i no i will use the bitMap draw function and push each 1 into a array in order. but im unsure on how to separate 1 image into seprate 1s. can any1 just give me a quick knolage burst. as soon as im told how to ill be fine coding it just getting my head araound the math(not my strongest subject, bad i no).
View 3 RepliesI'm making a game where you place tiles on a grid. When placing a tile, I need to check the existance of another tile to the left, right, or above and below, otherwise the tile should not be placed.. Here is a function I thought would work, that accepts one variable (the position of the tile just as it is about to be placed) :-
private function checkSurroundingTiles(gridPosition:uint) { var t1 = gridPosition - 12; var t2 = gridPosition - 1; var t3 = gridPosition + 1; var t4 = gridPosition + 12; for(i = 0; i < gridRefArray.length; i++) { var checkTile = gridRefArray[i]; if(checkTile == t1) { return true;

What I need to do is assign 5 separate dynamic text fields to 5 seperate buttons and at the same time to those same five buttons i would like to add 5 images that i would be able to change merely by swapping out the images in the file theyre in on the server.I would also like to get a nice transition between the images...ALSO i want to dynamically load the images for the buttons that will be used for switching from picture to picture(which im thinking i will be able to do after i know the how to do point the aforementioned things.)
Through tutorials I've found around the net I've been able to get most of the parts together... but i get lost because what they show you for AS2 they don't for AS3 and vice versa, at least that ive seen.so... I guess my question is... would i need to set up 5 seperate dynamic text fields on the stage and then set each one of them to one of the corresponding button. If so what AS code would i need to use to do so. And if not what would i need to do?
The other part of the question would be I know about the UILoader... would i be able to use it as my buttons and images, if so would i need 5 seperate ui loaders for both the Thumbnail buttons and the images or is there a way that would be better to do it? and once i do that would i do the transitions using frames and tweens like with AS2?
If I create a new flash AS3 file and create two blank keyframes in my actions layer I can add actions to each keyframe separately no problem. I can then easily switch between the actions frames from the menu bar on the left of the actions input panel. However if I try and do this on any of my projects i've been working on for a while when I create a new blank keyframe in the actions layer and try to add actions to it, I get sent straight back to my first actions keyframe and not a nice blank page. Can I even apply seperate actions to seperate keyframes?
View 6 RepliesThis is NOT the same as my last thread as i am after three and NOT ONE as last time. In the attached movie there are three seperate movies loading into three seperate tweens. Please note that i am happy with this movie as it is, and do not want to change anything about it except for the script itself. It refurs to three seperate clips "b.a","d.c" and "f.e". What i want is for the script to incorperate all three clips under one name of "mc" And instead of have three seperate widths, "width 1","width2" and "width3" i want the script to also incorperate all three widths and heights into just one name of "width" and one name of "height".
View 9 RepliesI'm making a strategy game the uses a tile map to show information about the other players! Every tile is 50*50px and when you start the map it loads about 50 tiles and puts them together (all this from a Flash->ASP->MySQL which i managed to do on my own)
What i need to do is to make the map draggable (kinda like maps.google.com) and make every tile clickable! I can't manage to do both of these things at the same time All the tiles are in a movieclip called mapMc so by creating a big button above the visible map area and write:
ActionScript Code:
on (press) {
allSize = _global.fullMapSize/2; //This gets the size of the map after all tiles have loaded[code].....
And that kinda works (except for the boundaries)Second, when you press a tile, which i stupidly constructed as another button, so every tile is a button (loaded dynamically) with as that fetches the tile information (already fixed ) But how do I combine them?
Image of tile only shows once, how can I make it show more than once with my newTile MoiveClip object?

import myPackage.GameBoard;var Map1:Array = [[1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1],

[1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1], [1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1]];

I am wokring on a movie and I want to tile a movieclip instead of a bitmap in AS3. I have figured out masking and the bitmap tiling in AS3, but am still encountering trouble finding a good solution for simply tiling an MC symbol across a set width and height in AS3.
View 7 RepliesI want to put an array of objects into a grid. I know the code is simple but somehow I'm not getting what I want.
Code:
const PADDING:Number = 10:
const COL:Number = Math.floor(Math.sqrt(tiles.length);
const ROW:Number = Math.floor(Math.sqrt(tiles.length);
for(var i:int = 0; i< COL; i++) {
var tile:TileSprite = tiles[i];
tile.x = i * tile.width + PADDING;
for(var j:int = 0; j < ROW; j++) {
tile.y = j * tile.height + PADDING;
}}
Notes:
- The array is declared else where as a public variable
- This is to be part of a game engine I'm building so I want it as flexible as possible
- The tiles as reading their properties for an XML file. But I don't want to use the XML to hard code the tiles' positions.

I am looking to take a single image and have it fill the screen....then I want the user to be able to pan and zoom in/out , and the image to be tiled into infinity. So eventually the screen will be filled with tons of little versions of this image. I can do the scrolling and stuff, but I don't know how to infinitely tile a background.

View 3 RepliesI'm working on this little game and I want a movieclip to appear when hovered over, disappear when the mouse leaves the movieclip, and the visibility should equal false by default.
I have tried almost all the MOUSE_OVER, MOUSE_DOWN, MOUSE_OUT stuff and I already have it so when its hovered over, it appears and when its hovered out, it disappears.. I can't seem to make it invisible by default though.
Here's my code, if its needed.

import flash.events.MouseEvent;
exit2_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, manageMouseOver);
exit2_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, manageMouseOut);

I am trying to tile a small mc instead of a bmp image and I was wondering if anyone knows what aspects of Lee's tutorial need to be changed to accomedate that?

I tried a couple of things and was not able to get the mc loaded onto the stage.
I have a MovieClip I named mcGrid and I can't figure how to tile it as a background in my flash project. Is this even possible? If so can someone send me in the right direction.
View 2 RepliesIs there a way of actually controlling the spacing of the tiles I tried imagePadding, but it just pads the image within the tiles. But the tiles still stay next to each other. You can see this when you do a mouse over.

View 1 RepliesI'm trying to create a simple side scrolling platform game. So, my question is, which direction should i go in? Tile based or art based?So far i have a jpg that extends far beyond the stage and if i wanted to make a real level then instead of having it 480x2000 i would need to make it more like 480x5000 at the least.Im interested in tile based but all the guides i've found are rather dated.
View 1 RepliesI am using a tile list component and an areatext component. When I click on the graphic in the list a description of the graphic comes up in the text area. No problems so far. However I want to view a large image of the graphic at the same time as the text. I will attach one graphic so you can see how they show up. I will attach the .swf file also. You can see in the middle of the two areas (where the green square is) this is where I want the larger graphic to appear.
Here is the script
majorworksthumb_tl.addEventListener(Event.CHANGE, majorworksthumbClicked)
function majorworksthumbClicked(event:Event):void {
majorwork_ta.text = event.target.selectedItem.data;
majorworks_mc.MovieClip = event.target.selectedItem.MovieClip;}

Okay, since my stage doesn't take up the whole window when viewing it on the Internet, is there a way to tile a picture in the background? So no matter how big someone's screen is, in the background they will see a tiled picture.
View 4 RepliesIf possible I would like to tile an image or MovieClip along a line using the standard moveTo() and lineTo() methods, The lines are directional so need to show something similar to >>>>>>>>>>>>>. The lines can be at any angle, so using drawRect() with beginBitmapFill() isn't an option. Also if possible I would like to have the lines animated. Is this possible or will it require a custom class?

View 1 RepliesI'm using as container for my LinkButtons. I would like to know
1) How can I remove the space between the items in my Tile container.
2) How can I set dynamic width for my items (at the moment they all have the same width regardless the width of the included component)
3) How can I avoid to display scrollbars if the items are not included in the container
I have a list with tile layout,I have given the item renderer's width as 100%, but the item dosen't resize to fit the content . The same scenario works well for horizontal and vertical layout.
My code looks like this
<s:List width="{this.width}" dataProvider="{allActionsArrList}">
<s:layout>
<s:TileLayout />

I need to have a spark list that switches between VerticalLayout and TileLayout depending on the user choice. The most obvious way is create two lists with separate layouts and then use States and the "includeIn" attribute. However, this is not a very good solution because I would like to keep the same items in the view when switching (if user scrolled to item 100 in the VerticalLayout and then switches to Tile, I would like item 100 to be visible immediately in the new layout, instead of starting at the first item).So I tried using 2 layouts on the same list and using the "includeIn" solution.[code]

This is my code so far, is square.graphics the way to go? How do I draw a tile that is a picture? Do I need to hold the graphics in some sort of array to do checking like collision?
I have a jpg tile that I made into a symbol. What I'd like to do is create a rectangle (this part I know) and fill it not with a color but with the tile symbol from my library repeating it on both x and y (like background-repeat in css).
