assume i have two Objects overlapping each other, one is text on top, and the other is a MovieClip
ActionScript Code:
myClip.x = myClip.y = 100
myText.x = myText.y = 100
[code]....
the addEventListener for the MovieClip only functions if i am on its "Visible" area, and doesnt work if the mouse is on the text so how can i make it function no matter how many objects are on top of it?
I have for a long time tried to get rods beeing placed side by side without overlapping after dragging. I don't succeed. This side shows that it can work: [URL]. I want my objects beeing placed side by side or over each other, not overlapping and no space between, just like in thos link.
Code:
var mcArray:Array = new Array();
var lastClicked:MovieClip;
function drag() {
this.startDrag();
lastClicked=this;
} function dragEnd() {

I've worked with Flash for about a year now and I'm trying to make a game where you can control an object with the arrow keys and if you touch a certain object (lets say a wall) you go to a frame where it says "You lose".making the actionscript for the object and the wall colliding.
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to create a flash demo for my prof and we want green dots to move randomly across the screen without ever overlapping each other.I saw the kirupa tutorial on random motion which is really good. I'm wondering if I can add something to the code so that the dots won't overlap, (as soon as one touch another they move away) as they move.
View 2 Replieshow to prevent any two objects from overlapping each other each time they are randomly played?
i make them randomly appear using the code below but some of them appear on top of the other.
onClipEvent(load) {
_x=Math.floor(Math.random()*271)+120;
_y=Math.floor(Math.random()*265)+120;
}
I'm working right now on a map generator. I stumbled on a very annoying problem. I'm using the for loop to add the map elements on the stage. But when the "forest" area begins to be to thick all trees begin to overlap.
View 1 RepliesI have a file with a many button instances, the names of which I've put into 2 different arrays. I'm adding an eventListener to each button dynamically using the forEach...in method. I want the buttons in the first array to call a function and the buttons in the second array to call a different function. I'm getting no errors on compilation, but my problem is that buttons in both arrays are calling both functions.
<code>
var btnList:Array = [bRed, bBlue, bPurple, bGold, bGreen];var greenList:Array = [gb1, gb2, gb3, gb4, gb5, gb6, gb7, gb8, gb9, gb10, gb11, gb12, gb13, gb14];

need a logia something like to paint some Objects: simply put some MCs. When the Mcs (are out of the Box range) and neat its easy to colour. see the Zip files attached:
Please see: paint_Non_Overlaping_MC_Works.fla paint_Non_Overlaping_MC_Works.swf When the Movie clips are overlapping or one placed above the other MC the objects are hard to paint. It Recognizes the Obeject as One, the Imported png converted to a MC. Please see: paint_Overlaping_MC_Not_Works.fla paint_Overlaping_MC_Not_Works.swf
Is there a possibility to make this work, like to make the MC Highlight on Mouse over and distinguish the objects when Overlapping? That's to say to colour the MCs when overlapping? What initially came to my mind is when mouse over the MC's to highlight so that we can drop the colour on it. In the ZIp file contains all the as2 codes.
I have 3 buttons slightly overlapping each other, all on one layer. What i'd like to happen, is for whichever button is rolled over with the mouse to show up on top of the other buttons..
View 2 RepliesI'm working on a game where clicking an object causes cartoon animals to appear. The animals stick around and do a little animation for about 5 seconds, before disappearing. I'm having a problem where if I click the object before the animal disappears, another appears on top of it.This is my code:
on (release) {
i = Math.ceil(Math.random()*3);
if (i == 1) {[code]...........
I'm trying to find a way to make it so "on release" is disabled for a set period of time once it executes, enough time to ensure the animal movie clip playing has disappeared.

View 3 RepliesI have a movie clip with hit zones over buttons. It looks like a cam corder and when you roll over them a thumb moves to that button and when you click. The thumb presses on the button. That all works great. I want to put buttons in the main scene over top of these that will change things on the screen when you click it. And get urls of the videos that I have on my website. But when I put the hitzones over other hitzones the ones in back dont work. Is there a way to make them both work or am I going to have to make everything contained in the movie clip? So in short can I have two buttons on top of each other that do two different things?
View 8 RepliesI'm trying to randomly position images on the stage without having the images overlap?
View 3 RepliesThis seems like such an easy thing to do but it's driving me crazy. Sorry if this is a simple question. In a site I am building it is necessary to have a large movieclip overlaid over an image gallery. This movieclip controls scrolling so has a rollover listener attached, but of course the gallery pictures also need to have button actions. I cannot get them both working at the same time. How can I make it so that rolling over a movieclip doesn't disable the rollover for any movieclips underneath it? Here is a very simple example of the problem. Where the two buttons intersect, I want for the rollover to trigger them both: [URL]

View 4 RepliesI'm having some performance issues in certain areas of a flash game Im making.
Here's the situation: I have big movieclip containing a map that can be scrolled and scaled. There are some pannels with a bunch of MC buttons, controls, etc. on the right side of the stage. These are seperate from the map and stay in the same place.
Everything runs fine untill the large map is zoomed in and/or scrolled such that the right side buttons and stuff are overlapping them map. Then the framerate jumps down from a nice smooth 30 fps to about 3 fps while the map is moving. There are no issues with the map moving when they don't overlap.
Now the thing is, is that's there's no real interaction between the buttons and the map. No transparency or anything, in fact I'm perfectly happy with the map dissapearing behind a side pannel. There are only about 3 pannels that the screen drawing routine would have to worry about, as all the buttons rest on top of the pannels, so why is my performance taking such a hit?
(Hmmm. Actually I do have a lot of transparency, but each is on top of a solid background, and none interact with the map.)
I wanted to know how to write As3 so that the sound that I place on a timeline doesn't overlap? Or is it best off the timeline? I've tried putting each song into it's own place on the timeline but there are labels and when a new song plays, the old one continues. If I just have one song on the entire timeline, whenever I move across different labels, the song overlaps.
View 4 RepliesI've created a banner and made the whole area clickable with an invisible button. But there's one small element in that banner I'd like to give a roll over state for extra fun. This element doesn't need a link hooked to it just to change colour when moused over. When I put the invisible button on top, it blocks the element on top the invisible button is not working either. Since it's a banner I have the document set up in as2.

This doesn't seems to be working cause the amount of it checking whether MC is overlapping is about the amount of MC on stage. how to make it keep checking till everything's fine?
I have a weather widget that is flash and expandable. one of the issues i had is when I expand the widget, it wouldn't expand passed the flash container size, so most of the content is cut up. I increased the size of the flash container and that worked. The problem is that the I have another facebook widget that is below the weather widget and that got pushed a lot. I moved the facebook widget up with a negative margin and now they are aligned fine. BUT i can't interact with the facebook widget. and I think the reason is that it is actually behind the flash container. it works fine on ie but i am trying to get it to work on chrome. I have changed the z-index to make the facebook widget on top of the flash, but the flash started to appear behind the facebook now.[URL]...
View 2 RepliesI'm trying to develop a textual analysis program that randomly displays words around the canvas. These words are different sizes.
I've been able to randomize the positions of the words around the screen, but often times, they are overlapping each other. I'm stuck on how to check if the words are overlapping, and if they are, to re-randomize again until the textfield square is in an open spot.
Im sure this has been asked a million times, so forgive me but I cannot seem to find an answer or my search query is wrong. I am using Tweener for animation.
I have 2 MC's on my stage. I have an event listener for my main MC (MOUSE_OVER, MOUSE_OUT) that triggers Tweener to animate another MC on top of the main clip. The problem is that when it overlaps the listener no longer works, and tried to execute the MOUSE_OUT. I understand why its not working, I just cant find a solution. Here is the code and a simple FLA.
ActionScript Code: import caurina.transitions.Tweener;
square.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, RollItIn, false, 0, true);
square.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, RollItOut, false, 0, true);
function RollItIn(evt:MouseEvent):void {

How can I control sound in flash so that:
1) the music starts when the user clicks on a play button but when they click on the play button again while the music is playing, the music DOESN'T overlap?
2) the music doesn't overlap when going back to the homepage where the music first started playing??
I'm currently using the code below but the music overlaps when I press the play button more than once while the music is playing and when I go back to the page where the music started playing...
Code:
var mySound:Sound = new Sound();
var myChannel:SoundChannel = new SoundChannel();
var lastPosition:Number = 0; // pause button
mySound.load(new URLRequest("that_tune.mp3"));

I have not used Flash for around 10 years so am fighting my way back in. For my website about mountain biking I have created a scrolling map withe buttons on in the correct locations that you will click and take you too the relevant page.
My problem is on the mouse over for the buttons text comes out of the side but if there is a button next to it the text comes out under the next button. How do I make it so that its not overlapped by anything. I did think about creating a layer at the top of my flash file and putting all of the text movies in it so that they would not be overlapped. Check out my work so far below, you can see what I mean if you mouse over the button to the bottom left.
