Flash :: Get The Object Colliding?
Jan 21, 2011Is there a way to know which object an object is colliding with?... I want to create a 'box object' in flash that can identify any other object(Movieclips) that collides with it. For example, if I drop the box on the 'field' (engine or world), and i put anything inside it, I would like the box to tell me what kind of object it is colliding with. I can't use hitTestObject because I don't know which object the box will collide with in advance.
A rough pesudocode to what I want to achieve is as follows:
if ( Movieclip(parent). UNKNOWN_OBJECT .hitTestObject(this) )
trace(UNKNOWN_OBJECT.name);
UNKNOWN_OBJECT in the above example doesn't necessarily have the same data type.
ActionScript 1/2 :: Have Movie Clip Effects Only Operate WHILE The Two Objects Are Colliding With Each-other?
Oct 18, 2009I've been trying to figure out a way to have movie clip effects only operate WHILE the two objects are colliding with each-other. It seems after they collide, however, They no longer need to be in contact to execute the supposedly conditional command. In an attempt to get around "hit Test" I made a fake hitTest, below:
function zone(mc, zquestion){
if(man._y < mc._y +25 && man._y > mc._y -25 && man._x < mc._x +25 && man._x > mc._x -25){ mc.onRelease = function(){ trace(zquestion); } }else { null;} } onEnterFrame = function(){ zone(block1, "Insert Important Question here?"); if(Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)){man._x -= 5;} if(Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)){man._x += 5;} if(Key.isDown(Key.UP)){man._y -= 5;} if(Key.isDown(Key.DOWN)){man._y += 5;} }
except my attempt at "null/do nothing" if coordinates don't equal all of the above has failed. I really don't understand the "else" command, and would like to know how to create a "if NOT X...then DO NOT do Y".

Feb 8, 2010In one area of my application I am creating a display that builds itself with actionscript during a loop.

Jul 6, 2010Alright I'm pretty sure I know what my problem is, but not sure how to fix it. I created a 50x50 grid of objects I want to be individually clickable using the following code to generate them:
[Code]...
I'm assuming this should work except for one issue, the above code is within another object that I have set to be able to clickdrag (so you can drag the whole map at once). Because of this, using "this.onMouseDown" seems to apply to the entire mapObject and gets the depth for each of the 2,000 some odd objects I've created. How do I set it up so that if I click on a nodeObject it gets the depth for just that and assigns it to a variable?

View 0 RepliesActionScript 3.0 :: Where To Create Array Of Items (Which Class File)
Jan 25, 2012This is a hard question to phrase and having trouble finding the right search terms. In the last couple of weeks I have been learning AS 3.0 and the fantastic Classes that are cool as heck (not a programmer... well sort of). Everything has been working great and I've grasped the concepts well, but because of my lack of experience I am not sure of the "best" way to do some things. For example where (which "as file" to create an array of characters?)
This is a very simple game:
25 "characters" (character class in Character.as)
All characters have the exact same properties with different values:
charName:int
life:int
strength:int
movement:int
type:String
char_mc:MovieClip (or sprite.. probably mc)
There are 2 types of characters; shipCrew and aliens. The differences between the two is that shipCrew can use various weapons and have unique "names". Aliens don't have names, just a type and they can grow and/or multiply. All of the interaction and basic game play I can handle no problem once I figure out "where" to create my characters and classes and or subclasses. My initial "training experiments" worked well... until I started reading up on "best practices" in coding and realized I had it kind of all mixed up and backwards. My concern is "doing it wrong at the start".
My first stab at this was to create the array of ALL characters in the "main.as" class for the document, then looping the array, creating new character instances on the stage. Since each character has different properties I just created the same array properties for each with a different value. So basically I am "hard coding" all the characters up front "by hand" so to speak with all the properties in the array. Since they were all identical basically, looping the array to "do stuff" was straight forward... for now. The array looks horrible in the code and is hard to "read" but since it's all "static" anyway it doesn't seem to matter... but would still like to "do it right".
Game play is simple because at a basic level each character regardless of what type it is will do the same thing. I would expand on the differences later. However as part of this inquiry I will need class instances on the stage to communicate with each other (like the idea of a registry for this). So my questions are:
Should I create individual as class files for all 25 characters? (icky?)
Or use an array to store the character class objects? A dictionary? A vector?
They all worked, I tried them all. I like arrays better because easier to deal with, but dictionaries look like fun and might be more efficient (only 25 items, how bad could it be?) storing in an object works too. Whatever type of "array thingy" I choose, Which class file do I create the array in? In the "main" document class or the character class itself? In another type of file like an "init" file? Could I create a "custom" file "type" or class... thingy like "CharacterCreator.as"? How about using a registry?
ActionScript 3.0 :: Count The Amount Of Items In The XML File And Then Create A For-each Loop
Sep 24, 2009I have 10 dynamic text fields inside a movieclip, which are populated via an XML file. However, the xml file sometimes has less than 10 items. It never has more than 10. This results in the following error, which is normal. I need the code to count the amount of items in the XML file and then create a for-each loop. I can visualize it, but I don't know how to write it. Basically what I need the code below transformed in to is this... (notice the #'s)

ActionScript 2.0 :: Calculate The Direction And Speed A Circle Has After Colliding With A Static (non-moving) Circle?
Mar 8, 2005I'm developing a game atm, and I need some help on the mathematics/coding of colliding circles (and their change in x/y speed). What i need to know is how to calculate the direction and speed a circle has after colliding with a static (non-moving) circle. I know how to detect a collision between the two, but I'm not sure about the maths I need to give the circle the right speed and direction after the collision
If i do know how far away the two circle-points (in the middle of each) are to each other (in both x and y coords) would it be easy for me to find the new speed and direction of the large circle in the example above? I know that I somehow should use the angles to pretend the circle hits a flat "wall" (as it only hits one point), and then calculate the new speed/direction. My only problem is that I'm not sure how to decide the angle of this flat "wall" and how x and y speeds should change when colliding with a wall that is angled. Does anyone here have any insight, links or tips on how I can du this?

Aug 15, 2010I'm creating a facebook application in flex. I'm actually working on the friends component that shows your friends who are using the application. now, each friend has a profile image.
I created the component using a s:List element.
In the Skin Class of the element i configured the requestedColumnCount to 3, which means it shows 3 friends. i added buttons to scroll left and right in the list.
Whenever I scroll to see a different friend, for a half of a second i see no image because the List component is loading the image in order to view it.
is there a way to make the list preload all the elements so i won't have this kind of problem ?

Feb 10, 2009how to get my CollectionEvent to work, and I seem to be able to see the problem, but I am not sure how to get it to work properly.
In my actionscript, it seems to only tell that event.items.length is 1, while I am calling my array collection from the HTTPService, and I have tested the length of my Array Collection, which seems to be accurate. What I tried to do is to use that number in the CollectionEvent function, but that does not work at all.
Attach Code
private function onChange(event:CollectionEvent):void{
for (var i:int=0; i< event.items.length; i++) {
