I have two movieclips and I want to test if they have collided. However, I want them to still be able to touch eachother (i.e. no pixels between them) without them registering that they have collided. I'm using the following code but it doesn't quite do the trick for what I am wanting to do:
Code:
thisMovieClip.hitTestObject(thatMovieClip);
I'm trying to detect overlap between elements on my canvas. The attempt is to reuse some of the code for collision detection at [URL]
This is the smallest MXML sample I could come up with that gives me a type error.

I have made a functional to use a number of objects on the stage which should not load overlap with other object of the stage.But, Some time it goes stuck in infinite loops or overlap others.

im creating a circle dynamically with each click on stage, with the drawCircle function, now, that circle is a shape, not a movieClip, im arranging this circles inside of an array, and i want to check if they collide, so that second circle dont appear if its occupying the same space as the last one, or at least trace if they are colliding so i can do something about it....
i've made tests with movieClips and no problem, the mc1.hitTestObject(mc) works great but not so great with raw shapes, it just ignores collisions
Is it possible to detect multiple overlapping movie clips and subsequently telling the user which clips s/he has moused over? Basically, I'd like to have a set of movie clips that are in different shapes overlapping each other (ie, a set of letters...A, B, C), and when the user mouses over a certain area, only A & C would be revealed (if they are being moused-over) but not B. Basic Listener/MouseOver tests seem to only show the top most clip, rather than others below it.
View 7 RepliesDoes anyone know how to use hitTest with two movieclips so that it would detectthe collision of the visible part of the MC, not the **** bounding box???
View 2 RepliesThe problem is, i need to detect the quantity of movieclips that a child movie clip is over A movie clip is over several boxes and that boxes are MC, in the image for example when i drag the child MC, this is over some movie clips but i cant detect which movieclips are.
View 1 RepliesI have a flash drop down menu that overlaps a separate flash piece in an HTML page. The example of what I am talking about can be found here: [URL]
When you hover over product types, you'll notice that the drop down falls under the 'water banner'. I have set the z-index of that specific banner to be lower than the flash header but it still did not work. When I change the 'water banner' to a static image instead of a flash file, the menu overlaps without a problem.
This is the style that I have applied to the navigation bar
#flash_piece {
z-index: 1;
position:relative;
top:0px;
}

I want to add a lector in every frame with question. Everything works fine if i have 3 sounds of lector. When i add next, more then 3, in 4 frame sounds starting overlap on self.I dunno why, there is no error or warning. Funny is, if i change positions of sound for example add lector to 1,4,5 and 6 frames, overlap starting at frame 6 and next ones. I solved this problem by playing sound with AS3.
Here is a code:

var soundReq:URLRequest = new URLRequest("1.mp3");

how can overlap a bitmap to another, setting the alpha of the top one in a way that I can still see the bottom one?Like if in photoshop I have to levels with one image each and I decrease the alpha of the top level.
View 6 RepliesIm using Flash CS3 with Action Script 2. I create a Flash file with few scenes in it. im using movie clip button in every scenes plus i embed .mov file in some of the scenes. I also have sound in every single scenes.
i create btnHDPage1 with instance name hd1 to be linked to scene1 and i create btn2 with instance name hd2 to be linked to scene2. (all these buttons are movie clip buttons). i have a sound and both scenes and a .mov file in scene1
The problem is, when i click on hd1 or hd2, yes it goes to appropriate scene. but the sound is overlapping and when im in scene2 and click on hd1 to go to scene1, my sound does not play and my .mov does not working.

i am doin a room planner where objects can be moved about 2 problems i got so far number 1 how can i make it so the objects can not overlap each other when the user drags them about 2nd problem is is it possible to put a arrow on the corner so when the user clicks it it spins round?
View 2 RepliesI have a screen showing 6 buttons. 3 of these buttons are fixed controls which must always be in view while the remaining three will be randomly selected for each question from a total of about 150 possibilities (do I really have to make 150 differently labeled buttons? (but this is a side issue)). these randomly selected buttons show up at randomly selected screen positions? I'm vaguely aware that X and Y and random will be used here.
The idea is to prevent the user from becoming familiar with the layout and building an intuition which would be counterproductive to the aim of the application. The remaining aspect of this problem after randomizing the position of the three dynamically generated buttons is that they must not overlap the 3 fixed controls which must be always available. I'm sure II could spend weeks on this without a few good tips to point me in the right direction.
I am creating a flash website and I want to scatter images all over the screen. Now doing this part isn't that hard, as it seems simply as giving them random coordinates. However I do not want them to overlap each other nor certain areas.I haven't scattered them yet, I've tried though with hitobject etc. How can I solve it so they won't overlap each other?

View 3 RepliesI have designed an interface and on one of the pages there are thumbnails of book covers which you rollover each cover and on the "up and down" states ive included the blurb which has some details about that articular book. However not all books appear correctly, the blurbs go behind the other book covers. All the books covers are placed on a single keyfame in the timeline, i have tried it on separate layers as well but got the same result. above the screenshot of the problem: Ive tried many ways to fix it and each time it is the same.
View 3 Repliesi have two draggable mclips on stage and need one of them two snap to the other whenever it passes over it. I tried with f(hitTestObject){ mc1.x = mc2.x; and mc1.y = mc2.y}, but it doesn�t work very nice.
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to simply draw a solid shape consisting of various other shapes, however, when I overlap two shapes, the overlapped area becomes transparent again. For instance:
Code:
var myShape:Shape = new Shape();
myShape.graphics.beginFill(0x000000);
myShape.graphics.drawCircle(10, 10, 25);
myShape.graphics.drawCircle(20, 10, 25);
myShape.graphics.endFill();
this.addChild(myShape);
The above code is AS3, but I believe the same thing happens for AS2 as well. The overlapping area between the two circles is not clack.
I like to place lets say 4 movieclips on the stage with a random x-axis, but with no overlap, and if possible also not outside the borders of the stage. Performing the hit test would be not to hard, but then perfomring it again untill it is true, that is the tricky part (for me).
On the other hand I just want to place them visually random on stage, but infact they need to be more or less evenly distributed over the stage width, so maybe another solution is easier?
part of the code:
Code:
else if((i > spacery) && (i <= spacery*2)) {
container.x = Math.floor(Math.random()*800);
if (if (container.hitTestObject(container)){

I have two rectangles, one of which is draggable, and when hitTestObject occurs I want to prevent the overlap.

redSquare.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, dropIt);

I've been able to avoid this issue by avoiding overlaps or breaking the top layer down to a bitmap but in this particular design I need to have overlapping buttons. Previously if I had an MC overlap a button (cs3/as3) the button wouldn't work so in this design I made sure the hit areas weren't overlapping and the buttons do indeed work. Problem is when you click them, most of the time, there will be what looks like a single frame blink. In recording the issue the blink is the exact size of the full button being pressed. [URL] All of the buttons do it, Home, Bio, Demo, Contact. If it doesn't do it at first, keep clicking and they will.

when resizing the window, swf objects overlaps?
I have made a Actions Script 3 code that fetches an image, does an addchild do it and adding a mask to it aswell.
Everything works fine, except the mask I've made is an animated MovieClip, and this MovieClip hides some spots where 2 or more objects inside that MovieClip overlaps each others.I haven't found how to remove this effect, so the mask is valid on overlaping aswell.[code]...
I want to effect a kind .. a binder, that when you mouse menu comes back to front, I've created a tween on the Over the menu and applied a small effect for him to run to the right and then back to the same place on the last frame and I put 'Modify > Arrange> Bring To Front 'But even then it did not work: x.
View 0 Repliesthe sound is place inside a movieclip timeline on the first frame. its about 600 frames long the sound. the main timeline were the movieclip is situated is only 1 frame long. The main timeline is 50 frames long.I thought if the movieclip was not on the frame the sound wouldnt play.
i have an issue with the sound in the game.ive place a soundtrack on the first frame. its a long sound track. over 600 frames long. I place the sound inside a movieclip due to a large size. My issue i have is it sound plays even on the frames the movieclip is not situated on.when i return to the frame. the sound starts to overlap and play twice which is a bit of a mess and a racket.
