I've worked with Flash for about a year now and I'm trying to make a game where you can control an object with the arrow keys and if you touch a certain object (lets say a wall) you go to a frame where it says "You lose".making the actionscript for the object and the wall colliding.
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to create a flash demo for my prof and we want green dots to move randomly across the screen without ever overlapping each other.I saw the kirupa tutorial on random motion which is really good. I'm wondering if I can add something to the code so that the dots won't overlap, (as soon as one touch another they move away) as they move.
View 2 Repliesneed a logia something like to paint some Objects: simply put some MCs. When the Mcs (are out of the Box range) and neat its easy to colour. see the Zip files attached:
Please see: paint_Non_Overlaping_MC_Works.fla paint_Non_Overlaping_MC_Works.swf When the Movie clips are overlapping or one placed above the other MC the objects are hard to paint. It Recognizes the Obeject as One, the Imported png converted to a MC. Please see: paint_Overlaping_MC_Not_Works.fla paint_Overlaping_MC_Not_Works.swf
Is there a possibility to make this work, like to make the MC Highlight on Mouse over and distinguish the objects when Overlapping? That's to say to colour the MCs when overlapping? What initially came to my mind is when mouse over the MC's to highlight so that we can drop the colour on it. In the ZIp file contains all the as2 codes.
Can someone tell me how to make 2 different objects/buttons do the same action?I am building a band flash site.I have a music player with basic controls/buttons: stop, play, pause and volume bar.I have a video section and few videos in it. (They are on youtube and I am using this lightbox script for flash to activate them so they play on top of the site / not going on youtube).I want to make that video thumbnail link automatically stop the music (or pause it) and also to open video: I've tried some stuff but I am not too good at coding.[code]
View 0 Repliesassume i have two Objects overlapping each other, one is text on top, and the other is a MovieClip
ActionScript Code:
myClip.x = myClip.y = 100
myText.x = myText.y = 100
[code]....
the addEventListener for the MovieClip only functions if i am on its "Visible" area, and doesnt work if the mouse is on the text so how can i make it function no matter how many objects are on top of it?
I have for a long time tried to get rods beeing placed side by side without overlapping after dragging. I don't succeed. This side shows that it can work: [URL]. I want my objects beeing placed side by side or over each other, not overlapping and no space between, just like in thos link.
Code:
var mcArray:Array = new Array();
var lastClicked:MovieClip;
function drag() {
this.startDrag();
lastClicked=this;
} function dragEnd() {
[Code] .....
how to prevent any two objects from overlapping each other each time they are randomly played?
i make them randomly appear using the code below but some of them appear on top of the other.
onClipEvent(load) {
_x=Math.floor(Math.random()*271)+120;
_y=Math.floor(Math.random()*265)+120;
}
I'm working right now on a map generator. I stumbled on a very annoying problem. I'm using the for loop to add the map elements on the stage. But when the "forest" area begins to be to thick all trees begin to overlap.

View 1 RepliesI have a movie clip on Scene1 called "movieclip1." Inside "movieclip1" there is a label of "fadein," which underneath the label has the movie clip fadeing in. Then I have a label called "fadeout," which has the movie clip fading out. What I want to do is get the coding or action script to make it so when I click on "portfolios_btn" (on scene1) it runs what is under my label "fadein" inside the movie clip "movieclip1."
Then, when I roll off the movie clip I want it to go and play whats under the "fadeout" label. This "movieclip1" is a drop down menu that fades in when I click on the portfolios_btn and fades out when I roll off the movieclip.

View 3 RepliesHow do I make an MC or other object listen always for an action to occur. I know that sounds vague and I don't mean it to be. I'm wanting to dynamically load MCs into another base MC. The deal is the amount of child MCs is not defined. I want each MC to be "listening" for an action to occur in a base MC and in other child MCs. I tried using localConnection, but it doesn't do the above.

View 1 RepliesI have a set of images of dogs and a doghouse.
1. Each dog has an email assigned to it for the person.
2. Clicking on a dog (or alternatively "dragging it"), puts it in the doghouse and moves the existing dog out to the now empty location.
3. Once moved in, ther should be a button presented to create an email to the person saying they have been placed in the doghouse (so..like..mailto??).
4. Maybe an image of the doghouse with them in it could attached to the email.
5. LATER: The state of the page could be kept so future visitors know that the person is in the Doghouse.
I have an old JavaScript page that kind of shows the functions:
FAMILY DOGHOUSE
Also, what I have done in FLASH (so far) is also shown at the bottom of the page.
1. Not sure how to make the action wait for the mouse click or drag!
2. Also, maybe a button, once the people decide who goes in the doghouse, to submit and fire the email??
When I chose this little project I thought it was easy, but I realize I have not a clue how to begin beyond making buttons and tweens.
I have a numeric stepper which allows the user to choose as many balls as they want, then they shud press the button and all of those balls should fall down. How can I do this???

im trying to make a game that requires you to have the spacebar and the right arrow key pressed to make the character move. However i just cant seem to link the 2 key presses together. when the keys are pressed individually it works and when theyre pressed together it works but i want the character to be inactive until both are down at the same time :/
i've tried everything that i can think of (which is kinda limited) i thought id cracked it with a 'while' statement but when i tested it flash would throw a fit and close heres the code that flash doesnt like, it looks (to me) like it should work but it clearly doesnt :P

I have a slideshow that is looped ... it contains 5 slides.I am using a gotoandPlay action to control the slide show.
on (release) {
this._parent.gotoAndPlay("98");
}
There is a fade transition between slides.When a button is released ... I want to gotoandPlay (frame 98) ... and then have it stop 10 frames later on (frame 108). Frame 98 includes the transition ... if I just gotoandStop on frame 108 ... I loose the transition.Is there any way to incorporate a stop action, after a gotoandPlay action on my button ... without naming instances etc.I.E.
on (release) {
this._parent.gotoAndPlay("98");
STOP ON FRAME 108 INTEGRATED HERE
}

I just want to make a simple button action using actionscript 2 but I can't get it to work! I'm sorry for even asking but I've been at this for too long now for it to not work I'm using Adobe Flash CS4 and I do the following --
File -> New Flash File (ActionScript 2.0)
Insert -> New Symbol
Name - test
Type - button
Export for ActionScript
Identifier - test
And then draw it in using the keyframes and add the code to 'Actions - Button' for my button
Code:
on(release) {
trace("trace");
}
I click on the button and it animates but no action event in the trace?
How can I get an action to follow another action when a button is clicked? When a button is clicked, I want the timeline to go to a certain frame and play and when it's done playing, to go to another frame and play. I basically want two actions in one function.
