[Code]..
I want to use the above code (obviously with more meat inside of it) on multiple instances of the same symbol, but when I name the instances "wall" only one of them actually performs the hitTest. Is there a way to pull this off without having to perform a hitTest on every instance?
How to apply the hitTest to multiple objects for a side scroller game. Right now, I have the MC:hero hitTest against the MC:ground and MC: platform. Problem is, if I want multiple platforms (IE: copying and pasting the orginal MC: platform) he will only hitTest on the 1st instance (platform1). I've since read up on it and learned that Flash will only hitTest on that first instance. But is there a way to make that MC: platform universally hitTest my MC:man? As it is right now, I have to code into the MC:man instance each and every platform instance. It's not a big deal, but after about 5 platforms, the codes seems unnecessarily long. I'm new to AS so I know there's got to be an easier way. Maybe arrays or something?
View 12 Repliesi have a game in which the character shoots bullets and kills enemies and whatnot. Now, i am trying to get the bullet to disappear when it collides with a wall.[code]when the bullet goes out of bounds, the bullet disappears, but when it hits the enemy or wall, it seems that the collision is not detected. I have checked each instance name and linkage, but have so far come up with nothing.

I have mutliple instances on the stage of a custom ThumbNail class. As you click on a particular instance an associated enlarged external image will load. As this is happening I want to make sure that the ThumbNail class animations are inactive for all instances.
I was thinking of using a Boolean variable that would get set right before the image is loading. Using event.currentTarget should help with the instance that was clicked but how do I gain access to the instances that were not clicked?
Ok so here is my XML slideshow Actionscript:
ActionScript Code:
stop();
var xmlRequest:URLRequest= new URLRequest("graphicImages.xml");
var xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader(xmlRequest);
[Code]....
So I figured that the coding of separate scenes would work independently of one another, but I guess I was dead wrong, because when I apply this to a different scene and change the XML path for a different set of images, I get all sorts of conflict errors when I test the entire movie. I have my flash film set up so that each link send the user to a different scene, which plays a unique intro for each, and then the slideshow appears on screen and the viewer can navigate the images.
Is there a work around for this? Or am I going to have to break my flash movie into separate movies? Or should I just add a suffix to all my vars and functions so that they are unique for each scene?
I have a button that was added to stage using addChild when the page load, the button is suppose to be removed using removeChild and redirect into its specific page using event.target.name...somehow i got this error: Error #2044: Unhandled IOErrorEvent:. text=Error #2035: URL Not Found.
I have try replace this line, var newswf:URLRequest= new URLRequest("./swfs/"+ event.target.name +".swf"); with this, var newswf:URLRequest= new URLRequest("./swfs/about.swf"); and everything works fine, but i dont want that since I want it to load dynamically and uses less code..
my code as below:
var about:About = new About();
about.x = 300;
about.y = 200;

im creating a small drag and drop game in AS3-
I have 4 objects and 4 targets,
I want to be able to drag any of the 4 objects onto any of the targets, right now all I can manage is to allow each object drop onto one specific target only.
I thought by calling all my target names by the same instance name eg target_mc that would work but only one target will ever work.
I have a movie clip called frog who moves along the screen, I want him to jump when he hits any other movie clips. I can make him do so with the code below, the problem is that if I write the same function for the other movie clips it doesnt work, it still works on the first one but none others. I have tried attaching an onCilpEvent on both the frog and on all the other movie cilps so no avail.
function hitBaby(){
if(_root.babyWord.hitTest(_root.frog)){
_root.frog.gotoAndPlay("frogB");}else{ _root.frog.gotoAndPlay("frogA");}

I am running a hittest on an array of thousands of MCs a little a part, due to the nature of this sometimes two can be hit at once.How would I narrow it down so that the one which is hit the most is the one returned value?

say I have 3 movie clips I want the easiest way to do a hitTest with them... The easiest way I thought of was this but it doesn't work

onClipEvent (load) {
mouse.hide();
walls = _root.one or _root.two or _root.three;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {

It's just a quick example of what im trying to do. one, two, and three are movieclips. Is the way I am trying possible? Or is there some easier way I could go about doing this besides writing it out for each movie clip?

I'll try to make my question pretty short and simple.
[Code]...
So what I'm trying to do is make the character stop when it runs into something. I can do that, but it will only work for one "block" movieclip I put on the stage. What can I do to make this work for multiple "blocks"?
prepare the area with instances of the 3-people-MC for the "maximum amount of people" case (covering the whole area).have a shape in their midst, filled with a transparent fill (or have it be invisible, if that would still work with a hittest).resize the shape mentioned in "2." according to how many people I really want displayed (change width and height).have a function nested in each 3-people-MC that checks whether or not that MC is hit by the shape from "2.".make the 3-people-MC visible or invisible according to "4.".Is that doable? how would you write that? Before, I was just working with a mask- but I am having trouble checking if the mask hits the people MCs or not
View 6 RepliesI have a movie it is a triangle.I duplicate it and I want to hitTest on the first triangle movie clip and I added 3 different line movie clips on the 3 side of triangle.I tried to write a code something like that.
if(firstTriangle_mc.hitTestObject(line1_mc,line2_mc,line_3mc){
trace("Ok");
}
but I've got error.I think it is not allowed hitTestObject for multiple Movie Clips.So is there anyone have an opinion about it?What should I do?
By using the attachMovie function, I create multiple entities of the same movieClip. Is it possible to detect collisions from the same, but multiple movie clips (And, with different Linkage Identifiers with each entity of the same movieClip.
View 3 RepliesI'm actually working on a multiple collision detection in actionscript 3.0, using pixel collision for a game for my assignment, where an enemy patrols around and searching for the hero. So, i draw a line between the enemy and the hero, to check whether there's some collision happened between those two. if the line colllides with an obstacle such as wall, door, etc. enemy will not be able to see the hero. When i tried a single line collision with a wall (one object only) it works perfectly.
But here's the problem. For the multiple objects collision (several walls and doors included), i added those objects in an arraylist, When i used for loop to check the collision between the line and those objects in the arraylist, none seems to react , except the first object in the arraylist or index 0.
Is there any simpler way to do the multiple collision detection?
can I use the same loader or do I have to have a loader for each instance (the one thing I haven't tried as yet)
View 3 Repliesi have a movieclip that is instanced on stage everytime i press space. problem being i can't seem to get it to hittest anything other than the first created instance.my spawn mc code is
Code:
function dropbox():Void {
//trace(me);
this.attachMovie("box","box"+Math.random()*300,this.getNextHighestDepth(),{_x: _root.one.me._x-25, _y: _root.one.me._y});

the first one returns "It's working" but zip for all of the others.
How do I add multiple instances of the same mc to the stage dynamically?
View 3 RepliesAs you can see, after all the items in the Carousel have loaded, a function called fadeItemIn() is called which displays each of them one by one. I am looking to call a small "swoosh" particle effect flv I made in AfterEffects so that as each item tweens in, it instead looks like it is sparkling in from the left.
The problem I have is that using the code below, the swoosh.flv file tends to freeze before it finishes. In this case the swooshIn() function is called three times because there are three items being loaded into the Carousel.
I am wondering why the FLV freezes when multiple instances of it are loaded through AS3 using NetStream.
Code:
private function fadeItemIn(item:CarouselItem):void {
trace("fadeItemIn");
this.tweens.push(new Tween(item, "altitude", Regular.easeOut, item.altitude, 2.5, 0.50, true));

I have a Hero that can shoot bullets. I can get him to shoot multiple bullets, all with equal velocity. The bullets are supposed to be peas from a pea shooter, so I want to apply friction and gravity to them so they slow down and fall. I'd also like them to bounce of objects too.At the moment I'm just applying friction, so the peas should be shot forward, and then gradually come to a halt in the air. The problem I'm having is that if I apply friction to one pea, it generates the next one at the velocity that the 1st one is currently at - that is, the second pea starts out slow, and stops very quickly. The 3rd one is generated not moving.
How can I set the velocity to reset for each pea, so they all start out equal? They all move with the same properties, so I want to deal with them all in one arrray/loop. Is this possible?I have posted the basic structure without any velocity or anything specified because I'm not sure where everything should go. If I specify a starting velocity in the document class and then use the for loop to apply friction, it changes the velocity of every pea. The Pea class just contains functions to draw the pea.
Code:
public function bullets(event:Event):void {
if (s==20 && PandaHero.currentFrame==13) {

I am trying to create several texts with animation on mouseover (basically animated menu).
Steps followed: created text, converted to movie clip (m_text), put a stop() in first frame added animation movie clip in second frame, which is played on mouseover (added onrollover function AS2.0)
It works fine. Now I tried to create multiple instances of this m_text, tried to change the text. But it changes in all instances.
If I try to create multiple instances of text only, then I will have to repeat the procedure of adding frames, adding animation clip, add AS for mouseover etc for each of them.
All I am trying to do is create one text with animation on mouseover, copy paste it several times and change only the text for each of them.
I have a problem with event handling. I'm working on a calendar, on which events can be listed. With actionscript i loop through an XML file with the days (and if there, the events for that day). So far so good. Where it goes wrong is this: I only want to display blocks with the day numbers on it. When you click on a day, a box pops up and shows the event's for that day.
This is what i did: created a movieclip with classname mc. loop trough the xml file and for each day create a new instance of mc with the day number as text on it. This al works, but now i want to add an eventhandler for each day. How to do this?
I have a set of two buttons on frame 1.I am attempting to use the same set of buttons on frame 5.I copied the buttons with instance names from the first frame and placed them on the fifth frame, but they are not performing the designated actions.The buttons work fine on the first frame, so I know the buttons are functional.

I have several movieclips in my project which are being used as buttons, and when you rollover the mc's the content is viewable the entire time the mouse is hovering in the area of the movie clip, once the mouse moves off it disapeers. Great. I have the code that allows this to happen, but i have multiple mc's and only one works at a time. Here is the code:
mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, overHandler);
function overHandler(evt:MouseEvent):void {
mc.gotoAndStop(2);
