ActionScript 3.0 :: Finding If Line Passes Through Object?
Jun 21, 2009I have two points and an object with a given width(or length). I'm trying to find out if the line between those two points passes through the object.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Finding And Replacing New Line Characters
May 10, 2010I am making some string variables to use in an animation. Another person in the office has has written all of the text using Word. Some of these strings have up to 50 lines and each new line has some sort of special character in there which creates an arror in AS. I can manually go through and place the cursor at the end of the line at that point, hit delete and then type in " ". This eliminates the error but I have a lot of these strings, days of work. I have not been able do a simple find and replace. Has anyone experienced this before? Is there a way to use notepad++?

Jan 8, 2010Im making a game, where a player controls a character moving around the screen using the mouse.the player moves using a tween, using the current x y pos and the click x y pos to move the character around here's the thing, i have objects on the screen (such as rocks, etc) that i do not want the user to be able to walk through. i do not want to use hit test to simply chuck the character off the object in real time because that's messy and it would mean the tween continued and stuff.. instead, i want to add some code to the top of the "movePlayer" function that checks to see if an object (such as some rocks) is going to be hit, and if it does, i want the tween to only go to this point (yellow in the below diagram)
Here's what i mean:the player clicks on the screen ( the blue dot) and instead of walking straight to the blue dot, the code determines the point at which the player will hit the big orange block, and only tween to that point, if there are multiple orange blocks in the way, the tween will stop the closest block.
Finding Where An Instance Of An Object Is Placed?
Mar 7, 2011I need to find an instance of a movieclip that is on my flash file. It is really big and uses a lot of memory. It says on the number of times used that there is one instance of the object on the flash file, but I can't find it. I thought I deleted them all but there must be one left. How do I go about finding it? It's a really large flash file with many layers, and I don't want to just delete the library file. Is there any way I can find where the object is placed in my file?
View 2 RepliesFinding Object At X And Y Coordinates
Oct 16, 2009We have a client server architecture where a C++ server talks to Flash clients. I'm developing the server and would like to send through tcp an xy coord to simulate a button press where the receiving flash client would find the topmost visible object at that coord and send a mouse event to it such that we could simulate play without a human present. I'm told this is incredibly difficult, but it seems to me that there must be a way to do this. Am I off the mark? Or is there a mechanism in flash to iterate through all objects regardless of parent child relationships to find a visible button at an x, y coord and signal a press event?
View 2 RepliesProfessional :: Finding An Object's 'path'
Jun 30, 2010I'm trying to write a plug-in for Flash CS5 that will display the "instances path" for a selected object. I'm trying to work with JSFL.I manged to get all selected objects using fl.getDocumentDOM().selection. I iterate over the array I get and look at the objects. I am able to get each of the objects' name. What I need to do is construct the "path" to that object (e.g., scene.scene.instance4.myText). Can anyone think of a way to do that? Is there a way to get the object that contains a certain object?
View 5 RepliesActionScript 3.0 :: Finding All References To An Object?
Aug 12, 2009* Is it possible to create weak references to objects (like theventListener/EventDispatcher is able to do) so that if they are removed, you won't be stuck keeping a reference and taking up space to something that should be garbage collected?* Is there any way to find out how many active variables are referencing a certain object? This would be handy to actually create weak references, since, if you for example, have a static array containing all objects created in that class, you can do a regular check to see if there is only one remaining reference, and if so, you can safely remove it.
* Also, might there be any way to list the entire space (one big chunk of binary data, most likely) of every variable currently running in the program, all references, basically, what Flash is currently storing in RAM?I'm pretty sure that Flash (as crappy and lacking as it is in so many areas) does not have anything like any of these built in, but hopefully there is at least something.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Finding Absolute Position Of An Object
Feb 25, 2012I'm often finding a need to get a stage-relative position of objects in my game, which are often buried several layers deep as children of children of children, etc, often with differently scaled/moved/rotated parents. The position i want isn't quite relative to the stage, but a main holder object i have on it called lvlHolder (see code below). I wrote a function to deal with it that recurses up the display list, accounting for each object as it goes, to get a global position. It's worked so far, but one thing it doesn't account for is rotation. I'm finding a need for that now, and i'm not sure how to account for rotation of objects, to rotate offsets from them,
My function is below. how i should enhance it to accomodate for the rotation of each parent object? Also any tips on optimisation would be good, as i'm using this a LOT (roughly twice per frame, per object, for physics calculations) I'm also wondering, in similar situations i've seen something related to transform matrices used

Flash :: Finding Correct Scope Of An Object For A Callback?
Dec 11, 2009I'm working on writing a tweening class in as2 that has a callback variable and I can't seem to find a good way to get the scope without specifically passing in a scope variable as well. This tweening class needs to work in classes as well as on the timeline. Here's what my codes looks like right now.params.scope[ params.onComplete ]( params.onCompleteParams );params is an object passed into the class. This works but I don't want to have params.scope in there.

Mar 30, 2010i've been working on a problem for a while now, which involves targeting the closest movieClip in relation to the x y coords of the mouse, I've attached a nice little acompanying graphic.Each mc added to the stage has it's own sub-class (HotSpots) which uses Pythag to measure distance from mouse. At this stage i can determine the closest value from my Main class but can't figure out how to reference it back to the movieclip... hope this makes sense. Below are the two Classes.My Main Class which attachs the mcs, and monitors mouse movement and traces closest value.[code]

The toString method gives me the class of the object, but what I'd really like to determine is the superclass of the object.

Actionscript :: Way To Erase / Delete Every Place Coin Passes Over Stage
Feb 9, 2010I have a project I'm working on and I am really stumped on making a seemingly simple animation work.The animation is of a coin scratching off a layer to reveal the layer beneath. I have the coin animated, and the layers in place. I am wanting to know if there is a way to erase/delete every place the coin passes over the stage, revealing the layer beneath. I've seen animations where ActionScript is used to allow a user to control the coin/pointer and activate the "scratch-off" effect. However, I am trying to come up with a method that is not a user-initiated animation since I want the effect to repeat in several places in the timeline.For the life of me I cannot figure out how to make this work. I am a moderately skilled Flash user and an ActionScript novice.
