ActionScript 3.0 :: Unlimited Movieclip Object Stack And Drag?
Apr 20, 2010
new to actionscript and im currently building a webpage. inside the page im going to run a simple flash application but im struggling some with a certain part of the code. basically i want a unlimited deck of cards. and i want to be able to drag the cards all over the screen. i have the dragging code down, but i can figure out how to make an unlimited amount of movieclip objects in a stack. this is what i have now
reset_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, resetbuttonClicked);
function resetbuttonClicked(event:MouseEvent):void
{
I Have the drag and drop working where you drag a text movieclip onto a picture of an object movieclip but having some problems. I know its something to do with the hitTest function but when i drop the word "cow" onto the picture of a dog it actually says this is correct by displaying the word cow above the picture of the dog when instead it shouldnt allow me to drop the text onto the picture which doesnt match.
Basically i need to know how to seperate the drag hitTest function for the DogPic/DogText so that it has its own function to detect a hit. At the moment you can see in the below code I have 1 hittest fucntion detecting both collisions when they need seperate functions I tried making a seperate function for each but it didnt work
I am creating a card game everything is fine but I am not able to create a stack of cards as follows: If I have 4 cards that are represented in an array such as 4,5,6,7 of Spades then I want the card with the least priority to be placed on top and the highest priority card placed behind the first one.
I have been working with a very simple tutorial over at [URL], where you drag objects onto a target movieClip. My question is this, how do you target a movieClip inside a movie clip? What I have are 4 color squares that I want to drag and drop onto a pattern_mc. I put the target mc's with in the pattern_mc. In the tutorial the target mc's are not in a movie clip. I put my target mc's in a movieClip because I want to use the pattern_mc as a material.
I'm looking to take an object that contains String and Integer context and that has pushed upon a Stack and pop those specific contents into a display that the user can see. The display consists of two textareas and a label.I can't figure out how to access the individual parts of the Object to display them though..[code]
I have this enter_frame listener to make my Container MovieClip rotate on a 3D environment in relation to the position of the mouse.
PHP Code:
addEventListener( Event.ENTER_FRAME, loop ); private function loop( e:Event ):void { var distx:Number = mouseX / stage.stageWidth;
[Code]....
One of the MovieClips I load into that "ctt" container has some scrollable content. I've traced both the CLICK and MOUSE_DOWN events on the Dragger of the scrollbar and it's active, it receives the click and mouse_down events. The problem is that it doesn't drag.
I know that the scrollbar works because if I remove the loop enter_frame event I showed before it works perfectly, it just doesn't rotate on a 3D environment as I wanted it to.
why the dragger doesn't drag when that ENTER_FRAME event like that is being used?
I have a function that states when movieclip1 is dragged and hits a line then it stops the drag, however it seems to stop the entire drag function in the swf on the other movieclips even though they arent called in the function.[code]
I am developing a drag and drop functionality and take a JPEG screen shot of droped objects. my problem is. when i drag and drop an object the object jumps off some distance.. i am unable to clear tat.. Below is my application.as file
I am trying to duplicate a movieclip unlimited times. Right now it will play when it is rolled over one time and then it will duplicate for the second rollover, but that is it. I need it to keep duplicating every time it is rolled over.
I need to know how you drag an object into another object and when the click is released it goes to another frame, and if you release not touching the other object the draggable object will go back to the place it started in
i have this movieclip that needs to load many times but only if its called.here is the xml example why it needs to load many times.Url...if a user post a comment it inserts to database via mysql.and then get pulled back via xml.I have upload the fla file to let you see what it does but the main clip needs to load every comment. but it loads one i need to loop it some how.[code]
Recently I've been planning out how I would run a game with an environment/map that is capable of unlimited dimensions (unlimited being a loose terms as there's obviously limitations on how much data can be stored in memory, etc). I've achieved this using a "grid" that contains level data stored as a String that can be converted to a 2D Array that would represent objects and their properties.Here's an example of two objects stored as a String:
The "grid" is a 3D Array, of which the contents would represent the x/y coordinate of the grid cell. The grid cells would be, say, 600x600.An example of this "grid" Array would be as follows:
var grid:Array = [[["leveldata: 0,0"],["leveldata 0,1"]], [["leveldata: 1,0"],["leveldata 1,1"]]];
The environment will handle loading a grid square and it's 8 surrounding squares based on a given point. ie the position of the Player. It would have a function along the lines of
function loadCells(xp:int, yp:int):void
This would also handle the unloading of the previously loaded cells that are no longer close enough to be required. In the unload process, the data at grid[x][y] would be overwritten with the new data, which is created by looping through the objects in that cell and appending each new set of data to the grid cell data.works fine in terms of when you move in a direction, cells are unloaded/saved and new cells are loaded. The problem is this:
Say this is a large city infested by zombies. If you walk three grid squares in any direction and return, everything is as you left it. I'm struggling to find a way to at least simulate all objects still moving around and doing their thing. It looks silly when you for example throw a grenade, walk away, return and the grenade still hasn't detonated.
I've considered storing a timestamp on each object when I unload the level, and when it's initialized there's a loop that runs it's "step" function amount of times. Problem here is obviously that when you come back 5 minutes later, 20 zombies are going to try and step 248932489 times and the game will crash.
I'm loading in an unlimited number of images through XML. I've got it so that it creates an MC for each image and adds each image to it. I need to position them into 2 coloumns and an unlimited number of rows.. so like :
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 .. etc
You'll see from my AS below i've got the code to position them along side each other, i just need the MCs to move down a row every 2..[code]My maths brain is about to explode so could anyone enlighten me as to the best way to do this?
function a( param:* , ... args ):void ; a.length // 1 flash.utils.sdescribeType(a); //return me informations only about first parameter , nothing about '... args'.
edit: avmplus.describeTypeJSON didnt too. So , is there any other way to check for unlimited arguments than try{} block and push lot of params ?
wanted to know does action script work on Linux or windows what is the best platform to choose for integration. I have signed up for two unlimited hosting accounts, with [URL]..
As a personal project, I'm working on a language-learning flash game.I'm looking at the information I'll need to store in various XML documents.I'm implementing a 'history' feature whereby, for any given word in the database, for any given user, a comprehensive history of data is stored. With this data, I can generate all sorts of fancy graphs to track any given user's progress.For example:You have been asked the word 'cat' 10 times. From data stored in the XML document, the game generates a graph of the time it took to answer each of those 10 times. (So in a perfect world, you see a nice downward curve. Congrats.)My question is how to organise the XML document (if that's the way to go with this) so that it is as efficient as possible.Right now, I can only see the brute force approach: have a limited number of predefined history states (say 99), and write data to these each time 'cat' comes up. Once they're full, overwrite.
I'm trying to do the following to a flash banner, I'd like to know if it's possible and how I would code it/do it. 1. Unlimited amount of slide support. The banner must look for 01.jpg, 02.jpg, 03.jpg... etc. Let's say the current slidshow has 4 photos, they want to be able to just upload another image and create a new .as file to make it appear in the flash slideshow. 2. each link must be in its own independent script. For example 01link.as, 02link.as, 03link.as etc.
so much entries here about full screen flash, but i coultnt find what i wanna know. i read the tutorial about the full screen flash, but it wont work the way i wish it would. what i wann have is a swf embeded in an html. the swf size is 950 px x 550 px and is in the absolute middle from all sides of the browser. if you scale your browser, it should scale itself smaller, but not bigger than the beginning resolution. within the swf file there is a game, that opens in a seperate window in front of the main swf. that window should be dragged whereever you want in the browser.
but i just figuered out what i have to do, to give the window some freedom. but when i want to drag it above the main swf i cant do that. i figured out that when i drag it to the left, there is the same problem, but the further right i press the mouse on the window, the further i can drag the window to the left. same is on top - on the right and the bottom site there is no problem.and the html code is:
I am trying to build an MXML application with Flash Builder 4.5, and I am integrating an API that requires the root of a display object to be a MovieClip. Personally I think this is bad design but I have to go with it. The root object always seems to end up as the stage, because of course I have to add the object to the stage for it to be added to the display list. Is there some way that I can either change the stage type in an MXML application to a MovieClip or is there some way to force a MovieClip wrapper to become the root of a display object?
i need a way to use one object to drag another object in a movie.one object, when clicked and mouseover-ed onto another, should drag the other clip as well.and i've been reading that you can only drag one object at a time when it comes to as3.
I am able to drag a copy of an object and drop it on the canvas, using drag-drop manager functionality in Flex.
The original object remains unchanged and a new copy of the object is created. However, If i further want to drag this copy and position it differently on the canvas, I find that the object is not draggable.
Since this copy is created at runtime, I am not sure how I can achieve to drag it? [code]...
I have an object I need to rotate by clicking and dragging. Following some AS2 code I got the object to rotate a bit every time the mouse is clicked, but can't get it to work with drag.
needle.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, fl_ClickToDrag_2); stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, fl_ReleaseToDrop_2); function fl_ClickToDrag_2(event:MouseEvent):void
