ActionScript 3.0 :: Implement Snapping On The Walls?
Mar 16, 2010I have a floor plan and I need to implement snapping on the walls. The walls are made with lineTo method.

View 1 RepliesThere's not that I can't do this, I just want the best way on how to. I want to create a grid in as3 and draggable items that snap to the grid. I guess you all know what I mean. The best way seems to create small boxes like explained in URL... Then add an addeventlistener to it that when the draggable item hits it, the x and y need to be set. Or is there an easier way?
View 4 RepliesSo I'm displaying data with a tilelist and a scrollbar. I want the use of the scrollbar, but I don't want totally free scrolling. For the rows I'm displaying vertically, I don't want to be showing like half a row, I want it to snap. I know this can be achieved with the up / down buttons of the scrollbar, but that's not the way I want it to work How would I be able to ensure that only a full row can be shown when scrolling?I've taken a look at the event you get when you subscribe to ScrollEvent from <TileList>.verticalScrollbar and they run through fl.controls::ScrollBar/handleThumbDrag and l.controls::Scrollbar/setScrollPosition before getting there, which obviously sets how the tilelist should be displayed.
View 3 RepliesI have a simple character rigging system that I'm working on and I'm running into a bit of a snag. I am trying out the system with a new character animation which has more subtle movements which flash appears to be using pixel snapping on. The result is that, since the eyes, nose, and mouth are all separate pieces and children of the head, their pixel positions are all being snapped a little differently and it looks like the pieces are just floating around on the face.
More background: The assets are SWF files loaded in at run time, they are not cached as bitmap, the issues only appear with small movements that make single pixel differences noticeable, the same animation loaded in as one swf and not rigged looks fine, but this is likely because that swf's x and y position is not changing, just the assets in it. It seems to me like flash is treating the loaded in facial assets as bitmaps with pixel snapping turned on.
i have a made adrag and drop situation where someone is cooking a steak. the pan has the instance name of triangle_mc and and the food has an instance name of triangle_mc the script below works fine.
[Code]....
Is there a way to have the startDrag command not lock to the centre of a MC but to have it snap and drag from a set location, ie _x and _y positions, on a MC.
View 8 RepliesI'm outputting some dynamic text, and I'm in desperate need of figuring out a way to display an image beneath it, and to dynamically display so it's always at the bottom of the text. The image is another line of text that is styled so I can't simply write it into the box.
View 3 RepliesI've got a movie clip that's basically a grid with small little boxes that total 84 rows, and 20 columns...I'm trying to get the user to be able to snap to the y position of one of the small little boxes.You click on a square, and position it over one of the small boxes in the grid, but it always snaps "wrong". I've tried --square_on_grid.y = Math.round(square_y/g_gridSpacing) * g_gridSpacing;
View 7 RepliesI have an imported png in a 'info_icon' symbol. I have another imported png in a 'info_content' symbol.
I have some code that allows you to drag an instance of a 'map' symbol around. Inside this map symbol are instances of 'info_icon' and 'info_content'.
When I drag the map slowly, I can see the info_icon instances and info_content instances, jiggle ever so slightly...I think to line up to pixels.
how to stop that. I'm looking at the pixelSnapping property and it doesn't seem to be helping..
info_button_mc.pixelSnapping = PixelSnapping.NEVER;
How would I go about snapping the mouse cursor to the centre of an MC when it is clicked upon (thus picking it up)? using a event.target.startDrag
ActionScript Code:
if (event.target.name == myEvent) {
if (event.target.currentFrame != 2){
event.target.startDrag();

I've googled out a lot of different stuff on this matter but nothing seems to work. I have a Sprite object which is used as a main container for other objects.The lowermost child of this sprite is a Bitmap which represents a background, the upper ones are MovieClips. These movie clips contain bitmaps. There are also DropShadow filters applied to these movie clipsThe problem is that when the main container moves, e.g. 1.3 pixels to to the right or to the left (doesn't matter) all those objects (movie clips contained inside of it) move like they snap to pixels. Well,it's obvious, they do. But is it possible to avoid pixel snapping for movie clips and sprites?I tried to set pixelSnapping of the bitmaps inside those MovieClips to "never", but it doesn't work. Removing all filters or drawing movie clip to bitmapdata doesn't help either.
View 3 RepliesI'm trying to make a gallery where the user can move the cursor to the left and right to have the images slide in that direction. I also want to have the image that's in focus snap to the screen after about 2-3 seconds of the cursor staying around the center.
View 1 RepliesI am trying to snap 2 vector points together but for some reason its moving the entire object instead of the point. I am trying to follow instructions in a book and the book shows that it is using the solid (filled) selection tool and it has the magnet turned on for snap options. It shows I am suppose to click where the (right triangle) appears beside the mouse arrow and then snap. but it keeps moving the entire Object even with the (right triangle) appear beside the mouse arrow. what could I be doing wrong ??
View 2 Repliesthen you will see that when you hit the walls or boundrys you "bounce" off them. I have accomplished stopping movement when hittest occurs but how shall I get the car to "bounce" off the walls. It would be great if you could supply the full code as I am not a great coder.
View 1 RepliesI might not even be approaching this the right way, but I'm trying to make a game where a ship flies through randomly generated tunnels. I'm very new at this, but I felt my question was a bit too advanced for the "Programming Beginners" section.So, what I came up with was two black vertical rectangles, ~50 px wide, ~300 px high and ~100 px apart vertically, as one movie clip. I want this clip to be duplicated infinitely, stacked to the right of eachother, and shifted by a random number between 0-10 pixels up or down.This is the code I used to create just one copy of the walls, hoping it would shift over to x=140:
Code:
for (var i=0; i<200; i++) {
duplicateMovieClip("walls", "walls_copy", 1 );

I really didn't want to have to post this question on any forums because it would be hard to explain, but I have spent far too many hours trying to figure this out so I have no choice.his is what I want to do: I want to have a little ball follow the mouse but not go into any walls at all. Here is a swf of my current attempts at doing this:As you can see, if there is a Y obstruction but not an X one, the ball will still follow mouseX, and vice-versa. However, there are some glitchy limitations as to having the ball follow mouseX when there is a Y obstruction and it must go over some hills to get to mouseX.Also, the code currently only checks to see if the four points around the ball are sinking into the walls, but it would be nice if it used more complex sphere calculations, or maybe 8 points
View 9 RepliesI can only get my character to bounce off of walls above him, and to the left of him! when going right or down, he just goes right through.. I tried a lot of combinations. Little push in the right direction please?
Code:
private function loop(e:Event) : void {
//if (goingLeft) this.animGus.gotoAndPlay(51);

I have this game, got various levels. The point of the game, is you have to shoot all the zombies in the level to proceed. But I need it so the 'cannonball' bounces of the walls so there is more of a chance to hit multiple zombies.
Incase you wanted to see my document class here it is below.

I am trying to program a Flash Game that utilizes all four directions to move the character. (i.e. Pressing up moves the character north, down - south, etc.) The character in the game does not actually move, but the background moves to simulate movement. I need to figure out how to go about programming the walls, though. I have code that recognizes collision, but what is the best way to do it? This is my code:
stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,handleCollision);
function handleCollision( e:Event ):void{
if(hero.hitTestObject(wall))
{
[Code].....
When I bounce a ball off the walls of the stage using the following technique.[code]Not only is the ball jumpy and skippy. but after so often it begins to go either in a vertal motion y = 5; x = 0; or a horzontal motion x = 5, y = 0. And stays that way. Why is it that the first method works fine but the other method works terrible. Could it be because the Math.cos and Math.sin returns very large decimals.I really prefer to use the second method.
View 5 RepliesI want to stop the movieclips movement when it hits a wall (another movieclip). The example below works, but after the collision the movieclip 'blocks' all movement to the left...
For now the example with the leftArrow key;
variables to check the key, if it's hitting the walls and if it's moving or not:
var leftArrow:Boolean;
var speed:int = 10;
var hitting:Boolean;

I tried almost everything to make my character stop when it detects a wall. It only works for UP and RIGHT or DOWN and LEFT but not all 4 directions, so only one y movement and one x movement. So I decided to make 4 functions, one for each direction. But then it only works when the left key is pressed and hits a wall.
What do I have to do to make the collision detection stop the character from moving in all 4 directions?
var leftArrow:Boolean;
var upArrow:Boolean;
var rightArrow:Boolean;

I have set up a player (movie script) with basic movement, and some walls which the player cannot pass through (using a hitTest). But whenever the player moves into one of the walls in the X direction, the player skips through the wall and halfway up the stage.
View 9 RepliesI make this simple system to simulate a colision of a block in "walls" and bounce like a pong ball. To use drag the orange square and release to start the movement. But i have a problem, sometimes the colision not happen and the block go through the walls, i try less the time of setInterval that verify the colisions but not solve my problem. colision system -> [URL]
View 3 Repliesurl...I was wondering if it's possible to setup an object to not just bounce off the walls, but other MCs that I put on the stage??I've included an example. I want the ball to be able to bounce off the ramp.You can "throw" the ball around the screen and it will bounce around.How can I get it to bounce off the slope without using too much CPU? Would hitTest() be too processor-intensive?
View 3 RepliesI'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);}
I posted a bit earlier about some problems I had with a game I'm trying to do.[URL].. My first and main problem is that the ennemies are going through the walls. I can do a hiTest like with the player so that the collision is detected, but I don't know how to make the ennemy change direction. I thought it would be quite simpler if the ennemies could not move simultaneously on the x and y axis, but don't know how to do it. (then they would only need to make a 90 degrees turn)
Second problem is the hitTest for detecting collisions with the ennemies. It seems like I'm not able to do it. There is the part which I thought would be good at the end of the script in commentary. Third problem, which is the least important in my eyes is that we see the ennemies even if the "flashlight" is not aimed towards them.

I have setup a box2d world with a keyboard controlled player. The player can walk and jump. How do I prevent the player from "sticking" to walls while jumping and pressing the directional key towards an object?
