I'm having some trouble with an Asteroids game I'm making as a first game. The issue I'm having is that I'm trying to do hit detection using a for loop that runs hitTestObject against every item in an array, but every time it runs it returns true no matter where the ship or the asteroid are on the stage.Here is my code:
Code:
function setup() {
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, keypress);

I am makign something which generates a random number, then proceeds to check it against a range of fields loaded from an XML file. I have checked and the fields are loading the correct numbers in, but the "if" statement is always returning 'true'. The only time I have been able to get it to properly execute is when I use numbers instead of variables. I have tried using Number(variable), but that doesn't seem to fix anything. here is my code.
ActionScript Code:
on (release) {
_root.colnum = Math.round(Math.random()*100);
if ((_root.colnum<=_root.wballmax) && (_root.colnum>=_root.wballmin)) {

From my flash file I need to make a call to an external link, and retrieve a value which is either "true" or "false".This website will display either:<resp>false</resp> or <resp>true</resp>I have no influence on the external link - so I can't add anything to that file.Depending on the returned value, I want to do something simple like:
ActionScript Code:
if(true) {
//DO SOMETHING
[code].......
about.buttonMode = true;
about.useHandCursor = true;
I have this on a MC I use for a button - and it works but only on HALF of the object - how can I make so it works on the whole object itself?
I know how to do this in other codes, but..if (condition1=true) AND (condition2=true) then... How do you do this in AS?
View 5 RepliesI am pulling the words "true" and "false" from a query, but in flash I need them to be the values of true and false, not strings, is there a way to convert this datatype?

In my program, the movieclips are randomly added on the stage, If I want to check whether two movieclips from different classes is colllided.As far as all the moveclips are of the different classes which are randomly added on the stage in my program,for the use of hitTestObject(), I find that I need to have two movieclips identified so that the command will be:
mc1.hitTestObject(mc2)
maybe I may ask, before I add a mc on the stage "addChild(mc)",I will call a function to do the hitTestObject command "mc.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, hitTest)"so that I can call evt.target to be mc1, is that true or not?
Im've created a timer that starts every 1 second. This is the code what's happening every 1 second.
var Random_Value_X:Number = Math.ceil(Math.random() * 1500);
var Random_Value_Y:Number = Math.ceil(Math.random() * 2000);
var enemy:MovieClip = new AI(stage);
addChild(hero);
enemy.x = Random_Value_X;
enemy.y = Random_Value_Y;
Ok. Then I got the class called AI where I've made it so the AI follows my player. The thing is, I need to make a hitTest that testes if an AI hitting another AI? Is there a way I can give every new AI a ID? Like the first gets called "AI1" and second AI2" and then I can make a code that says like If(AT1.hitTestObject(AT2 || AT3))
I am trying to develop a basic game engine for a slime soccer style game where a player can move around and jump. I am still fairly new at AS3 but managed to put together this working bit of code that the game currently runs on:

var blueGoals:Number = 0;
var redGoals:Number = 0;

I have children being added to the stage, and they all have the same name:

I have a project with four circles moving randomly on stage (ball_mc1..ball_mc4). There are four walls making a box (wall1..wall4).I've created arrays for both myCircles and walls.When myCircles hit walls, I would like to change the direction of myCircles depending on which wall they hit.

I am building a pacman style game, and I am looking to shorten my code.The stage contains 92 instances with instance names of food1, food2, etc.When the player(pacman) hits one of the instances Im wanting to call a funcion.I started writing it out like this... it works but I don't want to duplicate this 92 times!
if( player.hitTestObject(food1) ) {
updateScore();
}
if( player.hitTestObject(food2) ) {
updateScore();
}
Now I'm trying something along these lines, but with no success yet.
function collectFood() {
var i:Number;
var pGroup:String

I would like to make a button that allows you to go to the next frame. I would like to do this with hitTestObject. When the charecter walks over the button, you should go to the next frame.

I'm working on a scene where the user can drag sugar, honey and syrup flavour to a cup of coffee and each time they collide, the coffee's happiness is increased by 1. I added a TweenLite so that sending any of the objects to their original positions is much more fluid. The problem is that the hitTestObject is now firing more than once (which makes sense and now happiness is increasing at more than one increment at a time) but how can I make it so happiness is increased just once?
Code:
public function hitsDecaf(e:Event):void{
if (myCounter.myHoney.hitTestObject(myCounter.decafSweetened)){
ifStartTimer = true;
stopDrag();
myCounter.steamHappy.gotoAndPlay(2);

I'm trying to make a simple maze game. I have movement working, and now I'm trying to implement collision. Here's what I have:
An 8x8 grid, with walls of length 1 to break the grid up into a maze. the walls are instances of a movieclip I've named "mc_wall" a guitar-pick-shaped chip I'll control the movement of a cross-hair called "arms" that will check if there are walls immediately surrounding my chip by way of collision. "arms" is a movieclip made up of four individual movieclips: "uparm", "leftarm", "rightarm", and "downarm"
I have currently named each instance of "mc_wall" to be "wall" this is the code I have now (using only right as an example):
function moveRobot(event:KeyboardEvent):void
{
doslide = true;
if (event.keyCode == Keyboard.RIGHT)
[Code]....
this will work, causing the chip to remain in place if the rightarm detects "wall", and move if the rightarm does not detect "wall". My problem is that, although I have named every instance of "mc_wall" to be "wall", the only "wall" flash will recognize is the last one.
Is there a way to adjust this code to look at all 70-or-so instances of "mc_wall" instead of only the last one?
Ok I am building a DnD, I have a hitTest setup, and I know when it hits it. But I can't get out of the for statement if I drop it on the second object. It says it hit it, and then anims back to org. place.

public function onStopDrag(evt:MouseEvent):void {
stopDrag();

Press the picture to get it larger. That's what i really need for my project. I can't get it to work.please explain it for me to, im learning flash so I can need that to understand sometimes
View 1 RepliesI dont think that will work. I need to have it as individual blocks.I did a quick demo file to show what I need. You will se in the file that the map is randomized and I need it to be like that to! READ THIS: I want the green cube to fall down (gravity) and than "land" on the gray cubes. This is a small demo, of my full version flash file, so i need it to be blocks.

View 1 RepliesI'm getting the following error when trying to do collision
[Code]....
I have a project I am working on in Flash CS3 using AS3.I have a drag and drop quiz that contains 8 boxes. 4 of the boxes contain dynamic text boxes with the vocabulary words. 4 of the boxes contain the definitions to the vocab words. The students drag and drop the vocab words onto the definitions. My issue is that hitTestObject is only working on the first box everytime. I have a for loop in my endDrag code that should loop through each object and test against it to see if there is a hit. Can anyone see anything wrong with my loop?
View 2 RepliesIm using hitTestObject to start a mc playing, but it continues to loop even though there is a stop(); on its last frame.
]Code]...
The mc "rolly" is the one being looped. Its animation is within itself (hope that makes sense) it is not looping the main timeline.
HitTestObject seems to check collision of bounddaries of shapes, it seems to consider everything rectangular. Also if one object jumps two pixel and other five pixels on EnterFrame it seems like there won't be any hit detection. Seriously guys what else method do you use, if you use hitTestObject how do you use?

Anyway, the game is basically Breakout, where you control a Paddle, and try to hit a ball towards blocks.I cant figure out how to remove the blocks when the ball hits them.[code]...
