I want to create movement in a movieclip when an arrow key is pressed. I want the movieclip to start moving and not stop until a hitTest recognizes a collision with another object and then tells it to stop. I want the key to only have to be pressed once to start movement and not have to stayed pressed down. How would I do this?

Am building a video chat application and i was wondering if there are any native events for the NetStream that fire,that can help in detecting when a remote client starts/stops streaming video over his outgoing stream (NetStream) to which the other client has subscribed over P2P/RTFMP in AS3 ?I maybe able to dispatch custom messages since the two clients are already connected, but i don't want to add the extra overhead.
View 1 RepliesI am building a tile based game, in which the player can digg away at all the tiles.The problem im having is that my collision detection code for the tiles only will detect a collision with the first tile placed, or any tile required i explicitly code its number in.
In all other examples, tutorials and code, this should work, and yet it does not on mine.heres the specific code , the array the cildren are stored in is called dirt, as they are dirt tiles.
ActionScript Code:
for (var m:int=dirt.length-1; m>=0; m--) {
forval.text=String(m);
if (dirt[m].hitTestObject(_player)) {
[code]....
this brings me onto another problem i am having, which is that now that the collision code is inside a for statement, the above code doesnt work correctly. normally the lastx and lasty should be recorded , and if there is a collsion, the player is shifted back to the last position there wasnt a collision.for some reason now, even though it should be looping faster and detecting the lasx and lasty even faster, it isnt, and although a collision is detected (only with child 0).

Assuming, for a rectangle that is controlled by the user using the arrow keys, that I do the following[code]...
Assuming that works in detecting the collision, what would I use to actually stop the rectangle from progressing through the wall?
The scenario: in Main, instances of class Bullet are spawned and added to the stage, and to the array bltarray, instances of class Enemy are spawned, added to the stage, and added to nmearray. This works fine.
The problem comes in seemingly sporadically, i.e. it works, then suddenly doesn't work soon after, when it doesn't work I get spammed with output errors and the score display is constantly rising, note it's the same instance of bullet and enemy. [code]...
I got it working for using the e.target of the mouse but now I need to filter through the array on enter frame and detect whether a collision is detected.[code]

Im trying to make a game and the collision *** does not stop the character in its spot... if i set _y to 0 then it would go to the top of the screen... if i set _y to -1 each frame that the hitTest is active then the character goes through the platform and the rises by -1 (1 up) _y .... how can i make it so the character is stopped immediatly when touching (hitTest) the platform?

am pretty new to Kirupa and Flash. I have a little problem, concerning a character hitting a wall. What i have: a char that can jump and move around by the arrow keys. What i need: character shall stop movement if he hits a geometry. But being able to start movement again, besides through the geometry. I'd like to reach this with gskinners CheckForCollision class. Have a look here: [URl] But i didnt manage my code to get it work. So maybe you could leak me some information on how to get this done. Heres my code so far:

edit admits: so far i have a character mc called "player" and one called "level". i would apply the code to the player, and it would be cool to have the possibility to check collision of the player with multiple MCs, not only the level.
I have a 9 frames image of a character.In other language generally i used to make character animation by looping the array consisting of different frames and drawing each frame when pressing key.What i want to do is when i press left or right key, i want to draw each frame that makes character movement and update x coordinates of frames, and it will appear as character is moving.

View 2 RepliesI have searched all afternoon, and I thought millions of people must have this problem, but couldn't find a single useful site.I have made a flash site, that works correctly for people with flash. People without Flash however, don't see anything but my background color. No yellowbar on top that enables them to download flash, and no message that they need to have flash either!I want to display a message when the user doesn't have flash, like on www.thehansofoundation.orgI just want the site to say that you need flash, you can download it here, and if you don't get it to install you have to contact your network administrator, because a lot of companies have disabled flash and I want their administrators to explain te problem and not the client I made this site for.
View 2 RepliesI'm trying to make a grid full of photos as an AS3 class. I would like mouseOver and mouseOut behaviour for the indvidual pictures however, only one of the pictures is triggering a mouseOver event ?_?

As you can see event listeners are being added to all of the pictures that are being displayed, however, only one actually works.PictureLoader is a custom class extending MovieClip which has a child Loader object (the loaded picture)
I have been using the up/down, left right keys ito scale and rotate an object. I decided to change that to CTRL+up/down/left/right key so I could use the arrows to position the object.
When I change
if( event.keyCode == Keyboard.UP)
to
if( event.keyCode == Keyboard.UP && event.ctrlKey)
nothing happens.
I've tried a few tests and I can CTRL+left and CTRL+right fires an event, but CTRL+Up or CTRL+Down does not fire an event.
without the && event.ctrlKey added, all events work fine. So I knopw the CTRL key works and the arrows work. Just not CTRL+UP or CTRL+DOWN arrow together.
It might be my DELL laptop keyboard, but if so, many will have this problem.
I have issue with a value that should have just work, however, it seem to be a bug which I could not understand.

And I want it to move or flow smoothly.

I wish to get the effect of ants scuttering across the screen or up a tree, I have not decided which direction yet. I started with the tutorial code for the snow effect from kirupa, and changed it around to fit the little vector ant I created. The way I have it now looks pretty good, but the movement is a little too fluid. They obviously move in sinusoidal paths bc the code tells them to. I have about 20 copies of the main obj, and they're all a little different in size and specs (speed, transparency, etc) but what I was wondering was if there is any way I can change the code to make it a little more hectic, or erratic, not so fluid. If there is no way of doing so, it looks pretty good right now. If there is, however, I think it could look awesome. here's the code I'm using for the object.
onClipEvent (load) {
//stage
movieWidth = 850;
movieHeight = 50;

I've been experimenting with writing my first custom event. So I have a MovieClip class in the library called "Curtains". It plays an animation and at the end of the animation I have the code:
ActionScript Code:
stop();
dispatchEvent(new Event("closed"));
Now I'm creating an instance of this Curtains MC in my class below. The custom event is not being detected. Did I put the event listener in the wrong place? What did I do wrong?

I have some items in my library that are all identical. When I place them on the stage, I can see that they are identical width.
When I do a:

It traces a different width for each. How do I get it to tell me "real" width instead of some made up number?
