how many objects are on top of it?
I am creating a memory sequence game and I was wondering:
1. Is there a way to random position movieclips on the stage without having them overlap each other?
2. Is there a way to have flash draw a vector line from one clip to another in sequence and then have the user retrace what flash did? I have 6 movieclips on the stage, each with their own instance (ex. obj1_mc, obj2_mc, etc.). Is there a way to tell flash to always draw a line between movieclips in sequence even though the movieclips are randomly placed on the stage?
Is it possible to attach mcs at random locations without the possiblility of them overlapping?
View 1 RepliesI have for a long time tried to get rods beeing placed side by side without overlapping after dragging. I don't succeed. This side shows that it can work: [URL]. I want my objects beeing placed side by side or over each other, not overlapping and no space between, just like in thos link.
Code:
var mcArray:Array = new Array();
var lastClicked:MovieClip;
function drag() {
this.startDrag();
lastClicked=this;

how to prevent any two objects from overlapping each other each time they are randomly played?
i make them randomly appear using the code below but some of them appear on top of the other.
onClipEvent(load) {
_x=Math.floor(Math.random()*271)+120;
_y=Math.floor(Math.random()*265)+120;
}
I'm working right now on a map generator. I stumbled on a very annoying problem. I'm using the for loop to add the map elements on the stage. But when the "forest" area begins to be to thick all trees begin to overlap.
View 1 Repliesbasically I want my engine to display one out of three objects at random. I thought I had figured it out but apparently not. A familiar error message appears, "A term is undefined and has no properties". I'm sure it refers to the object I'm trying to spawn, however it rejects every object I refer to. Is my approach reasonable or should I scarp what I've got?
Code:
var spawnObject:Array = new Array("Object1", "Object2", "Object3");
var randomNumber:Number = Math.round(Math.random() * (spawnObject.length - 1));
if(spawnObject[randomNumber] == "Object1")

I have a script that produces random motion along the y axis, however, I want that motion to occur within the movie clip that is centered on the stage, or I should say within the bounds of that movie clip.
The movie clip has a height of 335 px
[Code]....
I did the random motion tutorial (mx version) on kirupa, and it isn't working the way I expected. I made a new movie clip that consists of a simple white dot, and put did everything else. When I start the movie the white dots jump around rather than moving smoothly.
View 3 RepliesI started out learning AS3 on my own a while ago without any programming experience whatsoever. I'm still in my diapers, but slowly progressing. Currently I'm working on a short animation with some code involved. Part of the animation is a herd of cows grazing in a pasture. I have a class called Cow which extends MovieClip and on the Cow timeline I have the walk cycle and other cow movements animated. When a cow is walking it slowly moves horizontally, along the x axis. I want the cows, when walking to also randomly move up and down (along the y axis) which would basically look as though the cow is moving further away or moving closer towards us. I'll be resizing each cow, according to its y position to create the effect of perspective (near and far).
What I'm trying to figure out is how to make the cow move either up or down the y axis in a somewhat random way. By "somewhat random" I mean that I don't want the cow to switch directions every second, but rather something like: 5 seconds moving up the y axis, then maybe 8 seconds moving down, then possibly 4 up, then 11 down, etc. It would be super if I could also have a velocity factor involved, meaning that when changing directions - from up to down, or down to up - I prefer that the change is smooth, like as in a ease out and then ease in.

I've cut and pasted the random motion tutorial code into my movie, and for some reason the movie clips that are moving migrate to the bottom right off the movie, off-stage. I've tried setting the registration point of the movie to the upper left, but that didn't help.

can the same techniques like random motion be achieved in swish???
View 7 RepliesI have been trying to tweak the random motion tuts here. What I want to accomplish is a round motion of a clip lets say a sparkle, but I want to appear that it is floating like driven by the wind. I know this sounds crazy but is it possible?? and if yes does anyone have a snippet or a tut I can check out?
View 16 RepliesI have to marbles (balls) lets call them m1 and m2, I am trying to have m1 move across the stage and hit m2, then have m1 stop and m2 continue moving off the screen at the same rate as m1.
I am able to get m1 to move over (left to right) and hit m2 and stop using hitTestObject, but I can't figure out how to get m2 to move to the right.
The random motion tutorial works just perfectly with one movieclip, but when I try to make a new movie clip and assign the same code to it, it really doesn't duplicate at all. The original movieclip has an instance name of dot so I created a new movieclip with instance name of dottwo.But for some reasob the following code doesn't duplicate the dottwo at all
i = 0;
while (i<25) {
dot.duplicateMovieClip("dot"+i, i);

Is there a way to have multiple seperate objects follow the same motion tween, so one object follows the other, or do they all have to have thier own individual tween?
