I have set up a system that spawns barriers for the player to dodge but it appears the functions won't trigger properly from within "if" statements. I've put nots on my code to guide you through what is going on.

does anyone know how to get this working?i cant seem to understand it, and the source file download link is broken
View 1 RepliesI have a simple game going now with a character running forward and I have to jump and duck under barriers. I was able to make it all work so that one of my three random barriers I made comes at a random time at you. However, I don't know how to make it so that multiple barriers come at you. I feel I need some sort of loop. How should I alter the code I have already? This is on one of the barrier moveclips, the first part sets the platform and position to come at you and the second part moves that part towards you. P.s. this is in cs4.

Basically, I have a border(line) at the top of the stage so that whenever my ship's missile comes in contact with this line, it is removed and a rebound missile clip is attached.Here is the missile code:
Actionscript Code:[code].....The problem is that the rebound missile always spawns at left of the stage, not wherever the ship missile was removed.I'm not sure if I should attach the fla, action script files, swf etc. to the thread. Also, my flash version is CS5.
I am looking to deploy the jw player site-wide to replace our existing wowza player (with 100+ movies) and have run into the problem that in wowza the 'file' flash var was called 'movieName'.Asside from touching every html document, is there any way to make the 'file' flash var reference our existing 'movieName' flash var using actionscript?

View 2 RepliesDoes anyone know if adobe flash player cache data is available to other users on a system? For example: A user logs onto Windows XP, then uses my adobe flex application... and in the process of doing so downloads the signed flex lib... He then decides to mow the lawn and log off. At about 3pm the same day, his Mum can't hear the TV over the sound of the mower, so she decides to log in using a different XP user account. She proceeds to use the very same flex application. Does she also need to download the flex lib again, or would the data already be cached in the flash player?

The problem is that i am using characters like ä,ö,ü,ß and this isn't well displayed. I tried System.useCodePage but the compiler complains about : 1120: Access of undefined property 'System'. It doesnt matter if I tried this on the first line of the 'Action' in the first scene or in the first line of the first .as file i am loading. (btw i am only working with .as file and not in the timeline). When i am importing flash.System.* the compiler complains he dont know useCodePage.

View 2 RepliesI have two mp4 video files on webserver, i wanted to play them in flash player(flv player) on my asp.net page, but i couldn't be able to play them, i also tried to play them in quick time player the same prob occured. but i waz giving the accurate path, there were no spaces in mp4 file names etc. Does it need to have mp4 player(or codec etc) installed on webserver?
I have also some wmv files on that server , and i am playing perfectly using silver light player, and media player object on my website.
I am trying to make the SIMPLEST POSSIBLE MP# player using the player component preinstalled in flash.It is very simple, the code is as follows:
Code:
on (release) {
player.contentPath ="Song.mp3"
player.play()
}
("player" is the mp3 component)
This works if I want a single track to be selected and played.Now, I need it to AUTOMATICALLY LOAD THE NEXT TRACK, which I will input in the code.I am thinking something like this:
Code:
player.onSoundComplete = function() {
player.contentPath ="Song.mp3"
player.play()
};
But this is not working.
PS: I know an XML file would be the best here, but I don't want to use it. I just want to enter the next track's code inside the swf.
I have a game that needs to send the number of points a player is awarding to another player to a MySQL database on the same server. This game is part of my psych MSc dissertation, and I've gotten a lot of help on this bit from my department techie who knows php and MySQL well. However, he has absolutely no experience with Flash or Actionscript. He's gotten the php bit working so that it does send data to the right table in the database when it's supposed to using dummy variables, but when we try to test it with the actual .swf thats supposed to be doing the sending, nothing happens. We're pretty sure this means theres something wrong with the actionscript, but we don't know where.

View 1 RepliesI am trying to put together a simple game and have been doing really well until I decided I am going to have to create a new class to handle enemies.What I have so far is a player walking around on random terrains and I am up to the point where I have placed x amount of enemies on stage at appropriate times. I have written their class which will hopefully eventually handle their behavior and it outputs simple trace("BOO!").
Where I face the problem is that I obviously would like to make these enemies follow the player to attack. But when I try to access the .x or .y attributes of the player, it throws an error: 'call to a possibly undefined property with static type Class'?I have tried accessing the .x using the following ways (where badger is my player instance and Main is my class definition within the properties of the FLA):
Main.badger.x
Main(root).badger.x
Stage.badger.x
I have also tried to access other vars and still nope..My class code is this:
Code:
package
{
import flash.display.MovieClip
import flash.display.Stage

I was re-using some old actionscript in a new fla. For some reason my scrollbar script didn't work correctly. After some debugging I found out the the maxscroll value was being returned as 2. Strange when there is only two lines of text in a 400px high textfield.
I published the same fla for flash player 7 in stead of 9 and the problem was gone??? Tried in 8 and there it was again. So something went wrong between Flash player 7 and 8, but what? Is this a known bug and are there any work arounds?
I want to dynamically load .swf file in a player(like FLV player of as3) in as3.When I shall click on an image the corresponding video will be played on the player on right side(like you tube).

View 3 RepliesWhen I use IK system to build a man and move it to perform poping, I found the more poses I gave to it the more its arms and legs would drift away. I didn't use alt and mouse to move the limbs. I only use my mouse to pose it. But WHY after I finished some poses, the limbs of the figure would get loosened?What was worse, If i adjusted those limbs(by alt and left click-drag) to fix the drift, the poses I have finished would be messed. So, what should I do?
View 3 RepliesI've recently implemented in my engine is freeing the RAM for a level.It's something that's pretty essential seeing as I'll have thousands of polygons per level, and a pretty large amount of textures too per level, with an average of around 150 to 200 megs of RAM being used.This obviously needs to be cleared before the next level is loaded.The process is pretty simple really, just nullify all references to everything.On the offline SA player, this works perfectly. After pressing the clear button you see the RAM usage burning down, before it snaps to around 3.7.Online it simply doesn't work. Firefox's RAM usage on the plugin container basically doesn't change, but even Flash's internal reading of the RAM usage only changes a bit. It gets reduced by a couple of megs.URL...Press C to clear the engine. The RAM usage goes down by like a meg, to 10.3, which is hugely different to how much RAM is free'd on the SA player.I've tested it on Firefox and IE, the behaviour is the same on both.
View 14 RepliesI'm making a sort of interactive graphic novel and was wondering how would I implement some sort of inventory system. Btw, I'm using Actionscript 2.0
----INVENTORY SYSTEM 001----
You see, I would like the ending screen to show a summary of what the player has done in the game.And certain points in the game would add certain 'items' into the inventory which will in turn affect what is displayed in the summary screen.The 'items' here being words or phrases.eg:
Quote:
You _______ with the _______ and proceeded to _______. But you _______.
For example, if the player chooses Path A, summary screen will show: eg:
Quote: You stabbed the unicorn with the shark fin and proceeded to shag your mistress. But you ate a pecan pie.But if the player chooses Path B, the summary screen will instead show eg:
Quote: You stabbed the tree with the shark fin and proceeded to shag the corned beef. But you smashed a watermelon and caused a civil war.
----INVENTORY SYSTEM 002----
I think with a few modifications, this inventory system could also be used to affect the outcome of the movie depending on what item the player currently owns? Please enlighten me if this system is feasible.
The player is given a choice to pick up a spoon or a fork in the beginning of the game.The player is later faced with a soup crisis. If the player has previously picked up a spoon, the soup can be consumed. Otherwise, the soup is left well alone.
is System.gc() recognized in AIR 3 for iOS ? Or am I putting on a line a code that's just for pasterity ? I have made every effort to dispose(),null and removeEventListener any unused Object, hence to be able to tell the Garbbage Collector to "go ahead" is a really awesome feature.

View 5 RepliesI'm building image processing or mapping system kinda like google map except we have our own HD images so i'm not sure what is the best way to do this in .NET here is what im trying to do Mapping web application build in .NET i've High resolution images , the user first load the selected area a full scaled image should be loaded 100% (original image) then he Zoom to the area he want, then he can move around this area almost like google map
1.user select area - full scaled image loaded
2.user zoom to random area - (i will receive some values for X, Y, etc.. in query string then i will extract these values and zoom/return the image based on these values)
So i'm not sure what is the ideal solution for this is it just zoom/re-size image based on the vales received from the user, or its more complicated than that?
I'm trying to use System.setClipboard.This copies text to the clipboard.My problem is that it doesn't copy the newline character.I've tried using and but it still doesn't work.
Here is some sample code I'm using:
PHP Code:
myText.text = "Kirupa Website" + newline + "Flash Samples" + newline "Flash Forums"; System.setClipboard(myText.text);
I've also tried having 2 newline characters to seperate the text... but the same results happens.There is no paste function in Flash apparently for security reasons...So to test... you have to use something like Notepad or any other text editor.
I'm making a dialogue based flash game.When a player clicks the right response I want them to gain/lose points.What is the best way to accomplish this?I'm in need of correct code/script because the way I'm doing things now doesn't work.
The buttons that allow for a gain/loss of points are inside of movie clips and are also on different layers, so I thought using a global variable would allow for editing it anywhere,but when I click the buttons that //should// make the player lose or win points, the value does not change, either that or I get a "NaN" in my dynamic text box.
Initiated variable;
_global.love = 0
The code I'm using right now;
on (release) { _root.love += 5;
}
the variable I set the dynamic text box too;
