ActionScript 3.0 :: HitTestPoint - Hittest Doesn't Work?
Dec 30, 2008
I have this code so that when a spaceship goes through a blackhole it plays the spaceships moveiclip. This works fine on the first part of the code when the user just clicks the start button.However, i have put in a difficulty setting and when you change the difficulty setting the hittest doesn't work anymoreand there are no error messages. I have tried putting the blackHoles array in the difficulty function but nothing changes and i didn't really think this would make a difference as the easy function is already using the blackHoles array outside the difficulty function.

If I move a display object and use hitTestPoint afterward on the same frame against a point within the object's new shape bounds, I get false no matter what. On the following frame I get true like I should. If I then move the object away and in the same frame hitTestPoint against a point which is NO LONGER in the current shape (since it moved) but WAS in the shape on the previous frame, I sometimes get true and sometimes get false. This seems totally screwed up. Am I going mad? I've tried the move and hitTestPoint in both mouse handles and enterFrame handlers, but enterFrame handler is the only one I really care about at the moment.
Check out the following code; click to define a new position for the large object, then in the next entetFrame event it will move it and perform hitTestPoint -- object turns orange when hitTestPoint is true. You should see the same weird behavior described above.
ActionScript Code:
var circ:Shape = new Shape();
circ.graphics.beginFill(0x009900);
circ.graphics.drawCircle(0, 0, 30);

I have about 100 movieclips that scroll across the stage from out of bounds. They are supposed to hit another movieclip both in bounds and out of bounds, but it seems like Flash only detects the hittest when it happens within the frame.
if(_root.sceneclip.reef1.hitTest(this._x+300, this._y+350, true) ){

So I'm doing this project for school and all, and I'm trying to do a htitest on an object. For some reason, it doesn't work. So I tried writing out my own method... Which halff worked, but wasn't as exact as it should've been.
Heres my code (Though I'm pretty sure somethings wrong with my MC, so i'll upload the main .fla file)
Code:
right = true;
left = false;
itemX;
itemY;

I have two pieces of code, that won't work together.First: this makes a hitTest on an mc to make it run on rollover:
Code:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (this.hitTest(_root._xmouse, _root._ymouse, true)) {
if (this._currentframe<this._totalframes) {
nextFrame();
[Code]...
Each work seperately, but they won't together. How do I get around this?

im trying to create a menu that drops down when you roll over it. however I cant get hittestPoint to work.I have a movieClip on my stage with a class attached. Inside this movieClip is another movieClip with an instance name of "hitBox"
ActionScript Code:
package {
import flash.display.*;
import flash.events.*;[code].....
Is it possibly to do with the mouseX and mouseY being local?

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 decided to try to use setInterval for myanimation, which is just a mouse trail.However, I'm trying to get teh mouse trail to be a dynamic mask.In my previous swf this was achieved by using a holder mc with the animation inside and then using this as the mask. But this time I just canpt seem to hit on the right way to get it to work. The code I am using for the mouse trail is:
Code:
var i:Number = 0;
var myInt:Number;
var t:MovieClip;[code].....
in the function, but now the trail doesn't resize and the mask still doesn't work.

I am trying to create a game. My game is birds eye view game and I am trying to get it so my character (instance name hero_mc )can't pass through the buildings(instance name block_mc). I have been looking at tutorials on the web and most of them cover it so that a text appears if you hit the object whereas I want it so my character can't pass through or well is "push back", the one tutorial I found doesn't want to work for me, but it's not giving me any errors so I really don't know what is wrong with it.
Actionscript Code:
hero_mc.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, enter_frame); function enter_frame(event:Event):void{if (hero_mc.hitTestObject(block_mc)) { trace("hero _mc is next to block_mc") } else { hero_mc.y += 10 hero_mc.x += 10 } }
My character still passes through the block objects.

I have this very simple .fla file and you use the keys to move the bus around. As it detects the hittests with the other movie clips on the stage it goes to and plays a frame on that mc's movieclip. It all works fine but i dont want the hittest to repeat after it has done it once(on each movie clip) so that as you drive the bus around you reveal the photo. [URL]

so my game's code is as follows:
Code:
//The Austin Weisgrau (El Nacho)
//Blob Game, to go with the video so it will get like the .3 mor it needs not to be blammed
[Code]....
the character instance is Blob and the background instance is Background. i can't get the hitTest to work with either of those two things in the /* */ and i need to no how i can

For some reason I cannot get my hitTest to work on an mc within an mc within an mc...which is assigned to a variable...
Code:
var miniWin:MovieClip = CAD_mc_mini.zoomControl.miniWin;
trace(miniWin); //returns _level0.CAD_mc_mini.zoomControl.miniWin

I was trying to make it so you had to hold up this ball, and if it touched the block near the bottom of the screen, it would go to the first keyframe. (The menu.) So, I labeled the ball, "ball", and the block, "block". Then, I added this code to the block:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (ball.hitTest(block)){
gotoAndPlay(1)[code]....
And tested it out. To my dismay, it didn't work at all. I've spent about 30 minutes testing other ways, and I cant seem to make it work.

import flash.display.BitmapData;
import flash.geom.Point;
//
var BitmapA:BitmapData = new BitmapData(550, 400, true, 0x00);
[code]....
This is using the bitmapdata.hittest way to check whether the one bitmap is overlapping the other. Throug pixel-to-pixel detection.But I'm having trouble understanding this line:
Code:
if (BitmapA.hitTest(destPoint, 255, BitmapB, currPoint, 255))
I know that destPoint is the topleft point from which it is determining all opaque pixels. No value is given to destPoint so basically it is checking from 0,0. Having determined all opaque pixels from that bitmap it should compare them with the opaque pixels of the other bitmap. But why does currPoint use the topleft coordinate of its movieclip? Couldn't it just as well use 0,0 too? I mean when determining the opaque pixels of bitmap two it might as well start checking for those from 0,0 as the topleft position as well?

i am making a game where a ninja runs through a course, every thing is running smoothly. EXCEPT hittest will not work, hittest never works on ANY of my projects. I know im doing it right, because ive even tried copying and pasting working ones. Look at the attached fla file to see what im talking about.is it my computer that wont let it work, because the exact codes worked for all of the people on youtube that used it.

I'm having a problem with my dragOver function.The point of my project is that can drag the items that are on the table to the little bag (this is a button) on the left bottom of the screen.The thing is that the dragging works but when I perform a hitTest the item is supposed to dissapear, but it doesn't....

I have a button object that I need to scale to align with the variable width of an array of images.However, when I set the width in code, the button does not actually become that width. Tracing out the width gives me the correct value, but on screen.. it's off.
I've proved it to myself by scaling the same button object manually in the properties pane and visually comparing. Both of the buttons below have a width of 410.
Code:
navigatorDown_btn.width = 410;
navigatorDown_btn.x = (stage.stageWidth/2)-(navigatorDown_btn.width/2);
trace(navigatorDown_btn.width); // output: 410

I am having trouble getting a hitTest to work. My two MCs are lines, one horizontal, one slanted. When the horizontal line gets within the "bounding box" of the slanted line the hitTest is true, but it's not touching the slanted line yet. I saw that the shapeFlag property comes into play here, but only when using coordinates... I'm not sure how to apply it to these two lines. I want the hitTest to be true only when the lines actually touch. I have attached a simple FLA of the problem.

Lets say that I got movieclips A,B,C,D in my scene and E,F which only come into scene when A hitTest B and C hitTest D.I was able to make the A+B and C+D hitTest functioning properly. But when E,F came into the scene, I tried to make E to hitTest F to get something else function but they won't work.# note that there is some short animation before E & F come into scene.I am pretty sure all the instance names are named properly.

I've been trying to write a hittest that will work for rounded walls on my RPG. But I've been epic phailing.
Heres my code:
onClipEvent(load){speed=10;
}onClipEvent(enterFrame){if(Key.isDown(Key.UP)){this._y-=speed;this.gotoAndStop(5);
}if(Key.isDown(Key.DOWN)){this._y+=speed;
this.gotoAndStop(6);}
if(Key.isDo wn(Key.RIGHT)){this._x+=speed;this.gotoAndStop(7);
}if(Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)){this._x-=speed;this.gotoAndStop(8);}

for some reason the hitTest I have setup in the attached file seems to work in relation with the blue box's that surround objects and not with the actually objects. Anyways I'm pretty sure that it has to do with the border.

I have a swf that is pretty complicated, you can interact with the page and go to different keyframes and it stops and/or starts depending on buttons, but I want to put it in a fla or something so I can put other swfs next to it and build it up and put several of them together as one.
I don't care about making it too complicated, I just want one interactive swf to go to the next compiled swf when that movie ends, but when I try importing it or loading it it just runs straight through without stopping or paying any attention to the scripting.

I am trying to more between frames using the data returned from a node n_EventID in an xml, when the node returns "1408" I want to move to frame 1 but if it returns anything else I want to move to frame 2. The part where the code moves to frame 2 seems to work perfectly but I can't seem to move to frame 1 when "1408" is returned.
xmlResultFinish = new XML();
xmlResultFinish.ignoreWhite = true
xmlResultFinish.onLoad = loadXmlResultFinish;

I'm having a problem, where random IE's are not able to display my .swf file. All the IE's are IE8 with the latest flash pluggins and all security's are set at Medium, however some IE's get just a grey box and other's get the full flash file. What's going on? It works fine in Safari and Firefox of course, but why so much difficulty with AS3 Flash9 in IE? here is a link to the site, and it's the big image changer at the bottom of the front page.

Is it common for AS3 apps to not work in IE? Is there a way to make them work? I have a movie clip in my library linked to a custom class Main and I have nothing on stage. Just one frame. Everything is built inside that movie clip. I add that movie clip to stage through a document class and everything works perfectly in Firefox and Chrome but when I open it in IE, it's just a blank page.

this is what i have on the maintimeline:[code]I have 4 moveiclips called: redhex, bluehex, greenhex, and yellowhex.what the above code should do is make a 15x15 grid of hexes (yes i wanted all 4 hex mc's overlapping each other at each space on the grid.).Before i added the lines to dupllicate the blue, green, and yellow hexes also... the redhex movieclip duplicated exactly as it should.But after adding the lines to duplicate the blue, green, and yellow hexes also, in the same locations... Nothing at all showed up when i tested the movie (not even the redhex's)
