I am making a game and need to know how much a particular mc is covered by other mc's placed randomly on the screen.Is there a way to tell how much is left seen of the mc as it's slowly being covered by other mc's?
View 3 Repliesso i am having trouble with adding a box randomly on the screen. I have done this before and it seems like it should have a relatively easy solution. But alas, i have not been able to figure this out. This is the info: I have a box mc with exporting as Box. I have a Box Actionscript file with this code in it:

Nothing happens at all but there is no errors. Also i would like to keep everything in the classes.
On my previous post Adding a object randomly on the screen in as3 I explained the specifics of my situation. But I will go over it again. I have a box with a class(not my document class. I do have one called Main but this one is just an AS class referencing my box.) The classes name is Box and my MC box is exported as Box. This is the codethis is in my main file on the main timline
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, createbox);
var _box:Box = new Box;
var boxlimit:int = 2;

I have an animated MovieClip of a fly that spawns at a random location and moves across the screen by bouncing off the walls. But every time the animation starts over, it seems to "jump" to a random location. Here is the code I have for when it spawns:
private function beginClass(e:Event):void{
_root = MovieClip(root);
do {

How do I fix it so that the fly continues moving in its appropriate path every time the animation starts over?

I have a bunch of dots moving randomly on the screen. They are all copied and pasted versions of one MC with some script attached. Over the top of them is a giant invisible button. When I click the button (anywhere on thescreen) a VISIBLE button appears. When I click again (anywhere on the screen) I want all the randomly moving dots to move towards the VISIBLE button.
View 2 Repliesi created a movie that gets a certain number of nodes from an xml file and places them randomly on the screen. The only thing is, that it does them at the same time. i want them each to be placed seperatly on the stage, getting faster as the movie progresses.

I've managed to get a sensor attached to an arduino talking to flash using something called AS3glue. it works, when i set up a trace("leaf") for the contition that the sensor reads 0, i get a printout of the word "leaf". however i want the program to make a graphic appear on the screen when this condition is met, not just trace something.
I'm trying to get the program to generate a library object called "Enemy" on the screen at a random position each time the conditions are met. It's called enemy because I was following a game tutorial...actually it's a drawing of a leaf. Here's the bit of the code which is causing me problems:

I need to have a series of four numbers appear randomly with fade in and out and stay on screen for a couple of seconds each. These are then linked through to separate movie instances that display relevant information regarding that number and then go back to the random numbers. There are options to randomly display text from an external file, but not library objects within the same movie. I have a cobbled together version using scenes and timeline animation, but it's repetitive. It needs to be more random and effective as a visual element.

View 4 RepliesI have a carousel menu that is placed on the stage using addChild(); It works fine, but when I place the code in my .fla, the carousel is covered up by my background graphic.I've remedied this by placing an empty movie(menuHolder) clip on layer above the background and assigning it to the addChild(), hence Code:menuHolder.addChild(imageHolder);I don't like the idea of empty movie clips on the stage. I've tried stage.addChild(), but then I get warnings and the .swf seems to slow down after a time...Here is the carousel code (sorry, it's alot, but the addChild is in a couple places)

I am making a game in Flash CS4 (actionscript 3) and I would like to be able to make "copies" of an instance that would randomly appear at the top of the screen and fall. For example, multiple objects(that are the same one) are falling from the top of the screen continuously, starting at random X positions. (i think this would be considered Real-Time effect).

View 1 RepliesI know this is a much covered subject but after spending two days trying different things I have to admit I'm baffled. Got two swf I want connected to one another to act like a portfolio gallery - parent is called "portfolio" child is "portfolio_flash_2"
Both have animation at the start with the child having a skip button (cause its animation is 20 odd seconds long). after the animation the thumbnails appear for the larger images.
On both swf's the buttons I'm using to load (parent to child) and unload (child back to parent) appear after the animation - I can get the child to load from the parent but having problems knowing what proper code to use on the child button "page2_btn" to return to the parent.

Facebook Connect uses JS/CSS overlays/popups for user interaction. I have sites with Flash elements, and no matter how I set the z-indices, the Flash always seems to go to the topI have a similar and likely related problem with a div with display:fixed at the top of the screen, where it gets covered by the Flash when you start scrolling.

View 3 RepliesI am currently designing a website for a fiend and would like to make the content of the website tabbed. What I mean by this is I would like the visitors to click on a tab (e.g. Contact) and the tab would slide out with the appropriate information inside. Okay so that part is easy, the problem I am having is that when one tab slides out all of the tabs on layers below the contact layer get covered up. I would still like for all of the other tabs to be visible. I would like for all of the tabs to slide out as if they were behind all of the other tabs.

The problem that I'm facing is in regards to the width of a sliding menu that I've created. The menu slides based on mouse x position and width of the movie. I would like the menu to fit to the entire screen regardless of the users resolution. I wanted to know if there's a way to detect a users screen width and then adjust the variable for screen width within my actionscript .fla if necessary.

When I view the animation in full screen the small fish seem to be wiped off the screen at a certain point. The tween box continues to follow it's path but the symbol disappears. This only seems to happen with larger objects.
