ActionScript 3.0 :: HitTestPoint With Nested Object
Jun 28, 2010
Recently I was trying to use hitTestPoint with a nested movieclip against another non-nested one. Then if the nested movieclip was found to collide with the the registration point of the other movieclip (shapeFlag was set to true of course), the nested movieclip would move down by 1 pixel until it wasn't colliding.[code]What happens is that the while statement doesn't kick in until the registration point of obj3 is over obj2, but it doesn't break until obj3 is not over the bounding box of obj. Alternatively, if I change obj1.obj2.y to obj3.y it does stop at the correct spot.Actually I guess the problem isn't obj2 being nested in obj1, the problem still occurs when it's taken out of obj1.

I'm trying to create a boundary for a player object, controlled with arrow keys, in my game using the main stage's height and width. For example, one test point is at the top edge of the player object's bounding box so that when the player object's head touches the stage's top edge, the player can't move anymore to the north. The player object is manually instantiated to the center of the stage by using the Flash stage editor so it will start at the center before the program starts.The problem is that right at the start of the program, I can no longer move the player object up or down with the arrow keys but I can still move it left or right. The intention is to allow the player to move north until the player object's head touches the top edge of the main stage.[code]

I am instantiating the 'Target' object five times on the stage. This is happening, but only one object is able to have hitTestPoint performed on it. Can anyone help as to why this is happening?[code]

I'm having a problem changing the direction of a movieclip using hitTestPoint. I have some balls on the screen that only move left, right, up and down. and pending the way they are moving they have to change direction. if they're moving right they have to change to up. left to down, up to right and down to left. I tried the following code for getting a ball moving moving right to change to up. note: movingDir is just a string i use to keep track of how the ball is moving and is defined initially in another class. here is a snippet from the ball class:

I have six objects which are on the stage when my game loads up. I have stored them in an array in my Document class. Occassionaly I run through this array and check if something has hit these objects and remove them if so. i don't actually remove them from the array though. I'm finding though that even after these objects have been removed from the stage, the hittestpoint still returns true when something crosses the area where these objects once where?! Doesn't the object have to be there for hitTestPoint to return true?

Which one is more efficient? Or is there even a noticeable difference? I did tests of a circle moving closer to a square and stopping when hitTestPoint returns true. The square was at 0 and the circle was at 500. My first test I did using hitTestPoint the entire time, my second test I did by checking the distance (Pythagorean Theorem way) and if it's below 50 then check with hitTestPoint.
I compared the FPS of each test but they were the same at 30 FPS with 200 circles and at 11-12 FPS with 500 circles. I thought the first test would be slower because I was testing every pixel the entire time while the second test I was only calculating the distance for the most part before testing every pixel.

I have a picture of a mine which is nested within an object, nested within another object. Now what I want it that on the keypress of shift, I created mine image at the same position of the tank. The issue is that the main object that is nesting the mine moves, thus not creating at the the center, rather on that position of the object.
Here are how my images go by instance names;
1. Tank Stays in the center
//////
/////
1. Land (moves) -- 2b. map -- 3b. All objects that hitTest
|
2a. Objects
|
3b. All the objects that don't get hit (in here is mine.)

I have an object
obj = { a: 1, b: { c: 1, g: x, h: { j: {k: z} } } };
if I have an array of dynamic length ["a", "b", [...], "g" ]
How can I now update a.b.c.g ? example:
function set($target, $new_value, $array){
//magic
}
set(obj, y, ['b', 'g']);

I am trying to replace an Object inside my nested array (colArray) by using splice, the object acts as my player and will need to maneuver around the Array it's in. The Problem is splice doesn't appear to be showing anything in return, it comes up with an error saying: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.What am i doing wrong ? And how would i go with moving my playerObject around the array?
var gridContainerMC:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
var gridSize:Array = [col,row]; //Rows, Columns
var gridArray:Array = new Array();
var col:Number = 44;

I'm trying to make a simple platform shooter game, although I just cant seem to get jumping right. hitTestObject works fine, but hitTestPoint doesn't seem to work at all.[code]on that last bit, if I use hitTestObject instead, it works fine, but when i use hitTestPoint, I just fall through the ground as if nothing is there.and I want to use hitTestPoint so I can make floating blocks

I'm probably missing something about which parameters I'm supposed to be passing.Here is the code:In the first class (the hitting object belongs to this class):[code]It always traces "Didn't work" when I drag the instance of the first class over the instance of the second class.

im trying to create a menu that drops down when you roll over it. however I cant get hittestPoint to work.I have a movieClip on my stage with a class attached. Inside this movieClip is another movieClip with an instance name of "hitBox"
ActionScript Code:
package {
import flash.display.*;
import flash.events.*;[code].....
Is it possibly to do with the mouseX and mouseY being local?

Anyone know why "hitTestPoint(character.x, character,y, true)" would be hit testing off the origin point in the center of the character, and not the whole shape??This is my code from my document class. There's a custom splat class in there, but don't worry about that. This code is inside 2(1 nested) for loops.[code]

I have been using hitTestPoint so far with mouse_move listener, which means if the mouse was stationary over target area when that listener was added the desired action wont happen until mouse moves.
Basically I have this window in the middle of the stage where loader loads pictures and when picture loads if the mouse moves over that window some other stuff appears.The listener is added after each picture is added and if the mouse was stationary above the loader when that happened it doesnt trigger hitTestPoint (until mouse moves).
I have seen somewhere this same effect, but it worked even if the mouse was stationary above the image when image appeared.

I have the beginning of a game that looks a bit like Asteroids. The first version of the game worked, but was very code-heavy (every object was individually coded) so I decided to move the bulk of the code to document classes.
I wanted to have certain objects interact with eachother (bullets with asteroids, asteroids with ship, etc.) but they can't find eachother. Also, as you may notice in like a second from now, the whole code is handled by a single document. I guess I should do something about that as well?
Code:
package
{
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.text.TextField;

is the way to test for the mouse being over a DisplayObject. This works if my movie is displayed at 100% scale. But if maximise my browser window so the Flash movie changes scale, it all goes to pieces.

Testing this function and running it 11k times on a shape where I use:
shape.opaqueBackground = true; shape.cacheAsBitmap = true;
Is extremely slow.. It seems to take 4 to 5 seconds to check a 101 x 101 tectangular area.I'm wondering how it is implemented...I know the code for the SDK is available?I can 'getPixel' from a bitmap to get the very exact color of that pixel in 1/1000 that time.If I happen to have the bitmap data.But with a shape that is already 'treated as a bitmap' (see above) using hitTestPoint can stop your system. It should not be vastly inferior to work with Shapes than it is with bmp data..

This code serves the purpose of raising the character upon going up a hill. However, since the game will be on a large space (larger than the document size 1000x750) I am moving the ground (mc_Blockers) instead. This code is supposed to push the mc_Blockers down then it intercepts with the characters y. But instead, it just throws the character really high. When I examined it closely, it seemed to me that it threw the character up till the bounding box of the mc_Blockers (the whole stage is drawn, I'm not using blocks for floor, etc.).

I have 3 frames each with a movie clip called map_mc. Each different map_mc have different objects that call the CollisionDetect class. Heres whats happening. objects from frame 1 will start freaking out when I goto frame 2. How do I remove only the event listeners from objects only on frame 1?
I have been trying this.currentFrame but the problem is that all the objects are inside map_mc on the first frame so no matter what it will always be 1. On the other hand MovieClip(root).currentFrame will always give me the current frame but wont tell me what the objects frame is relative to the stage.What I want to do is have something to this effect:MovieClip(root).this.currentFrame would output that this object is on frame 1 and MovieClip(root).currentFrame will tell me that the stage is on frame 2 so I can remove the listeners accordingly.
