Actionscript 3 - Create A Grid Layer In Flash And Identify In Which Quadrants Icons Are Placed?

May 19, 2011

I have an existing Flash app that has a layer containing a square separated into 4 quadrants. A set of icons is provided to the user and he/she is asked to drag each icon into one of the quadrants. Does Flash/AS3 provide a way to create a grid (not necessarily DataGrid) that overlays the existing image? If so, how do I setup AS3 syntax to save the quadrant in which an icon is placed?

ActionScript 2.0 :: Flash Not Seeing MovieClip Grid Placed On Layer

Jan 10, 2012

I don't think Flash is seeing my movie clip grid that I placed on the GRID Layer. When I check syntax it doesn't find anything wrong, when I go to debug in Flash it shows the grid even though I thought I have it set to visible=false. When I set it to true and debug the code it shows the grid as well. When I try to test it in Scaleform for UDK as well, the cursor acts as it should however the grid is invisible, when I change the code for the grid to be visible it still doesn't show up. I provided a screen shot of the entire screen. with as much information I could think of to show including the entire AS code.

Below is the AS code as well. I am using AS2 code.
ActionScript Code:
_global.gfxExtensions = true;
import flash.external.ExternalInterface;
Mouse.hide();
startDrag(cursor, true);
var mouseListener:Object = new Object();

Professional :: Flash Alpha Mapping - Create A Dynamic 3 Layer Image

Feb 15, 2012

I would like to create a dynamic 3 layer image that can have any of the 3 layers changed. i was thinking of doing this with alpha mapping where I have a back, middle, and front layer each defined by an alpha map. So if the style or shape of these changed I just render the texture with a new alpha map to define what portion actually takes the texture. So for each of the 3 layers there is a type(defines the shape), the texture which is applied to the shape, and an alpha map that is used to specify how the shape takes the image.

Imagine a fruit basket that can have the fruit switched out or the basket, and any combination of textures applied. You could potentially see the inside of the basket which may have a different texture than the outside. The fruit would all be one image that would then fit into the basket, and finally the basket would render. Then if you swap the color of the basket but keep the same model it would update, and you could then swap the model of the basket and keep the same color. But i'd want to do it where I have 1 texture that can fit over all the baskets but is just chopped off using alpha mapping.

Flash :: Flex Data Grid: Check Whether Item Renderer Displays Last Row In Grid

Feb 3, 2012

I'm currently working with the OLAPDataGrid component and got stuck at a relatively simple task: I want to style the last row of the grid differently from the rest, so my cell item renderer needs to know whether he's rendering the last row with content in the overall grid, including those rows currently not rendered because they are outside the visible grid space. AdvancedGridListData's rowIndex property only gets me the row index of the renderer relative to the range of visible grid rows, i.e. when I scroll down the grid, a data item with an index greater than 0 gets the rpw index = 0.

AS3 :: Flash - Identify MovieClip Among DisplayObjectContainer?

Oct 30, 2009

in ActionScript 3, if I loop through the children of a movie clip, it will return a DisplayObjectContainer, which is a list of DisplayObjects. However, the AS3 typeof cannot identify MovieClip as MovieClip is now an object, instead of a data type. How can I correctly identify MovieClip?I found 3 solutions online: First set the MovieClip name to a specific name, then in the iterate process, check the name of children using child.name.indexOf("specificName") > -1

Solution 2:use child.hasOwnProperty("numChildren") to identify a MovieClip

Solution 3: use 3rd party plug-in like FlashDevelop

Flash :: Get A Movie Clip To Identify Itself In AS2?

May 13, 2011

Basically, I'm making a very simple turn based battle game using ActionScript 2.0. I'm VERY new to code, with only very limited Visual Basic knowledge, so I'll happily admit I don't really know what I'm doing. I've got a start, but I decided to rewrite the entire thing because I wouldn't be able to cycle enemies and levels easily.I've spawned the same enemy twice using _root.attachMovie, and identified them as Enemy1 and Enemy2. After spawning them, I tried to make them identify themselves with:

_root.Enemy1.identify = "Enemy1"
_root.Enemy1.identify = "Enemy1"

Using the debugger, this apparently works (within the movieclip, they have a variable called identify which correctly labels them), yet when I try to use an if statement so I can put them in their own individual positions, it simply does not work; it skims straight over. The code I have within the movie clips is:

if (identify == "Enemy1") {
function poschange() {
[code]....

The poschange functions works fine for the player characters, it's just this if statement to identify which enemy it is apparently fails. So my question is: is there any easier way for a movie clip to identify its own ID so I don't have to use this method, or is there just something wrong with my code?

Identify A Unique User In Flash/Actionscript 3?

I'm trying to make a vote/poll application in Flash using Actionscript 3. Is there any way to generate a specific ID that is unique to each user?

It needs to be the same number every time it is run on the same PC, but different for each user.

Actionscript :: Create A Grid Of Boxes?

Jun 18, 2011

This is my current code:

for(i = 1; i <= 14; i++){
currentBlock = _root.noteGrid.attachMovie("block", "block" + i, _root.noteGrid.getNextHighestDepth);
currentBlock._x = Math.floor(i / 7) * 25;
currentBlock._y = (i % 7) * 25;
}

I have a movieclip with linkage set to block. When I compile this, the block appears however they are all on top of each other. When I used trace commands to find currentBlock._x, they are the correct values.
