ActionScript 3.0 :: Grid - Making Each Object Wait Before Clicking
Dec 18, 2011
I've been working a game where you drag an object onto a grid. This then 'grows' over time. Once it has taken about 5 seconds to grow, the player can click on it (only 5 seconds for debugging reasons) and 'collect' money as a result. The problem I'm having however. Is that I cannot remove it once the timer even has occurred. I get the 2007 parameter error, child must be non null. Problem is, I don't see how it is null as I've already defined it? I'm rather lost - and somewhat new to AS3.
Code:
private function placeSeeds(e:MouseEvent):void {
var seedsRow:int=Math.floor((mouseY-300)/75);
var seedsCol:int=Math.floor((mouseX-150)/65);
// check tiles
if (seedsRow>=0&&seedsCol>=0&&seedsRow<3&&seedsCol<3&&itemsArray[seedsRow][seedsCol]==0) {
var placedSeeds:lolMC=new lolMC();// constructs the object
[Code] .....
I'm trying to code the snap to grid functionality. The dragged object should snap to the grid if the distance between the object bounds and a grid line is less than 5px. I found a way to do it if the object's rotation is 0 but it doesn't work if I rotate the object. I need a different approach. Can you point me into the right direction with the algorythm or any source code?
I have drawn intersecting lines. The user can click on a region inside the angle formed by the two lines.When the user clicks inside the area, the small region formed by the arc between the two lines showing the angle should change. How can I do that.the region between the intersecting lines is sprite object to dispatch event listener, but the arc is shape object.
I have a problem with the way Flash handles a script I am making. What I currently have is 10 movieclips which I want to play after each other. Right now, I am using a for loop to start each clip. Naturally this will make it so that each clip starts almost immediately after the one before it. make a script that will make Flash wait with playing a clip until the one before it is done?
I have a site with a common SWF embedded at the top of each page, and then regurlar graphic/text HTML content below it.I was anticipating that the SWF might have a bit of a delay for it to load, and that the rest of the page would be appearing pretty much right away... and that DOES happen from time to time.
However, the one thing I wasn't expecting, and don't quite understand, is that sometimes the SWF will appear first and even start playing, yet the rest of the page doesn't appear for a second or two, so I end up with this SWF movie floating in black.
Not entirely sure what is holding the page back, since most of the graphics are shared/common on each page. There are some embedded videos (with poster frames, so they shouldn't take too long to load) on some pages, which are probably the culprits.
What I don't get (besides how to further optimize the pages), is why the SWF appears and plays, if it is an element within the table that contains all the content of the page. I thought that tables only display once EVERYTHING in it is loaded... So, why would the SWF appear before the other elements are ready? I'm assuming the other (non-common) elements are not finished downloading... although I'm starting to suspect that maybe they are, and the delay is something else... like the embedded QT's 'initializing' or something?
im making an intereactive map and i have certain areas in the map where you can click and a video pops up so you can view real footage of the area. I just need help making the video pop up like how to import it and whatnot.
I want to make a grid with movieClip. But I can't make no matter how much time I have used exploring and trying.I have 2 movieClips and button
1 - mc_main
2 - Row
Both movieClips are linked to classes. mc_main is on stage its a small dot.when I press button a new instance of Row should be attached to mc_main and should append. Below is code if anyone tell me how to attachieve this.
i'm triying to make a dinamic generated plane, that plane has a grid with lines in X and Y, by now i'm able to generate a grid clicking and dragging points to make 4 lines and i generated 2 lines between the midles of the opposites lines like this:
I'm making a project, So I've got several questions.. -How do I make the Movie play or pause by the click of a keyboard or a mouse button? -How do I Open another SWF within the SWF (loadMovieNum doesn't work anymore ) And last question is How do I move the "video app" I actionscript'd and make it larger . Here's the code I used to put the "video app".
Code: var camera:Camera = Camera.getCamera(); camera.setMode(550,400,60,true); // setMode(videoWidth, videoHeight, video fps, favor area) // Now attach the webcam stream to a video object. var video:Video = new Video(); video.attachCamera(camera); addChild(video);
So far my logic seems fine for half of the experiment, however, not the other half:[URL] What I'm trying to accomplish is when a user holds down the mouse and drags it across the stage the movie clip will rotate in 3D space horizontally. That works, however, when the mouse is released the movie continues to rotate along with the mouse position. When the movie clip is clicked again then it will stop rotating, but it cannot be clicked and dragged a second time. The link above explains it the best. Also I want to make it so the movie will start to rotate when the mouse is down anywhere on the stage and not just the mc itself.
I have a simple component I created which I instantiate in my main program like so:[code]I receive the error "Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference" on the second line because newMessage was not fully created prior to hitting the second line of code trying to set my "body" textarea's text. I know I can build a "creationComplete" event handler, but isn't there a simpler way to do this?
I'm embedding a flash object in an html page and calling windows.onload to initialize the Flash movie. The problem is that the windows.onload does not wait for the Flash object to completely load. Is there way to make sure that the Flash object has fully loaded?
Here is the code I'm using: <head> <script> var falshObj = null; function pageInit() { thisMovie(); [Code] .....
I created four instance of movieclip on stage and named them t1_mc,t2_mc,t3_mc,t4_mc. Then I made and array and loaded them inside the array
var arr1:Array = new Array( t1_mc, t2_mc, t3_mc, t4_mc ); var names:String; //function made to add event listener to each object function addListner():void { for ( var i:uint = 0; i < arr1.length; i++ ) [Code] .....
So, here is what I'm trying to do. I have a page full of characters for a project I'm working on now, and I want to add some interactivity to the page by making each of the characters clickable and having a description of the character pop up that you can then close. I have included 3 images of what I'd ideally like tohappen.Picture 1: The page in just a normal state, nothing happening.Picture 2: On rollover, I would like the character to pop out and enlarge.I know how to make it enlarge on rollover, but I don't understand how you would make it come to the front above other layers. with understanding how to do.
Picture 3: I want a description like this to pop up when you click on the character. I have a layer at 50% opacity to fade the background out as well. I need to know how to:1. Make this image show up when you click on the respective character.2. Make this image disappear when you click on the red X button at the top right
I have a menu MovieClip that has its buttons inside of it. I have the menu with a MousEvent.CLICK and trying to figure a way to register what you are clicking on.
I have a MovieClip that when the update(); function is called, it checks the cells (on a grid) around it to see if there is an object there. If so it updates it's image to reflect that.
How i'm doing it now is something like 40 if/else/else if statements..
I'm trying to make a game that looks low-resolution, and thus I'm upscaling everything by 2x. However, the game is to have a custom cursor, and it ruins the illusion if the cursor follows your mouse every pixel. I want the cursor to follow your mouse, but to snap to every two pixels so as to not ruin the illusion of low resolution.
My Flash animation is basically similar to this link provided by Adobe Developers.The Flash is about star moving in depth space to makes the star looks alike in 3D.I am going to implement the button to change the color of that object (star).I'm creating 3 new symbols and draw each a rounded-square button filled with red, green and blue respectively.So, I wish to click that button when running, and when I select red button, the star will changing to red color for all.
I am currently creating a game similar to cafe world, farmville etc (social game). Would like to know how could I make an object move in an isometric direction when my mouse move. For example, when I want to build a house, I click on the house build button, and when my mouse move, I want my house object (stored in the library) to be move together with my mouse in an isometric direction. To give you all a better impression of the solution i am looking for, click on this link for a sketch: [URL]. So I want something like only when my mouse move 20 units more than the original mouse position, then my house item should move to the next grid.
the code works fine , but actually i want the "Object(parent).showHighScores();" to be load automatically without clicking the button (auto call the function once the page loaded), i tried use Event.Enter_frame but it wont stop running,
I am working on a project where I need an interactive matrix of 500x500 clickable elements. I thought this would be an easy task in actionscript3 but boy was I wrong. I was able to create a matrix where each element was a Sprite object with attached Mouse click event. But here the performance problems begin. FlashPlayer10 can handle up to 100x100 matrix, but when I increase my matrix I start getting script timeout in browser player... Here is how my "unfinished" matrix looks like.So how should I approach this problem? I was hoping flash will be able to handle so many elements, but I guess I was wrong. I want to have a pan control to pan around for objects off screen and of course zoom in/out control.It's true I'm not very professional in Flahs and actionscript but a friend who is told me this would be no problem implementing in AS3? I need this in flash as the thing needs to be hosted on website.
I'm currently working with the OLAPDataGrid component and got stuck at a relatively simple task: I want to style the last row of the grid differently from the rest, so my cell item renderer needs to know whether he's rendering the last row with content in the overall grid, including those rows currently not rendered because they are outside the visible grid space. AdvancedGridListData's rowIndex property only gets me the row index of the renderer relative to the range of visible grid rows, i.e. when I scroll down the grid, a data item with an index greater than 0 gets the rpw index = 0.
