If I have a movieclip moving random around the stage, and I have another movieclip I one corner. is it possible to add an event listener to listen after if the random moving movieclip comes over the other movieclip?
View 1 RepliesI need an actionscript that moves 1 dot to random location. This dot is over 200 frames, would I have to put an action on every one of those frames...and note that I said Move not jump to another place.

I wasn't quite sure how to describe my problem in the subject. I have a plane MC and a crate MC. The plane only flies along the y axis from the bottom of the screen to top. Along the way I want it to randomly drop the crate MC. My code is below. The problem is that the crates spontaneously keep spawning and not near the plane.
function movePlane():void
{
var tempY:Number;

I'm creating my first game in Flash mx. Its a conveyor belt game where toys move from left to right. There are several boxes located underneath the belt. The user has to drag and drop each toy into its correct box. I want each toy to continuously come out in a random order. (1 idea) randomly select movie clips from the library? Each movieclip representing a toy.

I'm looking for a function for a random moving clip (devined x position) with lets say 5 secons interval, that is also functioning as a mask. But the clips that need to be masked should change in opacity in stead of vissible or not vissible.
View 1 RepliesI was wondering if it was possible to move a MClip from a defined "point A" to a defined "point B" (precisely), but this with a "snake or bubble" movement (or something like that).

Ok, i am creating a snakes and ladders game and have so far produced the board, the counter and the dice.Once the dice is rolled it returns a value called 'rollValue'The counter is a movie clip with the instance name 'counter' and is set up on the timeline with position 1 on the timeline being the first place on the board, position 2 on the timeline being the second place, 3 on the timeline being 3rd position on board etc etc.What i need to do is move the counter to the position on the timeline (hence moving it on the board) that is returned by the dice value.I was thinking something like this:
counter.gotoAndStop(rollValue);
or maybe this on the actual counter which would move it the amount of places determined by rollValue:

I wish to have a function that will take as input a radius value and a magnitude value.
It will return firstly a point (x,y) and also secondly a direction, (vx,vy) which will have a certain magnitude(speed).
The point returned will be a random point within the radius value and the direction will be a a (vx,xy) that moves the point perpendicular to the line segment (x,y) ->(centrepoint).
I've just finished using this bit of simple code to get an object to move around randomly. What I want to do is try and get it to disapear or move off the stage after say a minute (with a countdown clock in the corner starting from a minute and counting down).
View 1 RepliesOne of my main interests is playing games so I thought why not make a game? I see lots on the Internet games based in Flash so I thought that would be my best starting point to make actual graphic based games... (not to mention I actually got taught at university how to use flash to a certain extent). The game I decided upon was tetris. I'm sure you're all familiar with the block based puzzle game and might be able to shed some light upon what I am doing right and what I am doing wrong. So, I've firstly made my game screen with a window for all the blocks to come down in.
I've also put some dynamic text place holders ready for when I come to keeping track of how many 'lines' the player has scored, the time and so on in the right hand side of the screen. I have made graphics for the different colour 'building blocks' (just one block of 24x24 in different colours for each shape) and then used the 'building blocks' multiple times to create my shapes (I, J, L, O, S, T, Z). These blocks are called tetrominoes. Now I've come to a point where I need to import these tetrominoes randomly from the library and get them to appear in the middle just off the top of my block screen.
How do I import random objects from a particular folder in my library to the stage in Flash CS5 AS3? After realising a quick solution to my problem was not to be found quickly I then thought about what will happen to this block once it has been imported... Well, in Tetris the block moves slowly down until it hits another block or the bottom of the block screen. I know that I can do something with a detectHit() function. How do I get my block to move down the screen by a set amount of pixels every second or so?
At the bottom I have some leaves there. I want to make a couple different size leaves like that and make them go from left to right at random paths and have it loop. I don't know much about actionscript but is there a way to do this without having to make a bunch of guide paths and doing lots of tweens and rotations?
View 14 Repliesi'm using the an actionscript for random movement that i found here... [URL] but my problem is that i need the object to flip horizontally depending on the direction it is moving... the object that is moving around is a bug, and i need it to face left if it's moving left or face right if it's moving right.
View 1 RepliesI've got 12 MovieClips, which all have specific functions in the movie. Those MC's will appear and dissappear after a few seconds. But what I want is, that those MC's have to appear at random .If all 12 MC's have appeared, the appearance has to be stopped. So for example MovieClip number 4 has to appear just once. So 12 MC's will appear, but everytime when the movie starts, the appearance has an other sequence.What is written above I want to place in an other MC. So there is one MC which 'load' 12 MC's within it
View 2 RepliesI have a main MovieClip in which I have several frame labels, each will eventually have different MovieClips associated with them. First time through I want to play an "intro" MovieClip, which I have placed on the stage at the begining of the main timeline, then at the end of the "intro" Clip, go to the first frame label and play that MovieClip.
The way I was going about it was placing this code in the last frame of the "intro" MovieClip:
Code:
MovieClip(parent).screen_mc.gotoAndPlay("home");
'screen_mc' is the instance name of the Main MovieClip.

Im currently making a game that has one of those old-skool Fallout maps (a world map where you click somewhere and the "you" marker moves there) that im trying to replicate.I already have the scripts ready for map interaction (using onhit here). But i was wondering if someone could help me with a script that works this way:
1. I have a movieclip (the character)
2. When i click somewhere on the map i want this movieclip to move there. Not instantly but moving over the screen to that point where you clicked.
3. I also want there to be passages that when the movieclip hit that movieclip (named hit for example) it stops dead and doesn't move (will be used on the map for mountains and such) and the player has to click somewhere else to move it that path (im assuming this will be something like onhit: hit - speed=0 something but im not a good scripter and it would had to be worked into the script.
4. ok this one is kinda optional but would be great! If it's possible to have it worked in the script that when the clip doesn't move (and is stationary on the map) the movieclip stays on frame 1 but when the movieclip is in motion (and moving across the screen) the movieclip is on frame 2 (and reverts to frame 1 when it's not moving anymore and so no)
I have a movieclip that I want to move down and up.I use a new tween using the Elastic. easeOut property to move the movieclip down over a duration of 2 seconds.But right after it moves down I need to move it right back up so it looks like a uniform animation.I used setInterval(reverse,2000) and reverse contains yoyo();This almost works.Since Elastic slows down the movement of the movieclip at the very end, there seems to be a pause between the movieclip moving down and the movieclip moving up.It does not give the impression that it is 1 tween, which is what I was going for.I tried to set the duration to less than 2 seconds, but then Elastic property is not 'stretchy'.It is too fast and comes to a halt, not elastic, and then the reverse (when the movieclip goes back up) is much faster than when the movieclip goes down.Is it possible to move the movieclip down AND up by using just 1 "new tween" function?

View 1 Replieshow to make the scroll/list menu in 2advanced's portfolio section, it can be found here [URL]
I kinda had a idea on how to make it , by using a mask and movie clip which holds the buttons, and then just use the up and down buttons to move the movie clip up and down, but dnt really know how to really do this.
basically want to know how to move a Movie clip up and down when a up or down button is pressed with restriction to how much i can move it up and down,
I have a movieclip that I am moving behind a mask to achieve a panning effect. I am able to move my movie clip onRollOver and stop onRollOut. So far so good, except that I have no boundaries or margins on my movie clip so when I keep my mouse on my button, my movieclip continues to move indefinitely forever. Can someone please tell me how to set boundaries on the left and right or how to limit the scrolling to an X -1000 and X +1000?

Basically I need to have a cartoon character walking to the right hand side of the screen and then turning around and moving back to the left hand side and so on.
I have some code done but it could be all wrong as I am not the best coder at all, just starting out.
Code:
package classes{
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import classes.RollableChar;
public class MainApp2 extends MovieClip{
//public var theCharacter:MovieClip;
//public var myCarrot:RollableChar;

I'm exploring menu's in flash and I'm currently trying to put together a thumbnail menu where thumbnails are contained in a Parent MovieClip.I want to then be able to move that movieclip along the stage (to the left or right, depending on the keyboard key pressed)..I know I can do this using this code, when the Parent MovieClip
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, myKeyDown);function myKeyDown (e:KeyboardEvent):void{
if (e.keyCode == Keyboard.RIGHT){my_mc.x -=125; }

In my attempt to create a simple Pong-like game, I've encountered a very strange and at times severe visual bug.When I set the ball (A Flash CS 5.5 library MovieClip) in motion moving around the screen at a rather fast speed, I've noticed that sometimes the edges of the ball would be cut-off for a short moment in the direction it is moving.
When it happens, it almost seems like the position of the ball MovieClip is slightly ahead of its own border and thus the part that is outside the border fails to get drawn.
Here's a picture that illustrates how this looks - at least for me:
You can also view the .swf file online here: [URL]
Some technical data:
I've been unsuccessful in capturing the with a screenshot no matter how much I tried. Sometimes I would open the .swf and the bug would be almost non-existent while at other times it was very blatant. I'm using an EnterFrame event function to increment / decrement the x and y position of the MovieClip. I have never encountered any such problem in any Flash app, in this machine or others. Truncating / rounding the x and y values of the MovieClip didn't help. Neither did setting cacheAsBitmap to true.
On the main timeline I've got solar_mc also On the main timeline I've got planet_mc and inside planet_mc I've got pluto_mc.. In pluto_mc. the actionscripts are writen to display text info, change colors, mouseovers, etc... My problem is the actionscript written in pluto_mc makes moon_mc, crib_mc and hale_mc on the main timeline function (changing it's colours, information, etc...). But I need to move moon_mc, crib_mc and hale_mc to solar_mc. When I do so the pluto_mc action script does not work! How can I put moon_mc, crib_mc and hale_mc in to one mc (solar_mc) and still make the actionscript in pluto_mc work? I've used the _root. command in the script pluto_mc..
View 2 RepliesI've boiled this down as simple as I can make it. When I click on the down movie clip (which is inside the MC movieclip) it does indeed move the MC movieclip down 20. However, I need it to also move the "enemy" movieclip down. When I try running this I don't get any compile errors but when I click on the "down" and the MC moves down I get the following error:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.

I'm currently working on a GUI design and for the options, instead of a slider I want a movie clip that fills 5 boxes or empties the boxes when i hit the plus or minus buttons I've made. I created a movie clip called bars which has 6 frames. Then I made an addbar button and a subbar button. I then created a movieclip with all three items inside of it called gauge. I set the actionscript to the gauge movie clip. This is what code I have in currently. When I play the swf the boxes remains empty and will not move through the movie clip of bars like I want.

I have function for moving the movieclip but I would like to add boundary for it. And another thing is that the movieclip contains a textfield for receiving the text input from the user so I have the autoSize=true for the textfield. Then I wonder how to modify the code so that when the movieclip exist the boundary, it couldn't move any more?
