Homing Missile - Making Rocket To Turn Around If Target Bypassed
May 12, 2011
I'm trying to create a homing missile in AS3. Easy enough when you want it to simply follow a point perfectly - but I'm trying to make the rocket have to turn around if the destination (target) bypasses it. Here's what I've got - it almost works, but as you can see it's quite glitchy (particularly if the mouse is to the left of the rocket (seems to work OK if it's moving right). [URL]
Here's my Rocket class:
package {
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.geom.Point;
import flash.events.Event;
public class Rocket extends Sprite {
[Code] .....

I�m working on an asteroid game and don�t get it to create a nice trail for my spaceship(s).It doesn�t need to look spectacular, just "nice".I tried a comic look alike version with angled mc�s, whose scale are tweened down and up. But it�s not the right look.And I tried some flame effects by as3, but it not seems to be a smart solution. Nice look, but needs a lot of memory space.

The sequence basically involves rockets being fired when an appropriate timer event is triggered. Each instance of a rocket has a code which looks for a mouse click event, and then tells it's parent (I've called it "gameplayzone") to remove it from the scene.I've got a problem where:I'd also like to be able to update a score variable held in the gameplay zone (add 50 to it's current value for example)I also want it to modify a "lastcolour" variable in the parent, which is a string. The lastcolour variable is used to see if the play is clicking rockets of the same colour, which is used to calculate a combo points bonus.
The biggest issue however is that I'd like the gameplay container to simply be able to add a new instance of a rocket when I want to, but also define that specific instances values (x position, y position - but also xVel, yVel and yAcc which are properties inside the rocket class)This is a blunt question, but... What's the best way to do this?

I have a component based on canvas, and within that component I have two images. I have the component listen for a click and when that event occurs one image goes transparent and the other becomes visible. This part works perfect. Now, on clicking that component, I also want to do something to the parent canvas, I already have this working for more basic types (image, canvas, text, etc) but the problem with my component is that the click event has the internal image as the target, so what I want to happen to the outside canvas is happening to the canvas of the component. How do I make my component as a whole the target of any clicks on it?

I'm making a Space Invaders-type game. Y'know? Arrow keys to fly Space to shoot? Well, shooting isn't working so well. I have two .as files: Ship.as which controls the ship's ActionScript, and Missile.as which is supposed to control the missile. When I hit load it up I get the error: The class or interface 'Missile' could not be loaded.

I'll start off by saying I'm a newbie, just putting that out there. How do you make a turn by turn multiplayer flash game? I don't know if an engine is made in AS3, PHP, Javascript, or whatever,I made my game already, it's just that it isn'tmultiplayer yet. Basically, there are lines, and each player crosses out a number of lines, and the last player to cross out a line is the loser. I want it where one user crosses out some lines, then presses End Turn, then the other does their turn and then presses End Turn to allow the other player to move his cursor. But how can I get both players to see the same frame and only have one player have the ability to move the cursor during a turn? Is there some easily adaptable multiplayer engine for flash for newbies out there

Basically, I have a border(line) at the top of the stage so that whenever my ship's missile comes in contact with this line, it is removed and a rebound missile clip is attached.Here is the missile code:
Actionscript Code:[code].....The problem is that the rebound missile always spawns at left of the stage, not wherever the ship missile was removed.I'm not sure if I should attach the fla, action script files, swf etc. to the thread. Also, my flash version is CS5.

i already know how to create a simple turret / cannon type game wherein the turret will fix its rotation based on where the users mouse is.. from there, the user can fire bullets which fly into the direction where the turret was pointed at when it was fired..
however, i want to take it a step further and make the turret fire bullets that can follow the mouse as i move it on stage (sort of like a "heat-seeking" missile) .. once i stop moving the mouse around the stage and the bullet catches up / arrives at the mouseX and mouseY, it will remove itself...
below is the code i used for the simple turret / cannon type game. i was wondering what i should add / modify in the code to make the "heat-seeking" work...

qi have a movieclip which is added to the stage:
var profileholder:profileHolder=new profileHolder ;
inside of profileholder is another movieclip(infoBtn) that acts as a button.when the mouse is over profileholder i want to do something with infoBtn like:
//profOver is the over state of profileholder
function profOver(e:Event) {
e.target.infoBtn.alpha=1;
}
this doesn't work and brings up this error:ReferenceError: Error #1069: Property infoBtn not found on flash.display.Loader and there is no default value.
at main_fla::MainTimeline/profOver()
i also tried:
function profOver(e:Event) {
var item:profileHolder=e.target as profileHolder;
item.infoBtn.alpha=1;
}
and get this error:TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.

For a project, I'm making an interactive side scroller.You move the character with the arrow keys and press the space bar to interact with things.So far, I followed DexNote's tutorial on YouTube.I thought that I would make the interactable objects as buttons, while the mouse focus would be on the character and when you press the space bar it make a mouse click in that area.The trouble I'm having now is that I don't know how to make the space bar trigger the "interactions."

How do you turn off the sound in a game only? I ask because I have two buttons in my settings: turn music on/off and sound on/off. turning music on and off is really easy because it uses a specific sound channel. But How do you turn off the volume the sound only (e.g. music is still playing but not the sound of the game)?
When I mute the sound via SoundMixer.soundtransform you can't hear anything so that's not what I wanted to have. In my game all sounds are thrown into an array. My first idea was that I go through all sounds listed in the array and turn off the volume but that's not working.
Code:
//not working
private var sounds:Array;
private var soundChannels:Array = [];
