I am working on a puzzle has four different eyes, nose, and mouth. These can be placed on a blank head. I want to be able to place all of the same parts of the face, and have a response that says "Beauty" if the mix up the pieces from different faces, it will say "Beast." I don't know how to set up the AS3 to make this work.
View 1 RepliesI am using the following to move one item to a certain place once the first item has reached there:
[AS]
if (mc_skip._y - 1 < 20 && mc_skip._y + 1 > 20) {
mc_skip._y = 20;
mc_skip_b._y = 20;
//the movieclip is within 1 point of where you want it
} this.onEnterFrame = function(){
trace("Button:" + mc_skip_b._y);
trace("Text:" + mc_skip._y);
}
[/AS]
Why does the mc_skip_b not move to 20 _y? I am tracing it, and it's definitely going to 20 _y so I don't get it?
I'm thinking about distributing bytes of a SWF into multiple files, how can i put a set of bytes in different parts into one byte array?

Also would reading partial bytes into a byte array work?
I need to simulate a pause command for multiple parts of a game I'm programming. How do I start the timer, then stop it after 10 seconds in as few lines of code as possible without using multiple functions?
View 3 RepliesI am trying to make some buttons that play different parts of multiple movie clips- and also link to a url. I also want to be able to click on a movie clip and make it play starting from a certain point (this is what I have been working on) I have this code
stop();
_root.frogdance.stop();
froggy.onRelease = function() {
_root.frogdance.play(4);
}
it is on an actions layer of my main timline- I am not sure if I put it in the wrong place or what- but it doesn't do ANYTHING when I click on it when testing the movie. I gave the frogdance movie clip the instance name 'froggy' in the properties panel. The rest of what I am working with will be buttons that do things- but I also want this movie clip thing to work...
So I am creating a drag and drop game but the thing is that there is not one question for each statement. Is it possible to have say... 10 statments on the right and one "box" on the left where the statements can be dragged to, if its correct it stays there, if its incorrect it goes back to its original position.
View 12 RepliesI need to put a load of MC's on stage with the use of an array as such:
Code:
for (var i = 1; i = 4; i++) {
if (reg[i] == "singlewall") {
var Wall:MovieClip = new wallClass() as MovieClip;
mainClip.addChild(Wall);
}
}
I need a lot more then 4 though and I need a way to make new "Wall" variables
Tried doing it with:
Code:
for (var i = 1; i = 4; i++) {
if (reg[i] == "singlewall") {
var Wall:MovieClip = new wallClass() as MovieClip;
Wall.name = "mc"+i;
mainClip.addChild(Wall);
}
}
This does not work though, yields an infinite loop somehow
I'm building a quick products display app for my company (basically customers put in certain numeric values and the app recommends a product based on the numbers.) I've done this with if statments and addChild()s
Now if they've gotten one result and they want to try with different values I need to removeChild() the product images from the stage.
So far I have this working by adding the addChild()s to an Array and using a for loop to remove them everytime the calculate button is hit. This works fine until I get to product double ups (some products can work across multiple values) then it errors.
Below is part of the code I've shorthanded some of the parts which are working fine as well as the repeat parts so that it's not just a whole blob of code
Code:
stop();
import flash.display.MovieClip;
equal_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, equClick);

I've been developing an AS3 based 2D fighting game engine (like Street Fighter II), and have run into an issue. I'm using if/else statements in my onEnterFrame function to hit test my fighters. This works great in my first if/else statement, but for some reason it doesn't recognize my second if/else statement that follows the first. I know it's not the code, because if I bring the second if/else statement up and place it above the first statement (simply swapping the order), the hit test is successful. Why is it that only the if/else statement that comes first works, but any that come after it don't?
Here's my code:
function onEnterFrame(event:Event):void {
//MOVE THE char1
PlayerBase.players[0].x += plyr1vx;
PlayerBase.players[1].x += plyr2vx;
[Code] .....
I've also attached a .zip file with my published files so you can see the issue in the game (must be viewed in a browser for keys to work correctly). Move the left player using "A" and "D" keys. Make him punch with "Z" and kick with "X". Punch is the first if statement in my code, and kick is the second if statement (not working).
I am trying to load text from an external XML file into a dynamic text box. I have so far managed to load single parts of the XML file into a dynamic text field. I now want to be able to load different parts of the XML file (something similar to a string with appendText) into the same text Field. I have so far managed to achive this using the String and append text properties, but would like to use XML file to do it instead.
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to do a binary search in a for loop. However, flash does not like the following for loop.
for(var select:int = Math.floor((min + max / 2)), var turns:int = 0;
turns < input.length / 2 + 1;
turns++, select= Math.floor((min + max / 2))){
if(input[select] > want){ max = select;
} else if (input[select] < want){
min = select;
} else {
return select;
}}
On the first line I get 1084: Syntax error: expecting identifier before var. I think I know why (I'm using , to separate the different statements), but how do I fix it? ; won't work since it's what the for loop uses.
( var select:int = Math.floor((min + max / 2)) ;
var turns:int = 0);
turns < input.length / 2 + 1; //etc
does not work either.

I have a series of images loaded in via XML and assigned to "loady" movieclips. This code works fine:
Code:
_root.myMCL.loadClip(_root.myImages[0].attributes.url,_root.loady0);
_root.myMCL.loadClip(_root.myImages[1].attributes.url,_root.loady1);
_root.myMCL.loadClip(_root.myImages[2].attributes.url,_root.loady2);
_root.myMCL.loadClip(_root.myImages[3].attributes.url,_root.loady3);

I want to replace this with a loop since I know the total amount of items (myImagesNo), but this isn't working:
Code:
for (i=0; i<_root.myImagesNo; i++) {
_root.myMCL.loadClip(_root.myImages[i].attributes.url,this["_root.loady" + i]);
}

Below is code that is manual input - I had set up a dynamic txt field in flash named it : raffle_tix_remain When loaded on to the host I can manulally update the xml code and the change will take effect. raffle_tix_remain.text = root.loaderInfo.parameters.raffle_tix_remain;
My question: Since the raffle_tix_remain is a manual input from a user to xml Is there a way to tell flash once it refreshes and "raffle_ tix_ remain" goes to (0)zero gotoAndPlay(2); and let it play like a "sold out" sign i guess that would be a if else statement.

there must be a code to do that without hundreds of lines of code.
I'm trying to make a chat room that basically has a static background but it also allows for multiple PM's to take place in their own individual "windows" that can be dragged around the screen...

View 1 RepliesI have the project where I need to use papervision3d engine. It's 3d model of building. Each floor is separate .dae model embedded within swf file. Everything is okay regarding performance, but z-sorting of BasicRenderEngine is making me sad. If you take a look over attached image you will see that sometimes wall faces appear above cover and backwise, cover faces appear above wall. Each floor model was made with Swift3d by path extrussion. It has two types of material: one for wall and another for cover. Is there any way I can go through all faces and regading material applied to it assign them ViewportLayer and sort index ?
I tried to use QuadrantRenderEngine, it does correct z-sorting, but is CPU killer.
is it possible to rotate an object so that it always faces another object that is able to move around the screen? as in track it on the y and x axis?

how they would go about this animation?
I am making a simple Flash animation that I would like to put online and let people visiting my site upload a picture of their face so they can be the character, like on Elf Yourself. How do I do that? I'm assuming I make the animation with a square image of a face that I mask out, and the image gets replaced when a new one is uploaded, but I don't know how to set that up dynamically, or if there's a better way.
