ActionScript 3.0 :: HitTestPoint Code Fails When Placed Inside Movieclip
Jul 29, 2009
I'm doing a basic hitTestPoint which works fine when everything is placed on the root of the flash file. However it fails when all the elements are placed within a movieclip. I've a feeling the problem is due either to the registration of the objects changing once they are placed in the new movieclip symbol, the 'relativity/absolutness' of my referencing or the "hitTestPoint (dragable_object_mc.x, dragable_object_mc.y, true)" part of my code.I have two movieclips: dragable_object_mc - which you can pick up and dragstatic_crashzone_mc - If you drag the other object into this a collision is 'traced' in the output window(it works fine until I place the _mcs and code into a new _mc symbol)Incidentally if I use the 'hitTestObject' code on the root or within a movieclip, it works fine.[code]

I've followed a tutorial and everthing works fine but I'd like to use hit-tests instead of the intersect-code. change the code so it works just the same with hit-tests.I dont get the same result.

I have been using TweenLite for all of my easing. I was wondering what the code is for having a button inside a movieclip not active while the movieclip is tweening.Then when the movieclip does finish tweening the button then becomes active.

I have my two MovieClips and I both of them collide and the hitTestPoint works, but I want to make that one MovieClip will not be able to go on if that second MovieClip is in front of it but its can turn so that it to another side so that it can move.

Which one is more efficient? Or is there even a noticeable difference? I did tests of a circle moving closer to a square and stopping when hitTestPoint returns true. The square was at 0 and the circle was at 500. My first test I did using hitTestPoint the entire time, my second test I did by checking the distance (Pythagorean Theorem way) and if it's below 50 then check with hitTestPoint.
I compared the FPS of each test but they were the same at 30 FPS with 200 circles and at 11-12 FPS with 500 circles. I thought the first test would be slower because I was testing every pixel the entire time while the second test I was only calculating the distance for the most part before testing every pixel.

I'm currently creating an app which allows users to select blocks of text from a List and dynamically create a TextField on the stage.I'm calculating the height of the TextField and positioning the next TextField beneath.I'm also recording the total heights of the TextFields so that I know when the total height exceeds the available height, at which point I move the x position and reset to y position to zero.
When the next TextField will exceed the available height I want to split it into two, so I'm calculating the remaining height, making the TextField.height into the remaining height.when I try to get the position of the last visible line.If I have the TextFieldAutoSize as LEFT, then I can dynamically generate the heights of the TextFields.For the final TextField in the column I need to set TextFieldAutoSize to NONE so I can change the height of the TextField. i.e. I don't want it to autosize.However, bottomScrollV returns the total number of lines, not the last visible line.
I can create the required behaviour in a separate doc but when I copy the code into the loop it fails.Here is the code.
Code:
public function buildTextFields() {
3 columns (I'm calling them TextBlocks)
// so the first is 0;[code]....

I have a routine that dynamically loads photos into movie clips.However, when I put the routine inside a listener, it does not work.[code]Here is the exact same code inside a listener.I verified that the listener actually runs by placing a trace statement inside it.But no photos appear on the screen.[code]

migrating some of my code snippets over from AS2.I tried reproducing one of my most used bit of code - the dynamic border - in AS3, but I have run into a small problem.
PHP Code:
var sw:int = stage.stageWidth -1;
var sh:int = stage.stageHeight -1;[code].....
So this code works great in Firefox but fails miserably in IE6, Flash Player 9. So my question is does anybody have a workaround that works on IE6, Player 9?

I've got 13 movieclips that all run a function (setNames) contained in a child object (namer) it contains. The function displays text in a dynamic text boxI've set them up with the instance names mark0 > mark12 so I can target them with a loop and array notation which is something I often use. But the loop sometimes doesn't work, however a list of 13 separate lines of code works fine. Am I overloading Flash with too much code commands at once, and is there a way around this?This doesn't work...
for(i = 0; i<13; i++) {
//sets names
this["mark"+i].namer.setNames();

I have a site that loads XML content data into a movieclip right away. When the user clicks a button, that movieclip is removed and replaced with another. When the user clicks a back button, the XML is loaded into the movieclip once again. The trouble I'm having is when I upload the files to server, the XML will not load a second time either by refreshing the browser, navigating away from the page and going back or going back from within the flash file itself.

CS5. 120fps bottom layer png of car, duration 120frames, top layer png of indicator lights duration 60 frames, run movie lights flash. Select both layers and go Modify>convert to symbol>movieClip. Copy the MC that appears in the library to a new blank file, make that file also 120fps. run movie see car but no lights flash. I have done no coding at all, does it need such to run. It has just what may be created when choosing new file. What I had been doing was putting this MC at the start of a bent line, snapping to the seed point, then 7 secs later (frame 840) placing it at the end of a bent line, snap etc.
Rotated it to match direction of line, created then a classic motion tween, then added a guide layer and put this line (edit copy>edit paste in place) onto that guidelayer at fr1. deleted the original line. Made the MC at fr1 orientToPath. Run Movie and it worked, but no indicators. Thinking the indicator function got screwed up somewhere, I did the test above. Obviously not the MC as a classic tween at fault. Something fundamentally basic I am expecting to work.

When I run this with the movieClip "screens" tweening through the mask everything works as expected. As soon as I try to do the same with the movieClip healthLibrary the mask effect fails. One thing I just noticed is that all the assets in the healthLibrary mc are png files while all the assets in the screens mc are jpg. Could that be the problem?

i just would like to know how to create an "hitTest" script inside a movieclip that is actually part of that hitTest code?I mean... I have mc A, and mc B. and the current hitTest code im using (that is on the timeline) makes mc A, destroy mc B when collide with it... but there are many mc B on the stage (with the same instance name) so, when mc A collide with one mc B, it destroys ALL mc's B... but i want it to destroy only the mc B that he collides, not all the others... maybe an hitTest script inside a movieclip B would work (somethig like "if MC A hitTest ME = i die" (not all the others)).

If i add a preloader code inside the same fla which i have to load. then it takes some time to load its library content first and then it starts loading the other things in Flash.But normal preloader code will not show loading of its library content. So any body have any idea how to make that without loading via other file. i have to add loader on the same file.

I have this code that makes a menu with two buttons appear following the mouse when the mouse rolls over a movieClip:
Code:
var imgOptions:menuMC = new menuMC();
//Makes the image options follow the mouse
function showImgOptions (e:Event):void
{
[code]..
The problem is that the buttons are children of imgOptions, and when the mouse is over these two buttons, the movie reacts like the mouse is not over the imgOptions movieclip.

I decided to rearange my flash site and now things don't work.I used to have an image collage where all the images were buttons and each image was located on the stage ( which made a stage with 10+ loose images)I made each image a button. Below is a code example for one of the images named "icysophistication_app_btn". The previously working code for it was:
icysophistication_app_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClick_IcySophisticationPopUp);
function onClick_IcySophisticationPopUp(event:MouseEvent) :void {

Are there any other swf to HTML converters, I know there is Wallaby and Swiffy from Google, but does anyone know any others, that support ActionScript.

I'm having a bit of problems with simple XML coding. I'm using a simple flash application to write a XML containing customer data (simple stuff, like phone number, name, email, etc).I understand how to write XML manually, but my issue comes when I want to create a element inside another element. I'm using AS3.So, for example, I have the following xml.

i'm using "iloveitaly"s easing scrollbar class, and it works great. however, i added an effect that i want on my scrollbar, and it doesnt work quite how it should. what should happen is when u press the dragger, it should duplicate itself and then fade out, giving it kinda a "mouse trail" type effect i guess you can call it. anyway, here is the code for the part in the class that doesnt work:
Code:
private function onPress() {
startDrag(this, false, lockPos[0], lockPos[1], lockPos[2], lockPos[3])

Can a button play a movieclip if it lives within another movieclip? Let me explain: Buttons in a map key ran route animations on the map. Code for button (accessed by selecting button and F9) ..reads : on (release) { gotoAndPlay("BusRoute_375");}
[Code]...
All layers and consequently all route movieClips that relate to the map as well as the stop codes for the individual route animations now reside within that MovieClip which sits on a new layer above the map key layer. However, the key buttons no longer run the route animations. What should be done so that when clicked they still play the route MovieClips. Its like the button code cant see the layers it once refered to, now that they are in a movieclip.

I have a problem concerning sound. Sound and AS3 to be more specific.my shoddy description of the problem, but here it is: How do I stop() an AS3 INTERNAL sound from another movieclip?
This following Audio-code is on a movieclip within a (Base)movieclip. It stops playing/looping when a button is pressed that gotoAndStops on another frame within the same (Base)movieclip. But when a button is pressed outside the movieclip and (Base)movieclip, which gotoAndStops on another movieclip on the timeline, it continues playing.
