Here's the code:
Code:
button1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, pressButton1);
function pressButton1(event:MouseEvent):void {
(xml stuff)

Since the xmlData is within a function, I assume I can't access xmlData from the button. How would I go about reading the xml with the button?
I have recently designed a children's educational game that is completed, however; it is a puzzle and the puzzle pieces can be dropped on top of each other and they hide behind eachother which I do not want to happen. I would like the game pieces to automatically get pushed off to the side of the other puzzle pieces that are in use...not stacked on top of each other. The game is complete except for this one problem.
View 1 Replieshow to cut a bitmap image in particular pieces specified by user. I want to create this in as3.
View 2 RepliesI'm trying to cut up a bitmap image into pieces, and then tween each piece away sequentially. Cutting up the pieces and placing those pieces in an array is where I'm at. But to tween each piece on a timer is where I'm stuck; here's the code:

import flash.display.*;

I'm having a big issue getting a string to split into two pieces, and I can't for the life of me work out why. This is a function that is run, with the midText var, being a number between 0-100, spat out from a loader. I've traced it, and it seems fine, but my splitter function just wont work! The function works fine if you simple define a var in the code

I am trying to create a puzzle made up of nine pieces each named piece1, piece2 etc. each is a movie clip with an imbedded button. I am trying to make the pieces scramble upon load and be dragable, but I want to have them return to their original x and y coordinates when the viewer presses a button.

View 4 RepliesI just went through the ActionScript tutorial for the jigsaw puzzle found here: [URL] I would like to change the image used for the background and the puzzle pieces, and am running into problems. I can change the background for the work area with no problem, but the puzzle pieces are still displaying the original artwork.
View 6 RepliesI've been looking for a tutorial that describes how to make it so dragable objects can snap together when one is dropped in the right place next to another, but so far I haven't had much luck. Does anyone happen to know of such a tutorial, or can post something here about how to do it?
For example, how do I make something like this: [URL].. and how do I make it recognise when all the pieces are attached together?
I am making a jigsaw puzzle in flash. But I have a weird bug. There are 25 pieces, 5x5. I am passing in the background bitmapData to the pieces as they are created.
For each piece I create a single puzzle-shaped mask bitmap.
So each piece contains a bitmap whose bitmapdata is the puzzle texture. And each piece has a mask piece.
When I just show the masks, all 25 pieces are drawn to the stage.
But when I use the piece masks to mask out the texture, I seem to have a hard limit to 22 pieces in which the mask is applied. This happens if I am using 25 peices or even 80 or 100. Each time, only the last 22 pieces created will display the texture. [code]...
I've been working on this game for a little while and I got stock here. Any way to detect if a movie clip is surrounded by other movie clips as it shows in the above picture. [URL]
View 5 RepliesI'm looking into building a navigation system that revolves around the shape of a circle and each link is a slice of that circle. I could build it graphically and/or in the timeline, but the thing is that I'll have the links pulled from an XML file so it can be 3 or 6, or 9... Example: how to dynamically create a circle and slice it up depending on the number of arguments on an XML file? No need to add the XML part and all that.

It's possible in plain HTML to wrap pieces of text in spans or tags that can make it easy to style them later. For example, if I wrap "part can be styled" in a span wit class stylable, I could define my own style later for it. This <span class="stylable">part can be styled</span> later if needed I'm new to actionscript, and I'm wondering if something similar exists for actionscript/flex?
View 1 RepliesI have a movieclip with 10 bitmaps in it. I wanna access each of them.
myMovieClip is the movieclip containing those 10 bitmaps. I wanna access those bitmaps one by one. All 10 bitmaps are imported separately. I tried this :
for ( var i =0 ; i< myMovieClip.numChildren ; i++)
{
trace ( myMovieClip.getChildAt(i) );
}
Problem is numChildren comes "1" only, as if it doesnot consider those 10 pieces of bitmap.

Let me first say that the project I am working with was my first foray into AS3 as well as OOP. I wanted to be a grown up so I wanted to use classes and not rely on individual swfs.Unfortunately, I didnt quite understand the spirit of OOP, or at least I dont think I did, and I made each section of the site into a separate class. I then integrated the classes and their library materials into one large project. The thing works great - but unfortunately the file has gotten too big.What is the most straightforward way to now break this project back up? Do I need to load in external swfs
View 0 RepliesI have an input textfield where the user can enter a long string of numbers, seperated by spaces. Example of this is "2 4 10 20". I made the textbox and made sure it only numbers and spaces can be entered. However, I am looking all over google for a way to split these numbers and save them in a different var when a space is encountered. I don't really know how to even start doing this.
saving in vars does not have to happen in runtime, but only when a button is pressed.
is there also a way to prevent the user from entering a space right after another space?
I recently posted requesting some code to generate random food pieces onto the stage etc .. I got told to make the pieces of food to fall down and for more than one piece of food to fall down I'd need an onEnterFrame function and setInterval, thing is that I've been trying that for AGES and I can't seem to figure it out.

I'm making a simple drag and drop game, but the strangest thing is happening on IE with FP10: the sub-assets of the draggables shift their positions when the parent is dragged quickly.The mouseChildren of the draggables is set to false, and the cacheAsBitmap is set to true. And it functions beautifully on Safari and Chrome. This is client work, so I can't really post a link here without their permission.

I am unable to produce the kind of synchronization effects I would like to in ActionScript. The issue is that I need to make several external calls to get various pieces of outside information in response to a user request, and the way items will be laid out on the page is dependent on what each of these external calls returns. So, I don't care that all of these calls return asynchronously. However, is there any way to force some amount of synchronization on ActionScript, so that at least calling the method for doing the final layout and placement of items on the page is dependent on all of my calls finishing?
