Here is the code that I have just now:
Code:
package
{
import flash.display.*;
public class Particle
[code]....
This creates a constant stream of particles flowing from one point on the screen. I don't want the particles to constantly flow out from one point - I want to create a button that causes a set number of particles to explode out from it when it is clicked.
I have a particle generator class and I want to create a hitTestObject function on another object to check for any collisions with the particles produced.I bascially have a character already on the stage called character_mc and I want to be able to collect the particles, that means when the character touches a particle, the particle disappears.
View 1 RepliesIs it possible to make this a mask? The system contains one movieclip of a circle called ball, also a class called ball and a class called particle. I want the particle system movieclips to display an image...I'm sure this is possible...just have not been able to find a way. A little backround, I'm a completely selftaught n00b when it comes to AS3, but I'm grasping it fairly well... the tutorial is on this website, called A Simple Particle System Using Actionscript 3.
View 0 RepliesI just started playing around with as3 and I have a function for mouse clicks that draws a shape on each click. However the mouse click event does not appear to work unless I click a movieClip object I placed in the middle of the screen. Is there a way to make the mouse click event recognize when I click anywhere on the screen?

The main problem is that every type of sweeping on the screen also fires the taphandler().. how to identify the correct event? I tried to to my taphandler only if(!event.buttondown) but no success.

I am looking for a way to simulate a mouse hover/mouse click. What's happening is a bar is autoscrolling and checking to see if there is an active button 'below' it. Sort of like a bar rolling along a music staff and checking for notes.
What can I use to accomplish this?
If I "Right Mouse Click" on a Flash SWF file embedded in a page and click "Print" it prints just the flash, in perfect colour etc etc..How can I achieve this exact operation, but as a button in Flash? So it prints just as if I did the above operation.
As an extra, if you know how - Is there any way I can default the page to print out "Landscape" too ?
In my project I am creating. jpg file from flash. But I am not getting the 100% quality. The aim of the project is to design something and convert into jpg file which will be printed. But as I told that I am not getting the 100% quality so the printd pictures are not so good.

View 1 Replies2d Landscape Generation with Midpoint Displacementhey everyone... I'm working on implementing the simple 2d algo. described here:[URL]...html in actionscript. It's a simple midpoint displacement scheme, and it's almost working correctly. The problem i'm having is that the array i'm generating isn't sorting correctly. I need to sort it so that the drawing loop cycles through from left to right (on the x axis)... For some reason, it's not sorting points that are between [0] and [1] in my array. because the algo. is iterative, the problem snowballs the more iterations you run it for.
here's the code i'm working on. it's in 3 frames, and init frame to get it going, and then a loop in frames 2 and three (so that i can see the iterations as they're drawn out):

I'm making a picture gallery program and making it so that it takes images and resizes them to fit the proper thumbnail size, using onInit from the clip loader object and _xcale/_yscale. The problem is, the first time the thumbnail scrolls into the visible area, massive lag results; the app freezes for a solid half second until the thumbnail bar resumes scrolling. This does not happen with smaller pictures: apparently, Flash is being stupid and is reducing the size, but not the resolution, of the images. Is there a way to solve this problem other than
a) loading each thumbnail on the visible stage at first, then immediately repositioning into the bar (this would multiply load time substantially) or b) a server-side jpg resizer?
A bunch of us are trying to learn here at the office and we came up with a flash banner(very much duct taped on). We can not understand how to take the flash to display the number of buttons per the number of children in the xml... ie: 1, 2, 3, 4(slides or whatever). I've researched plenty on this forum but just can't get the flash to get past errors.
XML:

how to use flash, which is a daunting task. To make matters worse, my mouse will not click whenever a new window opens. For example, the dropdown windows that pop up when you click the corner of some of the tools. (like the tool to draw a rectangle or oval, etc.) Icons will highlight when I move my mouse over them, but clicking does nothing at all. I have the Adobe Post Production Suite, and it does this for all of the programs I have tried so far. For example, when recording in Soundbooth I can't click the record button or the stop button. Thus far I have been using the enter button and shortcut keys to get by, but this doesn't work all the time because some features don't have shortcuts. My laptop is a Dell Studio XPS. It's a little over a month old, and I've never had this kind of problem before. I tried running the programs while using a Wacom tablet to see if my mouse had gone bad, but nothing changed. I've searched the forums and haven't found anyone with similar problems. This really has me stumped. Another problem that I think is related: I can't change the colors of objects in flash. Whenever I open the color palette and put my mouse over a color, it shows up as gray. (All the colors show as the same shade of gray.) I've used lots of programs since I've had this computer, and never had anything like this happen. The only thing I can think of that might cause a problem is that my computer is a widescreen. This sometimes causes a problem with certain applications because the windows are too tall.
View 4 RepliesI have a movie clip, and I would like it to stop blocking mouse clicks from getting to deeper items on the stage.I haven't added any eventlisteners to the offending clip, but when it is overlapping other clips that do have listeners, it intercepts clicks and prevents them from getting to the overlapped clips.

Wondered if anybody knows how customizable Flash swf files are made, where there appears to be a template swf that the user can then input some changes (eg text or image) and receives a newly-compiled swf file with their changes.[URL]
Constraints:- user receives a single output swf file that can be played with all their changes included. ie there is no reading from an xml file, or using Flashvars.
As part of a nightly build i want to automate the generation of action script classes like Flex does but in an automated fashion. So I'm looking for an equivalent tool to flex builder 3's Import Web Service functionality, but accesable to a Hudson nightly build using ant.
View 1 RepliesI am looking for a solution to this issue but I have not yet found anything conclusive. I would love to get some input. What I need to do is basically to take two or more individual PDF-files and merge them into one. Nothing fancy just sticking one after the other and ending up with one file.
I have found AlivePDF and purePDF but those libs both seem to be focused towards generating PDF's from scratch.
I want to write some games in ActionScript but I do not have any illustration skill. I am looking for a library that can help me generate simple but beautiful, colorful shapes I will then animate.
Recently, I have stumbled upon such a library, written in C++ and newly ported to javascript, but I can't remember it anymore ! Something like Raphael.js in ActionScript would be cool, but I really want to hear about solutions in any language.
My client has asked to generate pop art images for the user uploaded images, Does any one of you has done some work related to this? is this sort of work is possible in flex, flash, as3, etc,
There is one software named pop art studio, which generates such images. we have Image magic software with us, does image magic generates these sort of pop art images? i don't have much idea about Image magic.
one solution for this would have been, if these images were our images, then we would haven taken them as the separate parts of one image, and applied color transform or any other thing on those parts, and would have generated these sort of poparts displayed in the picture , but client requires this option on user uploaded images, so all this is not possible in that case.
