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;
}
Im using MediaPlayback-component to load MP3-files into and play them.
I use this code to call it:
myMediaPlay.setMedia("SOUND.mp3", "MP3");
myMediaPlay.play(0);
Problem is that the sound is played twice overlapping eachother (some of the mp3 is played first,interrupted, and then restarted again to finish fully).
I have a logo made of 28 circles which I need to animate using flash cs3...so far I have made the logo randomly animate using this There are two things I need to achieve...the circles on the stage start from the position they lay on the stagereturn back to those positions after say 45 seconds...
View 2 RepliesI have two pencils continuosly making stars and crosses when they are on a certain area. For doing that, I'm using attachMovie. Question is: how do I control the spacing between instances? Right now they overlap each other, and what I like is to be a space equal the size of the stars/shapes.

Below is the code for a simple Flex actionscript project. A sprite is partially covering a hyperlink. What's happening is that when you hover over the sprite, if you're also hovering over the hyperlink, the hyperlink is activated. I want to prevent that. I want the hyperlink to be activated only when the mouse hovers over it -- but not when the mouse hovers over the sprite which covers it.

I have a few mc's in the library ("mc1, mc2, mc3, mc4...) how can I attach them from the library to the stage randomly, but without getting it out of the stage and without overlapping to each other?
View 1 RepliesI am trying to create basically a puzzle in Flex Builder 3. I display images from an array onto a canvas that can be dragged and dropped around the canvas. My problem is that I don't want the images to be able to overlap each other. how to prevent this?? They can overlap as you drag but not when dropped, they need to "snap" to the nearest point that is not already occupied by another image.
View 1 RepliesOn my stage I have generated a series of Movie Clips at runtime. They drift around in a semi-random motion, causing them to occasionally overlap each other - is there any way of preventing them from doing this?

View 1 RepliesI got some movie clips with different shapes and I would like to make a pattern from those movie clips. I have assigned the x y co-ordinates of those movie clips with the Math.random function. However, the shapes overlap all the time, what can I do to avoid it? I have tried to do a hitTest, but then it doesn't work.

I have assigned the x y co-ordinates of those movie clips with the Math.random function. However, the shapes overlap all the time, what can I do to avoid it? Someone has suggested that I could add the clips to a list after being randomised, then define the area which couldn't be place by the other movie clips. However, how can I define that area in AS3? I have tried to do the hitTest, but I am not too sure what should I do if it has detected a hit, since there's a probability that it will hit another shape.

I've loaded a video into the FLVPlayback component and I'm looking for a way to get the total time and the time played so far and output them to two text fields so the end result would look something like "00:12/00:50".
Right now I'm defining the video by the components inspector but I'm eventually hoping to define this bit by actionscript as well.
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 have followed a tutorial and made a little piece of music start when you click home. The problem is that if you go elsewhere and go back to home the music is starting again and two songs is played at the same time.
The code i've used is:
ActionScript Code:
var sndMusic = new Sound();
sndMusic.attachSound("mySound");
sndMusic.start();
I 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;
} function dragEnd() {

I'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'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.

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 Repliesneed 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 have a Flash Professional CS5 project in Flash Builder 4, i'm trying to find a way to prevent it from publishing the FLA everytime I save, I only want it to publish when I actually debug or run it.
Is this possible, it's driving me nuts, I can't do inline checking without saving, but saving means I have to wait for the FLA to publish.

View 2 RepliesI created a custom scroll bar, you can see it here [URL] My scroll dragger is not working. First, I have removed all of my code except my scroll bar code and my scroll dragger still doesn't work. If I remove all of my stage elements and leave my custom scroll bar on the stage, the scroll dragger works. If I try to add an object back onto the stage the scroll dragger stops working. It doesn't seem to matter what object I add back to the stage. There are no compile errors or output errors to fix. I even created a new fla and I am getting the same issue. Adding movie clips from the library to the stage prevents the dragger from working. I am really puzzled by this. I am using Flash CS3. I have added a zip file of my fla.

View 2 RepliesI have this script that plays a sound from the library randomly - it works and plays one of the three/four sounds each time it is clicked - but how can i make it play a different sound on each and never repeat - does that make sense?
so, on the first click it plays either 1, 2 or 3, chooses 2 so next click it will choose either 1 or 3, chooses 3, and next click it plays 1 and so on.
