I trying to make a game like Chicken Get Home.There a different type of levels in the game by arranging the tiles. I made the levels in the art and exported the array value by using mappy. ** How can we use the array value in our code and how to import those levels in the code
** How to move the tile with mouse only to blank position(ie like snapping to next tile)..
make snap object on the mouse movement. As, I have made the code but getting issue on removing from snapping. I have attached the file. you can look in the [URL]
View 1 RepliesBasically I was instructed to put this code into my main timeline:
function completedPuzzleCheck(){ // add this to your main timeline
if(!numCompleted){
numCompleted=1;
} else {
numCompleted++;

It all works great but the issue (on a couple puzzles like this) is that a person could move one piece 8 times into the same correct position and the "Great Job" message will pop up although the puzzle is visually incomplete.
Anybody know how to drag a tile clip and snap to its adjacent clips in a game like this
View 1 RepliesI'm pretty new to flash but recently got an assignment at college to produce a childrens game, I've been following a tutorial online to produce a jigsaw puzzle, so I can get use to actionscript and gain a little experience. I cant get some alignment right. I've followed this tutorial exactly and this is where i am stuck, below are the instructions and how it should look:

I am trying to make a pacman game and was advised that collision detection for a game like this is much easier if you create it using a tile based methodology. I have the map created and the character moves fine around the grid. But once I added collision detection it seems to be a bit off and inconsistent. Im not entirely sure what the problem is with the collisions.

View 5 RepliesI have a tile based game à la Scrabble where tiles are placed on the board.. during the game the tiles must all be touching, and there should be no groups of tiles anywhere else on the board..I can find single loose tiles and check for surrounding tiles easily enough but how would I go about checking if every tile is touching on a horizontal or vertical axis and if there are loose groups of tiles on the board ??
View 3 RepliesI've been playing around with ActionScript 3. They have a new way of placing clips onto the stage, "addChild(clip)," which automatically places the clip onto the stage with it's own depth. So here's my problem, when making a tile based game, I have to constantly depth sort to make sure the object lower on the screen has the higher depth than an object higher on the screen. Pretty much, their depth depended on their y-coord. Does ActionScript 3 still let us play with depths?

I have recently designed a children's educational game that is completed, however; it is a puzzle and the puzzle pieces can be dropped on top of each other and they hide behind eachother which I do not want to happen. I would like the game pieces to automatically get pushed off to the side of the other puzzle pieces that are in use...not stacked on top of each other. The game is complete except for this one problem.
View 1 RepliesI'm building a basic tile game containing 3 layers of 'tiles' image the game has a dimension of 3x3 my data array's look like this:

How can i load this data from an external file which is easy to edit for the level-desiners ? (and what is best to use, xml, json,?) Is is not better to just use 1 datafile instead of 3 and what is the best way to do this?
I have a mc (fStrip) which looks like a piece of filmstrip with thumbnail images in it. I want this mc to move when the users mouse is positioned over it, but I only want it to move only along it's x-axis and in a direction opposite that of the mouse. And I want it to move or flow smoothly.
I've been trying to figure this out (see my lame attempt below) but without much luck.
onClipEvent (mouseMove) {
buffer=20 //movement buffer
mousePos=_root.fStrip._xmouse //store mouse position
if (mymouse!=_root.fStrip._xmouse){ //if the mouse has moved

I want to make a magic 8 ball in actionscript 3. I'd like to be able to click on the movie clip of the 8 ball, shake it with the mouse, and then have it snap back to its original position when I let go of the mouse button. I have three problems:
1) I can make the 8 ball track the mouse, that's easy, but how do I make it snap back to the original position when I let go of the mouse button?
2) I want to constrain the movement of the 8 ball movie clip so it won't go all over the stage, just enough to move it back and forth a bit.
3) How do I randomize output of answers in the 8 ball window...such as, "not now," "doesn't look good," or "yes" etc?
I'm making a game where you place tiles on a grid. When placing a tile, I need to check the existance of another tile to the left, right, or above and below, otherwise the tile should not be placed.. Here is a function I thought would work, that accepts one variable (the position of the tile just as it is about to be placed) :-
private function checkSurroundingTiles(gridPosition:uint) { var t1 = gridPosition - 12; var t2 = gridPosition - 1; var t3 = gridPosition + 1; var t4 = gridPosition + 12; for(i = 0; i < gridRefArray.length; i++) { var checkTile = gridRefArray[i]; if(checkTile == t1) { return true;

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'm relatively new to AS3. There's one thing that I don't quite understand about Sprites. I'm making a tile based game, and all the tile graphics for a level are inside one movie clip in each frame. Would I be able to go about creating multiple sprites based on the frames in said movieclip's timeline I would I have to go through and make a separate library graphic for each.
View 2 RepliesIm looking for a quick solution (if its out there) using the autohide feature using the FLV Playback Component.
Current situation: Using ActionScript 2. The FLV component fills the stage. Autohide is set to true.
It looks to me that since the video fills the stage, the skin will not hide. What I would like to do is have the skin fade out if the mouse doesnt move for a certain period of time.
I have a character in a game that moves in accordance with keyboard commands.. I'd like to have it so that when the character moves on the stage his legs simulate walking. Meaning.. when moving right, his legs rotate counter clockwise. But since there are two moving at the same time, one moves forward to a point while the other moves back to a point (the legs don't circle over his head), I need a conditional statement that indicates that when his leg's rotation is greater than 149, it reverses direction until its at a certain point, then moves back.. The below code is for one leg.
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, onLoop);
function onLoop(evt:Event): void{
if (Bear.Leg.rotation >=149){
Bear.Leg.rotation -=1;}
else {Bear.Leg.rotation +=1;}
I know why this doesn't work, it passes 149 and then moves back until it's below 149 and gets stuck in a loop. I need it so that the first statement gets overrided then flips back to it later. How can I do this?
I'm sorry if this is the wrong section. But I'm looking for help with my actionscript coding. I'm fairly new to Flash. I've only scripted some simple websites so far and this is the first time I try to make a flash game. I started yesterday but I'm already having problems with my script.
I have a scene with 2 layers: one with my character and one with the bounds (ground, ceiling and walls).
Inside my character movie clip, I have this: Which is basically a bunch of frames labeled and with the action to stop();. Each one containing another movie clip with the respective animations. So the idea was, when I press "A", jump to "walk left". And it kinda worked, but I have some problems and I'm not really sure how to solve them.

Im using Actionscript 3.0 and Adobe flash professional CS5 Im trying to animate a characters movement in a game im designing..Theres 8 differnt instances im going to use for the movement, I decided this upon studying NES zelda and finding his character only has 8 differnt instances for his general movement. See I want the graphics to be pixelated, just like the old games~ I like pixel games.
for example:Whenever I press the LEFT ARROW key I want two instances to switch back and forth between eachother to animate movement, and so I want it to keep doing that until movement is stopped~ as goes the same with the UP, DOWN, and RIGHT arrow keys.
I'm relatively new to creating games, however I've been a flash website developer (and designer) for over 7 years, and am used to OOP and AS2 Event-based programming. It was a bit tough to swallow the one-global function runs everything method but it all seems to be going fine now. The only problem I'm having right now is my math, and character movement and interaction.Also figuring out hitTests when the player punches, seeing as how you might have multiple hitTests be true, yet I want only those in the front row to receive damage.
Here's what I'm working on: http:[url].....
What I would like it to do, is for the enemies to swarm, but not walk "through" each other.Because the player only has his fists to defend himself (stipulation of the game unfortunately), they need to start far away, but then come up to the player's range and then mosy about in front of the player, jabbing him from time to time. The only thing, is that currently they look like paper dolls, because they move through each other, and the movement isn't very good either. This will allow the player to punch away their health until theirs none left, starting the new wave. my first big problem is the enemy movement and interaction with each other in a simulated 3d environment.The second would be how to get the player to deal damage to them, how can you tell that he punched the guy in the front row, etc.

Here is my pool game engine done in Box2dFlash.I would like to make this simulation more realistic as I received mixed opinion from pool experts.Here is my standard wall setting:
var leftWall = _sim.addBox({x:0.9, y:8.15, width: 0.6, height: 11.5, density: 0, fillAlpha: wallAlpha, lineAlpha: wallAlpha});
And of the ball:
_solidBall_7 = _sim.addCircle({x:ballPosX - (ballRadius * 5) - 0.8, y:ballPosY, radius:ballRadius, density: 0.1, linearDamping: 1, isBullet: true, restitution: 0.7, angularDamping: 5, skin: Solid_Bordo});
What other params I might try to improve the realistic movement of the pool game?
I am currently creating a game similar to cafe world, farmville etc (social game). Would like to know how could I make an object move in an isometric direction when my mouse move. For example, when I want to build a house, I click on the house build button, and when my mouse move, I want my house object (stored in the library) to be move together with my mouse in an isometric direction. To give you all a better impression of the solution i am looking for, click on this link for a sketch: [URL]. So I want something like only when my mouse move 20 units more than the original mouse position, then my house item should move to the next grid.
View 1 RepliesI am creating a flash game and I've hit a problem I have four objects, lets call them img1 through img4 I need them to move around a maze, witch is made up of blocks (maze.wall.block1 to block53) I have seen tutorials on creating a path however these all involve the object to be added to the stage, where as I am doing it in a as3 class. So my question is either: How can I create a path manualy on the stage, then create an object to follow the path in the as3 class, OR how can I add very simple ai to the img object to move around but change direction when the hitTestObject triggers on the maze.wall.blocks?
