ActionScript 3.0 :: Testing Collision Between Multiple Object Of The Same Class
Feb 28, 2009
so I have a function on the Main Timeline that creates an instance of the class Ball once every 60 frames (1 second). In the class code for Ball I have this:
Code:
package {
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.events.*;
[Code].....
As you can see, I am trying to make it so that if two instances of the class Ball collide, then it should output "STOP". But it isn't working.

I'm trying to create a sort of tree diagram such that, if you click on one of the circles, its child circles spread outward with some degree of randomness from the original circle, connected by lines. I have this working, but now what I want to do is make sure that none of the circles collide with each other and none of the lines criss cross. You can see the screenshot for what is currently happening. My code is below. How do I change this code so that it checks for collisions and avoids them? I've read up on flash's hitTestObject command, but that only works in the context one object to another. I want to test for one object contacting any display object.
import com.greensock.TweenMax;
var sw = stage.stageWidth;
var sh = stage.stageHeight;

I read the tutorial about Multiple Object Collision Detection. What I want to do is have there be 3 circles and 3 squares. the circles are moving randomly while the squares are stationary. The actionscript would need to be checking to see whenever the moving circles collide with the stationary squares. However, it doesn't seem to be working. I followed the logic of the tutorial pretty closely, by making a separate list for the instance names. Here is the code for the collision detection.

I am creating a game where I have two separate arrays of objects that I need hitTested with each other. I found an old tutorial in AS2 that I modified to come up with this code:
ActionScript Code:
for (var w:Number = 0;w < enemyLaserArray.length;w++) {
for (var R:Number = 0;R < barricade1Array.length-1;R++) {
if (enemyLaserArray[w].hitTestObject(barricade1Array[R])) {
[code]....
This code executes like I believe it should, but along with removing the two objects, and splicing them from their arrays, I get this error
Code:
TypeError: Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties.on the line hitTestObject line. I have had similar problems in other areas of my project, but this time no matter what I try using trace statements I cannot fathom quite what the problem is.

I got a hitTestObject() problem. I wonder if anyone know if there is a way of testing collission between two movieClip where the transparent part of the movieClip is not to be tested for collission. For example two balls colliding and not wanting the collission to be detected before the balls itself collide (as in the second picture) and not when the squares collide(as in the first).

I'm trying to test clipping on two canvases. Both canvases are 100px wide. They're 20px apart. I've placed a label inside one and made it 200px wide. Scroll bars will show up on the canvas. When I don't have the label inside and use hitTestObject it returns false. When I place the label inside it returns true. Is there any way to alter the canvas with the label inside so that it doesn't expand to the width of the label?

I have the livedocs wide open and I still can't figure out how to send off multiple variables in an object (from a class) to the FLA file...[URL] The setup: I have a class that extends EventDispatcher. I created an Object called _pass, public var _pass:Object;. In my last function (everything is cool up until now), I have four variables that need to be passed to the main fla. Let's say they're param1, param2, param3, param4.
It was explained to me that I could use the public var _pass:Object; by first creating an instance of the object like so, _pass = { param1, param2, param3, param4 }; (each param is available in the function). Having setup an object instance, I could then dispatch the object to read from within my fla: dispatchEvent(new Event(Event.COMPLETE));.
But I get these errors:
1084: Syntax error: expecting colon before comma.
1083: Syntax error: rightbrace is unexpected.
As the livedocs show, you can use an associative array (with braces and a colon), but I don't need that. I just need to pass my variables that are pre-made to the FLA.

I am trying to create collision detection between mcs without having to write the code 10 times.
I thought this would work but it gives me this error:
TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert "crisisAnimation" to flash.display.MovieClip.

Code:
var target_mc:Array = new Array();

I've been playing around with custom classes. My objective was to create a custom class (Testing) that would create a box when an instance of the class is created. I've tried three different approaches, however only (3) seems to be showing up. I'm just curious why (1) or (2) doesn't work?
Also is there a better approach than (3)? Since at the moment it's been created on _root. I hope the box can only be accessible through the instance. Since I'd like to incorporate the whole idea of public, private, encapsulation, etc.

I'm having trouble testing for an object's visibility on the stage without using an event listener. I know this is pretty basic, but I can't seem to find anything online and none of my flash friends are around eitherowing code, what is it that I need to do to activate the function? I thought you could write a function without having an event listener.
function test (e:Event) {
if (square_mc.visible==true) {
trace("square is visible");

I'm making a game that's similar to Pong. Basically instead of a long, skinny paddle, the paddle is wider -- but this creates some problems when hit testing.
I don't want the ball to be able to hit the side of the paddle, only the front of it (the side facing the other paddle, technically the side part). I'm basically wondering how I can run a hit test in AS3 but for only one side of the object. The object is a basic movieclip.

Here's the low down of what I have
- a hero in the middle of the screen who follows the mouse
- he can shoot bullets, so there are multiple instances of the BulletClass
- zombies spawn, so there are multiple instances of the ZombieClass
Where is the best place to put my collisions detection code, and how would I even start? I'm new to AS3 so there's no real code to show you, I just need some starting advice.
Would I have to add each name of the bullet and zombie instances into an array and check them against each other in every enterframe? that could get pretty big....

I'm having a problem with a hitTest that I'm not sure how to correct. Long story short, I have a box that is added to the stage and beings to tween down to the bottom. If the user presses the left arrow to catch the object before it leaves the stage, they get 1 point (hooray!).The issue that I'm having is this...multiple instances of the same MC are supposed to be added to the stage by a timer but because of how I've set it up, they all have the same instance name. That leaves me with one of 2 options. I can get the hit test to work, but only 1 instance ever actually shows up or a bunch show up, but the hitTest fails. How can i add multiple instances of the same object, but still be able to determine if one of them is overlapping the box when the user hits the arrow key?[code]

I want to detect collision for several different objects, but want to keep the code as short as possible. whether I can use an array to hold the different movieclips and then detect collision with the entire array, or if I have to create a class and do it that way.

I basically need to scale an object up when the user rollsover the button which I have created dynamically already and I need to make sure the object is fully scaled up before I can allow the user to scale it back down again.Ive tried putting 2 tweens (x and yscale) into a function but not sure how to check if the tweens have finished. Im assuming if I check the function is complete it wont take into consideration the tweens may still be running.

I'm using Flashcs3 in AS2.[code]My character gets stuck in walls and slows down trying to get out, also, hes about 10x faster now. any suggestions? Im working on a flash overhead shooter, multiplayer only. and I need the script to work so there can still be a bullet collision on each wall and not to be able to walk through it.

Okay, here's the rub. I'm making a little maze game. In this maze game, I have walls. They link to a class called Wall.as. In order to collision detect with the player, I do this:
MovieClip(parent).checkCollisonWithPlayer(this);
Where (parent) is a manager logic class. The parent does this
public function checkCollisonWithPlayer(wall:MovieClip)

I'm actually working on a multiple collision detection in actionscript 3.0, using pixel collision for a game for my assignment, where an enemy patrols around and searching for the hero. So, i draw a line between the enemy and the hero, to check whether there's some collision happened between those two. if the line colllides with an obstacle such as wall, door, etc. enemy will not be able to see the hero. When i tried a single line collision with a wall (one object only) it works perfectly.
But here's the problem. For the multiple objects collision (several walls and doors included), i added those objects in an arraylist, When i used for loop to check the collision between the line and those objects in the arraylist, none seems to react , except the first object in the arraylist or index 0.
Is there any simpler way to do the multiple collision detection?

I'm having a problem with my multiple collision detection code for a platformer game.. It checks for collisions on all objects separately and it checks only one object per frame. I need to make somekind of a loop so that it would check every object in one frame. Anyone got an idea? It's coded like this:

I'm trying to make it so that the instances of the class "Enemy" stop completely when they get too close to each other. They are circles so determining a collision is easy. But when I used this code:
Code:
if (Math.sqrt(Math.pow(x-_root.newEnemy.x, 2)+Math.pow(y-_root.newEnemy.y, 2))<=width+3) {
canMove=false;
}
[Code]....
This code works just fine when I test it against the instance of a different class, but it's not working for some reason.

Having done some programming in Groovy, I know you can write test code in the Groovy console. I classify this as true a scripting language as it doesn't force you to have a class definition. So I'd assume with a name like ActionScript with 'script' in it's name that, you can write a series of statements that act linearly, such as a sequence of variables assignments, their manipulation and dumping out a value.
My question is if this is possible, how do you go about doing it, in order to test some code with ActionScript3? Does the code have to exist in a package?Can the code exist on it's own? (If so, what would the name be you'd give to the source file in order to compile it from the command line?
Would you use mxmlc?
Would you use compc?
I've heard about fsch too. How about that?I also read about a command called 'asc' in R.Braunstein's AS3 Bible 2nd ed (P8), but don't even see this in the SDK bin folders.... So what's that all about? Assuming I've managed to compile this name.as file, how do I execute it and see results? Do I have to run it through a browser and the HTML template, or can I execute from a command line?
Do you have to have a class in the source to bypass this? Can the code block be placed outside a dummy class? If so, does it have to exist in a function? Or can it exist on it's own?Does it have to exist in a code blocks, by wrapping them in curly braces?

I am currently creating a game in which the character is stationary in the middle and the world moves in relation to the character. When the character is not moving and not touching anything, I need the world to shift upward to meet the character and stop on collision detection. The problem is I have no idea how to conceptually make this work.
making assets "fall up" and stop when colliding with an object (basically reverse gravity).
