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".

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?

In the code below i want to change the _root.broj and _root.logo variables inside the function which returns values from .php file. Inside the function everything works fine and all values are correct but when i trace var broj outside the function it's still 0.
var result_lv:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
var send_lv:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
var broj:Number=0;
var logo = new Array();

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.

Basically every functions without hitTests are removed without errors, but all the ittestobjects that i have in the end game frame says that it cannot acess a nullhitTestObject. One of the hitTests i have is this one:
if (this.hitTestObject(_root.anulpowerups)) {
this.parent.removeChild(this);
removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, checkCollision);

I just recently began migrating from AS2 to AS3, and I have of course realized that I can no longer move the "_root" by changing the _x and _y positions of the _root (which no longer exists in AS3). How can I do this in AS3 (specifying _x, _y, _z possibly of the "_root")?

I'm building a word search game using the following AS3 code. My problem is I need to have spaces in my array of words, so that I can have things like states names, but I need the spaces removed before the words go into the puzzle.
The other concern is also that when a person selects a word from the puzzle will it still match the word in the list even though the word in the list still has a space.[code]...

I'm trying to create a flash shooter game as my first project. But I can't remove the bullets and enemies when they are hit or off-screen.I've searched for a solution on the problem multiple times and copied about 4 of them (plus I've tried my own ideas) but they are not working.The current method of checking for collisions is:[code]How can I remove the enemies and bullets? removeChild and splice?

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) {

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.

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

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...)

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?

The question is simple. I need one line command like,Math.round((-Math.random() * 2)),which in output just shows 1 and -1. I try to figure it out but it seems not a easy task! I can use IF command like,demo = (Math.random()>.5)?(1):(-1);

our collaborators misposition the registration points of MCs.Here's the deal: we need to recover the REAL MC's coordinates (not the ones based on registration point). Is it possible? How? I've tried some code already (like getBounds and getRect functions) but all of 'em consider the registration point.

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?

My stage contains an object that contains a child. The child sees it's x and y position in relation to it's parent, so when the object moves, the coordinates remain the same.
How do i get a child's coordinates relative to the stage?

I think I know the answer to this one already, but am looking for any workaround or solution (php??)
I have a AS3 .swf that will be hosted on a client machine running from a web server and viewed in a browser.
It loads a list of images, etc from xml and then displays them. Fine. The problem is, the client wants to be able to put absolute file/network paths in the xml eg: file://filepath or \Serverpathetc....

I need (convert) absolute position of nested mc (_root.mc.mc._x) on the stage. I noticed that the function localToGlobal could do this, but I could not figure out how. Maybe I could do workaround with counting positions of parent clips, but that sounds lame. how to trace this on the Stage? (trace(_root.mc.mc._x);

i'm in the process of building a movie that is to be loaded and played into another main swf. the targeting (which is multi-level) works fine when the movie is played by itself but when it's loaded and played in the main swf some of the targeting doesn't work. i've tried using _parent. and stuff like that but it's not working. any ideas? can someone point me in the right direction? the frustrating thing is that some of the targeting does work.

I Have a quick question concerning absolute links in flash. I have a Flash gallery that is populated by php and xml. I was using relative URL's in all of my URLLoaders and everything worked fine. But when I moved my source files on to a different server and switched to absolute URLs, I got a 1010 Error. Could this be a flash player security issue?
