ActionScript 3.0 :: Add An Object Onto The Screen?
Jan 18, 2012
I have some code here, works fine and everything, but I was just wondering if this code is an efficient way to add an object onto the screen. I just have mc's come on depending the amount in varFromAnotherFrame. Is there a better way to do this?
var someArray:Array = new Array();
for (var i:Number = 0; i < varFromAnotherFrame; i++){ if (someArray.length < 6) { var newMc:libraryMc = new libraryMc();
someArray[i] = newMc; addChild(newMc); newMc.x = -295 + (someArray.length * 80); newMc.y = -10; } else if (someArray.length > 5 && someArray.length < 12) { var newMc2:secondLibraryItem = new sisecondLibraryItem(); someArray[i] = newMc2; addChild(newMc2); newMc2.x = -775 + (someArray.length * 80); newMc2.y = -0; }}
I'm new to Adobe Flash CS4. I'm making an animation of some fish underwater. I have 2 small fish motion tweened to follow a large fish from left to right. When I view the animation in full screen the small fish seem to be wiped off the screen at a certain point. The tween box continues to follow it's path but the symbol disappears. This only seems to happen with larger objects.
I am trying to move a 'Shape' object across the screen. As the object moves, a copy is being left at the initial position. Almost as if only an instance of original object ahs been moved
This is not an issue for moving an image or MXML graphic. Is something wrong in setting to the move object?
The code is as follows
private var arrow:UIComponent; private function resetAssets():void{ arrow = new UIComponent();
I'm making this banner, or FMA if you rather call it that, for a company (school assignment). I have some text fading in and out displaying the message. But I want an interactive FMA.I want to make some buttons, and when you go mouse-over on them, I want a picture to be displayed (different image for each button), WHILE the animation keeps going. Thats not the tough part.However, when the animation repeats (starts from the beginning), and if I'm holding the cursor over the button connected to the picture, the picture disappears and I have to go over the button again. [code]
I'm working on a flash site, but I want the site to resize to the user's screen resolution...I'm new at actionscript and flash, but what is the most efficient way to accomplish this?
I have a button control set up to switch my program from windowed mode to fullscreen, and back again.
This is just 2 buttons that alternate frames in a movieclip.
I was wondering if there was a way to keep the movieclip locked to the upper right corner of the program when the user switches between windowed and fullscreen modes.
If you click the "FS" button inside the player for full screen, it goes to full screen, but does not scale my player. Here's my SWF embed code. I have tried it both this way and taking out the wmode line.
<script type="text/javascript"> // <![CDATA[ var so = new SWFObject("player_bitgravity_fs.swf", "flvplayer", "724", "409", "9", "black"); so.addParam("wmode", "transparent");
How do I get the 2D screen coordinates of a 3D object when using Papervision 2.0 (Great White)? I've read that following properties should return the screen coords but these always return 0.
I'm trying to debug AS3 code on production. I have no access to trace(), can't write to disk or open a socket. What I want is to display something on screen.
With AS2 I could just access _root and create a text field with my trace data.
how I can pull this off with AS3? My class extends Object, it is not a sprite and is never added to a parent display object.
I am new in flash developer. I want to set my frame at the center of the screen interdependent of screen size. but we are working on full screen view (means stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.EXACT_FIT).Logically I want one background image at back side, which cover all part of the screen, and on that background image I want to set my frame image at center of screen with fix size of (1000 X 750 px).
so i am having trouble with adding a box randomly on the screen. I have done this before and it seems like it should have a relatively easy solution. But alas, i have not been able to figure this out. This is the info: I have a box mc with exporting as Box. I have a Box Actionscript file with this code in it:
[Code]...
Nothing happens at all but there is no errors. Also i would like to keep everything in the classes.
On my previous post Adding a object randomly on the screen in as3 I explained the specifics of my situation. But I will go over it again. I have a box with a class(not my document class. I do have one called Main but this one is just an AS class referencing my box.) The classes name is Box and my MC box is exported as Box. This is the codethis is in my main file on the main timline
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, createbox); var _box:Box = new Box; var boxlimit:int = 2;
I'm programming a game in as3 using flashDevelop the player (among other things) is moving across the screen using EnterFrame event which update his coordinates while he moves its hard to see details of the animation and its look kinda blur how do i fix this problem?
I must have a error in my code it should move an object across the screen but it is only doing the first 3 moves (its not working betwen if 3 and if 4)[code]...
Hi, I am tring to make an object move across the screen randomly..I want it move up-down left or right acording to the values created..for example I want my object move between value (-5 and +5 ) whats wrong with this ? because it always moves downward ???
Just starting my first project using AS3 and using SWFObject to embed in HTML to get a full 100% width/height flash (photography site so needs to fill entire window, especially with widescreen).Is using SWFObject the best way, and what do you think the best width/height stage dimensions are?
I have a Large moveable object that can be clicked and dragged around the movie, but how can I make so that if I border off an area of the movie the objects movement is limited to those corners. So the top left of the object cannot be dragged further than the top left corner of the border and so on.
I drew a farm and I want to be able to move the animals around, also to make it a bit more real, they need to scale down proportionally along the y axis, I have been searching for a tutorial or download to no avail.
I have attached screen shots that shows the flash objecting moving. I am not hosting the website yet so I have created an archive so you can view it here: [URL] Although if you do not have time to download and view my website, I will provide my website's HTML on my second post: how to keep my flash object in the same place. (regardless of screen resolutions)
I'm trying to create a game and I'm new to actionscript. I'm using actionscript 3.0 and flash player 9. I'm trying to have a button that when clicked creates an object that follows the mouse around the screen until that object is placed on the screen. When I click the button the object follows the mouse but it ends up covering the screen with the objects drag.
There is a small issue that I am not able to solve. Me and my friend are working on a school presentation with many images. The images load as a gallery of piled cards which can be moved and rotated. Now I need to add text on the frame and want it to be aligned to the right of the screen. The stage is aligned to the top left corner. Now the problem is that the text doesn't place itself at the right position on the screen.
I have an object that is instantiated, then placed into a property within a singleton (single instance) object. When a button is clicked an event is dispatched carrying a payload that references the display object that is held within the Singleton. When the event is heard, my view object adds the object to the display list e.g. addChild().The Item shows. Now If I hit another button an event is dispatched, and a new item is added to the display list via the method above and is seen. The 1st object is removed from the display list Here is my problem. When I click the button to load the 1st Object the above process is executed again but the object does not show.
I can run trace statements from the object that is supposed to be visible and they run fine. I even do a check to see if the visible property is set to true, and it is, but not object is on my screen. Code for this process.
//custom event carries the name of the page aka display object. this is a string dispatchEvent(new MenuEvent(MenuEvent.CHANGE_VIEW_STATE, event.payload)); //When the event is heard, the following condinial is run
I wrote a class for an object that as soon as it is created moves around the screen and can create another object (replicating itself). That seems to work fine for a while, but after like 20 or so objects on the screen things slow down a lot! I create the first object on frame one. The rest is all done by the objects themselves.
Would it be better if the objects did not move around on their own, but rather through a loop on frame one or does it not matter? I am working on a simulation that should go up to over 100 objects, but with this problem can't get there. The object is just a movie clip (imported png picture about 4 by 7 pixel, not animated). I was going to replace it with an animated one later, but that seems unlikely now.
I'm trying to create object and insert them in an array, for moving them across the screen. I'm trying to use the attachMovie for this task:
attachMovie("MyObject",arrayVal[counter],1); the problem is that the second parameter must come in "" like attachMovie("MyObject","arrayVal[counter]",1);
So, as you can see, i'm not able to tell which number comes on the "counter" variable
arrayVal[0] arrayVal[1] ...
and i'm not able to use it latter:
arrayVal[0]._x++; ...
How is this usually done? (i'm a as3 developer, so i'm stuck here)
