ActionScript 3.0 :: Breakout Game - Make The Ball Move Fast Without Sacrificing The Accurate Detection Of Collisions?
Oct 27, 2010
I am making a breakout type game where you bounce a ball around and it hits & breaks blocks.The issue im having is with handling the ball after a collision is detected.Every frame the ball checks four points on its surface to see if they are colliding with any of the blocks. The problem occurs when the ball starts moving fast. The ball's radius is 7 pixels. If it is moving upwards at higher than7 px/ frame, then the ball might end up half way into one of the blocks.
In that case the ball detects a collision on its top AND on its side (which is bad -- If the ball is travelling upwards it should detect the collision at the top of the ball)how I could fix this so that I can make the ball move fast without sacrificing the accurate detection of collisions??

I'm currently trying to build a hidden object game, but am having difficulty getting accurate results with where the mouse is clicking. I thought using hitTestPoint to check whether the mouse's coordinates were actually colliding with the pixels of the shape would work, but this produces the exact same results as simply checking for a MouseEvent.CLICK event. It seems to be returning true even if the pixels being clicked on are transparent (i.e. just background/not part of the shape). Is there any way to check whether the pixels being clicked on actually contain the image of the object being searched for?

I need to build a flash learn game to my students. It is to explain the angles and phisics over the billiard/snooker Table. Something similar to this: [URL] The only thing I can do until now is drag the ball! My doubts are:
- How to make the stick move with the center in the point near the ball;
- How to draw the yellow line;
- How to calculate the corners;
- And in the last, how to move the ball with accelerated motion when press a button.

After read a lot about ball physics, watch some examples and few days of trying making pinball with bitmaps, I use simple (easy to work with) and fast performance Physics AS3 engine for bitmaps [URL] but still cant fix problem: if ball is moving too fast and object on path is too small, there will be no collision detection (code works perfect only with bigger objects or if ball is moving slower). I am not good at physics and maths. Here is function code which make physics for ball on every frame rate (but maybe its better to change it to setTimeout):
function showFrame(e:Event) // onEnterFrame{
var collisions:Array = collisionlist.checkCollisions();
if(collisions.length) // if collision{
var collision:Object = collisions[0]; // get collision information
var angle:Number = collision.angle; // get collision angle

I have 4 ball movie clips, a playhead and four target movieclips called mc_1-4, the array, (my_array), has 4 elements, which are each defined as having values of 0: I have a hitTest set up that will trace my_array to the output window each time it hits mc_1, to see what is happening. However the hitTest prints the array 3 times?
Am i right in thinking that this is because the hitTest is being triggered on entry of mc_1 in the center and upon exit?I need to make this hitTest be triggered once when the hitTest passes the center of mc_1. Secondly if any of the balls have been dragged and dropped on to mc_1 i want the array value with an index of 0, to change to 100 from 0 (not in terms of its index position because my array is only 4 elements long, in terms of its actual value) which i have tried to implement but i cannot configure the right code.
1. hit tests that only trigger once when they pass through the center of the object thus tracing one array.
2.use the balls 1-4 to make the array index 0, have a value of 100 if they are in contact with mc_1.

Like when the ball bounces off of other objects. I've tried "xvel *= 1;" but it does not work well at all and had some glitches.

I am writing a large elearning course using flash.As a break for the student, I want to include a breakout game on one frame. I tried loading the game (game01.swf) into an MC container. The game loaded but did not function correctly.Then, using the Timeline Select All Frames, Timeline Copy, and Timeline Paste functions, I copy/pasted the game layers into an inserted MC symbol. Then I pasted the MC symbol onto the desired course frame. The game still did not run correctly.

I was wondering how you get the collsion detection to be just what is in the MCs instead of a rectangularness of the movieClip.

Im working in FlashDevelop on a 'breakout' game where you control a paddle with your mouse and a ball bounces around the screen and breaks blocks.Right now I have a Main, Paddle, and Ball class. In the main class I added a Paddle called player as a public static variable. In my Ball class I have a collisionCheck() function. This way I can access 'player' from within my Ball class for testing collisions.
At somepoint in the game there will be a powerup that adds mutiple balls to the stage. Right now I have a function in the main class call addBall() to add a new Ball to the stage.I am now running into trouble. Working on the collision check method in my Ball class, I dont know how to check if a ball is hitting another ball because as of right now, balls are being added with the addBall function, so they can't be declared as public static variables.

I'm using Adobe Flash CS4.The language is Action Script 3In my library I have 2 items:playerwallthe player object is already functioning correctly with moving him around.Now when I place multiple wall objects into the stage (wall = 32x32 px) I want to prevent the player from moving when he walks into a wall.I've tried giving all the walls the same instance name and just check for a collision with that object but when I do that the collision only works for 1 of the walls.I could give all the instances of wall a different collision script but this is way to time consuming, is there another way to globally define the wall as solid for the player?

I am creating a board game and I am using Object Oriented Programming with AS3. I created a movie clip with a circle that moves across the game board. There are 18 squares and 18 frames. I have a button that gives you a value with a dice with the random number function:
public function rollDie():void
{_dieValue = Math.ceil(Math.random()*6)
this.gotoAndStop(_dieValue);}
I have a class for the dice button, die, gameboard, and the main board. I am trying to make the circle move across the board(or go to the frame in the mc) depending on what the value I get with the dice. Here is my code so far:
[Code]....
The mc instance for the gameboard is gameBoard. Also, if anyone knows how to trigger a labeled frame depending on which square the circle lands on that would be a plus.

I'm working on a game (my first) where objects touching is A-Ok, but I want to detect overlapping collisions ahead of time, prevent them, and react. This seems like a pretty basic and common thing, such as a character walking along a platform (even though by touching it it's 'colliding'), but of all the many many collision detection tutorials I've looked at, none of them have covered this case--they all assume that objects touching should be indistinguishable from overlapping. I've been using a workaround of a slightly smaller hitbox to use for collisions, but it has issues of it's own that make it not so good. So basically I'm looking to redo my CD from scratch.
So, like I said, I'd like to know how to differentiate between 'touching' collisions and overlapping collisions, but even a way to keep touching collisions from triggering entirely would work.

I have four buttons across the bottom of my scene. When hovered, the buttons "should" animate upwards to reveal more of the button that is hidden. It should stay there until you mouse-out then it should animate to its original position. My problem is it seems that the buttons active area moves with the up and downward animation making it freak out and move very fast up and down as if it is being told to animate back down then triggered to animate back up at the same time. So it looks very bad and unusable. I'm not really sure why it's doing this. It's a little hard to explain so here's a url to download my FLA.

I'm making a Flash game and rather than putting all the AS3 on a seperate .as file, I'm throwing it on the timeline, which may or may not be a mistake since this game is getting really big, really fast and messy.And so I'm getting this error when I test:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference at GameBeta_MainTimeline_fla::MainTimeline/frame1()
From what I've read on this error, it refers to something that isn't instantiated yet, like something that's out of order? Like I'm referring to something that doesn't exist at the point in time that I'm referring to it?
stop();
//TITLE PAGE
play_game.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, startgame)[code].....
Before I had each page with it's own Actionscript and buttons inside their own movieclips on the timeline. That was getting confusing so I took everything out of the movieclips to place everything on one timeline and have one layer of Actionscript hoping to simplify things and find the problem easier. No luck. It's supposed to have a Title page and a button that goes to the 2nd page where you input your name, and while you type, it shows your name before you confirm by hitting another button that finally goes to the Character Creation page. When I test, I just get that Error#1009, it'll get to the 2nd page for the name input, but the text fields act wacky and the button to proceed isn't working. I'm hoping that when I find the source of this error, the rest will be fixed as well.

I have a small mask that I need to animate across the stage in response to clicking various buttons. It has to go a different distance each time depending on which button is clicked along the x axis. I can get at the starting and ending x co-ordinates. I need to develop a set of x coordinates so that the mask starts moving fast and slows down as it gets nearer - kind of like the easing effect. I figured using some sort of simple 1/x^2 expression and have spent an hour or so fiddling in excel. Trouble is its a LONG TIME since I did maths, and I can't remember what formula to use. Have tried google with "parabola", "simple curves" etc.

I'm using the actionscript below to Move Object Using The Arrow Keys and it works fine but I want to modify it so that when I press the up key it goes to and play a movie clip. Basically it's a ball movie clip that responds to the arrow key but on the up key it plays a bouncing movieclip and everything remains aligned.
Here is the script-
var speed =5;
this.onEnterFrame =function(){
if(Key.isDown(Key.UP)) {
circle._y -= speed;
} if(Key.isDown(Key.DOWN)) {
circle._y += speed;
} if(Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)) {
circle._x -= speed;
} if(Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)) {
circle._x += speed;
}};
