ActionScript 3.0 :: Flash Hittest Only Works On Last Object In Array

Mar 24, 2012

For days now I have been trying to get this hit test to work and which ever way I try it, it always comes back to the same result. I get a hit on the last item I pushed into my array but none on the previous items I pushed in. Also if I put a .sort() on the array it only gives a hit on the last item of the array, no matter which one I push in.

The idea is that I want to drag and drop objects onto the stage, they may not overlap so I need a hit test on the objects so I can make them undroppable when the hit test is true.

This is the part I have for dragging the objects to the stage, and adding them to arrays for the hit test.

Code:
private function onClickDragBuilding1ToGameField(e:MouseEvent):void{
building1Placeholder.x = mouseX-25;
building1Placeholder.y = mouseY-25;

[Code]...

Now if I run this I can add the object to the stage just fine no errors or other issues but the hit test only works on the last object I added to the stage/array and not the previous object I added to the stage/array.

Sso I drag the first object to the stage. (no other object are available yet so nothing happens, this is as it should be) Then I drag a second object to the stage, this reacts to the first object and returns the hit test as true. (Also great and working as it should.) Then I drag a 3th object to the stage, this reacts to the 2nd object I dragged just fine and return a true value, but it does not react to the 1 object I dragged onto the stage. Then when I drag a 4th object to the stage it will react to the 3th object I added, but not the 1st ad 2nd object.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Hittest Object Within An Object Array?

Mar 15, 2011

I have a function that checks if 2 objects are touching OB1 and OB2, if they do touch it runs the rest of the collision code where OB1 is the character and OB2 is a tile that the player cannot pass through.

I came across an issue where i wanted sprites to be separate from the hitboxes but my collision code works by checking the height and width of an object (you guys know the drill).

So i have a Tile class with 2 parts to it, a bitmap and a movieClip.

So i have this setup(pseudocode):

Code:
loop
{
function collision (ob1 , ob2[loop].movieclip)
}

This should work right? But it ONLY works for the first object in the loop!

ActionScript 3.0 :: HitTest - Object Detection / Looping Through Array

Oct 14, 2011

I've attached a zip with a few custom classes and a .FLA. Ignore the custom classes. I'm getting repeated
"Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at Environment_fla::MainTimeline/hitTest()".

I understand that this error means I'm asking it to reference something that's no longer there. How better to hitTest many objects in an array. My game involves creating a bunch of balls that will fall into buckets. I need to keep track of how many touched the buckets, how many fell off the screen, and remove each accordingly.

Here is the code from my main FLA
ActionScript Code:
var ballTimer:Timer = new Timer(200);
var changeTimer:Timer = new Timer(50000);
ballTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, throwBall, false, 0, true);
ballTimer.start();
changeTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, changeColor);
changeTimer.start();

ActionScript 3.0 :: HitTest Works But Also Returns Error

Sep 5, 2009

Perhaps I should leave well enough alone, but it bugs me that my hitTest gives me an error message even though it seems to work as intended. I have two movieClips running side by side. The second clip, the hitTest object is actually in an array that I keep pushing every second.

[Code]...
 
I have tried to trace cars[i].name and it returns "instance XXX" instead of what I would have expected, which would have been something like cars1, cars2, etc... If that is creating the error, I don't know how to fix it. I have thought also that perhaps the array itself is being referenced, but again I wouldn't know how to change it.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Perform A HitTest That Only Works On Children With A Certain Depth?

Feb 27, 2012

I have a problem with the getChildIndex() method. I have an array that stores multiple children and I want to perform a hitTest that only works on children with a certain depth, with one that is lower than the other hitTest "partner". Therefore I want to check the depth of that certain child.I tried to trace the depth, but I get crazy errors doing that. No matter if I do it from the child itself, or from the Document Class.

trace(getChildIndex(foes[7][1][1]))

[7] is the current level, [1] is the type of child and the second [1] is the child itself called [Object EnGob]. I put it there by the push() command.

Flash :: Use HitTest Between BitmapData And An Object?

Aug 23, 2011

I have converted a PNG into a bitmap, then converted that into bitmapData.

I have a object called _player, and I wish to add collision detection, however I can seem to get it to work.

my code is:

if(bmd1.hitTest(new Point(_player.x, _player.y))){
trace("hit");
}

bmd1 is my bitmapData,_player is the object is wish to test against.

I am getting the following error:

1136: Incorrect number of arguments, Expected 3

I have looked around but cannott find what argument I am missing

I have tried

if(bmd1.hitTest(new Point(_player.x, _player.y), 50, _player)){
trace("hit");
}

I should mention that the reason for me taking this approach is that I have a PNG, with transparent areas, I need to test for collisions in the non-transparent areas, which is why I was using this approach

I have a PNG, i import that and convert to bitmap, then convert to bitmapData

ActionScript 2.0 :: Hittest With Multiple Array - Without The Rest Of The Array Numbers Being Reset

Mar 20, 2009

The Setup: For each movieclip the hittests a set of "target" movieclips an array is given a value. If mcIcon1 is dropped onto mcTarget1 the first number in the vacant array is given the value of one. The Issue: If I remove mcIcon1, for example, from the mcTarget1 movieclip I can't find a way of just removing the 1 from that array without the rest of the array numbers being reset.

Flash :: Javascript :: ExternalInterface Works With Embed Tag But Not With Object Tag

Then it works on Firefox and Chrome (the AS function is called and works properly) - (it doesn't work in IE though). How come it doesn't work with an object tag? How "safe" it is to use the embed tag instead of the object tag? Is it not obsolete? Note, that it is definitely not a timing issue - If I call the AS function from JS from an onclick function - then the results are the same.

I want to make the object such that it falls on a rotated platform and land according to it's  angle. I've success fully make it landed according to it's angle before it lands. but the problem here is that, after the landing when I trigger the rotating platform, the object falls when the platform is out of it's hit area. Is there a way such that it will work like a car wiper and wipe the object towards it's direction?

Actionscript 3 :: Get The Object Type From A HitTest?

Jul 10, 2010

I'm coding a really simple 2D platforming game in Flash using AS3. I'd like to define two different types of terrain surfaces that the player can walk on based on classic platforming elements. Type1: the player can walk on, and if the player jumps, they will hit their head on it and bounce back to the ground. Type2: the player can also walk on, but if the player jumps and hits their head, they will simply pass through the surface and not bounce back to the ground.

I am using hitTestPoint to resolve collisions for this. My question is: What would be the best method to test for what TYPE of ground I am colliding with? Each ground type has it's own Class associated with it in my Flash IDE and all the different terrain surface types are in the same movie clip on the stage.

Currently I'm testing to see if it hit one type of ground surface, then i'm testing if it hit the other, and then based on those results, I process what I want to happen. This seems to work okay right now, but I'm imagining that I may want to create more than 2 types of ground to collide with. For example, moving platforms. It seems like the code will start to get complex

Eg.

if(_groundType1.hitTestPoint(_player.x, _player.y, true))
{
if(_groundType2.hitTestPoint(_player.x, _player.y, true))
