ActionScript 3.0 :: Test If Character Is Still On The Line?
Oct 14, 2009
I'm designing a maze type of game. The character can only walk on a line. I'm trying to test if thecharacter is on the line (land). If he isn't on the line, he isn't supposed to move (i.e. disable the arrows that control him). The easiest way I thought to test this, is to test the color the character is on. (The line is "66CC00" and the rest is "999999").My code:
HTML Code:
var land:Boolean = false;
var bmp:BitmapData = new BitmapData(this.width, this.height, false);

When I trace hexColor it stays on "66CC00" even though my character moves onto "999999".
how i can get these lasers to work in the correct manner. For some reason, 2-3 seconds in the game, the game goes to the next frame. I can't get the second player's fire to stick with him as he travels across the screen. Here's the fla.
if (_root.Limits.Border.hitTest(this._x + xspeed, this._y + yspeed, true))Beginning with (this._x), I do not understand what effect that has on the hit test itself. I understand that the_root.Limits.Border.hitTestcalls a hit test on Border, which resides within the movie clip Limits. What effect is had on the outcome of the hit test by adding in those specific variables, along with the "true" at the end? I'm making a game that of course uses extensive hit test collision detection, and this code is from a sample I've been working on to get my collision detection down pat.
I've got an XML document that contains text.The text is read in and put into a HTML format text box.I want my text to have new line characters.I've tried using <br> hoping this would work in the HTML text, but this doesn't work.Is there a special character code I can use?
I created something that'll allow me to have a character and walk with it, but I did this all in the document class. And because this is going to be more complicated I wanted to move that to a Character class. So I did this:
[code]...
Now the issue is when is on the line in my character class that calls the new Character(); Because when I comment it out, I don't get it anymore.I get this error: Error: Error #2136: The SWF file ..../vs.swf contains invalid data.at VelunaStory()I don't think it's anything inside the Character class because I tried commenting out all the functionality so it's just a shell of a class and I still get this error.
I want to use a non-standard font on the web in a various combinations of font-color and font-size without having to assign individual configs for each. So far sIFR seems to pick up font-size no problem. but not font color, so I am working on a work around.
The problem I am running into: sIFR is breaking text to the next line without a linebreak <BR> being present.
[Code]...
For the sake of the project I am working on, it looks like setting the standard to block level elements only with font-sizes of 18px and above will be the route taken to keep from holding it up further, but I still have personal interest and would like to pursue understanding sIFR and the line breaking further.
I am new to Stack Overflow and am concerned this may be an 'extended discussion' which the FAQ says is beyond the scope of this site.
Using AS2, how can I have a character movie clip walk along a line/curve without falling through it? By this I mean the character could say, walk over a hill whilst jumping (falling back down due to gravity physics) but would not fall through the curve that represents the hill.An example of this would be BMX star or BMX backflips and any game that is a side-on view of a character walking.
So I have a simple game I'm making where you are a box shaped character and you have basic movement around the screen. I know how to make walls and the coding but I would like to make a wall that the character can't go through on either of the 4 sides or even a squiggly line that doesn't have a definite shape. I used this coding:
[Code]...
And that does kind of work, but it's not stable (works better with one side only). Sometimes one side of the wall, the character will still be able to go through. The tool I'm using to make the wall is a rectangle tool if that makes any difference. And I'm on actionscipt 2.0 on adobe flash cs4.
I'm trying to test a custom Flex 4 skinnable component, using the FlexUnit UIImpersonator class. If I run my tests from a FlashBuilder Spark only project everything works fine. If I try to test from a project with the mx component set on the classpath I get a "getElementIndex not available in non Flex 4 projects" error.Can I unit test spark components in FlexUnits visual test environment while still having the mx component set on the classpath?
UIImpersonator delegates it's method calls to a "testEnvironment".The implementation used for this "testEnvironment" is decided by the VisualTest EnvironmentBuilder class and the FlexEnvironmentBuilder class. If the FlexEnvironmentBuilder class can find the "mx.core.Container" on the classpath it returns a MX environment, else a Spark environment. Only the spark environment has valid implementations for Flex 4 relevant method calls on the UIImpersonator - like the addElement method.
My buttons only work when I click on them on the stage while having the "enable simple buttons" option on. They do not work if I try to "test movie," "test scene" and publish it to a SWF. Nothing responds whenever I am in these modes. I am using Adobe Flash Professional CS5 Actionscript 2.0.
i have a movie that has worked fine in past during Html test but ive been doing some dubugging using the flash test latly and it runs fine here but when i go back and try to test in Html mode no errors come just the movie never fully starts (starts up about as much as if there was an error).
I have a MovieClip with the instance name ball and another one called line. I want to test if "ball" touches "line". I got a class called HitLine and the class Ball extends HitLine. So the code for the class Ball is just:
[Code]...
I tried this in the class HitLine but it doesnt work: Actionscript Code: // checks if ball hits lineif(this.hitTestObject(line)){doSomething();} my guess is that the "line" is wrong.. but how do I have to change this? My objects (line and ball) are already on the stage and there i gave them an instance name. so I dont create them in the class... so my problem is: how do i use line as an object in the class...because i get an error that says: 1120: Access of undefined property line
I have a 9 frames image of a character.In other language generally i used to make character animation by looping the array consisting of different frames and drawing each frame when pressing key.What i want to do is when i press left or right key, i want to draw each frame that makes character movement and update x coordinates of frames, and it will appear as character is moving.
the "" is used to add new line to a string...I want to use "" just as it is, I want flash not to intepret that equals to a new line,how this could be accomplished??note: I must use For example:
I have two scenes in my flash file and in scene 1, first button takes you to frame 2 where movie clip is -works
on (release) { gotoAndStop("scene1",2); } second button takes you to frame 3
but on scene 2 that performs same function as scene 1, the first button
on(press){ gotoAndStop("scene2",2); }
instead of going to frame 2 goes to frame 3. and the second button goes correctly to frame 3.that happens when i test scene! when i test movie all buttons work properly.
i was wondering if any of you out there could tell me how it is possible to make a movieclip of a character and when the character is dragged about the screen by the curser, how do you make the characters arms and legs swing about in a realistic fashion.
In FlexUnit 1 it is possible to access the name of the currently-running test using the TestCase.getName() method because all tests subclass TestCase. In FlexUnit 4, however, there's no base class for tests; the tests are identified by annotations. So, how can I replicate the getName() functionality in FlexUnit 4?
I would like my character to move as if he was drunk I am unsure how to do that I am using the keyboard for his movement. I also have a character that moves at random I would like the drunk moving character to be able to catch this character and play a scene from within the drunk characters movie clip but I want this character to try and escape the idea is the drunk character gets points for how long he is able to hang on to this character
I'm trying to work out how to create a simple demo that works as follows: A ball falls from the top of the stage.Player is able to draw a line anywhere on the stage. The ball will bounce/roll along the line such that the player can guide it at will. I don't think the coordinate rotation will be a problem for me but I can't figure out how to transform a line drawn by the player into a hit detectable sprite -- or realkly any way that I can get those line coordinates into my coordinate rotation routine. To keep it simple, I'm just working on the first part of the problem, getting the line to where I can hit test or know its position.Here is my code so far:
in Flash CS4 I have static text like: Line1 and line2 It's in 9 point Arial Regular as a device font. If I set the line spacing below 3.9 the second line dissappears from the compiled SWF file. It still shows in the FLA file. The same thing happens at 6pt but NOT at 5pt or less.
Is it possible to load a text file using line breaks as a delimeter rather than having a &var= at the beginning of each line? Like by a for instance? I have a text file with about 1000 lines that I need to load/display.
I'm in the process of teaching myself the components of the CS4 Design Premium package using the Adobe Classroom in a Book series. I'm currently going through the Flash CIAB and i've started using the pen tool. The task involves creating a wave like design across the stage. Whilst this in itself is simple, the final instruction is to click on the first anchor point to close the shape. In the illustration, the closed shape seems to automatically extend around the stage, however when I click on the first anchor point, the line automatically connects between the two points in a straight line.
Am I doing something wrong? The next step is to fill this area, but with the straight line effect that I am getting, this becomes impossible. I should point out that the instruction states that the pen tool line should extend off the stage. I have done this, but even then on clicking on the first anchor point the shape is closed incorrectly.
I am trying to dispatch an event but not sure when I should do it to get the right results. The first event "submitClicked" is in the right spot and works great. However, the second event "dataReady" seems like it might be a problem. I need it to be dispatched after this.compiledFormData is set.Does AS3 wait for each line of code in a function to be executed before moving on to the next line?
// -------------------------------------------------------------------- public function submitForm() {
I am using Flex 4 and AS3 and I am trying to make it so that the user can draw a freehand line with the cursor - I have this part done.However, I also need the line to be a dashed line instead of one solid line like it is now. below is my code I am using. I have found some examples on how to do this, but they are all for straight lines, not for a freehand line.
When a Dynamic Multiple line text field is used in Flash CS3, it has a very annoying feature that auto inserts a line break at the end of inserted text. It also auto inserts a line break if no text is entered too.
I'm having a problem with this because the text is being saved from flash to a text file on the desktop. With every multi-line text field there's a nasty looking line break.
Any way of "turning off" this auto-line-break-at-the-end feature?
I need to replace multiple contiguous new line/line feed characters in flex with a single new line character.
Example:
The string
"My name is blah blah
My name is blah "
Should be converted to
"My name is blah blah My name is blah "
Hope the example makes it easier to understand.
I am using a component to render it.
I guess using regex would be the easiest way to do this, but still it would be great if people can point me out to references/examples to get this done with ease.
