I'm trying to understand Array and For Loops and they started to make sense. I have this code that generates 100 drops and moves them down but I would like to populate more and more move them down and delete them after crossing the stage (Y direction)..
[AS]var rainDropArray = new Array();
for(var i:int=0; i<100; i++) {
var rainDrop:RainDrop = new RainDrop();
rainDrop.x = Math.random() * 550;

I am making a menu that consists of 6 different rollover buttons, these3 buttons sit on a path where the graphics look like a road. What I need to do is have an mc of a car that moves along the road. When the car is at button 1, and you mouseover button 2, the car moves towards button 2, then when you mouseover button 3, the car moves towards button 3 etc., all while the car stays on the road (path) that it sits on - so not like a mouse follow but constrained to the path. I also need the car to go in reverse, so if the car is at button 4, and you mouseover button 3, the car will move towards it.
View 3 RepliesI've seen couple of websites [URL]...in these websites the text & the objects move with the mouse moves. I just wanna know how to move the objects with mouse movement or you can say how to make an object follow the mouse (left-right-up-down)
P.S. In the 2nd website there's a 3d character also which I don't have in my project so there's nothing to worry about 3d in flash. I've just couple of images & text

I wonder if there is away to move all objects currently on the stage at the same time without addressing each of them and regardless what obects which are on the Stage. Something along with Stage.y=-50 I know this wont work but is there a way?

View 13 RepliesOn the main time line I've got movie clip called Z and also n the main timeline I've got another movie clip called B. Inside B I've got a movie clip called C. My problem is - the actionscript written in C makes few objects in the main timeline function (changing colors, displaying notes, input text linked with dynamic text, etc...). I need to move all those objects in to ONE MC in the main timeline (changing colors, displaying notes, input text linked with dynamic text, etc...). But when I move it in to a single MC it wont function! simply the actionscripts won't work!! What should I do to make all those objects in to one mc and still make the actionscript written in C work? p.s. - I've used the _root. command in C.

How do I start to program with 3 objects on my page:
"logo_mc", "menu_mc" and "container_mc".
I'd like to put them on correct order when the stages grow (it depends of wich user's screen).
But how does it work? With 3 objects, I mean resize logo, the container and the menu..

View 4 RepliesAlright so... I really don't know the best way to approach this. I had a LOT of code that I thought could be generalized into a function. I don't know how to explian it... here is the code:i attached it...I know it's a lot of code... I just... I don't know what to do with it anymore! When it was in a bunch of small functions, it worked (sort of) just seemed reallly messy and annoyed me.Oh btw its causing the hero to jsut go to 0,0 and then a hit symbol appears there, and then nothing happens, the hit doesnt even dissappear.

View 1 RepliesI am working on a Flash photo project where a small image is shown with a square that follows the mouse. Below will be a larger image that moves with the mouse simulating a larger view of what is under the mouse pointer. Though I am making progress with this, I am having problems getting the two pictures to sync up.I am currently using Flash Pro CS5, but have been saving as a CS4 project in case I have to work in it later. I don't know if that makes a different in actionscript 3.0, but I thought I'd include it anyway.I tried to attach my file, but the 300Kb limit stopped me. Here is the code I am using so far though.

As the title says, need best way to move objects in game. Always used x and y increments. Read about tweenlite and use it, very easy. So which do I use taking into account that these games can be ported to mobiles ie: which is more optimized. It's a platform type game. I will have a. A little girl that walks and climbs
b. Little platforms that slide from side to side - you have to jump on them
c. The little girl will jump
d. Little baddies will fly around the screen.
ALSO, as the girl jumps I would like it to look natural Gravity as she falls down The correct increment on x and y as she jumps. Shouldn't their be an actionscript 3 games forum
Here is my code:
function createEnemy(event:TimerEvent):void {
var enemyAppear = new MovieClip;
enemyAppear = new Enemy();
enemyAppear.x = Math.random()*stage.stageWidth;
enemyAppear.y = 285;
[Code] .....
What I am trying to do is spawn a enemy to stage and when it appears on the stage I would like it to move across the stage a certain distance.
Visual Example:
O = enemy, X = original position, Y = new position
O (Spawns @ Location X) X ---------------------------------------------------------> Y
( Moved from location X to Location Y)
if there is an option to refer to a layer as a named object. so if I have a layer named 'myLayer' I can to control about the alpha amount, for instance, of all the objects (symbols, movieclips etc.) that inside this layer or to move all those objects together as a one unit by some pixels.
View 5 RepliesIve probably ran into some code like this before. just cant remember where. I have 2 display objects on my stage. One is rotating and the other is positioned 90 degrees from the rotating object. As the object rotates, the other object adjusts its x and y positioning from the rotating object..
If this doesnt make sense, then let me explain what I am trying to do. I have a spaceship in my flash game. this ship has 2 torrets siting on the left and right wing. as the ship turns, the torrets need to remain on the wings.
I'm working on a game right now where I'm going to have paths dynamically built by the user for multiple AI objects to "walk" along. I'll be detecting/redrawing the path only on user input but I'm still debating over the fastest possible method to update the movement of many AI objects "walking" along/up/down the given path. Think for example of pac man, but the level is dynamic. Right now I'm leaning toward building the enemies in a linked list of final classes and looping through the linked list calling a function in each of the AI objects to plot the next move along the path.
View 1 RepliesBasically after adding an object on stage (using actionscript), it will be situated at a random rotation angle using:
this._rotation = Math.random()* 360;
After that, I want my object to move in the direction that it is facing, (using onEnterFrame?). How do I do that?
got past the last problem i had. now i have a series of bitmaps stored in an array... actual bitmap data, not external image references..
View 1 RepliesI'm creating a simple game and I need to move objects down the y-axis from the top of the screen to the bottom.I want one object specifically to randomly appear and then exit the screen. I'm using a random number generator to test against and call the object to the screen and to move from top to bottom when the random number is greater than 950.The problem is that when the random number generator, generates two numbers in a row over 950 the objects skips back to the top.The animation is nested within the mc. I tried animating it with as3 but it jumps down the screen and doesn't look like a smooth animation.Is their a way that I can track the progress of the mc animation and use an && conditional to only play the animation when it's on, say frame one of the animation?What I want is to say if the movie clip is at frame one(stopped) and the random number is greater than 950 play the clip. If the clip is begin played not at frame one. Don't replay it.[code]
