Should I use an array to manage multiple hits?
I have used AS2 for a long time, and have decided it is time to start working with AS3. When attaching multiple movieclips with instance names I would normally do this (AS2)[code]...
View 2 RepliesI have set this:
Code:

I have a custom Image class that I am using to store individual image information for a gallery application:
package mtm.test
{
public class Image extends Object
{
[Code]....
This is how I would implement the above:
var image:Image = new Image();
//I would be loading external bitmaps but for the example I'll just create new ones:
image[BitmapThumbnail] = new BitmapThumbnail(new BitmapData(65,65,false,0x000000));
[Code]....
Is there a simpler way to do this? I feel that there is a lot of repeated code within the BitmapType sub-classes.
At the least, this helps to avoid a bunch of for loops trying to find the requested size, and it seems portable to situations where more or less sizes of Bitmaps are required.
EDIT: attention i make a mistake explaining my situation, chek my post #4 Like we know to manage the depth of an elment placed on the stage and bring it on foreground, we can write
setChildIndex(myMC, numChildren-1)
Now my situation is little different. I've a stage populated only by an array that contain *n* MovieClip inside it then the last MovieClip i've pushed inside it is obiuvsly the element with the hightest children number, then, it's result on foreground. If i want to bring the MovieClip cointained into myarray[1] on foreground, what i can write?

I have an array of movie clips, and I want to be able to control their visibility(make them invisible to start). The array is called allCoffees, I tried:Code:_root.allCoffees.visible=false;That did not work, so I tried looping through the array to do it:
Code:
for (i=0; i<allCoffees.length-1; i++){
_root.allCoffees[i].visible=false;

I'm trying to set up a preload system that can load multiple XML files and manage an overall progress bar but got immediately screwed by ProgressEvents not bubbling. My basic code set up is: Document Class
XMLManager extends EventDispatcher
XMLloader extends EventDispatcher
So document class up an array of xml paths and passes that to the XMLManager, that then iterates through the array and creates a new XMLloader for each path and stores those XMLloaders in another array. The XMLloader goes off and creates an URLLoader that loads the XML. It has listeners for Event.Complete, IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR and ProgressEvent.PROGRESS which is fine.
I'm getting the correct progress data in my progress handler but what I want to do is broadcast that progress data straight back up to the Document Class which I had thought would be where dispatchEvent would come in by doing something like this in the XMLloader class:

I want ask u how can i create hitTest function that when two mcs from movieC array hits eachother they can change their colour. Both of them.
View 3 RepliesThe Setup: For each movieclip the hittests a set of "target" movieclips an array is given a value. If mcIcon1 is dropped onto mcTarget1 the first number in the vacant array is given the value of one. The Issue: If I remove mcIcon1, for example, from the mcTarget1 movieclip I can't find a way of just removing the 1 from that array without the rest of the array numbers being reset.

I'm making a small adventure game, and I want the game to go to the next frame once the main guy MC hits another invisible mc, like where the door is. I suppose another way of doing this is when the main guy mc hits an xy coordinate. So basically what I want is a script that says, when MainguyMC hit another MC/ coordinate, go to frame 2

View 1 RepliesI want it to remove everyone that it hits, but it only removes the first one that hits. I am sure the answer is simple, but i am slow. Here is the code:

The box got this code:

I want the box to trace when it hits mc2, but it don't works!
I have 2 movie clips with a linkage.

View 1 RepliesI'm working on an AS3 project that must load a lot of external files; images, sound clips, movie clips etc. The program first loads an XML file that contains the file names of all assets needed by each class. From that point on I'm not sure what would be the best way to distribute those assets.I thought about making a dedicated assets class that will load everything the XML object describes, and then pass it to each class' constructor so they can access the objects they need. This seems like the "tidiest" option, but is there a best practice way for managing loaded assets?
View 1 RepliesPURE MVC - In my application there are multiple screens which are minimized like in windows desktop. Now each has different instances of mediator which have same notification. So if I do changes in one screen say press some button >> which sends some command >> to proxy >>then proxy sends notifications to mediator.

How to make sure that proxy calls to particular view component (mediator) and not for all live instances of mediators ?
