ActionScript 3.0 :: MovieClip (Square) HitTestObject For Multiple Children
Jun 3, 2009
I 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? );
}

In this game attached I need the old Children (rats) to hurt the character when he walks into them, however only the most recently added Child is active in that way... also the rats seem to appear above the character instead of below, is there any way to resolve these issues??

popup1.mo.mo1.onRollOver = function() {

I have been making a game and have run into some problems I want to make a hitTestObject between multiple arrays, i have tried something like this:
for(var i:Number = 0; i < array1.length; i++)
{
array1[i].y -= 10; //Moves object up
for(var a:Number = 0; i < array2.length; a++)
[Code]....
When i run it, some object will detect the collision and will output "hit", but some will ignore that. I have also noticed that some object in the array1 stop running the move code (array1[i].y -= 10) after i have added another array.

I have a horizontally scrolling flying game involving a character and diferent types of food moving across the screen from right to left which the character has to collect ("hit"). I have the hitTestObject working for 2 different food movieclips with one item belonging to a healthyList, and the other to a junkList.
how to add more items (movieclips) to each of the lists, so that I have for example 6 items in the healthyList and 4 items in the junkList.
Below is the code in my Engine.as file. The red highlighted text is the code that creates the problem. I thought that I just needed to add this line in order to add another item to the "healthyList" of food types, but I obviously have it in the wrong place or have the wrong code completely.
package
{
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.display.Stage;

I'm trying to make a simple maze game. I have movement working, and now I'm trying to implement collision. Here's what I have:
An 8x8 grid, with walls of length 1 to break the grid up into a maze. the walls are instances of a movieclip I've named "mc_wall" a guitar-pick-shaped chip I'll control the movement of a cross-hair called "arms" that will check if there are walls immediately surrounding my chip by way of collision. "arms" is a movieclip made up of four individual movieclips: "uparm", "leftarm", "rightarm", and "downarm"
I have currently named each instance of "mc_wall" to be "wall" this is the code I have now (using only right as an example):
function moveRobot(event:KeyboardEvent):void
{
doslide = true;
if (event.keyCode == Keyboard.RIGHT)
[Code]....
this will work, causing the chip to remain in place if the rightarm detects "wall", and move if the rightarm does not detect "wall". My problem is that, although I have named every instance of "mc_wall" to be "wall", the only "wall" flash will recognize is the last one.
Is there a way to adjust this code to look at all 70-or-so instances of "mc_wall" instead of only the last one?

I 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 would like to detect a collision between a named MovieClip on the stage and an instance of a MovieClip from the Library which is created dynamically.
at the moment I'm putting all the dynamic instances in an Array and then I loop through all of them to see if I'm colliding with any of them, which I think is not great:
for each (var zz in corridors){
if((map_player.Ndist1.hitTestObject(zz) == true)&&(zz is brick)){
...
I'd like to remove the loop and do the hit test and do something like
if(map_player.Ndist1.hitTestObject(is brick) == true){
...
but of course that does not work

I have two movieclips that I would like to interact with eachother (in this case, lets just say its a ball that I throw, and the ground). The problem that I am having is that the ball has its own .as file that determines its gravity and x/y directions depending on mouse position (those values are called in the main actionscript)
Is seems like hitTestObject can not find the Ball movieclip because it is not added to the stage or display list until I click the mouse.

I 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;

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 have a bullet object and a boulder object (both movieclips originating from JPEGs) in my AS3 game. The trouble I'm having is with hitTestObject for the collision detection, as it's taking in to account the transparent areas and basing the collision on the bounding boxes surrounding the movieclips. This is a problem because the collisions are not accurate and if the bullet (long and thing line shaped) is at an angle...the bounding box is quite large around it...and it's "colliding" with the boulder even though it's visibly many pixels away. Is there a way to detect MovieClip collisions that ignore transparent areas?

I'm having a problem in my side-scrolling game where when each "prey" gets eaten by the character, they are counting multiple times, causing the "score +1" to happen too many times. It's almost like they are hitting the character a few times before being registered as "hit" and disappearing.

I did this once in AS2, but as I'm trying now to code in AS3, everything has to be re-learned. I have a very simple game where the user has to navigate through an intersection without getting hit by oncoming traffic. The traffic is a single movie clip that I want to use over and over. Using an interval, I can add the movie clip as a child of a container, but once it plays it's done. Previously, I used the variable "i" and added it to the end of the instance name. Something like this did work:
