ActionScript 2.0 :: Randomly Pick From The Three Mcs As The First One Reaches A Certain Point
Dec 29, 2004
i'm using Mx Flash and i am making a game. it is called "falldown". the 'ledges' that you run into as you are falling down need to go up. i have the mc that moves up and all, but there needs to be three of them that move up to keep you from hitting the bottom. i need it to randomly pick from the three mcs as the first one reaches a certain point. in case you don't understand ask questions and i am going to post the .fla when i get on my own comp.

Ok what i want to do is to randomly pick 3 values from an array called Objs and add them to a new array called ListObjs. The three values should be unique. This is the code I have so far, but when i try to execute it Flash stops responding.

I have a rounded rectangle that the x and y values will always stay the same. However it rotates around and it's height is increased (it follows moving targets). (Think of it as a turret that shoots out a beam of light that will always be anchored to the turret on one end but it gets longer and rotates so that it constantly tracks the moving targets) I want to remove the object when it moves off the screen.
Normally I would just do this with:
(if myObject.x >= 550){
removeChild(myObject);
}
and the same for each other direction of the screen. However, as mentioned, it's not the x and y values that are changing - it's the height that's changing.
Now I've tried just swapping out 'x' for height:
(if myObject.height>= 550){
removeChild(myObject);
}
etc. for the rest.
But the problem with that is that if my turret (the anchor point for beam of light) is closer to the edge of the screen (i.e. it's x is 500), then it will take a couple of second's for the light beam's height to reach 550.

I have a scale up and down function that increases or decreases the size of an external loaded image inside a loader. What i am now trying to do and having trouble with is playing certain messages when the scaling reaches a certain point.
For instance when the user uses the 'increaseScale' function and scales 'image_Content' up by 40% its original size then 'warning_msg.visible = true;'
When they increase it by 65% then 'stop_msg.visible = true;'
This will then respond the same way if the user decreases the scale back to 40% and so on.
I cannot work this one out, i have posted the code below and have attached the fla file...

Basically I have a scrolling bar with thumbs of images that you can click and view. The bar scrolls depending on where the mouse is located along the X plane. Basically, the greater the value of X, the faster the bar scrolls to a certain extent. I am trying to figure out a way that if the Y value of the mouse cursor reaches a certain point, the scrolling stops. Like if the mouse is scrolling off the bar of images itself, the scrolling stops. As it stands the scrolling is only controlled based on where the mouse is located along the X plane and it has nothing to do with the Y value. I would like to be able to stop the bar with a certain Y value. Make sense? I Hope So :P

I have a project where I am bringing in one video with a cue point at the very end with the name of "End." I'm trying to have the next video play when the first video reaches that cue point. I keep getting this error: 1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: MetadataEvent. Here is the relevant code I believe:

I need to put in code something like "when". I mean i need to add an Enter Frame listener that establishes mc.rotation += 4; and then something like "when rotation == 0" (meaning when rotation reaches value 0) stop (mc.rotation += 0).
Code:
mc.rotation += mcRot;
if(mc.rotation == 0){
mcRot = 0;
}

I have a column of objects down the center of the stage and I need them to randomly point either to the left or the right. They have been placed using a for loop so I can't point each one individually. I was told I could use Math.random to flip their scaleX position but I can't get it to work.

Onmy stage I have a MC, and when I click it a random MC from the Library should appear and move around randomly.
I'm using this to make it move around randomly [URL]
how to make the random MCs appear from the library. And should I put the random moving script on each of my ten MC?

It's been a long time since I've done any work with actionscript, and alas I've forgotten nearly everything. I've tried to look for a tutorial that would explain basic animation with actionscript, but the one that I found on Kirupa was no longer there.
Basically I'd like to do this:On the stage I have a movieclip and I'd like the movieclip to move along the x-axis to a certain point and then back to the starting point again. The moving speed of the movieclip should also be adjustable.

I've got a movieclip(we'll call this "A") on my stage, which attaches another movieclip("B") into itself. So it's nested.Now, once this movieclip("A") has attached the other movieclip("B") into itself,It uses a "gotoAndStop()" to send the frame of movieClip("B") to the right frame, eg. frame 2. Then it runs a loop which checks for all movieclips in "B" and populates an Array.The script I'm using for this is :
Code:
for (var i=0; i<h.numChildren; i++) {// This loop is suppose to populate my "bitArray" Array with all of the attached clip's childclips
if (h.getChildAt(i) is MovieClip) {[code]....
if there were 22 MovieClips on frame 2 in movieClip"B" , this code would still be able to populate my array with all 22 clips right?It doesn't. For some reason, if there were 22 clips, then out of the 22, the loop would only pick up 9. However, doing a trace with numChildren() in movieClip"B", it would still show 22. But my array would only show 9.I've attached a sample fla, I think it would explain my problem a lot better.Once you run it, it should spit out an output telling you how many movieclips in the attached movieclip, and it'll tell you how many clips it pushed onto the array.I can't seem to get the number of movieclips in my array to equal the number of clips in total inside my attached movieclip.

I'm creating a game in flash for a university project, and learning actionscript and programming as I go. I'm very much still at a beginner level - at the moment al I have is some actionscript for drawing rectangles and moving them about the screen. This is what I'm having trouble with at the moment: I have a class called 'Creature', and I want instances of it to interact with each other. I want them to do something when they come within a certain distance of another instance. And I want them to be able to pick a random other instance to get the location of, in order to do something with that information.
What I think I need is: A function for telling the distance between two (x,y) points.
A way of referencing the nearest other instance of the class. And a way of randomly selecting from all of the instances of the class.

How to convert 3d point to 2d point? I've found next formula in Internet(camera is situated in origin)
[Code]....
But these formulae give me strange result when z are less than zero(z<0) I need build line from A(100,100,100) to B (100,100;-100) As you can see these equations give really strange result when I try to convert B point in 2D dimension

i have the follow issue :
I have a point which is setted at the border on a component, with changed transform point to the center of a component in order to match the component rotation.
the important part is when i try to get the point XY after rotation - they remains the same as before rotation.
how to get XY, after rotation ( changeing point.rotation property to specific degrees of rotaion )

I am using AS2 with Flash 8 Professional So, my problem is that I currently have a man in the middle of the screen, who shoots a line towards the mouse when I click. However, when I use hitTest to see if the line collides with another object, Flash recognizes the line as a large box if it is diagonal, so the hitTest isn't very accurate. The line only satys there for one frame, so I can't have the usual moving-bullet-style. I am either looking for a way to create an imaginary line with AS from the starting point to the mouse and beyond, and tell whether or not this line intersects with an object... or some other way that I haven't thought of to fix my problem. Keep in mind that the line rotates from a center point towards anywhere around it for 360 degrees.

I am trying to develop a Quadratic Bezier Curve using the graphics.curveTo() method. Initially when i drag mouse to draw the shape, i use start point and end point of mouse to draw the curve line. I assume control point at any position below or up to the line. An draw the curve using this control point. some what like:-
[Code]...
Now i add a tip on this curve segment. I have x and y position of tip. I want to change the curve segment by dragging tip. but now i don't have the exact control point according to tip position. If i use tip coordinate as control point it reduce the height of curve and now tip does not lie on the curve segment. What i have to do is calculate the exact control point on the basis of tip coordinate. But i failed to get this point.

I'm trying to figure out how to find a point relative to the center of an object, modified by its rotation. For example, in the attached swf, I've been messing around trying to draw trails to a bitmap, coming out of the thrusters. I didn't have a problem at first, but as the ship rotated, the lines that were being drawn wouldn't remain relative.
http:[url]....
I'm sure this is because I have no idea what I'm doing, and I've just been sort of idioting my way through it. That aside, is there an easy way to find the point I'm looking for? For instance, say I want a point at Y -14 of my ship, but I want that to remain relative to the ship as it rotates.
