Is there any other function similar to 'hitTestObject'. Am having problem with this function, b'coz it checks the collision on a box around that object. I want to find the actual collision with the object.
View 2 RepliesI was hoping someone could help me working out some advanced data reformatting. What I'm hoping for is a function where I can input a value along with an array of key positions like so:
function remap(percentage:Number, keypoints:Array) { ...
The array would start with the minimum and end with the maximum point, with nested key points along the way. For example, I would input something like remap(0.25, [0:0,80:50,100:100] ) and the function would 'imagine' a spline curve graph from (0,0)-(100,100) with a key point of (80,50), then return the y value that is 25% along that graph.
Collision detection is not working for me. My objects are planes in 3D space.
1) I have tried hitTestObject function.
2) I have also read [URL] and tried it. With no success in both cases.
I don't get any compiler errors, but I do however get the message: TypeError: Error #1006: hitTestObject is not a function. does anyone no the common cause of this? If you need me to post my code I can do that to.

View 2 RepliesI have a project which uses very similar code for I think 12 or 13 different movieclips. I actually copy-pasted a good chunk of the code changing words and numbers here and there.[code]The main point of this part of the project is that each movieclip is a selector on a scrollbar. I just wanted the selectors to look nice, so they tween up and down on rollover and when they are clicked they change from black and white to color. Also when clicked they move a very long movie clip called customizing_forms_mc, into view on the stage. The code is inside a movieclip that contains all the selectors. There is a layer for each selector and on that layer is the code for that selector. I was thinking that there might be a way to call a fuction perhaps with the variables that are brought to the function being strings that i could substitute in for the names of the movieclips. I tried attatching the fla or an swf but they are both too large. For a more detailed look at the code on the stage:[code]As I previously said there is a scroller with the selector buttons and when clicked they bring a certain part of another movieclip into view. Of course, everything is masked so it looks nice.
View 1 Repliesi am looking to create something similar to the str_replace function (from PHP) that will replace all occurrences of the search string the replacement string from within an larger string. Does anyone have something like that created already (save me the time)?
ie
var myStr:String = new String( "i wish i were an oscar meyer weiner" );
var myOutput = str_replace(myStr, "i", "we");
// myOutput would now = "we wish we were an oscar meyer weiner"

I have a particle generator class and I want to create a hitTestObject function on another object to check for any collisions with the particles produced.I bascially have a character already on the stage called character_mc and I want to be able to collect the particles, that means when the character touches a particle, the particle disappears.

I'm new to ActionScript but I've been following Lynda tutorials and tried to tailor them to my game. I simply want to make my character at the top of the screen shoot at enemies below. The error I'm getting when I press the shoot button is "Parameter hitTestObject must be non-null." I've read some other forum posts on this error for ideas but still can't seem to make mine work.

I'm new to papervision 3d and I created two display objects in basic view.
Here's a part of the code :
...
_stick = new Cube(materials, 50, 5, 500);
_ball = new Sphere(new ColorMaterial(0xfc0000), 80);
In the onRenderTick method, I tried to check whether two objects are hitted
[Code]...
However, stick.hitTestObject always returns false even if the stick really hits the ball as I see in the flash.
I had a problem with my hitTestObject collision detection a couple of days ago which has since been fixed (How can I solve my hitTestObject Collision Null Object Ref Error) with the help of you folks. My problem now is as such: When my "enemy.hit" comes into contact with "player.hit" it registers as a hit - this is good. When my "building.collide" comes into contact with "player.hit" it registers as a hit - this is good.
However, when my "building.collide" comes into contact with my "enemy.hit" it does not register, but sometimes it does register even though the only enemy on-screen is many pixels away from it - as if either the building or enemy "hitBox" is somewhere other than directly on the graphic(MovieClip in this case).

I'm making a simple snake game in as3. the problem I'm having is that the stroke on elements slightly overlap thus when the snake passes by the apple in an adjacent square it triggers hit test object. If i reduce the size or stroke of either the snake or the apple then they dont properly line up to the grid. is there a way i can use hittestobject but reduce the area of the object that will trigger it. ie only trigger if it hits the center of the object?
//this will hit when snake is adjacent due to overlapping strokes
if(snake.hitTestPoint(apple.x,apple.y,true))
{[code]............
when I traced the values for the bottom code the values are what would be expected but some reason hitTestPoint wont trigger. strangely if I do + 1 it will still work but because the stroke is 2 i need at least +3. If i set apple.x+n as a variable and use the variable in hitTestPoint it wont trigger. also on all cases where it does not trigger i get no errors and all trace values are what you would suspect...
I am placing my code within frames and using the code below to hit test an object. After the animated object leaves the stage, the hit test starts getting errors because it is now looking for an object that isn't there. NULL
Code:
var o1:MovieClip;
o1.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, o1hit);
function o1hit(Event) {
[Code]...
So the question is: How can I get the Hit Test to stop after a certain frame? Or does it have to do with the EventListener?
Does anyone know how I would go about replicating a similar 3D effect in Flash CS3?
[url].. and watch how the TV is framed with the card. I want to know how the card folds open to frame the TV etc. Dunno how to achieve that 3D effect. Frame by frame? 3D software?
I'm trying to figure out how to replicate an effect I've seen on the adidas site and another site. I'm not too sure what the effect is called or where to start looking for guidance on doing it myself so I thought i'd start here for some help or a point in the right direction. I think it might be called a mosaic but not sure.
An example of what I'm trying to[URL].. It basically takes some images, expands them on rollover to reveal some text also moving or covering surround images.
I'm searching something similar to the lightbox effect in javascript, but for flash.
I already tried succesfully "flash lightbox v2" (http://blog.alancurtis.it/tag/flash/) but I'm searching something native for flash, without javascript.
I have a bullet object and a boulder object (both movieclips originating from JPEGs) in my AS3 game. The trouble I'm having is with hitTestObject for the collision detection, as it's taking in to account the transparent areas and basing the collision on the bounding boxes surrounding the movieclips. This is a problem because the collisions are not accurate and if the bullet (long and thing line shaped) is at an angle...the bounding box is quite large around it...and it's "colliding" with the boulder even though it's visibly many pixels away. Is there a way to detect MovieClip collisions that ignore transparent areas?

View 5 RepliesFor developing Flash / ActionScript packages on Windows, there is no better free tool than FlashDevelop.Unfortunately, its reliance on the .Net framework make it ill-suited for AS3 development on Ubuntu.

View 2 RepliesIs there a ContentCache[1] for sound assets? Once I load in a sound I want to keep a reference to it so it doesn't have to load again. Possibly a class reference to it or to the byte array (I'm rusty here).
The reason for this is to keep it in memory so the Flash Player doesn't have to reload it so the start time (latency) is low. These are short audio clips.

View 4 RepliesAbout 1,5 years ago, met with a Web site. On the website you can upload multiple pictures of the object taken from different sides, and the site gave me a flash movie with my object but in 3D. Very similar to what it is now showing photos in Google maps.
Tell me where I can find a similar service or a script?
