I am trying to do something like this[code]...
Then how do I make it so all the children added are equal distance apart? I know I can set the X coordinates for each one,but I want it so that the objects can be added in any sequence and then be set to equal distance apart.
I am posting my code that attaches the movieclips on stage
[Code]...
i was hoping that when the newMc expands, all other mc would keep the same distance between each other as at initialisation. I not able to figure how to do it. maybe even an earlier post or llink where similar query was explained.
I am working on the project where everything is based on the distance from the center of the stage. First I made this fla where flash outputs the x and y distance from the center. First problem is that I want to output distance only in positive numbers.
View 1 RepliesIn AS3 I am trying to get the distance between 2 3D objects by using distance method.
if(Vector3D.distance(model.position,model2.position) < 100)
{
// do something
[Code]....
>>You can use it directly as a method of the Vector3D class to get the Euclidean distance between two three-dimensional points.
Which point does this method pick? Is it the closest point to the other object ?
I am just thinking of how much time this would take in testing objects with large poly count.

The dictionary use strict equals(===) for key comparison, how to change the comparison, so I can use my standard for comparison, for example, I have a class named Student:
class Student{
var id:int;
var name:String;[code]....
I want Dictionary use id to compare if the two keys are equal, not use strict equal(===) to compare if the key is the same.
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??
View 4 RepliesI have a Sprite called pageContent. Inside pageContent are 12 more Sprites with unique names, a couple of Buttons, and some TextFields. Inside each of the 12 Sprites I have either one or two TextFields and one TextInput. My question is, since they are children inside a child of pageContent, how can I access them? Here is how I am trying to do it:

In my mind, this should totally work. But surprise, surprise, it doesn't. I have debugged it and it works fine for the first two lines, but when it tries to get numChildren of a Child of pageContent (line 3), I get this error: PHP Code: 1119: Access of possibly undefined property numChildren through a reference with static type flash.display:DisplayObject.

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

Newbie to XML here and I have what I *hope* is an easy problem, but I just don't know the answer. And as I have to try and show this by Monday, I'm sort of stuck. I am trying to pull in information about houses via an xml file. Each house has 1 address, 1 owner, 1 description, and about 6 photos. I have no problem accessing the address, owner, etc, and I can always access the first photo, but whenever I cycle through the photos, I seem to cycle through the first photo for every house, not every photo for each house.
Basically, I need the children <images> to go up by one, without the the parent going up by 1. I am hoping I am describing this well. My code looks like this:

I have a Canvas which has many components inside it and those again, have many components inside them.
getChildren() returns only the top level children. What is the best way to retrieve all the children (children of children of children and so on).
Well, I sorta know how to do this by iterating through the children, but the code is really messy. I'd prefer to use a nice recursive function. Has anyone written this before? Or is there a Util class to do this?

for some reason STORAGE[0].getChildAt(0) works whereas liner.getChildAt(0).getChildAt(0) does not. STORAGE is a movieclip and a child of liner. the error is something about not being able to use getChildAt on a display object. what's wrong? is there any other approach i could use? PS: liner.getChildAt(0) works and does indeed seem to refer to STORAGE[0]

i've started to make like a quiz in flash with 218 questions in it! i've made it so the computer will show X amount of random questions.i've already got the code on the buttons so it will jump to a random question, but i'm having trouble with limiting the number of questions asked.
i've got an inputbox so the user can chose how many questions they do and the buttons add 1 each time thier pressed to a different variable.
i've got this code, but it never seems to stop asking questions
on (release) {
score = score+0;
page = page+1
if( (page == pagemax) )
GotoAndStop(220)
if( (page != pagemax) )
myVariable = random(219); //creates a random number between 0 and 5
if (myVariable < 2){ //checks to see if it's value is zero
myVariable = 2; //set it to 1 if it is zero
}
gotoAndStop(myVariable); //goes to and plays the frame.

View 4 RepliesWhat's the best way to sort an array while making sure that elements of equal value stay in the same position?
When I do something like this:
var i:uint;
var myArray:Array = new Array();
myArray.push({num:1, type:0});

The objects that have equal num values swap places everytime I do a sort. So how do I get the sort to not swap the positions of objects that have the same value?
If I want a a random number not to be equal to a number in an array so that the random number dose not repeat itself.Or if can't be done with an array how would you get a random number to randomly generate numbers but not repeating itself?
View 9 RepliesI have a movieclip called background_mc; this movieclip contains 20 different movieclips each loading content. This works so far. When the minus key is pressed the background movieclip scales to 25% [this works] while scaled down the movieClip can be dragged around[this works]. I should note that while the movieClip is at 25% if a nested movieclip is clicked(onRelease) it tweens to 100% at the correct cooridinate. The problem is that after the movieClip is scaled back to 100% it can still be dragged whereas I only want it be dragged when scaled down.

Is there a way to write an "ANY" conditional statement? For example, I want to write an IF statement that if the user presses ANY of 10 specified keys, I want to execute the same bit of code.However, the only ways I know to accomplish this is by

View 3 Replieshow to scale a SWF in the browser window, but not larger than the original stage size in the FLA file? For instance, I've designed a course in Flash with stage size of 1024x768 in Flash. In the published HTML document, I change the following values:
'width', '1024' changed to 'width', '100%'
'height', '768' changed to 'height', '100%'
'scale', 'noscale' changed to 'scale', '100%'
These changes in the HTML source code allow the SWF to size with the browser, but I don't want the SWF to grow larger than 1024x768 if the browser window is greater than these dimensions. I want the max size of the SWF to be 1024x768 regardless of the browser window.
how to achieve this in the HTML source code and/or AS2?
