I have a problem with the rotating cube tutorial (link below):
[URL]
I'm trying to give an action to each face of the cube. I would like to make it a menu with 6 buttons (one per face)I want to launch a movieclip each time i press a face.
How would I go about creating a function where, when the space bar is pressed and held down it creates a continual line (that flows until you release the space bar)
I have a var defined and that is colour var colour = 0; and I want to increase var everytime you press space so I have an invisible button with this code in it
on (keyPress "<Space>") { colour+1; }
This is so that I can advance in a movieclip. I have the code for that here:
onEnterFrame; { if (colour == 1) { head.gotoAndStop(1); }
I am currently working on a new game and I need help on this part. It is probably simple to do but I am a noob. Basically I am making a window cleaning game and I have set it up so that the dirt slowly dissapears through the frames. What I need to know is how to I script it so that each time I press space it jumps to each frame.
e.g hit space jump to frame 2 press again jumps to next frame.I know How to set up the key press and know space is 32..
I am just testing some stuff, and everytime the space key is pressed I want one bullet to come out, however righty now you can just hold down space and it keeps firing...here's the code i used : on (keyPress "<Space>") { i = i+1; duplicateMovieClip(_root.bullet, "bullet"+i, i); }
We have created a standalone exe (flash with windows/mac "projector") file, and have it set to autolaunch when a cd is inserted, but would like for it to launch in full screen mode
I have a swf file (a flash game). I want to run some script to open it in full-screen mode. I'm not attached to any browser, but I do run Linux, so a bash, or generic answer is what I'm looking for. I'm also open to building a lite browser application if need-be.
The problem is: when the game starts, "SPACE BAR" is working fine and changes the game from day to night. When the game ends and I press restart, the SPACE key is not working. On the third time it works, on the fourth not and it follows that way. Every second time that I play the game, the SPACE key doesn't work.
The game initializes the player and sends him as a parameter a stage object and the player listens for KEY_UP.When I press restart, the game runs the init() function again.Below there are the Game.as and Player.as classes.
I need to display a "What's new in version x.x" Dialog with a checkbox to allow users to not show the dialog on future launches. Can anyone help me by telling me what I need to look up in the api, or possibly an example?
I'm using AS2 and fps120.I'm creating a tetris game, but I encountered a problem: I made a function which makes the block go directly to the bottom on the press of "space".I used
if(Key.isDown(Key.SPACE)){ ... }
But when I pressed space, the blocks stacked up immediately. It's because after I press space, another block apears immediately and goes to the bottom immediately, and keeps going until I release spade. It isn't a problem if I use lower fps, but my fps is 120, which means even I release space as quickly as I could, at least six blocks would stack up. I want to know is there anyway to detect the releasing of "space" or a detection which only detects on the instant I press, instead of when the key is down.
I'm trying to make my platform game character shoot a gun, my character and gun are one movieclip and the bullet is another. The bullet mc starts on a blank frame with a stop() function, when I press the space bar the bullet mc plays from frame 2 which is a motion tween of the bullet quickly moving across the page. I've set the bullet's y and x values relative to the character mc so that the bullet always comes from the gun.
My issue is that if I press the space bar a bullet will fly out of the gun (great!) but if I press the space bar again, the first bullet disappears and the bullet animation starts again. I want to be able to shoot a new bullet every time I press the space bar without effecting the bullets that have already been shot.
I have an FLV player that I have programmed in AS3. The player goes into fullscreen when you press a button. I have an event listener on the button that changes the stage mode to FULL SCREEN. This act in turn is detected with an event listener on the stage that detects an event.RESIZE. This all works fine. When you click the button in normal mode I go to full screen mode and vice versa. More importantly the button changes (i.e. I line another button in the place of the previous button using coordinates) in full screen and move it off screen in normal screen so I have a "go full screen" icon button in normal mode and a "back to normal mode" icon on full screen.
MY PROBLEM is... Using the button to go into full screen mode changes the button to the 'close full screen' icon as expected. If I use the close full screen button in full screen mode it changes back. All perfect. My problem however is if I exit the full screen mode using the escape key the button does not change back so I am guessing the event handler is not triggered. Is there a way to detect the event of exiting full screen mode using the escape key rather than a button? The event.RESIZE on the stage does not seem to do it.
this works fine, just wondering if anyone has another way to handle it. it seems excessive to have 4 handlers for touch input, but i cant figure out any other way.
TOUCH_OVER and TOUCH_OUT check a switch statement to enable/disable buttons within buttonContainer.
TOUCH_BEGIN and TOUCH_END are used to store points and get a "swipe angle" (only if TOUCH_END is not over a button)
my only problem is i started having glitch's i think becuase so many listeners including: ORIENTATION_CHANGE, KeyboardEvents, Event.DEACTIVATE
this is why i ask if perhaps im missing someway to simplify the touch input listeners
I'm trying to get to a situation in which only if both 2 things are correct then do this and if only one of them is correct, do different thing. I have a flash video player. I want to tell a button that if on press the the video is in normal screen mode then gotoAndStop(2). But if the video is in full screen and the frame on root is frame 1 then gotoAndStop 2. I tried this but there is something missing:
So I read through Kirupa's XML/Flash thumbnail gallery tutorial and have since modified some of its actionscripting to display my online design portfolio. How do I make it so that 'LAUNCH PROJECT' is a link? Here is the modified Actionscripting (I have one of each for the 3 sections):
Code: function loadXML(loaded) { if (loaded) { xmlNode = this.firstChild;[code]....
As you can see at the bottom of the actionscript, I added a gotoURL action, hoping that simply by making <launch> read <launch action="gotoURL" variables="http:url...> that it would become a link. I, however, have had no such luck. Perhaps I have to add something more. How do I make it so that <launch></launch> has the ability to link to an URL?
I have a problem when I making a game Flash with action script 3,. I want tomake my character move when the key helding and I want my character attackwith one tab press either
I have text field which is 0 by default (score_txt)Two buttons +1 and -1 (plus_btn and minus_btn) When I press +1 text increases by one, and when i press -1 it decreses
i have an object that i want to drag and drop with the same event.Something like on press start drag and on press again stop drag. I'm sure it's pretty simple with and if and else statment but i can't find how to do that...The best i have done so far was this:
I want to launch another app, in a separate window - like Excel or something . I can predict a hard coded path to it - like "c:myappapp.exe". Can AS do this?
I was wondering if there was a way to launch an external .swf from within the playing .swf?
I don't want the other swf to be inside of the currently playing one (like with the UILoader, I want it to be running as a completely separate instance of flash.
I've been developing a Flash application that will be running on a touch screen monitor installed in a hospital. The touch screen is run by a Windows machine. I'm afraid I don't know much about the Windows world. I'd like to have my Flash application launch in Flash Player every time the cpu is rebooted so the client never has to worry about manually doing it.
I'm getting a PreloadSwf when launching my flash application in my browser.
The error message is: PreloadSwf paths must be local trusted: [bogus_path]
It's referencing a file that doesn't exist in a directory that doesn't exist. I've seen some posts on the web about how to configure PreloadSwf via mm.cfg, but my mm.cfg doesn't reference any path (just sets log levels).
How do I tell Flash Player to skip this preloadswf so I can launch my app?
