Is it possible to swap an object such as the player character after a certain event? Say, the player absorbs ten circles, her character is now upgraded to a character with a larger radius.

am a day 2 flash user and I have been trying to make a game, but for starters i want to make my character be able to move using arrow keys that includes showing the legs movement instead of a fixed image drifting across.There is one problem, when I press RIGHT arrow key , it goes fine, but when I press LEFT arrow key (rever direction) my character flips from point A to point B instead of facing left, i have been thinking maybe it's the frame problem, is it possible to tell flash to play the REVERSE moveclip

View 4 RepliesI'm making a game...and I want to change my background image depending on where the character is. I thought I would make a MovieClip...with all the different background images on different keyframes. My question is....can I use AttachMovie, and if so...how do I reference the particular frame that I want to...? I've never used AttachMovie before, and wasn't sure of the syntax...and how to reference it...to go to a particular frame.

I have this animation I made that I'm trying to import using Flash. It's a pretty simple animation, with a black background and orange for the main character.What I was wondering is this: is there any way to change the color of the character in Flash so that it will subsequently change the color in each of the frames?Also, is there any way to isolate the character so that I can add other objects and animations that move independently from the primary animation?
View 6 RepliesIm trying to make a game at the moment, with a little character who runs around the screen. To do this i have keyboard event listeners on the character.I have an inventory which opens when you click a button, and has number of things to click on.My problem is that when i close the inventory, by clicking the close button, my keyboard event listeners no longer work on my character.
Keyboard events also dont work on the stage at this point, and i cant understand what i need to do.Its as if nothing has focus anymore for keyboard events. Mouse clicks still work fine.
i'm doing a school project of mine and i am having trouble doing the changing color objects. here is an axample of the script that i;m using:
on (rollOver) {
var colorful = new Color("_root.shapes");
colorful.setRGB(0x003366);
}
For this script it does change color, but how do i make it to stay the same color that user selected after going to another scene?
I have written code that continually adjusts the colour of a targetted movie clip using a Color object called 'myColor' and an Object called 'colTransform' to adjust the colour of a movie called 'myClip':
//creates colour object and links it to movie
myColor = new Color(myClip);
//creates object that dictates colour adjustment
colTransform = new Object();
//adjusts object
[Code]...
I could also write a loop that loops through a number of objects and applies the colour changes to each in turn but I'm looking for a simpler solution - is there a way of doing this?
Example:
var arr_1:Array = new Array();
arr_1.push({sdate:"2010-02-02",status:"New"});
arr_1.push({sdate:"2010-02-03",status:"New"});
arr_1.push({sdate:"2010-02-04",status:"New"});
arr_1.push({sdate:"2010-02-05",status:"New"});
How can I change element number 3 status to: "Old", without removing it. Just update the status value??

I'm writing a class that really doesn't need to be anything related to a displayObject. It's really more for organizational purposes, than anything else. It's there to handle 1 thing, and 1 thing only. However, I want to have it dispatch an event when it's done so that nothing gets ahead of itself, and I don't end up running functions before the SWF has finished setting itself up.
Simply using the ActionScript Code:
dispatchEvent(new Event("masterFinished",true));
Method isn't working, as the class is. I keep getting the:
PHP Code:
1180: Call to a possibly undefined method dispatchEvent.
However, if I change the class to extend Sprite, and then add it to the Stage as a displayObject, then it works just fine. Is there a way to get the class to dispatch an event without turning it into a displayObject or writing a custom EventDispatcher (I'm assuming the latter would work, but I'm not positive...).
changing the behavior of Key_down event. in every tutorial if for example you keep left arrow pressed you object will move to the left for i.e 5pix all the time,constant speed. can you change the key_down so it will only move once no matter how long the key is pressed, after you release it and press again it will only move one time again and so on
View 2 Replieswhen i run this code.. all is good and everything is read from the file trees.txt
var myLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader()
myLoader.dataFormat = URLLoaderDataFormat.VARIABLES
myLoader.load(new URLRequest("trees.txt"))
myLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onDataLoad)
[code]...
now what i am trying to do, and i am almost certain i am going the wrong way with this, is to add on rollover a button that corrosponds to the text the text will change color from black to red. meaning... if i rollover button_0 the text of tcname_0 with change to red , and if i rollover button_1 text in tcname_1 would change.. and so on. so here is what i did:
var myLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader()
myLoader.dataFormat = URLLoaderDataFormat.VARIABLES
myLoader.load(new URLRequest("trees.txt"))
[code]...
2- if the loop works and doesnt break, i still have a problem of how to exactly pass the name of the text field that should be changed. right now i am hard coding it as tcname_2 to see if this even works but i would like it to somehow pass the button_x (x being the number) and use that x to change the corrosponding text i.e (tcname_x) .. is this even doable?
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.

I need to be able to know when a container is clicked and when a button on the container is clicked. I am loading a swf with buttons into a container sprite. If I add a click event to the container it does not get triggered when a button in the loaded swf is clicked. if I add mouseChildren false to the container the it gets triggered. What I need is both the button in the loaded swf to work as well as the click event on the container.

I want to be able to add an event listener on objects 1, 2, and 3; then, have object 4 dispatch one event type and have objects 1-3 correctly hear it and act.
For example, consider the following:

It works, and I get 3 Alert messages. Now, I understand that dispatching an event to a specific object will work (and thats why using the three lines of code above works), but I want to dispatch a general "foo" event using one line of code and give the ability for all objects to key off that "foo" call and not one specific object.
Is it possible to dispatch a general "foo" event and have ALL objects able to receive the call, or am I stuck with dispatching events for every specific object I want to receive it?
I've got a project where a lot of buttons are created. Each one has different instance name but all have the same roll over/roll out animation.
Is it possible to only use one roll over/out event listener for all of the buttons?
