ActionScript 3.0 :: Setting The Hit Test Of A .PNG File To Not A Square?
Apr 28, 2011
So I know it's a noob move to begin with, but I created all of my assets for a game that I am making in photoshop and sliced them out as transparent .PNG files. Now the game has a certain look to it and I don't have the time to redo all the assets. This clearly means that whenever I have an enemy for a hit test, the bounding box is always going to be a rectangle.Is there a way I can make it so just the HIT TEST for that object is the actual shape of the enemy, similar how you can just set the hit test of a button different to the actual look of the button itself
I have this game, and some levels have a moving square as the player, you move the square with your arrow keys.... I want to have an enemy square that chases the player square.... They only chased mario when you didn't look at them? Kinda like that...... but in this regards:
I only want the enemy square to chase the player square when the player square moves.... soo say the player square moves 5 pixels per movement (know how to do all that), I want the enemy square to move when the player square moves..... towards the player square at like 7 pixels per movement..... so eventually you won't be able to avoid the enemy square....
I have one picture imported into flash cs4 and would like to make a rectangle box which should be transparent. Finally I will save it as .swf file for later use. But the box should be transparent (without any background). How can I do that?
i have banner with 5 images fad in fade out effecti need to load images & test from external file " text file or xml file " with keeping fade effects on imagesall ways i know can't keep fading effect on images so
I've looked through the scripts in the scripts/ directory, but haven't seen anything obvious.
I would like to be able to specify the file name to capture the stream to. At present, the capture file is always named the same as the stream, which means if I stream for a bit, stop, then restart, the originally captured file gets overwritten. I'd like to be able to incorporate something, i.e. the stream start time, into the capture file name.
Im working on my website which was from a template. Ive gotten pretty far and all of a sudden my FLA file isnt exporting to a SWF file. It doesnt let me test the movie either, it shows the progress bar then does nothing. Similar to this guys problem on another forum:It shows the file in the folder for a split second then disappears. I really dont know what to do and I dont want to continue working on the file if theres a problem.
I have a website that has a SWF embbeded on it with SWFObject. This SWF file has 1,5 MB. I would like to test if website (Lightppd) will be alive if 600 users per hour will try to open it. It will be approx. 900 MB / hour of transfer.
So I have 2 questions in one:
1) Does ab (Apache Bench) test handle SWFObject and gets SWF file while testing too?
2) If 1) is false how to load test my website with SWF file embedded properly?
I am trying to write a simple program, just to practice, that will use touch events for an iPad. I don't have a developer account and so am testing the app on my computer. However, it does nothing. Clicking the mouse on the movie clip does nothing. I even copy and pasted someone else's code so that I was sure it wasn't because I got my syntax wrong. Nothing. Is there a way to test touch events on a computer, or do I have to compile the app and send it to an iPad everytime I want to test the app? Is there no AIR simulator that will simulate touch events using a mouse, as there is with XCode?
So I've been having an issue with a SWF not work on a page and this is what I can seem to come up with after hours of messing with Dreamweaver and Flash trying to understand why it won't work. When i test the movie from the working Flash file, it works no problem.Something is going wrong when I export or publish the movie and it no longer works. Is this something that happens? .this site needs to go up in the next day or so and the SWF was working and then stopped working and I'm honestly not a Flash gal so I really have no business messing with it, but it was a specific request.
I'm trying to test a custom Flex 4 skinnable component, using the FlexUnit UIImpersonator class. If I run my tests from a FlashBuilder Spark only project everything works fine. If I try to test from a project with the mx component set on the classpath I get a "getElementIndex not available in non Flex 4 projects" error.Can I unit test spark components in FlexUnits visual test environment while still having the mx component set on the classpath?
UIImpersonator delegates it's method calls to a "testEnvironment".The implementation used for this "testEnvironment" is decided by the VisualTest EnvironmentBuilder class and the FlexEnvironmentBuilder class. If the FlexEnvironmentBuilder class can find the "mx.core.Container" on the classpath it returns a MX environment, else a Spark environment. Only the spark environment has valid implementations for Flex 4 relevant method calls on the UIImpersonator - like the addElement method.
My buttons only work when I click on them on the stage while having the "enable simple buttons" option on. They do not work if I try to "test movie," "test scene" and publish it to a SWF. Nothing responds whenever I am in these modes. I am using Adobe Flash Professional CS5 Actionscript 2.0.
i have a movie that has worked fine in past during Html test but ive been doing some dubugging using the flash test latly and it runs fine here but when i go back and try to test in Html mode no errors come just the movie never fully starts (starts up about as much as if there was an error).
I am starting to develop an AIR application. After doing some code, I am able to test the AIR file from within Flash CS4. I then close the Movie Test and made some additional changes. I performed another Test Movie however nothing happens. If I restart Flash CS4, I am able to test the AIR file but not a second time.
Environment: OS: Windows 7 64 Flash CS4 4GB RAM
I have performed the following troubleshooting steps: 1. Reset the configuration folder -> same issue 2. Reset the Registry Key -> same issue 3. Tested on Windows XP 32 (Same machine [dual-boot]) -> works 4. Tested with a brand new FLA AIR file -> same issue 5. If I convert the AIR file to a standard AS3 document -> able to to test with no issue
I'm wondering if there is a method to do a hit test object between two movieclips from the same class. The movieclips are being spawned into the stage using a for loop.
Is it possible to if(item(event.currentTarget).hitTestObeject(item(thats not being selected at the moment?))) I'm doing a drag and drop game and am trying to not let the items stack above each other when dragged to the snapping slots on the stage. If not is there other methods avaliable?
Can I use FlexUnit to unit test a File Upload and delete? Are those actions good examples of unit testing? I'm a little new to unit testing and trying to figure out what parts of my UI are suitable for unit tests.
I want my Dynamic textfield to display test from an XML-file. It loads the XML, but for some reason my dynamic textfield shows the nodenames, as well as the node text. Here's a snippet of my code:
Code: var myXML:XML = new XML(); myXML.ignoreWhite=true; myXML.onLoad=teamSort;
I am doing a brief with requires FLV in the movie, I have successfully done this but when I test my movie from the server it does not link to the FLV file.I have checked the linkage and seems ok...is there any other reason for this not working?
I have two scenes in my flash file and in scene 1, first button takes you to frame 2 where movie clip is -works
on (release) { gotoAndStop("scene1",2); } second button takes you to frame 3
but on scene 2 that performs same function as scene 1, the first button
on(press){ gotoAndStop("scene2",2); }
instead of going to frame 2 goes to frame 3. and the second button goes correctly to frame 3.that happens when i test scene! when i test movie all buttons work properly.
I need to embed a SWF on a website. The swf is this interactive map at [URL](where it says select your region). So I found the SWF file and I tried to embed it on a test page, and its not working correctly. [URL] I don't know anything about flash, but the code I used was this:
Code: <embed src=" [URL] The map is showing up, but the continents regions are not click-able, and the drop down text is not showing the continents.
Is there any way to usefully test an Uploadify file upload with Selenium? I'm using Capybara with Rails, but really, any solution with Selenium would be a starting place. I'm worried I may have to disable Uploadify for Selenium testing.
I'd attached one preloader.zip file in that there is FLA and SWF file is there now when you run the source file after completing the preloader to 100% it load test.swf file, now you export the file to preloader.swf and when you will run the preloader.swf file it will run properly but when you put this preloader.swf file into html file and after that you open this html file what will happen that after loading 100% preloader it will not to load test.swf file from html file.
I used [url].... to create access for any domain (for test) and copied it directly into file server and also test if [url].... is accessible. I checked flashlog.txt and found that [url].... is loaded but will be ignored because of its syntax error - its generated by crossdomainmaker website and also correct with specifications and examples over internet, so what can I do?
In FlexUnit 1 it is possible to access the name of the currently-running test using the TestCase.getName() method because all tests subclass TestCase. In FlexUnit 4, however, there's no base class for tests; the tests are identified by annotations. So, how can I replicate the getName() functionality in FlexUnit 4?
The only thing I get is a swf file.I don't really know why Flash CS 5.5 refuses to generate my project's apk file since I've never encountered a problem like this before. Is it a bug or am I doing something wrong? My player is set to AIR for Android,I have my certificate,I don't get any errors, and debugging on my device via USB works flawlessly.
I would like to if someone to know why i have so big delay in my flash main file when I go to test the preloading bar with duble control enter... I have enable the status report file in flash wich say to me was I load a class (AS 3.0 Classes Export Frame) but i dont link any class in my file..
is it possible to set an audio file from the library or web as a ringtone on android??? Iv figured out how to make it download the file but its not as good as the application doing it for you!?
Doc Class formatting confuses me. This is the code from one of Grant Skinner's GTween tutorials. It works in an FLA but I am having trouble setting it up in a .as file.
