ActionScript 2.0 :: Mouse Of One Clip Onto The Next It Fails The Hittest And Traces?
Jul 16, 2007
I am attempting to build a xml driven drop down menu where everything is taken from xml. now the problem arises with submenues. I have them being created fine, but it's the mouse out that won't work. I want to use a hittest to check if my mouse is over any of the submenues and if not just to trace something so I know it's working.
The problem is when i mouse of one clip onto the next it fails the hittest and traces. There isn't a space between the two MC's so I dunno what would be causing this. I have read sen's guide but I'm not pulling things from the library. Everything is being created at run time so I can't use the attach movie, so I am just positioning them below each other.

been away from Flash too long and am probably making a stupid error in spotting it! (ActionScript 2.0, Flash CS3.)I have only a single scene, with a looping frame and movie clips displayed via attachMovie.Within each movie clip instance is a looping script that does the following in a certain circumstance:
Code:
trace (GAME OVER TEST);
_root.gotoAndStop("gameover");

I am creating a menu with nested MCs, of course, and the parent MC is using a RollOver action. The problem with that is: all other nested MC's RollOver action are not detected. I know you can use a mouse hitTest as a work-around i.e.:
Code:
onEnterFrame = function(){
if(this.hitTest(_xmouse,_ymouse,true)){
//do whatever
}}
But I'd like to avoid using that if possible.

I've googled for hours and found nothing. I did find a lot but none involved hittesting with a mouse cursor. I'm trying to make a simple maze game, so far it works, I die when I hit squares and rectangles, but I die incorrectly when hitting a rotating rectangle.Because it rotates, the bounding box is larger and a normal hittest sees bounding boxes, meaning it won't work.Make it so that my mouse can go near the rotating rectangle without dying until I actually touch the actual rectangle instead of the bounding box.

My first post in Actionscript.org. but I'm a long time visitor / fan. I'm moving a object with mouse but using some easing values. means it will follow the mouse slower.
Here is the file.[URL].. How can i check hitTest in this situation. even if i do it normally...the object is passing the collision object simply before stopping..because its being moved with mouse..

Having used copyPixels to display an image, I'm trying to copy another in it's place when the mouse is hovering.The only way I can copy the new image over the old is by setting the If statement to == false. I know there's something wrong with testing the bitmapData of the loaded .png because the hitTest would apply to anything copied from that tile sheet... but how to designate just the copied area?

I have in my root:
1 Movie Clip instancied as a "cursor" 1 Movie Clip instancied as a "Mc_Obstacles" with others 5 Movie Clipsand the 5 Movie Clips inside the "Mc_Obstacles" are instancied as "Obstacle" , all with the same instance...I want this: when the mc "cursor" hit one of mcs "obstacles" gotoandstop to frame X then i did in frame with actions in another layer:
cursor.onEnterFrame=function(){
this._x=this.x+10;
if(this.hitTest(Mc_Obstacles.Obstacle)){
gotoAndStop(4);

i have a hit test point on display object, and if i exit stage over that display object, and then run hit test point it will return true, although my mouse is not over stage area any more, like it remembers the last mousex, mousey coordinates where mouse was and reports that.how do i deal with it?i know i can detect mouse_leave on stage and mouse_out on displayobject.

Ive got a code to move a MC on the main stage together with the mouse, in the the X axis,. difficult to explain. But now the client wants that this MC movement works only when the Y position of the mouse is over the 300 px. I thought I need a hit test or something elese. Please help. Here is the whole code.

I'm making a droid (bad guy) move down the screen. If it hits the robot (good guy) the baseHealth will go down 2, same if it hits the bottom of the screen. If it hits the beam movie clip then it will go to the top of the screen and continue downward. The beam movie clip is a laser that slowly move outward, and I want the droid to go to the back of the screen if it ever touches any frame of the beam. However, when the droid touches the beam nothing happens, though it seems to work when it touches the robot or hits the bottom of the screen.
Code:
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, moveDroid);
function moveDroid(e:Event):void{[code]....

This seems like it should be simple, but... I've been trying to figure out how to do the following, and I can't seem to make it work. It all works except for the hit test part. I have a working drag and drop application. I need something different to happen when the user drops an object while the mouse x,y is, or is not over a certain (very irregularly shaped) bitmap inside a movieClip. how to do this? I have found some complicated ways to hit test between 2 bitmaps, but not 1 bitmap and mouse x,y.

Im 'TRYING' to use your FreeTransform proto from Layer51.com, with the drawing movie ive been making (for the last century lol) namely with lines using the draw api and duped circles (which have textfields inside)..
I think for my requirements I need 2 types of free transform, 1 for transforming lines, the other for transforming circles with text inside. It seems rotation with your FT kills the text inside my circle so I figured I would remove the rotation handles for one style. Also Im after;
1) manual control over FreeTransform as I only want it enabled when a user selects the 'transform' button in the tool bar (disabled otherwise)
-> so I have set 0 for autoRemove, so that I can addFreeTransform to all clips on 'moveComponents' (button clip) "down" event and removeFreeTransform on 'moveComponent's (button clip) "up" (ie not selected). Seem ok/logical?
2)Next I have a canvas, so I need selected elements to swap depths and be dragged BUT only in the canvas area,
-> Im not sure how to implement a hitTest with a clip with FT added?
3)Lastly Ive had an issue with using FT on clips with api drawn lines. It seems that the center cross hair is way up in the top left, and funnily enough the boundary (ie the surround handles bit) manages to perfect wrap itself around the line. Of course because the center cross hair is way up in the top left the rotation and resizing of the line is completely wacky.Anyway here's my 2 FT styles...
Code:
//My freetransform style for circles
ftCircleStyle = new FreeTransformStyle([3,0xFF0000,100], [15,0xFFEEAA,100], [null,"s",null,"s",null,"s",null,"s"], true, 0);[code]....
1)The AS you'll find in the timeline of the clip called 'drawArea'.
2)And to run the movie compile the fla and click the blue arrow on 'New' in the menu you see, then a toolbar will appear with a canvas.

I have a MovieClip. It represents animation of jumping monster. For clearness, let's pretend there are only 2 frames: the first one occupies top left rectangle (x = 0, y = 0, w = 70, h = 70) and the second one occupies (x = 100, y = 0, w = 70, h = 70). So monster jumps from left to the right. And position of MovieClip itself is constantly = (0, 0).
I'd like to fire some event when monster is clicked by mouse.
For some reason, I have stage mouse listener, not monster mouse listener. I wrote this code:
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClick);
private final function onClick(e:MouseEvent):void {
const clickPos:Point = new Point(e.stageX, e.stageY);
// having monster:MovieClip, how do I check hitting it?

I have a movie it is a triangle.I duplicate it and I want to hitTest on the first triangle movie clip and I added 3 different line movie clips on the 3 side of triangle.I tried to write a code something like that.
if(firstTriangle_mc.hitTestObject(line1_mc,line2_mc,line_3mc){
trace("Ok");
}
but I've got error.I think it is not allowed hitTestObject for multiple Movie Clips.So is there anyone have an opinion about it?What should I do?

By using the attachMovie function, I create multiple entities of the same movieClip. Is it possible to detect collisions from the same, but multiple movie clips (And, with different Linkage Identifiers with each entity of the same movieClip.

I am trying to set up a if function for a hit test. I am using action script 2.0 am coding all in one layer not within movie clips so dont give me code in that format unless nececary.I have a movie clip with instance name src_resolute and I have another movie clip that is nested inside another movie clip named endbar.What I am trying to do is when src_resolute hits endbar I want it do gotoandplay the next scene.The parrent movie clip of the nested movie clips instance name is background.If you need any more infromation let me know but basicly what I want to do is when my main character(src_resolute) makes contact with the nested movie clip(a movie clip I have drawn inside of another movie clip) I want it to jump to the next scene or more specificaly scene 4.

Ok, so i am working on a platform game, I am new to making games, but I enjoy it! I need a little help with resetting a Move Clip if there is a hitTest! MY EXAMPLE: When the HP bar hits the bottm, my character resets. I want him to reset AND reset the the MC, or give full HP again. So, how can I take my code below and make it so that when the hitTest is true, it ALSO resets my movie clip?

I'm trying to use hitTest to detect if a dragged clip is over any one of 3 different targets - when it is I want that target to blink. And then when I drag off I'd like the blinking to stop. Make sense? I'm struggling a bit with the following code:
Code:
square_mc.onPress = function() {
this.startDrag();
for (z=1; z<4; z++) {
circle = _root["circle"+z+"_mc"];
[code]....
The "eval(circle)" part isn't really working.

gun.onEnterFrame = function ()
{
var angle:Number = Math.atan2 (_root._ymouse - this._y, _root._xmouse - this._x);[code]....

I can't get the hit test (true) to work on a clip that animates (all it does is grow in size). If I set the hittest to false so it just reads the box of the clip, and not the shape it works just fine. The clip in question is simply a circle.

I am working on doing a hitTest using one attachMovie and one repeating movieClip. I am running into trouble because the movie clip is changing it's name every time it's created (panda1, panda2, panda3, etc...) and the attachMovie, fire, is not recognizing the created MC's. here is the code to create the movieClips:

say I have a clip with an onEnterFrame running on it with a hit test to check if the user has rolled off the clip . . . Then i create an empty clip within that clip and attach clips to it. Will my .onEnterFrame and hitTest now apply to the clips i have attached to the original clip?

I have a map application that when I use the mouse wheel the map will scale up or scale down. The next thing I want to do is to focus on the mouse pointer while zooming on the part of the map.
I have this code...
function focusMousePosition(){ onMouseMove = function (){ Stage.width = _root._xmouse; Stage.height = _root._ymouse; updateAfterEvent(); }}
var mouseWheelListener = new Object();var wheelNum:Number;
mouseWheelListener.onMouseWheel = function(wheelNum){ focusMousePosition(); if (wheelNum > 0){ map._xscale *= 0.9; map._yscale *= 0.9; }else{ map._xscale *= 1.1; map._yscale *= 1.1; }}Mouse.addListener(mouseWheelListener);

I have multiple movie clips on my piece. Each clip is of an an image, and when the mouse curser goes over the image, the movie clip begins (making it bigger).If you run your mouse curser all over the screen, they all activate at once.I want the clip to only activate after the mouse is on the specific clip for more than a few seconds. I know I need a timer. How do I do this? What is the code and where does it go in mine (below)?
Frame 1:
stop();
image10.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, image10overFunc);
function image10overFunc(e:MouseEvent)

I trying to create an animation that will demonstrate the basics of steering a sailboat. There will be a movieclip top view of the boat hull. Another movie clip will be the boat tiller. One end of the the tiller will have a grip that the user will drag with the mouse. Dragging the grip will turn the tiller turn right or left on its axis. When the user drags the tiller to the left, the boat hull turns to the right, and vice versa. I can get the tiller to rotate in a circle around its axis. However, making the tiller turn no more than 15 to 20 degrees left or right, and creating an event listener that will test when the tiller is turned left or right, then turn the hull the opposite direction as a sailboat would react.
