ActionScript 3.0 :: Making Movieclip X And Y Follow That Of Another
Jan 5, 2011
I'm making a game and have zombies spawning on a stage using math.random()
What I want to achieve is their health bars follow them above their heads, However they aren't spawning when I use:
ActionScript Code:
public function iceZombieSpawn(e:TimerEvent) {
iceZombie = new IceZombie(Math.random()*stage.stageWidth, -100); // Create new ice zombie at random x position (width, height, health, hitCount)
[Code].....
They do work when I specify a specific coordinate however won't get the desired result.

i'm generating a horizontally scrolling image gallery and i want audio cues to fade in & out as well as pan with the images.so as the image enters frame left and moves towards center frame, volume increases, pan moves from 100% left to center.as image passes and leaves frame left, volume decreases, pan moves from center to 100% right.i have not worked with sound in flash in this way before & extensive searching hasn't returned any results!

I have a line that is 800 pixels long. The line is a gradual curve, that gets kinda steep at the end. I want this ball to go along the line. How do I make the ball move to the right, and stay on top of the line. All I have now is...
PHP Code:
onClipEvent(enterFrame){
this._x +=35;
}
Now I need to add something to make it follow the line. The instance name of the line is.... "line" without the quotes of course.

I am trying to make the stage follow the player in AS3 (basically, so the 'view' follows the player and he remains in the center of the screen throughout).Here is what I tried:
Code:
this.x = player.x-stage.width/2;
this.y = player.y+stage.height/2;

Say I am moving an object around on the stage, walking from point A to B across the stage. I want to make the object the center, so the stage is centered on the object, so when I walk from point A to B the stage moves with me.

I've been working on a game for my AS3 class that involves enemies randomly spawning from all direction and following the player in an attempt to collide with him. I can get the enemies to spawn from one direction as well as move in a single direction but I can't get the spawning from all sides or the following the player around to work.
I've been at this for a couple of weeks now and followed several suggestions and tutorials (including one from here) with no success and this thing is due by tonight . Here's the code from my enemy class. All of the code of the game is done through AS files with no coding done within movie clips or on the timeline.
package
{
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.display.Stage;
import flash.events.Event;

I know how to make something follow the cursor (e.g. a ball that moves where your cursor does). However, I'm having a lot of trouble figuring out how to do what I need to for an animation, namely make eyes follow a cursor.Here's the situation: I need to make a graphic (the eye in the middle of the eyeball) follow the cursor (i.e. look up, look left, look in any number of diagonal directions) depending on where the user moves the cursor. But the eyes, obviously, need to stay put in one static spot and move in a very limited region (the entire white part of the eye, but not beyond it).
Furthermore, the eyes start out staring at the user. How do I additionally make them dart to the edges where they'll be looking around once the cursor is moved?

I'm an actionscript beginner and trying to write a class to make the 'enemies' follow the 'player' (shown below). I'm trying to write it such that it takes two MovieClips as arguments, and moves the first one toward the second one. When I import the Class try to use it in Main.as by typing " var followPlayer:FollowPlayer = new FollowPlayer(fishMov0, player);", I get the following error:
"ArgumentError: Error #1063: Argument count mismatch on jab.enemy::FollowPlayer/followPlayer(). Expected 2, got 1."

I have 10 movieclips on stage called mc1 mc2 etc ect and then I have one button which makes one of the mc's alpha = 0;The only thing is I would love the evenlistener add the number created by the array to be put after mc & "array number".So what the button should do is create one of the mc's visible whilst all others are not, and this should happen randomly without an mc showing up twice.

I'm working on a game where you have a car that will drive along a side-scrolling terrain, and it needs to folllow the hills up and down and rotate accordingly. Because the front wheel and back wheel will need to be at different heights as the car moves, I'm wondering what the best way to make it rotate correctly is?
The height detection works, and the car will follow the hills but that's just using one point on the car movie clip to test with - it needs to use the front and back of the car.

Is there anyway to make a movieclip follow the mouse. I have a menu, as a movieclip and when i roll over the menu i want something to pop up where the mouse is that says 'click & drag to scroll' my main menu is called: container_mc the movieclip i want to appear i have exported it for actionscript and is called mouseovermenu.This is the AS3 i have so far:
Code:
container_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, onRollOverHandler);
container_mc.buttonMode = true;
container_mc.useHandCursor = true;
[code]....
At the moment the pop up appears when i roll over but it dosnt follow the mouse. Also, i am getting more than one instance of the rollover movieclip appearing.

Imagine we have a MovieClip called "box". When I click somewhere on the screen, I want the box MC to move to that position. So I wrote something like this (just for horizontal movement):
PHP Code:
onMouseDown=function(){moveTo(_xmouse);};
function moveTo(newx){box.onEnterFrame=function(){if(box._x<newx){box._x+=5;
}else if(box._x>newx){box._x-=5;}else{delete box.onEnterFrame;}};}
Now this works to a degree, except that when the box MC moves to the right position, it then proceeds to vibrate on the spot. I thought it was probably because it can never move to the exact position of _xmouse because I'm adding 10 to the x property which is why the condition is never met. However even if I just add 1 instead of 10, I still have the same problem..

I have this code is AS3
Code:
var xMouse = mouseX;
var yMouse = mouseY;
[Code]...
But unfortunately, the ship does not follow mouse rotation. The ship only rotates with respect to the mouse when you move the ship, not when you move the mouse.

I'm fairly new to using ActionScript to move MovieClips around. I'd like to have a movieclip follow my mouse around the screen (like a mouse cursor). I put one instance of the MC on my stage, with an instance name of 'a', without quotes. (identifier is 'box', class is 'boxClass', without quotes.)

This doesn't work, which should be apparent since I'm posting this. (lol) How can I tell my movieClip to follow the user's mouse?

I'm using the following code to have an MC follow the users mouse based on it's x value. But I'd like to have this inverted...so that if the users mouse goes right, the MC goes left....instead of going right along with the mouse.
Code:
import mx.utils.Delegate;
class Mover {
private var target:MovieClip;
private var limits:MovieClip;
private var ease:Number;

As the topic indicates, i'm trying to create a curved path and make a movieclip follow that path up and down with a bit of rotation.
This could easily be done animating the timeline, however I need this to be done through pure AS - as when I mouseOver the MC, the MC need to stop and go to the top. [url]...

I'm not sure what to call this particular way of making the movieclip follow the mouse.When the mouse moves up, the movieclip plays through the frame. If the mouse moves down, the movieclip plays in reverse? I think that's how it works.

How would you force a mouse follow movieclip to snap to a x y position if it reaches x y boundaries or perhaps if a button is released the movie clip snaps to a x y position? Of course if the mouse returns to x y boundaries I'd like for the movie clip to follow again.
Right now this is the code I'm using to make the movieclip follow the mouse within x y boundaries:
Code:
onClipEvent (load) {
_x = 0;
_y = 0;

I am probably just making a stupid mistake but can someone show me how to do the following... I have a moive clip on _root and another movieclip within several other movieclips. I want the moiveclilp that is in several other movieclips to be able to stop the movieclip on _root on a release trigger. I basically just want to know the proper AS for using one movieclip as a button that stops or plays another movieclip.

I'm looking to force the cursor to slow down/stop moving when it gets close to a MovieClip. Idealy you would be able to rollover the MovieClip when moving the cursor slowly but if the cursor is moving at some speed, it would be forced to stop at the edge of the MovieClip.
