View 4 RepliesInside movieClip container, there are colored buttons on layer1 and on layer2 there is movieClip square which covers the buttons. I want to use the color efffects and blending options of movieClip square to make layer 1 alpha. There are some blending options called alpha, difference, lighten and substract but Im not getting the right combinations. I want to make layer1 alpha only by using layer2.

View 1 RepliesI'm trying to make a basic flash calculator except it only has to be able to square the number provided by the user, I have followed many tutorials but I keep getting the NaN as the output. Here is the actionscript:

View 14 RepliesI have this game, and some levels have a moving square as the player, you move the square with your arrow keys.... I want to have an enemy square that chases the player square.... They only chased mario when you didn't look at them? Kinda like that...... but in this regards:
I only want the enemy square to chase the player square when the player square moves.... soo say the player square moves 5 pixels per movement (know how to do all that), I want the enemy square to move when the player square moves..... towards the player square at like 7 pixels per movement..... so eventually you won't be able to avoid the enemy square....
I'm trying to do that trick where you make a variable name with square brackets. I think I don't fully understand what I'm doing though...
Code:
var cursorDirection1:Point = pt.subtract(rootpos1);
var cursorDirection2:Point = pt.subtract(rootpos2);
var farShoulder:int = 1;//1 = left 2 = right
[Code]....
I'm trying to avoid having to do a conditional to choose between cursorDirection1 or cursorDirection2. My last line there isn't working, I'm not entirely sure why. Assuming farShoulder is 1, the code should be interpreted as
Code:
cursorDirection1.normalize(findNormVar(cursorDirection1));
but I'm getting errors about the input being undefined.
I am messing around to learn more about actionscript and I am trying to have a square movieclip resize itself so both sides are equal to 50 here is my code on the movieclip it does the resize and all but it keeps on going. I am not sure how to stop it.

I've perused the random color tuts, yet I'm still deadlocked somewhat on this issue.
I'm trying to make a square change colors randomly.
For example, I want the square to change from red, white, and blue, but randomly.
I know about Mcs and instance names and all that. I just need to know how to write the code. I know it starts with:
OnClipEvent (load)
and after the variable,
onClipEvent (enterFrame)
SetProperty...
I'm trying to make a maze that's not made of square blocks,The little guy in the left-hand side moves when the user presses an arrow button, but when he can't walk through the lines (walls)I'm guessing that I can't use the usual "hitTest" command, so is there any way i can achieve this without finding every point where the lines cross and do a specific hitTest (hitTest (x,y,true) )?
View 3 RepliesI have a movieclip that I am using greensocks transformManager with so the user can rotate, skew, and scale the clip. This works fine, but I am trying to add a crop tool. If the image is rotated, when I send the image to the crop tool it measures the height of the image by the bounds of the rotated image, not the actual height of the image if it were square (re: not rotated).
So, what I tried to do what, after sending it to the crop tool, rotate it back to 0 before getting the bounds using this code:
[Code]....
I don't understand the math here. Shouldn't it just rotate 3rads in the positive direction to equal it out? How would I return it to 0;
How would it be possible if draw a square, then put movieclip to move in it. It would move when rotate another movieclip..

View 0 RepliesI'm stuck with trying to target a movieclip dynamically from a loop. I'm using the square brackket syntax but I can't figure out why it's not working. Here's what I'm trying to do:
Code:
this.t1.t1._alpha=20;
And here's how I'm trying to do it:
Code:
this["t"+1+".t"+1]._alpha= 20;
hey guys, so, im going through colin moock's book, "the definitive guide", and im learning about global variables. so in his lesson he says to do this:
1. create a movieclip called square, with a square inside of it.
2. in the square mc's timeline, on frame 1, place this code :
_global.day = "tuesday";
3. go back to the main timeline and on frame one put this code:
trace(day); no according to moock, when i run the movie, it should output "tuesday", but all i keep getting is "undefined".i'm running mx 2004, so im wondering if that has anything to do with it.
I'm trying to get some general info and be pointed in the right direction to make kinda like a photo gallery where they can be dragged, and moved around like several squire images that can overlap one another, and if you click an image that is under another image, it will come upfront..
View 1 RepliesI have a circle_mc on the stage. Then I create randomly placed 20 squares (square_mc) on the stage. I can move my circle on that stage, and all I want is to check hitTestObject(or any *yet unknow for me* method that gives a result) if circle touches any of squares. Then I need to remove that touched movieClip (square) from the stage. hitTestObject checks if 2 specific objects are touched. My question is how to know which square is which, and then if it touches with circle_mc to remove it from the stage.
Code:
Select allif (circle_mc.hitTestObject( ?whatHere? ) ) {
?whatHere?.removeChild( ?whatHere? );
}
I have a square movieclip named squarepad. What I want is when I click on it to do [some stuff] according to where the square is clicked. It should be something like this:
if ([mouseclickedx] > 1) and ([mmouseclickedx] < 10) then
[do this]
end if
How can I make the color from a mc, a square with a flat fill, fade from one color to another (by using actionscript only) ?
View 4 RepliesI want to make a square grid of fixed side length but varying grid number using code.That is, the number of grids should be specified by the user (say 3*3) and after pressing a button, the stage should be broken into 3*3 grids.I don't want any code, just a method on how to do it. I have tried it by using simple loops but the method just fails for no reason I can figure.
View 5 RepliesI recently purchased a new Acer notebook computer for my business travel in late March 2011. The machine is running Windows 7 64bit OS and had IE8 64bit installed. I installed IE9 upon receipt of an update notice from Microsoft and downloaded Adobe Flash Player 'Square'. I am unable to view any internet video on news websites (ie: CNN, Fox, MSNBC, etc). The screen is completely blank, but does contain the audio. I do receive video for any 'You Tube' file I have attempted. I have removed and reinstalled both IE9 and Flash 'Square' multiple times after attempting various 'fix' I have found on line, but the problem persists and I cannot view video content. This is forcing me to use 'Chrome' when using this machine.

Is there a simple way of pressing a button on a flash calculator to calculate the square root (sqrt)? I cant find anything about it. for example

display = "Infinity";
