I want to write a game in which there will be some balls on the stage, that will move randomly. They must have unique starting speed and angle and should interfere with each other just like real billiard balls. Is there any physics engine in AS3 that might be useful for this purpose, or will I have to write and model their behavior from the scratch?
View 1 RepliesFollowing is the code I paste in the first frame of layer1..it was working before I added for loop..I am tring to explode all six balls on the stage clicking..but what is missing ?How can I get it work ?
for (var i = 1; i<6; i++) {
ball[i].onPress = function() {
ball[i].gotoAndPlay("explode");
};
}
After modifying code from a tutoial I've got the drag n drop game part of my educational project app working beautifully.The unfortunate thing is that If I hit the home button that is common to all the "pages" in my app to move away from the game, the balls that have been dropped into the correct position remain visible on the stage in ALL other pages.I'm guessing this is because the AS code removes the event listener so once dragged to the correct postion in the game, they snap there and cannot be moved.Am I right?How can I solve the problem of the dropped balls being visible on other "pages"
var counter:Number = 0;
var startX:Number;
var startY:Number;

I'm new in these forums, so I don't know that this question is on the right place. If it's not, then please forgive me.
I have got a little question. What should I download if I want to write a 3D game for the Flash Player 11?I'm not new to Flash, I just don't know, what should I do if I want to program a little 3D game, that uses the native 3D acceleration.
I am working on a flash game which is a shooting egg game. I want to export a score(what ever it may be ) to the xml file so that using php developer can take it from there n post it to the wall just like we play games on facebook n it asks you that "Do u want to post your scores?". The variable of Dynamic text box is score.
View 1 RepliesIm making a transition from Java to Flash/Actionscript and Im having sort of a hard time figuring out where to write my code for my flash game loop(or engine) due to flash having "frames" unlike Java.Am I able to put the loop inside the Document class even having like game menus in the game? I havent found a way to put it in there without it always running when the flash application begins.Or should I just have the game loop called every frame? For instance, frame 4 will be level 1 and so the engine will be called out there. And frame 5 will be level 2 and ill call a different instance of the game engine there.Im just having a difficult time due to the "frames". So where would be the best place to put the game loop?
View 4 Replieshow would i write a function for rollOut from stage?ex:
ActionScript Code:
stage.onRollOut = function()
{
//code here
}
If you put a moviecilp on the stage and then write a class that extends movieclip, is it possible to make it so that this references inside your class refer to the movieclip on stage.
E.g. this.x would refer to the x reference of the movieclip on stage.
I have a simple ball class where it bounces and such and stays on the stage based on boundaries. right now im using a for loop to attachMovie("ball",...) in my main fla file
which is basiclaly my movieclip that has the AS 2.0 class pointed to it. It bounces fine using the tutorial on Kirupa(by senocular?) i want these balls to bounce off each other too?
I have balls (...sounded pervert) that are created by duplicateMovieClip, yes, they spawn, but right on top of each other, and I don't seem to be able to do anything to them, I tried ball+i.onEnterFrame = function(){} typed in several different ways ("ball"+i, ["ball"+i] etcetc...) And I just couldn't find How to refer to them. i'm trying to spawn them to random positions and make them move in random directions (got the moving part already coded but like I said I can't name them -> can't use it atm.)
Short version: How to refer to balls that are created by duplicateMovieClip?
I want to detect perfect collision between two balls. i mean. when balls move in ENTER_FRAME. their (x,y) are updated with such a large value that it sometimes miss the complete collision. and also how to find the collision point.
View 2 RepliesI'm trying to make two balls that bounce into eachother and walls for a school assignment. My problem is I don't really know the maths to make this work myself so I've tried to get help from others who don't know AS but who do know the maths, but I couldn't get that to work. Then I found a site that had exactly what I was looking for, but it was in AS2. I've tried to translate it to AS3 but it doesn't work properly either. The balls either get connected to eachother and stay that way or go out of the stage. This example is here:[URL] Attached my files. Probably lots of redundant code in my code from previous attempts at solving it, but I don't think it affects anything as it is now.
View 2 RepliesI've got this ball that bounces around the screen. There are a bunch more that are made with the duplicate movie clip command. I want them to bounce off eachother, as well as the walls. The problem is, I cant just put the code on the original ball because then balls want to bounce off themselves which creates problems. So my question is, is there some kind of loop I can use to make it so each duplicate ball will bounce off the others but not itself?
View 5 RepliesI've been trying to recreate the yugop examplewhere the balls seem to bounce off each otherbut the difference is, they can also rest on top of each other.click to add more balls.
Code:

I'm looking at creating a game which involves many bouncing balls on the screen, and the user can sortof select one of those balls and take it out... The balls should be able to bounce of eachother and the walls. I've tried implementing this from scratch, following the tutorials at [URL] - but it's not quite working for me, and if I need the game to become more complicated- probably best to use an existing engine. So is there an existing engine that will work very fast and well for this sort of thing? At a glance- it didn't seem like box2d or flixel would work for this... but what do you say?

View 3 RepliesI want to show the number of balls increasing as the frame numbers increase, and I also want to show them decreasing (reverse the frame no) how can I go about doing this? I also need the current frame to be in the middle of all the total frames so when I go to the right balls wil increase and go to the left balls will decrease..

View 5 RepliesSo mys question is this, I want to have a hidden button on a flash game where I press the 'P' key and it pauses and unpauses my flash game. To do this I want to use the stage.framerate command.... where I would pause the game by hitting the P key and setting the stage.frameRate = 0.01; and then unpause the game hitting the P key again and setting the stage.frameRate = 24;I used to tinker around in Flash stuff using as2 about 5 years ago and not touched flash since.

That's the correct syntax for this? I want to be able to dynamically write to several textfields that exist on the stage but have not been dynamically placed there.
im building a sound toy that has four balls that can be thrown around and will bounce of each other. when each ball collides i have a chord to be played through a hit test for each pair. im having a problem with getting good collisions between balls and also using hit tests to trigger sound.
View 1 RepliesI'm a student at Drexel University and I just completed a basic platformer for a actionscript class. My professor docked me some points for the game not working until the user actually clicks within the swf. I've heard that this problem is caused on mac osx, but I don't have any concrete evidence to get the points back. Here's a link to the game if you want to check it out.

How does Flash deal with elements that are off-stage?Obviously Flash doesn't actually render them (because they don't appear anywhere on-screen), but is the process of rendering them still existent, slowing down my game as much as it would if the elements were on-screen?
Or does Flash intelligently ignore elements who don't fall into a renderable area?Should I manually manage removing objects off the DisplayList and adding them back on as the exit and enter the stage, or is this going to be irrelevant?
For a game where I have a different level on a screen how do I do this? Do I need to erase the stage and place a new level on it or is there a wat to have another stage?
