ActionScript 3.0 :: Spawning Objects To Stage And Move Certain Distance

May 18, 2011

Here is my code:
function createEnemy(event:TimerEvent):void {
var enemyAppear = new MovieClip;
enemyAppear = new Enemy();
enemyAppear.x = Math.random()*stage.stageWidth;
enemyAppear.y = 285;
[Code] .....

What I am trying to do is spawn a enemy to stage and when it appears on the stage I would like it to move across the stage a certain distance.
Visual Example:
O = enemy, X = original position, Y = new position
O (Spawns @ Location X) X ---------------------------------------------------------> Y
( Moved from location X to Location Y)

Move A Distance Of 2178px Upwards On Stage?

Jun 8, 2009

I have a large image (w: 1071px, h: 2222px) which I need to move a distance of 2178px upwards on my stage and the quality of the tween is terrible.
 
I've ticked the box in the image properties to allow smoothing and I've also reduced the image quality to 50% but it still lags. I've tried chopping the image up into seperate pieces so that when some of the image has gone beyond the stage area and is no longer visible that part of the image is removed and flash no longer has to move it. I've used timeline and actionscript tweens. I've tried exporting a quicktime movie to see if the results would be any better but they were pretty much the same. I am pulling my hair out here!!

ActionScript 3.0 :: Get The Distance Between 2 3D Objects By Using Distance Method

Apr 28, 2011

In 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.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Objects Re-spawning When Coming Back To Frame?

Nov 20, 2010

what happens is I have a key, a door and a health bar and an enemy. the enemy takes off some of my health...I pick up the key and it disapears and is added to my inventory. I then us it to open door then my character can move off the screen to the next frame where there is a castle., but my health bar is full again. when I go back into the previous frame the key is back, the door is closed and I cant pass through it again until I pick up the key.

the only way I have found around this is to make sure the objects are in every frame but that only solves a few problems. one of the problems is my health bar always re-plenishes no matter what when going from frame to frame. and I still cant pass thru the door even though its open.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Move A MC A Specified Distance?

Nov 22, 2011

I am working on a project where I have 5 equal sized panels inside of a MC that I am using the following code on the loading of MC:

onClipEvent (load) {
targetx = 650.0;
delay = 8;
}

[Code]...

What I would like to do is ALSO move the panels with left and right arrows that act independently of navigation buttons. So that if you were on panel 2 you could advance to panel 3 or back to 1. Can I assign AS to the arrows to move the MC a specified distance left or right?

Actionscript 3.0 :: Distance Between 2 Objects : Math. Functions?

Feb 18, 2010

often seen in simple flash games. So you can look at an example. http:[url]....Green object shots a bullet and what i want to acheive is to run bullet toward black bar even if bullet is shot to the left side of the screen. Bullet should make a circle, slow down and change direction to the bar and finally proceed faster and faster to the bar. Simply it should behave like remote control rocket chasing enemy. Right now i am with this: Code: Select all

function movingBull(e:Event):void [code].........

//of course i dont know what should be inside if statement

ActionScript 2.0 :: [FMX] Game - Hittest With Movie Clips In The Centre Of The Stage And Distance

i am working on a game called "virus". you click somewhere on the screen and the virus goes to where you click. you have to dodge random moving white blood cells, and if you hit them you lose. everything is working. except for one thing. scoring.

i have made a movieclip with a dynamic textbox in (score), and in the movie clip there is a section where the number in the score textbox goes up really quickly, a section where is goes up medium, and a section where it goes up slowly. i want to make it so that when you get closer to the center of the movie, for the score to go up quicly, and slower as you get further out. i have tried hittest with movie clips in the centre of the stage, but it doesnt seem to work.

I'm hoping to figure out how to tell flash to respawn a new instance of the 15-frame movieclip of the triangle, when the original clip hits frame 5. the next one would do the same, and so on and so forth.My research so far has led me to believe this has something to do with the 'addChild' function but i'm so far unsure of what to do with it

ActionScript 2.0 :: Spawning Flash Player To Run SWF?

I am writing an application at the moment, and am wondering whether it is possible to be able to click on an swf link, but that it spawns up a flash player window to run the swf, and not try running it in internet explorer.

I know I can create a projector, but with most peoples firewalls, this wont allow the exe file to grab the xml files that I am using from my website.

So how can I make Flash player run my app outside of internet explorer, without having to download it first?
