I know how to do motion guides, but now I also want to control this movieclip with actionscript code, so that I modify the x and y properties, but STILL restrict the position of the movieclip only to that motion guide. I see that once I modify the x or y properties, the movieclip jumps off the motion guide

View 2 Repliesi'm trying to restrict the movement of a mc to the diagonal. so even if i click and drag it towards the x direction, it moves the corresponding distance on the diagonal which is, the 45 deg angle line.same with the y direction..so when i click and move the mouse haphazardly, all the object does is to follow it on the diagonal.But i just cant figure out the math for it. i mean, theoretically i think i need to use the x-component of the mouse when its angle is < 45 and the y-component when its angle is > 45. but how do i find those angles in flash?

So I've created a script where a mc is clicked on and the player can draw a path using the mouse. I'm trying to figure out how I can get the mc to follow the path drawn out by the player's mouse and when the player clicks again, it erases all of the path.my code is below

My stage size if 300x300 and I have three movie clips each of size 100x100. So there will be three movie clips on the stage. Now my problem when I Click on one movie clip, the onMouseDown event handler of all the three movie clips are being executed. Is there any way for restricting the event handling to only that particular movie clip which was clicked by the user ..?

View 4 RepliesI am creating a flash game and I've hit a problem I have four objects, lets call them img1 through img4 I need them to move around a maze, witch is made up of blocks (maze.wall.block1 to block53) I have seen tutorials on creating a path however these all involve the object to be added to the stage, where as I am doing it in a as3 class. So my question is either: How can I create a path manualy on the stage, then create an object to follow the path in the as3 class, OR how can I add very simple ai to the img object to move around but change direction when the hitTestObject triggers on the maze.wall.blocks?
View 1 RepliesIs it possible to draw motion guide/path for a mouse position based movement?
For example if I have path the is like letter H. I would need to write many clauses/conditions for the borders of the movement. It would be a LOT easier if there would be some solution that makes the object always to stay on the defined path when moving..
I have made a movieclip and gave the frame this actionscript:
------------------------------------------------------------
var keyListener:Object = new Object();
keyListener.onKeyDown = function() {[code]........
it moves fine and stuff but i was wondering how can i restrict the area in which the movieclip can actually move ? my flash file is 550px X 400px and i want to make it so that it can only move in 300px X 200px of the file if you understand ?
I've attached a demo fla so you can see what I'm trying to do. Basically the big circle is a spaceship that will move to wherever you click. The small circle is a resource that the ship can collect, in this case it's called iron. When you click on the iron the ship moves to it and then the small circle disappears, and +1 is added to your inventory, creating the illusion that the ship has collected it. Problem is, after you collect the iron, you can't really move the ship anymore. It's stuck around the position where the iron was. How do I regain control of the ship after I collect the iron?

I have a big movieclip in a movieclip (bigger then the stage) when i roll over different movieclips the big movieclip moves, right now it just keeps moving when i keep the mouse on the movieclip/ I would like the movieclip to stop moving when its edge is about to leave the screen. I have no idea how i should do this, and all the tutorials i've found explain how to keep and object in the stage (this one is a lot bigger then the stage)
View 1 RepliesCan anyone tell me how could I be able to move a movieClip in opposite direction of the _xmouse?That means when I move the mouse pointer to right side, my movieClip would move some distance to the left side. And when I move the mouse to the left ,the movieClip should also move to right.I have done something in the attached file but i dont want to continue the movieClip's movement when the mouse movement stops.

using a variable in a path to a MovieClip.
I have a menu with 4 tabs. When I click on one I want it to open and the previous one to close.
I'm storing the previous tab as a variable (_previousTab) but am having trouble adding the variable to the path to the MovieClip of the previous tab. The error Flash gives me is:
TypeError: Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties.
at MenuRun/menuOpen()

If I replace mainframe[_previousTab] with the name of the MovieClip it works fine. I'm thinking it's something to do with the variable being a String perhaps?
I am working on a game project and i have a question about movie clip movement using keyboard event. Basically I have a character on screen and it can move on the x axis using the left and right buttons. I am making my character move by changing the x value of the character movieclip but I find very it laggy and not smooth and if I am going point by point then it's too slow. Whats the best way to make the character move so that the transition will be smooth.

I'm having a problem with a little movement script I wrote for a MC I have. I believe it either has to do with variable scoping, or with a coordinate system problem. (If I change the xPos and yPos in the onClipEvent (load) to 0,0...then the MC starts in the middle of the field (MC) I'm trying to move it inside of.) Basically...the ActionScript you see below is a part of the "Player" MC...who is supposed to move around a "field" MC I have.
(I was assuming setting xPos and yPos to 0 would have the Player MC starting at the very top left of the entire screen...which instead it starts in the middle of the "field" MC.) Also - When I press the different arrow keys...the Player MC jumps around to different locations...but once at the new location the movement (in a single direction) works okay. I've attached the .swf.
onClipEvent (load) {
speed = 2;
xPos = 0;
yPos = 0;
this._x = xPos;
this._y = yPos;

I have a page with height of 2800px. On this page I place a menu up of the page. As I scroll the page down, the menu disappears ( it still stays up). What I need is the menu to remain on the level of the page, where I am just, while I am scrolling the page. Something like on the this website http:[url].... By the way it doesn't have to be menu, I mean any mc that I want it to be moving on that page like that.

I'm making a game where your character must touch rings (big ovals) that are moving up and down with a motion tween (with easing). I attach these movies and push them into an array. For the hittesting, nothing is accurate. Since a movieclip inside the ring movieclip is moving up and down, the boundary box is much bigger than it should be when hittesting. If I use the x/y method, it triggers the hittest when my character is in line with the reference point. It should trigger when the middle of the character hits around the middle of the ring.
View 2 RepliesI have the following script in both frame 1 and 2 to let a movieclip move from right to left on the stage:
Code:
speed =-5
name._x += speed
if (name._x<-500) {
name._x = 250;
}
And the clip is indeed moving from right to left on the stage and when it reaches _x -550 it is going back to it's starting position _x 250 only the movement isn't smooth at all. What should I do to make the movement more smooth or should I use a completely different script?
