ActionScript 3.0 :: Hit Testing A Specific Side Of An Object?
Feb 18, 2009
I'm making a game that's similar to Pong. Basically instead of a long, skinny paddle, the paddle is wider -- but this creates some problems when hit testing.
I don't want the ball to be able to hit the side of the paddle, only the front of it (the side facing the other paddle, technically the side part). I'm basically wondering how I can run a hit test in AS3 but for only one side of the object. The object is a basic movieclip.

How would I be able to create a scene where you scroll left to right using the mouse, but instead of having it at a constant rate and having the picture (background) move when your mouse is at a certain x coordinate to have it be that when you move the mouse away from an object the background will move, and will move faster the farther away the mouse is? I have tried scrolling back and forth with x coordinates, but I haven't been able to get this to work.
(I found an example of what I'm trying to describe here; [URL], just click play, skip, leave, and then leave again and you'll be able to see it).

I am new to actionscript. I have created a script that will play server side sound object and client side mp3 files alternately. Now, I would like to play the client side mp3 first then only play server side sound object alternately. However, I have no idea how can I do so. The following is the code that need to be swapped:

I'm having trouble testing for an object's visibility on the stage without using an event listener. I know this is pretty basic, but I can't seem to find anything online and none of my flash friends are around eitherowing code, what is it that I need to do to activate the function? I thought you could write a function without having an event listener.
function test (e:Event) {
if (square_mc.visible==true) {
trace("square is visible");

I am using Quicktest professional 11 trial version. I have a flex application for testing. When I try to record action performed on the flex application. QTP stores it as MacroMediaFlashPlayerActiveX rather than the origin button or link. I am using flex 3.5.0 and internet explorer 7.

so I have a function on the Main Timeline that creates an instance of the class Ball once every 60 frames (1 second). In the class code for Ball I have this:
Code:
package {
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.events.*;
[Code].....
As you can see, I am trying to make it so that if two instances of the class Ball collide, then it should output "STOP". But it isn't working.

I basically need to scale an object up when the user rollsover the button which I have created dynamically already and I need to make sure the object is fully scaled up before I can allow the user to scale it back down again.Ive tried putting 2 tweens (x and yscale) into a function but not sure how to check if the tweens have finished. Im assuming if I check the function is complete it wont take into consideration the tweens may still be running.

MouseEvent.target will return the target object... but how do I access the specific object type? I know it's probably simple... but it's late and I'm fried. The code below obviously doesn't work. I just need someone to tell me what to put instead of [object MovieClip] and [object SimpleButton]
Code:
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fOnClick);
function fOnClick(e:MouseEvent):void {

I'm working on Flex component which can be resized using handles on the right and left (that is, if you click and drag the left side, the component will grow to the left, if you click and drag on the right, it will grow to the right).
Right now I am using:
var oldX:Number = this.x;
this.x = event.stageX + (initial.x - initial.stageX); // Move the left edge to the left
this.width += oldX - this.x; // Increase the width to compensate for the move to the left
But that makes the right side jump around, and generally looks ugly.
What is the "right" to do this? Is there something fundamental I've gotten wrong?
Edit: The jitter occurs on the right side of the component. When I set this.x, the component moves to the left, the screen redraws, then the width is updated, and the screen redraws again.

I have a picture and I want the object to be on the left side. When I click on the door on the right side, the object will start moving ( with motion tween ) to the door and when it reaches the door, Scene 2 will appear.

I am moving movieclips around my stage in relation to the users mouse location. All of my movieclips have the registration point placed in the default top left corner. As an object moves off the stage to the left it suddenly disappears when the registration point reaches the edge of the stage. I would like to see the whole object move off the screen instead of just disappearing when the left corner reaches the edge. I would move the registration point to the right side but I would like the movieclip to be able to move off all sides of the stage (top, bottom, left, right)

Is there any way to make a flash object where users can interact but has no server side support. All users are in the same network, the swf file would be on a shared drive. Nothing complicated, just one frame where everyone (about 10 user) can make modification. No login, no password.

Im in need of a simple code which makes a MovieClip move side to side horizontally preferably using the attachMovie function.The MovieClip must not go off the screen so the movement will have to be limited within the stage size.

I want to create an application that has these features
- At client side: Display a list of images, when user click on one image, data will be stored in MySQL database.
- At server side: Manage images used in client side, I can delete, add new images.
Is this possible for me to achieve this using Flex? And if it is able, will my output be 2 separate SWF files? And where can I find the materials to read on writing such applications?

Here's the AS2 way:
1. Timeline has only 2 frames
1. Make movie clip and give it an instance name (in this case: box_mc). Make sure this takes up frame 1 and 2 on timeline.
2. On a sparate actions layer on frame 1 put this down:
mouse_x = _xmouse;
setProperty (_root.box_mc, _x, mouse_x+((getProperty(_root.box_mc,_x)-mouse_x)/2));
3. On frame 2 of actions layer put:
gotoAndPlay (1);
how to do this in AS3? I really want to be able to have 3d rotation tweening in my flash file and AS2 won't let me do it.

I am on a tight deadline and looking for the AS3 code of how to do what this company does on their site:URL...However, I don't know AS3.Literally my project requires I recreate the what is shown with the hand holding the sharpie and moving only back and forth restricted to a centered rectangular area at the bottom of the screen.I know how to import the image that follows the mouse to the stage, and to make it a movieclip. Let's say I have named the instance "Image_mc".Does anyone have the actionscript for how to do this? Do you attach it to the object or to a keyframe on a separate actions layer?

This was super easy using AS2. I had 2 'loader' movie clips placed on the stage and simply used the loadmovie to bring up the external swfs. How would i accomplish this using AS3? I simply need one movie to display on one side of the stage, and another on the other side of the stage. do i still use these 'loader' movie clips?

User interacts with Adobe flex webpage to configure reports based on some data stored server side. They configure their view and have THAT view emailed to them daily. I've got the report builder, the part I'm trying to figure out is how to render the report server side and send it out as email (native flex functionality? convert to html? take screenshot? assume something is running client side?...)
