ActionScript 2.0 :: Remove All Absolute References To "_root" From A Game

Jan 8, 2007

I am trying to remove all absolute references to "_root" from a game I am making. I have tried to avoid this kind of referencing where possible, but there seems to be some situations where I simply cannot make a reference by means of relative paths.

[Code]...

Which returns the mc that the tween was applied to. But using ".obj" only seems to work with Tween objects. Can anyone explain the idea behind using relative paths with objects that trace a data or class type when tracing "this".

ActionScript 2.0 :: [MX] Get An "absolute" X And Y For _root.dropDown1MC.listMC.item?

Oct 13, 2003

is it possible to get an "absolute" X and Y for _root.dropDown1MC.listMC.item?As is stands, I'm placing dropDown2MC on the stage using the following code:

[AS]_root.attachMovie("dropDown2", "dropDown2", 30, {_x:_xmouse, _y:_ymouse});[/AS]

and that gets it on the stage, but it doesn't function as I need it.In a perfect world, I'd like to place dropDown2MC at the X and Y of item, BUT, there is a mask to only show a certain area of listMC (it's how I'm making a scrollable dynamically populated list).So, is there a way to get some sort of absolute value, relative to root or something, of item's X and Y coordinates?

Remove Child In Game?

Jan 14, 2010

flash and am trying to create a vending machine game but I seem to have come unstuck. The coin_slot that I have added doesn't seem to remove from the stage after frame3. I have included colour to the the event triggers to allow me to see what is happening at the moment the coin_slot image that I add does seem to remove from the stae but there still seems to be something hidden within the stage. This is still in really rough stage of development I just need to figure out the code at the moment.

ActionScript 3.0 :: How To Remove Number Of Child From Flash Game

Jan 19, 2012

I've only started using Actionscript 3 recently and am having difficulty removing a number of childs from my flash game (a variant of frogger). My aim is when the player's character (WWalk) touches the EndGameZone on the other side of the stage, the generated Lorries should disappear, so I can put an ending animation on scene two. I can get it to load Scene 2 but cannot get rid of the lorries - They just stay still and don't disappear.

Code:
stage.focus = stage;
//adding keyboard control over the character to control direction
stage.addEventListener (KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, CWWalk);
function CWWalk (e:KeyboardEvent) {
switch (e.keyCode) {

ActionScript 3.0 :: Publishing Swf With Absolute Url's?

Mar 19, 2010

I have a problem that's driving me nuts.  A real catch 22 it seems.  I have a tutorial for creating a real cool mp3 player.  The player shares url data ( allows others to embed the player among other things) so the addressing must be absolute.  It works fine on my pc when I run from my local wamp server. Al my addresses are preceded with http://localhost.  If I leave http://localhost in the url's it won't run on the server that I upload to and if I use the url from the server it won't compile.  The addresses are in an xml file whiched is referenced in a class called PlayerDocumant  the reference also uses an absolute address to reference the xml file.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Absolute 3D Rotation In CS4?

Aug 26, 2009

Is there any way to rotate a 3D object in AS3 using absolute axes rather than the x, y and z axes of the object itself?For instance, increasing the value of rotationZ will make a movieclip rotate clockwise, but if the movieclip is first rotated 180 degrees around its y axis, increasing rotationZ will now rotate the movieclip counter-clockwise instead. Add rotation along the x axis, and things get really complicated.In my code, I simply want to flip a cube (consisting of four movieclip faces) 90 degrees around the default x and z axes, no matter what its current values of rotationX, rotationY and rotationZ are. My naive initial assumption was that it is only a matter of increasing rotationZ with 90 degrees to flip the cube left, or decrease rotationX to flip the cube "into" the screen

Flex :: Getting An Absolute Local Path?

Oct 9, 2010

I looked around, and the latest reference I saw was from 2008 stating that the standard FileReference browser does not support retrieving the user's file's absolute local path unless it's an AIR app, and indeed there's nothing in the docs suggesting otherwise. The reasoning behind this is apparently some misguided security concern... I get it's not a great idea to let any Flash app know your directory structure, but if the user actually grants your app a file, I think it doesn't invalidate the security model to know just that file's absolute path.

I'm wondering if the state of things has changed at all with Flex 4 and there's a method of getting the local filename of anything. I need it because I'm making an application that when distributed runs locally in 99% of cases, so doing a full file upload just to save it somewhere else on the local machine seems silly. (Plus the standard file uploading method doesn't support SOAP, which is what I'm using for all my other services...)

Flash - How To Find Absolute X / Y And Z Coordinates In AS3

Feb 11, 2011

I have been working on Flash AS3 project. I am designing a 3D system. Consider a MovieClip A which is at (0,0,0). A contains B which is at (10,10,10). If I rotate A by 10 degrees then the position of B with respect to A remains the same but position of B with respect to the system changes. To find Global X and Y of B, we have the function localToGlobal but it does not tell anything about the Z property. How to find that?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Scaling And Absolute Width

Jun 18, 2010

i was wondering if there is a method to get the width of an object that is a child of a child of a child ....n times, and is scaled.

the width im interested is the actual width of the object on the stage, not relative to its parent.

e.g. like there is a function "local to global" for objects coordinates

i know i can get objects actual width if i multiply its width * scaleX or scaleY

but does the scaleX and scaleY refer to absolute scaling or scaling relative to objects parent?
