ActionScript 3.0 :: All Objects In Particle Array Receive Different Velocities
Mar 29, 2009
Code:
package{
import flash.events.*
import flash.display.Sprite;
public class ParticleAttractors extends Sprite{
public var i:int;
public var j:int;
[Code] .....
They all move in unison, but by my terrible reasoning, all objects in the particle array should receive different velocities. Is there some much more efficient way to achieve this effect? If not, tell me what is wrong in my for loop. Update is an on enter frame function, by the way.
I have a particle generator class and I want to create a hitTestObject function on another object to check for any collisions with the particles produced.I bascially have a character already on the stage called character_mc and I want to be able to collect the particles, that means when the character touches a particle, the particle disappears.
How do i receive flash objects in java? I'm trying to create a multiplayer game, i've chosen sockets to handle this and Java as the server. So far i made myself a client/server already. And it works when sending as3 objects. but, not the way i want it! I made a class in AS3 and in Java that represents the object to be sent. AS3 Class 'Package'
Is it possible to make this a mask? The system contains one movieclip of a circle called ball, also a class called ball and a class called particle. I want the particle system movieclips to display an image...I'm sure this is possible...just have not been able to find a way. A little backround, I'm a completely selftaught n00b when it comes to AS3, but I'm grasping it fairly well... the tutorial is on this website, called A Simple Particle System Using Actionscript 3.
how i can send an array from as3 to php with the toString() method. Now i'm looking for the solution to how do I receive an array from php. I would like to print an array and access it inside my actionscript file as an array? Is there a way to parse it?
So I have HTML page. with flash app on it. I vant to send an array to flash. How to do such thing using flashVars (I have something like uid=12&sid=12&sid=32&sid=12&sid=32) so i need to get dinamic andomeegunnown number of Sid's not losind UID how to du such thing?
btw I want to pass in an array of values and have it recognized by Flash as an Array object; For example, with POST and GET requests an array is formed as "field[]=value&field[]=value" etc.
I have some basic experience with using URLRequest to POST variables to my server which works fine.How do I post an array to my server and receive it back?
I have an array index problem. I have an Array that holds some strings. I am trying to write a function that receives a string variable (user input)and searches for that string in the array. for that i tried to use "ArrayName.indexOf(input_variable)" but this always returns -1 even if the string which the variable holds is in the Array.
This is the script: public static function ValidName(inputName:String = ""):Boolean { trace(validNames.indexOf(inputName)); if (validNames.indexOf(inputName) > -1) { return true; } else { return false; }}
I have an array of temporary objects created in a for loop. The objects are of type class "Tile", a class I created. However, it appears that whenever I create a lot of tiles in the for loop, the program slows down indefinitely.
While the array is whiped at a later trigger point, I am thinking that perhaps these Tile objects are not being erased from memory. They are being created on the fly in a for loop, and the array is being reset to "array = []".
Are the objects still in memory or are they cleaned up when the array is set to []?
I have a service which returns an Array of ObjectProxy objects. I would like to cast this to a custom object (a value object) and create an ArrayCollection. How can I do this?ited:I am using Django and PyAMF for the backend. I had to write a custom SQL query and I am wrapping the resulting records in ObjectProxy and sending the whole result as an ArrayCollection.Here is my client side code:
[ArrayElementType("SessionVO")] [Bindable] private var _list:ArrayCollection;
Is this the correct, most efficient way to recycle objects when creating an array of objects?
package com { public class CreateList extends MovieClip { //this is the object I will be recycling private var newProperty:PropertyRow; //this is the array I will use to reference the objects
iSo let's say I have three different arrays of objects, and I want to combine them into one sorted array. I want the order to be such that the items from each array are evenly distributed throughout the sorted array.
If there were 3 xItems, 3 yItems, and 3 zItems, the sorted array would have this order: x, y, z, x, y, z, x, y, z
HOWEVER, even if the arrays are differing lengths, I still need to make them alternate as much as possible. If there were 6 xItems, 4 yItems, and 2 zItems, the sorted array should have this order: x, y, x, y, x, z, x, y, x, y, x, z
i have two arrays of DesplayObjects and i want to add all the objects in the second array to the end of the first array, i knew that i just can just do a loop and puch em into the array, but i wondered if there was a simple function for doing this?
I have declared an Array as a new Array(); I would like to push objects into that array but have a text field read back the array minus the commas that are pushed by user interaction (from numbered buttons).
For example, if the user pushes button 1 then button 4 then button 8 I would like the array to read in the text field 148 instead of 1,4,8 .
If anyone would please post everything they can about particles and particle systems, including tutorials, source files, links, movies, comments, help, and code, I am trying to learn about particles and particle systems, but I can't fin anything that meets my needs. Please post whatever you can!
I'm using the Pulse Particle component to place a random starfield into my client's animation. Problem is as you'll see in this simplified example, I have the particle layer next to the bottom but when you render out the movie, the particles go right to the top layer, no matter what. I tried both this timeline effort and then I tried placing it with AS3 using the addChild method. Neither worked at all. How can I tell this component to only populate to the proper layer/level so the objects above it are seen without any particles?
i always loves to create aura/particle effects in flash while creating some website, I always use after effect to create them, but it's a little heavy side.I was wondering is there any way to make it lighter in weight so it could faster the loading time?URL...
I am new to actionscript but I am fairly confident in messing around with it. I have been trying to make a particle engine for two days now and I'm at my wits end.
What's funny is, the particle engine works fine. i have piggy backed off of somebody elses particle engine and modified things to how i need them (And stripped it of a few unnessicary things..) what my problem consists of, is I am trying to make the particles go behind another movie clip. this movie clip is a frame (to make it blend in with the webpage it is displayed on) and it must always stay on top depth no matter what to give that affect.
I am wanting to get an array of objects from a get statement in a class.Now I get this to work so i am just checking if this is the best way to do it.
Over 3 classes //class3 public function get xVal():int { return img1.x; } // END GET _myProperty //class2 public function get getEnemy():Array { return myEnemyList; } // END GET _myProperty /class1- calling class var enemyItem:Array = []; myEnemy.moveEnemy(); enemyItem=myEnemy.getEnemy;
I have is a simple game and when the player picks up 10 objects I would like an enemy to spawn and start chasing the player (the player is attatched to the mouse), after another 10 objects another enemy spawns and so on. This keeps going until any one of the enemies chasing "hits" the player, and then I would like all the enemies that are on the screen to travel off screen at the same location, ready to start over again.
I'm using tweener generally in the game so far for movement of things.I understand I'll need to use an array to create more duplicates of my enemy movieclip? And push one every time 10 objects are picked up.What I can't do is the code to hitest any one of the spawned enemies, I think only one perhaps-the last or first created is ever affected. I've seen others with a similar problem but not quite the same so I haven't found a solution. I'm sure its very simple.
Trying to re-sort an array of objects from: var arr:Array = new Array({num:0},{num:1},{num:2},{num:3}) to var arr:Array = ({num:0},{num:3},{num:1},{num:2})
Code: package { import flash.display.*; public class Particle
[code]....
This creates a constant stream of particles flowing from one point on the screen. I don't want the particles to constantly flow out from one point - I want to create a button that causes a set number of particles to explode out from it when it is clicked.
I've got a bunch of modules called "c4" labled red1,red2,red3, etc. And a laser made from particles, with angle controlledby bckspace and enter keys:
onEnterFrame = function(){ for (m=1;m<4;m++){c4 = this["red"+m]; if(robot_mc.laser_mc.lasereye_mc.hitTest(c4.cap)){c4.gotoAndPlay("fram e2"); }
[code]....
The problem I run into is having the collision work with the beam, as opposed to the bounding box that begins with thelasereye_mc. Is there a way to get the c4 to react with the beam, instead of the bounding box around the beam? Or a way to get the photons to interact individually? Also, is there a way to load a particle system through an onEnterFrame without it overloading/oversaturting ?
