I am making an rpg type game and the map is as big as flash will allow a movie clip. Around 6000 width or something.
To simulate movement, the player is stationary in the center of the screen and moves the map beneath them.
The problem: On computers with slower CPU's it lags very badly.
Is there a way to cache the map or somehow have it so it is less processor intensive?
i have 2 movieclips: i want to move both of them but the second movie clip will only move if the first clip reach his final destination how do i do that?
View 2 RepliesI have looked around for this but haven't found any that seemed close to what I am planning on doing. My question is: Is it possible to have movieclips move from one swf to another?
My problem: I have two swf's next to each other that are in an html page that simulate the look of one swf. I need to animate text here and it won't be user generated. I have looked at the local connection on Adobe but it seems as though it's user initiated. i would like to animate using tweener.
I've stored a number of x and y coordinates within a 2D array. I would like to use these coordinates to move MovieClip across the stage. I haven't been able to find anything on this all day...
View 3 RepliesI'm working with a randomly moving MC, and now it looks good except the collisions with the level. When it hits the level it gonna rotate and go another way. I don't want it go through the walls.
PHP Code:
onClipEvent (load) {
xx = -(Math.cos(this.ro._rotation*(Math.PI/180)))*speed;
yy = -(Math.sin(this.ro._rotation*(Math.PI/180)))*speed;
this.ro._rotation = random(360); radie = 9;

I've made a draggable menu for a flash site (menu_mc), but the buttons don't work inside the movie clip when I apply startDrag. To remedy the problem, I simply made another movie clip (menubuttons). I now want to more or less attach the two movieclips:
Code:
if (menu_mc.moveTo(x,y)) {
menubuttons.moveTo(menu_mc.x,menu_mc.y)
};
I also tried some pretty iffy statements:
Code:
menubuttons._x = menu_mc._x
That last one works initially, but when I move menu_mc, menubuttons stays put.
I have about 70 MovieClips and when you rollover one I want it to enlarge and the other MovieClips' x & y to shift so that nothing is overlapping. Does anyone know how to do this or has anyone seen an example? I have attached some screen shots of how I would like this to work.

View 2 RepliesI am trying to make a little demonstration of how animals hunt . I searched everywhere but I couldn't find how to make what happens in the next application :(press on the scorpion lesson and watch it)Does anybody know how can I get my movie clip to go to a place inputed by the user (just like the scorpion goes to it's pray in the application ) ? Please don't just show me how to make it instantly appear in that place , I want to make it "walk" till there .
View 1 RepliesI have a button that uses attachMovie to add a movieclip to the stage. You can add multiple instances of this clip to the stage, which works fine. I also have a feature whereby you can select and move these objects around the stage one by one. I am trying to add a feature whereby you can select more than one object at a time (indicated with a drop shadow - which I have working) and then move them together. This feature would also allow you to rotate the selected objects by 90, leaving the unselected objects where they are. I'm fairly certain that I'll need an array to hold the selected objects, and then use this info to move/transform only the chosen objects, but I can't figure out how to implement this.
View 21 RepliesI have 3 main movieclips with roughly 100 other related movieclips that I need to move together frame per frame. For example main movieclip1 has about 100 frames. If main movieclip 1 is on frame 3, I want movieclips 4, 5, and 10 to also be on frame 100 I think the code may involve an array with forEach function.
View 1 RepliesI have an asset file (FLA) that will be updated a lot by other team members during the project. I would like to have an JSFL script that moves all selected movieclips in the timeline to a new layer (named using the movieclips library name).[code]...

View 2 RepliesI want to make an explosion and move other movieclips on stage depending on how far they are from the explosion point. If one mc is only 10px away from explosion it should go another 90px and if it is 75px away it should go another 25px. I can't get it to work (I don't remeber anything about vectors in math class..)

Could anybody point me to the right direction on how to do the background for [URL]? Is each of the tiny things seperate movieclips that move with relation to the mouse? I want to understand how it works since it seems to work efficiently and doesn't have any slowdown.
View 1 Repliesmy problem is I want to move all the instances of the attacker class, without using code inside the movieclips timeline.
like:
ActionScript Code:
CLASS:
speed = 5
oneverysingleframe(
allofmahchildren.y - = speed
)
Preferably something that integrates well with a Flex front end. Yes the Spring Security guys say this is possible, but all examples seem to use legacy jsp tag libraries making them half useless as examples.I don't want to spend a month setting up and learning how to use a security tool. I would like a tool which supports using annotations (@RolesAllowed etc), MINIMAL XML, and 'remember-me' features (not cookie based).Apache Shiro seems to support Flex/Silverlight/Swing as well but I'd like to know if there are any other alternatives that are NOT container specific.
View 3 RepliesI'm using an .swf banner for the header of a client project and am concerned that when iPhone and other mobile device users visit the site the header will be missing (being as Flash isn't supported on the iPhone).way in which iPhone visitors can see a .jpeg header when they visit the site so that the header isn't missing entirely? Perhaps this is an easy fix, however I am new to Flash
View 2 RepliesI'm looking at options for rendering PDFs on the server to avoid the user having to download them (they're big docs) and/or have a PDF reader installed and configured (audience is not tech savvy). The Google Viewer and Scribd are nice examples, but I'm not interested in making the PDFs available on the web (for Google) or storing them on another party's servers (Scribd).
My favorites right now are FlexPaper and PDFWebViewer.NET but I wanted to see if I'm missing any other options.Most of the related SO questions on this topic are somewhat dated, so maybe there's something new?

View 1 RepliesWhat are the alternatives of Flex builder for flex development (Free ware, open source preferred). I know one that is FlashDevelop, but it is not matured/ full fledged flex IDE.
View 3 Repliesthrough out a very old complicated fla there are buttons which set variables using _global paths
such as:
function menu1_2(Event:MouseEvent) {
global.mode = "hide_hotbox";
MovieClip(this).gotoAndStop("stage_1_b");
}
How can I make the variable "hide_hotbox" and others like it accessible and changeable from any movie clip -- whether they be nested in other movie clips or on the main timeline, etc?
I am programming a little software prototype as Flash/Actionscript3 application. Currently I registered some Events on stage - but it is cumbersome since stopPropoagation() needs to be used all the time. As Example: I am having a element shown via mouseclick would and a event for closing the menu on stage. Without using stopPropagation, the menu opens and closes again immediately. The hide-function is registered on some objects so just checking if target= stage would not do it, unfortunately.

View 4 RepliesWhile setInterval is handy, it's kind of limiting. Every time I want to add a Tween I have to add a new method. I do not want to alter the structure of my code just to add in some delays. Isn't there any way to say this without making methods for A and B?
// do A
// wait N seconds
// do B
I don't want to use a while loop with Dates because I think it will be blocking.
Is there a set of open standards technologies that I can use to achieve the same way of development as in Flex and Sivlerlight? I am talking about componentization, separation of concerns, rich graphics, states and effects . Please point out some tutorials and other resources if possible.
P.S. I KNOW that this is technically possible, so please do not respond by sending google search results or general JQuery tutorials. I've seen those already. I need to know how a Flex / Silverlight developer could design and implement an application in roughly the same way (imagine a rich HTML tag set, much like XAML/MXML, behind which stands JavaScript responsible for handling events and business logic.
I have a custom cursor and I want it to change when you highlight a MovieClip, and return to its default value when the MovieClip is not highlighted anymore.I've used MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, and MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT. The result isn't very smooth and there is a small delay to when the cursor changes. Also sometimes if you move the mouse fast enough the cursor won't change at all.
