ActionScript :: Game Loop Not Running?
Feb 19, 2012
I'm developing a Flash game using ActionScript 3 and have this code in my documents class:
package com {
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.display.Stage;
public function Engine() {
// Create a player instance
[Code]...
Is there a library or something I need to import to get this to work? If it's not obvious, I want to run the gameLoop method of my Engine class (the documents class) on every new frame (the document is currently set to 30fps).

I have trace statements all over that I may or may not comment out for debugging purposes, once I am done working on some segment.
-init
-game menu entered
...waiting
-instructions open
[code]....
Is this ever done for a debugging workflow? I feel like its a way I could have written notes to myself instead of re-learning some code that I forgot about any might have hacked together at the time.

I am making a platform game in flash. I have a goal class(the class which contains code for the goal sprite, where when you hit it, it continues to next part of game).
[Code]...
The beginClass function is fine, and only runs once, but eFrame is what checks if the player has hit the goal, so it is constantly running. The problem is, once the player hits the goal, eFrame continues to run, while in a menu describing the next scene to the player. My eFrame function is below.

I'm trying to run a for loop for my game that runs once, waits a certain amount of time, then runs again. I'm trying it with setInterval but so far no luck. Could someone please give me an example of some code that would cause this to happen.

I'm SO new to scripting. I find it all a bit daunting I have a Flash movie that runs for about 300 frames, then I'd like it to run backwards once it's reached the last frame, then play again from the beginning, and loop from there.
So really forward end frame reverse loop play again (loop) Is there an easy way to script this? I think I can figure out the first frame, but what would one put at the last frame?

I've got this for loop, but for some weird reason it malfunctions:
- When triggered, it runs infinite times.
- It only triggers when segmenten1 or segmenten3 are 0, which is weird, because it should also work when segmenten0 and 2 and 4 are 0...
Here is the for loop:
stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,addmetaal);
function addmetaal (evt:Event) {
for(var animteller=0;animteller<5;animteller++){
if (this["segmenten"+animteller]==0) {
[Code] .....
It seems to me like that when any of the segmented variables hits 0, it should trigger 2nd for loop, and repeat that 4 times. The xco and yco are arrays which store values for the x and y coordinates for spwaning the addchilds, this works fine.
the segmented variables are declared as following:
var segmenten1:Number=17, segmenten2:Number=17, segmenten3:Number=17, segmenten4:Number=17, segmenten0:Number=17;

I have a loop that is supposed to run a set of functions and output movieclips on a main movieclip. Each of these smaller movieclip is supposed to be a tile. The code below is supposed to make 50 movieClips each one from a different reference on the tileSheet. However it outputs 50 of the exact same movieclips.
Code:
var tDMax:int = 50;
//Start Get tiles
function getTiles():void{
tList.graphics.beginFill(0x000000);
tList.graphics.drawRect(0, 0,tWidth * 5, tHeight * 10);
[Code].....
Strange enough whatever I made tDMax which is supposed to be the limit for the loop, that's what all the movieclips become. For example if I put it at 25, then all the movieClips become tiles from the bitmap sheet reference # 25. That leads me to think that it's not passing the variable to the functions correctly, and it's only doing it once the loop finishes. But when I trace things like rowT and colT the references to the bitmap are correctly. And when I trade tn within the other functions that's always correct also..

How do you stop the flash debugger if the code is running an infinite loop, or very very slowly?
I put too many trace() statements in, and it is taking forever. I know I can ctrl+alt+delete and stop flash CS5, but is there an easier way?

For my game, I've made an easy-to-use instruction list to program enemies. It works pretty well, except it's inaccurate, and the only reason I can think of is a rounding error.
Here's how my instruction list works:
list[0] = "Right:60";
list[1] = "Left:60";
The game loop calls a function on the object that decides what action to do. Right:60 means it moves right for 60 game loops, then goes to the next item on the list. This works fine, except for the inaccuracy. An object gets his xSpeed altered every game loop, depending on the current instruction. If it's "Right", xSpeed += acceleration, if it's "Left", xSpeed -= acceleration.
The game loop itself multiplies the xSpeed by a friction variable, which is 0.7 (may be changed later, currently this works best). Now what happens is, the object bounces back and forth just fine. But it after so many times it keeps going a couple of pixels further to the left than to the right. Eventually, the object falls off the screen on the left, while the instruction says it should do 60 game loops of "Left" and 60 loops of "Right".

I am trying to create a turn base board game. It has four player and out the the four players one is human and the rest are cpu's. The players are number 1,2..4. In the beginning of the game it ask's the user to which player will be the human player. A random number generator function picks a random number between 1-4 and that number player will go first.
There is a while loop that controls the game play something like:
var isNotEndofGame:Boolean = true;
var human:Number; //the user inputs this number.
var aPlayer:Number = getRandomNumber(1,4); //players: 1, 2, 3, 4
while(isNotEndofGame) {
if(aPlayer==human) doHumanMove();
else doCpuMove();
This reset's the player so they can keep on playing until game ends.
if(aPlayer==4) aPlayer = 1;
}
inside function doCpuMove() and doHumanMove() isNotEndofGame will become false when the game objective is met.
The problem I am having is when its the human players turn I want the loop to pause or wait so that the human player can do some interaction such as click a button or drag a movieClip. I tried adding adding mouseclick event listeners and timer neither worked.

I need to take control of how my base game class updates:
package {
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.events.KeyboardEvent;
public class Test extends Sprite {
private var sprite:Sprite;
[Code] .....
Here after every key press/release AS3 takes care of automatically drawing a sprite onto screen, but I need to do this manualy. Haw to get my hands on updating mechanism here? I need something like this - all time repeating game loop that is set to be updated/redrawn every time at its end.

Im 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?

I have a game loop written in Haxe/Flash. For some reason it slows down over time. At first it runs reasonably, but my laptop fan starts spinning up and it gets slower and slower. Why would this happen?
import flash.display.StageDisplayState;
import flash.display.StageScaleMode;
import flash.display.MovieClip;

I have looked everywhere for an example or tutorial on a delta time game loop in AS3. I found many fixed time step examples but very little helpful information on delta time game loops and how it works. I have seen examples that do the calculations in a timer and also seen examples that do the calculations inside the enter_frame event. All the examples I have seen are also incomplete and only provided me with bits and pieces.

I'm trying to use a loadMovie function inside a loop to load external PNG files when my game is loaded. Unfortunately, I can't get even a single loadMovie to work correctly, much less execute a bunch of them.The code is on the root time line, and is targetting an empty movie clip that is nested inside about 3 levels. There is a button, with a movie clip on it, and the empty clip I'm trying to load into on that.so the full target path is myBox_00.smallBox.myLogo(myBox_00 is the button, smallBox is the movie clip, and myLogo is the empty)[code].I even tried using a JPG image instead of a PNG and still no luck. The best I could do was number 4; and that didn't work, all it did was SOMETHING instead of NOTHING... unfortunately that something was to make the button (myBox_00) disappear entirely T_T.I've never had much luck with loading external images. What am I missing here?

i am having trouble on designing the "game" loop in my flash as3 virtual pond currently i have the following enter_frame loop. in my "pond" parent container, there will be arbitrary amount of "fish" objects and "food pellet" objects. currently in my loop function when two or more food is placed in near distance of the fish , the fish will not move does anyone know why this happens? the below code is in my "Fish" class, updatePosition() merely tells the fish to swim around like a fish.
public function loop(e:Event):void
{
//getDistance(this.x - i.x, this.y - i.y)

I have recently started working with Mahjong game. But being not so experienced developer. I am just confuse about many aspects of it. So if anyone could throw some light on it. I have to build the game where there could be different number of tiles on screen. 32, 48, 64 , 80, 96, 112 and so on Now I have questions regarding the levels of blocks in this game. I mean the layouts of the game should be predefined or they should be dynamically created? Also I wanted to know how the surface of enable and disable symbols are created?
