I have been making a game and have run into some problems I want to make a hitTestObject between multiple arrays, i have tried something like this:
for(var i:Number = 0; i < array1.length; i++)
{
array1[i].y -= 10; //Moves object up
for(var a:Number = 0; i < array2.length; a++)
[Code]....
When i run it, some object will detect the collision and will output "hit", but some will ignore that. I have also noticed that some object in the array1 stop running the move code (array1[i].y -= 10) after i have added another array.
I have a horizontally scrolling flying game involving a character and diferent types of food moving across the screen from right to left which the character has to collect ("hit"). I have the hitTestObject working for 2 different food movieclips with one item belonging to a healthyList, and the other to a junkList.
how to add more items (movieclips) to each of the lists, so that I have for example 6 items in the healthyList and 4 items in the junkList.
Below is the code in my Engine.as file. The red highlighted text is the code that creates the problem. I thought that I just needed to add this line in order to add another item to the "healthyList" of food types, but I obviously have it in the wrong place or have the wrong code completely.

{
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.display.Stage;

simply set: I do have a dragable movieclip (mcMagniDisplay) which is generated on the fly while initializing all my variables ... and I do have 4 circles (mc_boxXHitCircle) which are already placed at the bottom in the stage in advance.All I need to do is check, wheter the mcMagniDisplay is hovering one of the circles or not.

I want a chart that has several separate series running in rows across. They are largely separate charts and should not overlap, but all share the same horizontal datetimeaxis. They don't share the same y-axis, however and that's where I'm getting stuck.I have tried having a linechart series and then a plotchart series, but it will only allow a single <mx:series> per chart without having them inside the same series which as far as I can tell will place the charts on top of each other in the z-axis. I can stack them and have them completely separate charts, but it was proving to be somewhat irritating having them align correctly.
Is there any reasonable way of combining multiple charts into one like this? Basically having rows in a table where each row is a different chart but the columns are consistent. or am I going to be best served just by stacking separate ones? an illustration of what i'm going for is here: http:[url]........
I have a circle_mc on the stage. Then I create randomly placed 20 squares (square_mc) on the stage. I can move my circle on that stage, and all I want is to check hitTestObject(or any *yet unknow for me* method that gives a result) if circle touches any of squares. Then I need to remove that touched movieClip (square) from the stage. hitTestObject checks if 2 specific objects are touched. My question is how to know which square is which, and then if it touches with circle_mc to remove it from the stage.
Code:
Select allif (circle_mc.hitTestObject( ?whatHere? ) ) {
?whatHere?.removeChild( ?whatHere? );
}
In one of our project we are using flex for front end, blazeds/java in the backend. Its an existing code where services are prewritten. I have to make calls to 3 services in the backend (basically 3 remote objects) and get their result and store the result in an object and show the data of this object in a view.
Now in front end we are using Flex and Parsley Framework. I was thinking of the following approaches.
1) Making commands for each service call and storing the result in a shared object (model) and then displaying this model in the view. In this approach the problem is some services are needed in some other web pages, but they donot need the same model. How should i handle this scenario ? Should i make a asynchronous remote call and fetch the result and then again dispatch and event with the event object storing the result.
2) Making a service call , wait for the result then make another call and wait for the result and then make other call, not sure if this is the right way ?
I'm having a problem in my side-scrolling game where when each "prey" gets eaten by the character, they are counting multiple times, causing the "score +1" to happen too many times. It's almost like they are hitting the character a few times before being registered as "hit" and disappearing.
Code:
function preyHandler(event:Event)
{// handler for prey getting eaten
for (var i:int=0; i<allPrey.length; i++)[code].....
What I have done:
1/ A very simple Flash movie
2/ 5 very basic rollover buttons
What I want to happen:Everytime I'd hover the mouse on each button, I would like the background animation to run. And have the animation stop on mouseout for each button.I was able to make it on one button via this tutorial: [URL]But this doesn't seem to work with multiple buttons involved.
I'd like to use the same music player displayed multiple times on the same page, one for each song. But when songs are played, I want the existing play to stop. For example:
song1
song2
song3
I click to play song1, while it's playing, I decide to play song3 instead. Based on the default setup, song3 will start playing while song1 continues to play. I'd like song1 to stop when song3 starts.
Is there a way to plot multiple data for the same value x? For example following points:

I have a doubt: When you open various flash pages in tabs, for example in Firefox, all those pages share the same Flash instance or each one use an instance of flash??
View 1 RepliesI have done words animation in flash and converted as swf. I have more than 300 small swf files. Now I have to merge all these files in to a single swf. Is there any software to merge multiple files to a single file. I don't want to use loadMovie, because I haven't used script in any of these files. Since it is an urgent project, I can't add code in all these files.
View 0 RepliesI am trying to use an existing link with a flash file that is functional to also link to another page at the same time. Basically I am using Joomla and I have a flash file that has menus and pictures and such. I want to be able to click on a link within the flash file and still have it do its given function of pulling up an image or opening another menu or whatever the current function of that link is. The problem I am having is that I also want this link when clicked to navigate to a specific url to show aditional content on one of the Joolma pages.when one of the links in the flash file is click and it pulls up a specific image within the flash file.I want it to also pull up text or other content below my flash file that goes along with the image.
View 1 RepliesI'm building out a Flash / Flex viewer and I'm looking for a tool / software that will recompile several to many SWFs into one SWF file. I have an XML file and would like to load that into a compiler that would compile the SWFs into a single file.
View 1 RepliesI have a button that I want to work on multiple frames. Currently, I have a scene that automatically starts to play when the playhead enters the first frame (no stop command). I have an event listener in the first frame that listens for a click. After the click the user is supposed to go to another scene.
The problem is that the button is not working. I am assuming that the code in the first frame only applies to the first frame and I need to add additional code that applies as the playhead is playing across the multiple frames.

View 7 RepliesI'm really new to flash, and just taking an intro level course at the moment.Anyways, for one of my projects,I wanted to load some .jpg files onto the stage, and make buttons from certain aspects of the image.So for example,I have an image of a coconut that I wanted to make a button out of.Right now I am trying to use the pen tool to outline the shape of the coconut, and then create a symbol from the pen tools shape.However, I'm obviously not doing something right, as when I turn the image into a symbol, instead of creating a button symbol from my outline with the pen tool, it just turns my whole .jpg file into a symbol.
I want to be able to make multiple clickable buttons from a single image,I know how the coding will work once I can make the individual buttons, but right now I seem to be missing a step.
My problem is that I am trying to use the following functions on 10 different logo movieclips. Each logo movieclip has a popup up box (another mc) within its timeline with a description in. When I hover over the logo movieclip i want it to call the forward frames function and on hover out call the rewindframes function.
function forwardFrames() {
onEnterFrame = function () {

View 4 RepliesI have an application in flash, I build in ActionScript 3.0 Flash IDE, my application loads some external swfs which mentioned via XML file. Its working fine at the moment. But I need to compile all these external SWFs and xml file into single exe file. How can I compile like this. or how can I code like this?
EDIT: 1 from here : [URL]
You can see an example, the application is build in .net and it import pdf and publish it as flash projector or web based(swf). How is it compiling all the external SWF files.
I'm working on a Flash project that deals with multiple files. There is a main file that loads in individual SWF files as they click on different buttons. The course has dynamic text Fields that are populated via XML. So right now, my idea is to give each page it's own XML file? Would this be better suited to have one single XML file for all the pages, and the container file or multiple files?
Also, this is going to be a multilingual project. EDIT: The XML files will just be storing text information to populate the text fields, and some links to load in images. Also, the loaded SWFs will never be accessed without the use of the main "container" SWF.
I have 16 movieclips, each with different instances and linking to htmlsI owuld like to have it so that when you ROLL_OVER a movieclip, they shift position 1 along the x and 2 along y axis.I've given each MC a ROLL_OVER event listener and know I could call separate function for each but I'm sure there's an easier way.This is what I have already have

I am trying to build a video player in flash that would be able to play multiple flv's as if it was a single video. I come running to you because I don't really know how to go about doing this. I know how to load in an flv and play it, but I want to load in say 3 flv's and play them, the thing I'm stuck on is, do I need to create multiple net streams?
How can I tell the swf to start loading in the next flv when the first one is 90% loaded...? I see you can play an flv, by passing a url to the play method of the net stream object, but how can i get an flv to be on 'stand by' and load in, and add it when the first flv is at 100% finished playing?

load multiple variables from a single text document into one main dynamic text field. If it is possible could someone post an example for me i would appreciate it a lot
View 6 RepliesI have figured out how to play a sound with AS3, but i cannt figure out how to use multiple sounds. to play a single mp3, i am using this:
Code:
//number that is redefined when the pause button is hit
var pausePoint:Number = 0.00;
//a true or false value that is used to check whether the sound is currently playing
[Code]....
but what I need to do is have 4 different mp3's, each with its own stop & play button, so the user can play any file they want. These are voice over reels, not music, so each needs its own set of buttons.
here's what I have - a custom video player that pulls everything from an XML doc. In that XML doc, I have three sections that contain start, middle, and end times (in seconds) for the video. The goal is to track how many times the start, mid point, and end of the video are reached.
This all works, however I'm encountering a strange action. When I play the movie, I get output that the start point has been hit, then I get three (3) duplicate outputs of the mid point getting triggered, and finally six (6) reports of the end point hit.Strange. The numbers change slightly, (1,3,6 and 2,4,10, and 1,4,8) times for each of the start/mid/end triggers.
Here's the code that I'm using:
("prefs.prefOmnitureStart", "prefs.prefOmnitureMiddle", and "prefs.prefOmnitureEnd" are the numbers in seconds that are pulled from the xml. In my example, they're 2.0, 6.0, and 10.0)
Code:
myVideo.addEventListener(MetadataEvent.CUE_POINT, cp_listener);
function cp_listener(eventObject:MetadataEvent):void {
myVideo.addASCuePoint(prefs.prefOmnitureStart, "sendOmnitureStart");
