I am making my second game, and it's going to be a platformer. Unfortunately, I have no idea how to make the character (named hero) jump only to a certain height, and then fall back down. someone, please post a way to do this!
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to make a platformer and I'm having a problem where the character will clip half through the ground upon landing from a jump. Just so you have a clear picture -- right now all that's on the stage is the character (which the code is placed in) and the ground (a completely flat plane called 'ground')
Here's the code:
onClipEvent(load) {
jumpHeight =0;
defaultJumpSpeed = 20;
jumpSpeed = 20;
} onClipEvent(enterFrame) {
[Code] .....
Right now the character's jump constantly decreases to give the effect of gravity. It starts out positive (character moves up), then goes negative (character falls down) The character will only stop falling if they come in contact with the ground (in the form of a hit test). The problem (I think) is that the character can fall at, say, 36 pixels a second or more, so sometimes they'll be half through the ground before the hit test goes off and stops him from falling further. How do I stop it without making the character fall-rate really, really low.
How can i actionscript the maximum height (and width) of a movieclip?

View 2 RepliesI have another math question. I think this is fairly basic stuff but I'm so bad at math I can't wrap my head around it. What I would like to have is a formula that allows me to create an upwards parabola, using a given X and a maximum height. The maximum height is always the same as the positive X (so 3 if X = 3 or -3). The parabola must always end or begin at 0. Am I making sense at all?

I am trying to build my portfolio which is coming along fine.
I do however have a problem.. I want the site (SWF) to scale according to browser size.But, I want to implement a maximum and minimum width and height.
I dont want it to scale so that it is bigger than my stage size (1365px x 845px), and I dont want it to scale so that it can be smaller than for instance (800px x 600x). And I also want the SWF to be centered at all times.
If you need to see a working example you can see what I am trying to achieve on this site: [url]....Take a look at the slideshow when you enter the site, and try resizing your browser window. You'll notice that the pictures will shrink, but won't scale above their obvious 100% size. I tried looking at the page source, but I didnt understand much. Looks like they have used Actionscript for the resizing/aligning.

View 7 RepliesI am trying to test it. I am loading swf's into movie clip with XML stacking each other vertically. I found out that after movie clip is reached the height of 65000 px the other loaded swfs will not be loaded correctly. They are loaded from the 0 point again overlap previously loaded swfs.

as you see the container._height is bigger than the maxh (maximum height) but the _width is just fine... how do i fix this problem??
I am loading images of different size and then images are scaled and border is drawn for each image as shown in below link,[URL]... I want that border of images to be of the same width and height and for that I need to find out the max width and height size image before loading all the images. Is there any way that I can know the width and height of an image before loading it completely?
View 1 RepliesI am brand new to scripting in Flash, and was hoping I could get some help on a question. I have an animation that is 300 frames long. The first 100 frames are an animated 'ad' (for lack of a better term), the second 100 frames are a different ad, and the third 100 frames are the last ad. This can be viewed straight from beginning to end (and is intended to loop if no action is taken), but I would also like to add some functionality to the animation, so that people can jump forward to the next ad, or back to the previous ad (hitting back from the first ad would take them to the third ad, and vice versa.)
[Code]...
This does not turn up any errors when I test the movie, but the functionality does not work. Am I anywhere near a working script, or am I attempting this in a completely wrong way?

I have an art based platformer with a movie clip that is basically a triangle shaped object that serves as the slope.My problem is in the collision detection with the slope. Here's the code that i currently have - [code]This basically places the rectangle shape that serves as the main player (_rec) along the slope and increments its y position based on it's current x position. The reg point of the slope is on the bottom left.The problem is that this code comes into effect even if _rec is jumping over the triangle because of the square shaped hitbox of the slope. Also, for the same reason, I cannot jump while on the slope itself.I know of a way to rotate the character based on the incline in the ground but I don't really like that idea. The character should stay vertical at all times. I really don't want to do a tile based version as I have a lot of art already designed, it's only the ground objects that are basic shapes.

View 7 RepliesI'm in the process of building a platformer with Flash MX using Action Script 2.0, I'm following this tutorial: [URL].. However I'm not following the tutorial, I downloaded the .fla file and followed that. The .fla file available for download functions, but my recreation does not.
I have used all the elements from the tutorial platformer, the scoring counter, the health counter, the pickups, the enemies etc. But it does not work properly.
Here is my attempt for download, can someone please explain where i've gone wrong, and if it's not too much trouble, fix it.
I'm doing a project at the moment where I am creating a side scrolling platformer in AS3. Currently I have:
-The "Character' which is a ball that can be controlled using the arrow keys and has bounce, friction, gravity etc.
-A scrolling system, the character can move freely within an invisible inner boundary, once the character leaves this boundary the background will scroll to compensate.
The thing I am having issues with is creating collision detection between the "Character" and the "Background.Ground" so that the character can move along the shape of the Ground movieclip within the background movieclip.
Actionscript Code:
package{
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.display.Stage;
import flash.geom.Transform;
import flash.events.KeyboardEvent;
[Code] .....
I want to create a platformer game, but there is no tutorials that actually tell you how.What I dont understand is:
- How the level changes when you get to a certain point
- How to do collision with walls
- How to make the player move
I'm making a simple side scrolling platform game called Kit Run. For moving left and right, I have the sprite run in place while the background scrolls in the opposite direction. However, when the sprite jumps straight up and down, the background stays stationary. What I need help with is getting the background to scroll down when the sprite moves up beyond a certain point, and up when the sprite moves down beyond a certain point. Ive tried several probably unnecessarily complicated methods that only sort of work.
View 4 RepliesI'm about to create a scrolling platformer game, something like Gum Drop Hop, where the background is scrolling constantly, and you have to keep running or else you'll die. Do you know any tutorials on how to do something like this? I'm not really sure how I would generate random platforms all the time...

And it is all added into one movieclip called level. My problem is when the character hits under a platform it will go up it which I don't want it too, I don't know how to fix it heres the gravity code.
I'm having a problem with my multiple collision detection code for a platformer game.. It checks for collisions on all objects separately and it checks only one object per frame. I need to make somekind of a loop so that it would check every object in one frame. Anyone got an idea? It's coded like this:

I have my player, I have my enemy, and I want to make it so that when I hit "A", the player attacks and if its close enough to the enemy, the enemy dies.I've found how to do this in AS2, but not AS3.
View 4 RepliesI would like to use a movieclip to load a flv video. The problem I have is that I want to change the video dimensions. I've tried several software to change the video dimensions but as far as it seems all of them keep the same height-width ratio than in the original video. Is there any software that would allow me to change the height and width without keeping the same height/width ratio as in the original video file?

View 2 RepliesI want to constrain the height of a flex component to the height of the browser viewport.
The component's children are populated from a database table using a repeater, and are basic checkboxes. There are enough of them that the flex app ends up being about twice the height of the screen, which means some of the rest of the layout goes crappy on me. How can I force the component that contains these to limit itself to the size of the viewport?
How to set a Spark List height to the height of its content?Tried this:
var lastRow:IVisualElement =
myList.dataGroup.getElementAt(myList.dataGroup.numElements - 1);
myList.height = lastRow.y + lastRow.height;
It works in case of a single item, but lastRow is null in case of more items.
By default the height of an Flex Accordion container is the height of the initially selected child. I'd like to be able to set the height to the tallest child so that no resizing or scrolling is necessary when other children are selected. I do not want to use the resizeToContent property. I want the size of the container to stay constant no matter what child is selected.
My current thought is to extend the accordion class setting the creation policy to "all" and then override the measure function to loop through all the children and find the tallest one and use that for the height. This seems a little kludgy though, so I'd like to know if there is a better approach. Ultimately my question is: is there a way to set the size of an accordion container such that the container never resizes and scoll bars are never necessary to display any of the children?
