ActionScript 3.0 :: Making A Cannon Fire?
May 8, 2011
Me and my friend are making a sidescrolling shooter to learn ActionScript 3. But we can't make our cannon shoot the cannonball. Here is the cannon.as
ActionScript Code:
package com.edwardothesheep
{
import flash.display.*;[code]....
And this is the error it gives:
TypeError:::Stage@1fc34b51 to flash.display.MovieClip.

this one has got me stumped. I want an object to move 10 pixels every time a key is pressed, and I don't want it to keep moving when the key is held down.And I want to know why it moves once, and then waits a bit before moving more. I do not see why anyone would want it to do that!!!

EDIT: Rotation issue is solved with this:
ActionScript Code:
Math.atan2(ydif, xdif)/(Math.PI/180)-90;
I made a cannon consisting of 3 movie clips: The barrel, base and projectile. I want the barrel to point toward the mouse and the projectile to follow the barrel on the "inside" (behind the movie clip). Also i don't want the barrel to instantly go to different angels, a smooth animation that make the barrel feel like it has some weight would be nice.
Here is an image of the project: [URL]..

For a project, I'm making an interactive side scroller.You move the character with the arrow keys and press the space bar to interact with things.So far, I followed DexNote's tutorial on YouTube.I thought that I would make the interactable objects as buttons, while the mouse focus would be on the character and when you press the space bar it make a mouse click in that area.The trouble I'm having now is that I don't know how to make the space bar trigger the "interactions."

I set up some code to record key presses and specific chords. My problem is that I only want the keys to fire once when pressed. This is especially a problem when I require the user to hold CTRL + LEFT for an action.
The user experience is that I want users to hold down CTRL to enter a mode and then press the LEFT key as many times as needed. Currently, the CTRL trace and LEFT trace fire continuously. Is there a way to do a onKeyRelease?
Code:
var keyListener:Object = new Object();
keyListener.onKeyDown = function() {
if (Key.isDown(Key.CONTROL)) {

i have a little flash-player with a playlist and so, it plays normally a vlc-mp3-stream but has an extended prelisten-function (wich plays the mp3's directly via http, secured with a password)i've got an array with 2 Sound()-objects (for preloading purposes), the code looks like this :
Code:
playStream = url=="";
if (playStream) {
SoundObjects[SN].load(new URLRequest("http://" + URL + ":8001/MIRstream.mp3?" + Math.random()), sloader);
} else {
[code]....
this works for the vlc stream (which is not continuos), but not for the mp3s on the http-server in my opinion, this doesn't makes sense..except, maybe the recent CSRF-hardcore-paranoia [URL]
PS: i use AS3 with flex_sdk_3.2.0.3794 and flashdevelop (i activated flash10-support, but it still works in fp9)

This may seem totally impossible - but I can't get any script to fire off the timeline. I have been given an fla, big animation about 15000 frames long, and no script will run from the timeline. I have tried everything - reset classpaths, delete ASO file, rebuilt a fresh project from the original project's layers... There are no compiler errors If anyone has experienced this then lend me a hand...I'm about to tear my last piece of hair out!

how on earth do you get a timer to fire randomly? I've had little practice with timers but thought this would be a simply task to complete but cant figure out?
i've got a movieclip which"pulses" using the EnterFrame event, but would also like something else happen to this clip atrandom intervals using a timer. i've tried "timer = new Timer(Math.random() * 1000); but nothing - it just fires for the first time at a random time, then at set intervals after that....
how do you get it to randomly dispatch?

I wanted to use the currentStateChange event in my application but whatever code being called in this event was not executed so I thought may be there's something wrong with my code so I tried testing it on one of the examples in adobe live docs.So I took this example here
<mx:states>
<mx:State name="One">
<mx:SetProperty target="{p1}" name="x" value="110"/>[code]....
And all what I did is placing an alert in both events currentStateChange and currentStateChanging of panel One and I didn't get the alerts when clicking on the panel.I also tried replacing the inline code with a call to a function that makes the alert also nothing happened.

So I had a requirement to add an undo function to my app and I discovered this nifty ChangeWatcher class, but it's not doing exactly what I want and I'm hoping someone knows how.ChangeWatcher seems to monitor assignments to the variable reference. So when I say:
myXML = <xml/>
it fires off it's function just fine and dandy, but when I say: myXML.appendChild(thisOtherXMLVar)
I get nothing, even though the variable changes the reference doesn't so ChangeWatcher doesn't fire off the function.how to get ChangeWatcher to pick up on all changes to a variable?

I have a series of symbols on my stage which represent lamps. Once a frame, I want to randomly select a lamp and switch it on if its off, or off if its on; I already have a working function which does this.
I have tried to use the onEnterFrame function to try and fire this function once a frame, but I don't seem to be having much luck, largely because I do not know how to use onEnterFrame correctly. So I have a movie where my function is fired only once when it is first run.

I am making a custom scrolling list (smart phone like) in actionscript 3 and have the parent contianer catch mouseEvents for MOUSE_UP and MOUSE_ DOWN.Sometimes the mouse up event is missed, maybe one in 20. Does this happen if the events fire to rapidly? I do not want to use the MOUSE_ CLICK event beacuse if the mouse pointer moved at all I want the list to scroll and not catch a Click event.[code]Can I somehow ensure that all events are fired?Or if not can I somehow get mouse button states directly from flash? Not via the mouse event object, but in onEnterFrame().

I've managed to design myself a pretty awesome little conundrum and I know there are some kickass Flash peoples here I'm working on site for a friend of mine in class. I built a Flash website for them, but I didn't want to make Flash based MessageBoards and Blogs, so I built those in PHP. You can see the website at: [URL] I can simply link away from the Flash website to the Messageboards [URL] But instead, i want the boards to slide down OVER the Flash website using Ajax and Mootools and Absolute positioning the div containing the Messageboard. That part's not important, what's important is...
How do I get my "the.BOARD:" btn, in the Flash site, to fire the Javascript function that'll make the ajax call and slide the div out over the flash site? Lets say the function is called "moveBoard();" Does anyone know of a way to fire this js function from the CLICK of a moveiclip in Flash? Let me know if anyone needs alittle more information.

I'm starting to learn classes and I'm doing a class that loads a textfile with a variable, using loadVars, followed by pure html text, then it applies css to the html text and displays it in a target textfield...I'm still new at this as I said so the code is very rough. I've worked out all the little kinks up to now..I'm stuck at one thing:When the text loads, the "loadVars.onLoad = function" is supposed to fire the css function that applies the stylesheet to the text, but I simply can't get the function to run...Is it impossible to call a private function from another private function in a class block?code:
Code:
class LoadHtmlText {

I've searched and searched on this but with no exact answer. I have a script for scroll wheel support (which I shamefully purchased due to time constraints) but it only works in Internet Explorer. Can some one kindly look at this script and tell me why the scroll wheel only works in IE but not firefox and safari? From my searching it looks like a common issue but I cannot find a resolution to it.
