ActionScript 3.0 :: HitTesting Against Multiple Movieclips Within An Array
Feb 4, 2012
im having a really frustrating problem. I have 6 movieclips on the stage, all acting as 'map areas', these are named area1_mc, area2_mc and so on.. I then have a car which i drive around the screen, this instance name is car_mc ... All i want to do is do a HitTest to determine if the car is on one of the 6 areas.. i have the following
[Code]...
The reason it is not working i think is it is expecting the car to be on ALL map areas in order for it to be "on map". For example if the car is in the middle of area1_mc, i get three traces. On map (refferign to it being on area1_mc) then two traces of 'off map', because it obviously isnt on area2_mc or area3_mc.

I have a tile-based platformer game under work, and I'm stuck on a problem with hitTesting:
//check all character collisions with levelHolder
for(var i:int = 0; i < levelHolder.numChildren; i++)
{
[Code].....
The problem here is that hitBlock only hitTests one block at a time, and when I test this: If you lean on a wall (press right arrow key) and go downwards you can go through the floor.
I need to make it so that I can test on multiple blocks at a time.
And I did try to replace hitBlock with levelHolder[i], but it gave an error saying:
ReferenceError: Error #1069: Property 0 not found on flash.display.Sprite and there is no default value. at Main/enterFrame()
I'm guessing that comes from the level array where 0 = blank block / empty space.

I have a movieclip named Map linked to a class named Map. Inside of the movieclip I have 3 instances of a movieClip hitbox. they are named block0, block1, block2. What I'm trying to do is add them to an array using a for loop. Then in my player class I use another for loop to hitTest against the array. What I'm getting tho is this error:
Code:
TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert []@2393159 to flash.display.DisplayObject.

I am trying to make a basic game, and have read all about bitmaps, but they have only confused me, so I am trying to succeed with a more flawed, but basic approach. I couldn't find any comprehensible tutorials on this, so I've tried it on my own, but it doesn't work.Basically I have my character in a movie clip connected to a class, and it is spawned when the movie starts, just like the "wall" class here. It populates the stage with a line of boxes, but my problem is that the hittesting only works on the first one.[code]

I'm currently working on a project that has eight separate movieclips (for loading content) on separate layers. I have placed code in these mc's to randomly draw from the same array of 61 different swf's. Each mc randomizes the array just fine, but here's the problem. The code works great for one instance, but as soon as I add the code (including renaming) to the other mc's, the swf won't load/play. I am not getting an compiler errors, and am kinda stuck as to what the problem may be. Here's an example of the code I'm using. It is the same for each mc, except I'm renaming the variables as well as the instances for each mc.

I have the following simple code that functions just fine. What I would like is to be able to use the first three linesybutton1.visible=false;mybutton2.visible=false;mybutton3.visible=false;) and group them into an array or something so I can have that run within the functions showImage1,showImage2 and showImage3 without having to write it out each time like I've done belowHaven't really used arrays, so not sure how to do it.
Code: Select allmybutton1.visible=false;
mybutton2.visible=false;
mybutton3.visible=false;

I am trying to build a image-gallery-type picslider class. I have a playlist.xml whose architecture should be clear from the URLLoader stuff in my code. What I aim to do is to load 3 initial images into MoviClips and place the three in an array.Then, I'll manipulate the array to allow the user to flip left or right between images, while loading others offscreen.What I am hiving trouble with is loading multiple images into MCs using the Loader object inside a loop. When I run the code below, only the last image loaded appears inside a MC on the stage.Do I need to dynamically create loaders for each iteration?
Code:

I am creating a card game application in that dynamic movieclips created on stage and inside those movieclips different cards can drop, which have some values.
If one movieclip contains one card and another movieclip contained two cards and all the other movieclips 3rd,4th,5th.. etc contains some cards then, if i want to go back and want to drop another card at the top of the old one, than how i can do this, because when i go back and drop a new card inside movieclip than it replaces the old one. i don't want to create a new array for each movieclip.

I have a group of 16 images that I would like to load 1 of each into each movieclip. I want image1 to be inside of visual1, image 2 inside of visual2, and so on. the images are named like, 1960s_(1).png where the 1960 (year) part is coming from the rangeNum variable. The above gives me this error: 1061: Call to a possibly undefined method addChild through a reference with static type int.

I have 50 images that need to be on stage, which will be embedded into 50 different movie clips. I named the movie clips image1-image50 and the images are in an external folder named 1-50. Every freaking article or tutorial I have found clearly explains how to upload one image, or just one at a time. I can do that, and spend 2 days renaming all the functions, but I do not want to do that. Is there a better way to just load all 50 images, place them accordingly?

I received help on this site on this info-graphic im doing and the solution was to use an "array" which im not familiar with at all. the person that helped me added the following code that worked:
var city_arr:Array = new Array("louisville");//filll that array with all nedded cities//make all the boxes invisible at startfor (i=0;i<city_arr.length;i++){ var [code]...
since i dont know how to use arrays im stuck. i need to add at least 30 more cities to my info-graphic but don't know how to use the naming conventions of an array.Only one of the houses works (when you click on it a pop-up appears, is draggable and has an x to close the pop-up)

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.

I have a question regarding hittest object in actionscript 3. When using events, you can check what the current target is by using e.target or e.currenttarget. I was wondering how this achievable by hittesting?since hittests are not a function.
I need to retrieve info about the hittested object.Here is an example to make it more clear:
ActionScript Code:
if(movieclip1.hitTestObject(movieclip2)){
textfield.text = "this is information selected by the hittest: " + channel[e.target.name].item;
}
I'm working on a project and using hittest to navigate. So it's pretty important haha.

I created a .PNG in Photoshop (see attachment) -- now when I make this into a movieclip the bounding box covers the entire area so the hittest activates as soon as my helicopter flies into the bounding box.I looked at adobe's "help" they recommended this code (by the way, I'm using Flash 8):
my_mc.hitTest(x, y, shapeFlag )
my_mc.hitTest(target)
The way I interpreted the code was like this:
onClipEvent(enterFrame){
heli.hitTest(248.1, -38, shapeFlag)
}
I read somewhere that you only use one of the two, and the shapeFlag one is the one to use.The above code I placed into the helicopter MC (named heli) - I set the x & y to where the PNG is.The PNG moves towards the helicopter, so I'm not sure if that makes a difference.I just want that if the helicopter runs into the ceiling or floor, the level resets.However my current actions activate as soon as it hits the bounding box.This is my code in the PNG:
onClipEvent(enterFrame){
this._x -= _root.levelSpeed;
}[code]....
I've tried a lot of things, and nothing seems to be working.

I've got a game where I need the enemys to hitTest with each other, I'm going to have copys of 3 types of enemys on the stage, instead of giving them all an instance name is it possible to hittest from the libary because I've given them instance names in the library of "enemya" "enemyb" "enemyc"
The code I have got didn't work which was -
Code:
onClipEvent(enterFrame){
if(this.hitTest(_root.enemyc)){
trace("true")

At first I had all my sprites in an array and cycled through them to detect for collisions but now I am trying to put them in 1 big sprite and testing just that. I don't know if I am doing something wrong or this is to be expected but testing for 1 big sprite creates lag within the engine. Am I correct to assume that it's because I am constantly testing the pixels of the 1 sprite? When cycling through the sprites individually i never noticed this lag.

I thought maybe I had to use localToGlobal, but they are on the same layer, so it can't be that. It works on the root frame, just not in the movieclip.

I'm making a game where your character must touch rings (big ovals) that are moving up and down with a motion tween (with easing). I attach these movies and push them into an array. For the hittesting, nothing is accurate. Since a movieclip inside the ring movieclip is moving up and down, the boundary box is much bigger than it should be when hittesting. If I use the x/y method, it triggers the hittest when my character is in line with the reference point. It should trigger when the middle of the character hits around the middle of the ring.

What I'm trying to do is hittest two irregularly shaped objects using their alphas and not the bounding box.
The code below hittests two objects named target 1 & target 2. This is not my code, but mine looks exactly alike, except target 1 & target 2 are replaced with my MC's. the thing is, I keep getting an error.At every function line, like the "public static function complexHitTestObject I get an error that says: Expecting right paren before left-bracket. I don't know what this error is caused by, because I can't really see why Flash wants another right paren.

I have 4 ball movie clips, a playhead and four target movieclips called mc_1-4, the array, (my_array), has 4 elements, which are each defined as having values of 0: I have a hitTest set up that will trace my_array to the output window each time it hits mc_1, to see what is happening. However the hitTest prints the array 3 times?
Am i right in thinking that this is because the hitTest is being triggered on entry of mc_1 in the center and upon exit?I need to make this hitTest be triggered once when the hitTest passes the center of mc_1. Secondly if any of the balls have been dragged and dropped on to mc_1 i want the array value with an index of 0, to change to 100 from 0 (not in terms of its index position because my array is only 4 elements long, in terms of its actual value) which i have tried to implement but i cannot configure the right code.
1. hit tests that only trigger once when they pass through the center of the object thus tracing one array.
2.use the balls 1-4 to make the array index 0, have a value of 100 if they are in contact with mc_1.
