ActionScript 3.0 :: Screen Scrolling As Character Moves To Edge
Sep 16, 2009
I am trying to make my screen scroll as my character moves to the edge of it, but when I get to the edge of the screen nothing happens, I think this could be something to do with my registration points but I'm not sure. I have added trace statements for debugging but no luck. I have included my Fla so you can see what I mean.
Here: [URL]
Here is the code I am using to try and make this happen
PHP Code:
// scroll the LBground if character gets past half way up or down the stage
function scrollLevel():void {
// Horizontal scrolling
var horizontalCentre:Number = stage.stageWidth / 2;
var horizontalPosition:Number = LBground.x + Mchar;
[Code] .....

I'm trying to do a simple game which you have to move a frog character in an X axis , and you have to "caught" the falling insects (as much as you can). The game lasts until you fail 5 ,and then it's game over with a display that says how much insects you caught. However, i'm doing this as a mid-term exam for a course in college.. but really, because of some problems, most of the us,the students.. learnt almost nothing, or hardly the necessary for being able to understand the code, but not to script by ourselves
The game works propertly, except when the frog reaches the edges of the stage, which is 800x600 px , and goes beyond it This is the code: (I'll skip the 2 other AS frames which make the game start and end and post the one with the in-game code)

I have a problem with functions.I want to make a function that moves the character and let him do a different thing like kicking or going down and jumping. Here is the code i have:

i want the up key to be pressed once, the down key to be hold on to and when released it goes back, and the right and left to be hold on to and when released goes back to 1.

I am trying to create a dragable menu.
However I do not want the user to be able to drag the menus out of the movies edge.
how can I get the dragable movie to know when it is at the edge of the screen and to let go.
I have tried but dont know how to go about it.
more specific, can you put a if() or hittest() statement in a on (press) statement
so the movie knows when to let go ?
I tried both ways but I may have stuffed the script

I've built my first flash application and it's very close to being finished. I have a problem with two buttons that are on the are on the left and right of the stage. When the browser is enlarged these buttons don't remain on the edge of the browser. Not sure if I explained that very well so here is a link to the application [URL] if you make you browser wider you will see my problem.

Using Adobe Flash CS3 on a sometimes dual monitor setup. After attaching back to my docking station, and starting up Flash CS3, the window is off the edge of the right hand monitor somewhere, and I am not sure where. The mouse cursor makes it look like the window is somewhere off the lower right hand corner of the screen somewhere, but even after holding in the left and up arrows for a long time, there is no motion, and the window never appears. I can maximize the program back to my primary monitor, but this is hardly an ideal solution.
I have found the following registry entry, but am unsure if it applies to what I'm having problems with or what the format of the entry is: HKEY_CURRENT_USERAdobeFlash 9SettingsWindow

currently i am removing objects when they reach the edge of the screen with
[Code].....
i understand this does not delete the object? without removing event listeners before removing the object the error log fills up, i believe its due to the stage isnt there after its removed. this makes me think that removechild does not delete the object? i will be creating and deleting many objects during runtime, and i dont want to slow down or use too much memory, how to properly free up the object

I took the kirupa end of days scroller tutorial and modified it to create a scrollbar for text and movieclips. It worked fine if everything was in the root, but I had to drop it in its own movieclip and re-target everything. Since doing so, the mc that should be scrolling no longer moves when I slide the dragger.

I need to do this project for school and I'm missing this one thing. I'm working in actionscript3 and have a panoramic picture of a room, that I'd like to move/slide(left and right) whenever the mouse cursor hovers near the edge of the screen. I'd also like to loop that image, so that you could slide it for eternity :) I tried to find a script for that but apparently the language barrier is too much for me.

I'm making a side-scrolling game, with a (theoretically) infinite background. I have a block engine that places the blocks on the bitmap canvas. Now here's the catch. I'm using the bitmapData.scroll() function. Now unless I clear the screen each time the character moves, it's going to leave ghost images of the border of the screen, like this picture: zanzlanz. tumblr. com/post/18857712784 If I clear the screen each time, then it generates a lot of lag (because it has to repaint the objects again). I'm a bit lost on how I can scroll without leaving streaks of the side of the screen and without repainting the entire screen.

I have a large movieclip that contains all the elements of my game - the level backgrounds, the player character, the non-player characters etc. The stage is only a quarter of its width and when the player character moves off the edge of the stage the whole game movieclip moves a quarter width to the left or right, depending on which side the player character has left the stage from.
Each of the quarters of this large game movieclip are considered levels of the game (so there are four levels, obviously) and what I want to know is how do i get an object that exists in one level to appear in exactly the same position on screen in the next level, when the player moves to that level?

I'm currently working on a project using FLVPlayback Components. I'm having this issue: The user launches the page, the Component loads fine. They play the video and click the "FullScreen" button. The video launches nicely in fullscreen by using this code
[Code]....
When the user hits esc. or exits fullscreen, they come back to the movie and see that it has shrunk and moved over a few pixels. It doesnt move the entire SWF, just the component. I assume it has something to do with the "else" line. Let me know if you can be of some assistance. Linked please find my FLA and a link to the page where the issue occurs.

I wrote a class for an object that as soon as it is created moves around the screen and can create another object (replicating itself). That seems to work fine for a while, but after like 20 or so objects on the screen things slow down a lot! I create the first object on frame one. The rest is all done by the objects themselves.
Would it be better if the objects did not move around on their own, but rather through a loop on frame one or does it not matter? I am working on a simulation that should go up to over 100 objects, but with this problem can't get there. The object is just a movie clip (imported png picture about 4 by 7 pixel, not animated). I was going to replace it with an animated one later, but that seems unlikely now.

I've just learned the basics of programmatic animation in Actionscript 3.0 but I can't seem to think of the right solution for this problem.Here is what I'm trying to do: A ball moves at a certain speed from the left of the screen to the right end. If there's a box in the way, it keeps bumping into it until the box breaks and it continues moving forward.The box will have a set weight that will control how much it slides when it is bumped by the ball. The ball will be pushed back a bit when it bumps the box.I have a very specific idea and all I need is a little help starting. How would you tackle this problem?

So I have a small game where I have implemented a* path finding. I have a spot where a player moves around the screen along the path found. I have a section where i know the user is at the end of the path and I am looking to dispatch an event at this moment so I can do things at the end of the path.
i have imported the aStar_path_dispatcher file into the move class then i do,
[code]...
then in my main document class i import the aStar_path_dispatcher again, and set up an instance of it: then add a listener:
[code]...
however this "move finished" doesn't seem to want to work. I have never used custom events before

I've searched for almost a whole week to get this thing converted,I found a great tutorial for a scrollbar that was exactly what I was looking for. I wanted something that didn't have up or down buttons, had a thin line for the track, and a circular dragger. However, it was written in AS2. I've tried to convert it myself, but I'm a complete beginner, and I know nothing about AS3 code, or AS2 for that matter. So, I've managed to get the scroller icon to move, but it moves all over the screen & doesn't stay put
var scrollUpper:Number = 31.5;
var scrollLower:Number = 381.5;
var textLower:Number = 40;

I'm tweaking the video code found here [URL] His progress bar starts at the edge of the stage. My progress bar starts at x=40 into the stage. My problem is that even though all my mcs related to the progress bar are positioned properly the scrubber mc hops to the edge of the screen when the video starts. It also acts as if the progress bar you scrub though is at the edge of the screen too. I can't figure out why it's doing this. There's nothing in the code to tell it to do as such.

i want a character to stay in center of screen and where ever we click on the page the character goes there , i mean that click position comes to centre with ease and we can also navigate map like age of empires, or DOTA but in that case character stick at its own position to map.
Im not flash developer so i dont know how to do this but i can do designing. I am attaching a fla with this pls do this experiment with that fla file so that i can understand it easy. Being a non programmer it is tough to understand these things for me. those brown sections in this map would be colusion areas , where we cannot move character and blue is river. so we cannot move character to river too.

I'm having a lil problem. This problem is i'm trying to get a trurret to rotate to a character on screen...
K, now i know all you smarties are going well thats easy.... and thats cos it is.. i have done that using
Code:
public function facePoint(point:Point){
var charPoint:Point = new Point(this.x, this.y)
var charpos:Number = FindAngle(point, charPoint) * 180 / Math.PI
this.rotation = charpos
}
see easy now... i want it so it has (in need of a better description) a max rotation speed. so in stead of the rotation always being the same it has to rotate to keep up with the character..
