I want to make a jigsaw puzzle in flash. I know how to create square kind of shapes. But I want to create this kind of irregular shapes. See the live demo of puzzles in the links shown

I just want to how to create the irregular shapes.
The top left corner works ok - I copied and pasted the code and made the minor changes. The other 3 parts of the puzzle are causing a real puzzle for me.I've checked instance names, and everything else I can think of.Is there something in the code that could prevent the other bits working properly? Some of the names aren't brilliant - I thought this would only take a few minutes to knock up!
Code:
// Drag cameron 2
a2.onPress = function() {
this.startDrag(false);
};

I'm trying to create a jigsaw puzzle and need to show a text when the puzzle is complete. I can't solve it. I have 12 puzzle peaces and when all of them are correct placed i need the "Congratulation" text to show. Is there a easy AC snippet telling a text to show when all peaces are in correct x and y? The puzzle peaces are buttons and have instant names as, puz1, puz2 and so on....
View 2 RepliesI am using the puzzle game sample from adobe and want to use it as part of an interactive narrative for students. However, everytime I try to go to new frame or scene the image stays with me. How do I remove or unload the puzzle frame and bitmap images so that it doesn't follow me. I am not a coder very confusing here is the entire script.

I have a simple jigsaw type puzzle - only 4 pieces at the moment. The top left corner works ok - I copied and pasted the code and made the minor changes. The other 3 parts of the puzzle are causing a real puzzle for me. I've checked instance names, and everything else I can think of.

Code:
// Drag cameron 2
a2.onPress = function() {
this.startDrag(false);};
a2.onRelease = function() {
this.stopDrag();
// Convert the slash notation to dot notation using eval.
if (eval(this._droptarget) == b_mc) {
b_mc._visible = false;
c2._visible =true;
a2._visible =false;
change_score();
}};

how to rotate individual jigsaw puzzle pieces using the left and right arrow keys. Can anyone help? Here is the action script that I am using:
on (press) {
startDrag("_root.pic9", true);
this.swapDepths(100);
}

I have a jigsaw puzzle that I want to add the ability to have each peice rotate. This code is based off some code I purchased. I cannot reach the company other than some generic instructions to add an event. The instruction I was given was:
public function rotateActivePiece(dir:int=1):void
Rotates the active puzzle piece (last clicked),
90 degrees, clockwise if dir>0, and counterclockwise if dir<=0.
Parametersdir:int (default = 1) - Parameter defining the direction of the rotation.
CW if pozitive, CCW if zero or negative.
I dont know what to do with this or where to add.

I have maze-like game and I'm trying to get the player mc to respond to a collision between the boundary mc.hitTestObject doesn't work since it's not a rectangle. Is there a way to do this?
View 7 RepliesI was working on a game idea where I have to compare one underlying movie Clip and the movie clip being dragged and dropped upon it ,are exactly overlapping each other or not. I am not able to think of a solution when using irregular shapes.
View 0 RepliesI have a MovieClip that contains a GIF bitmap that is a non-rectangular object (e.g. a star). All the pixels outside of the star are Transparent. Is there a way I can somehow programmatically limit Mouse events to fire only when the mouse cursor is within the star region (but not in the rest of the transparent rectangular area)?

View 7 RepliesI'm pretty new to flash but recently got an assignment at college to produce a childrens game, I've been following a tutorial online to produce a jigsaw puzzle, so I can get use to actionscript and gain a little experience. I cant get some alignment right. I've followed this tutorial exactly and this is where i am stuck, below are the instructions and how it should look:
This is how mine looks, as you can see its out of place:
I trying to make a game like Chicken Get Home.There a different type of levels in the game by arranging the tiles. I made the levels in the art and exported the array value by using mappy. ** How can we use the array value in our code and how to import those levels in the code
** How to move the tile with mouse only to blank position(ie like snapping to next tile)..
I have recently designed a children's educational game that is completed, however; it is a puzzle and the puzzle pieces can be dropped on top of each other and they hide behind eachother which I do not want to happen. I would like the game pieces to automatically get pushed off to the side of the other puzzle pieces that are in use...not stacked on top of each other. The game is complete except for this one problem.
View 1 RepliesI know it's for sure a complex task, but does anybody out there know a package or a set of algorithms to extract shapes out of set of overlapping lines? I am looking for something in as3 that would resemble adobe illustrator's pathfinder function (most specifically, intersection). SWF here: [URL]. I know it will need some crazy geometric calculation?

View 8 RepliesSo i need to create a 3D game in flash. What is the best way of doing that? Do I need to use Papervision 3D, or can I just import 3D animations and code it in Flash?
View 4 RepliesI'm sort of new to Flash, have been using it for ages but just to animate, i haven't done any programming or interactive stuff for years, so i feel new to it again!Creating a very simple platform.Movie clip of the character (instance name z_1)- runs button - when pressed makes z_1 invisible and loads another movieclip of him firing a weapon (z_fire). (also makes ground stop moving- basically game is a static running animation, over a moving ground, if that makes sense)This all works fine, i even figured how to make the score increase!After the firing animation is finished (there is a stop on the movieclip) i want the original running animation to be visible again and for the ground etc to play again. The firing animation is only 12 frames long so i imagine i need to tell the button to resume normal service on the stage after that time period![code]It's probably completely wrong but it works, i just need to know the extra code to make the original animations start back again after z_fire has played.
View 2 RepliesI am creating a blit game and as of right now, the only thing that is blitting is the world itself (i.e. roads, fences). i was planning on displaying my character as a sprite and any interactive objects that it comes by as sprites as well.PickUps, Houses, Enemies. I was wanting to know what are the best practices when it comes to this. does this seem wise. When normallying blitting a game, how much of the game is actual blit, and how much should be display objects.

I'm using Macromedia Flash Professional 8 at the moment, and I'm fairly inexperienced with actionscript and most Flash processes. What I'm looking to do is create a game of sorts where characters appear on either side of the screen and a dialogue box appears at the bottom with text scrolling across every time the player clicks "Next" or whatever, and the characters' mouths move and their eyes blink as the text scrolls. We're using voice actors so we'd put an audio clip at the start of each piece of dialogue.
View 1 RepliesCreating a pacman-style game using Flash (AS3). There are 3 players competing to eat the most dots. Right now when one player eats a dot, on that player's screen the dot goes away (but only for a second) and appears again in the screen. The other player playing, doesn't see that the dot went away and reappeared.Using hitTestObject, when a player touches a dot, the dot should no longer be seen on the stage. I'm using shared object to create this multi-player game environment. I'm new in using SharedObject and also AS3.

I am planning to develop a jigsaw puzzle, by designing the puzzle pieces in Photoshop (with each jigsaw piece on a separate layer) and then importing all PS layers into flash, to compile the game. I haven't been using AS3 for too long, but am reasonably happy with the progress I've been making and would like to take this step up in terms of complexity.
The pieces will be stored in an array (piecesAry). I want the pieces to each be registered to a Point on the playing board. For example, if there are 100 pieces in the jigsaw, each piece will have correct place in terms of a 10x10 matrix (10 rows x 10 columns). The unique Point for each piece will, I think, need to be stored in the piecesAry.
My query relates to how I am best assigning the unique Point to each individual piece. For example, to take again the example of the 100 piece jigsaw, would it be possible / effective to create an underlying 10 x 10 bitmap square grid, and have each piece of the grid assigned to an individual piece (the thinking being that the square grid can be "cut up" easier than the jigsaw once in flash).

As you may have seen from my previous posts, I am creating a side-scrolling action game in Flash/Actionscript 3.0. Right now I am trying to get enemy objects to face the player's direction. Here is what I mean (dartD1 is an instance of the enemy character object. If its scaleX is 1, it's facing right; if its scaleX is -1, it's facing left):

I have a question about shapes (i mean the flash.display.Shape class). Is it possible to import Shapes directly from the library as Shapes and not as Sprites/MovieClips? Shapes are supposed to be faster than MovieClips/Sprites, right? So why is it only possible to import MCs/Sprites from the library? I understand that generally shapes could be created solely by actionscript, but in my case the shape comprises of many points and is curved - so it's quite infeasible.
Is there maybe some sort of plugin to generate code that would draw the desired shape from a drawn shape in CS4? And a last one: Are there any benchmarks out there for performance comparison between sprites/mcs/shapes? How much performance do i loose by using a sprite instead of a shape?
