I'm trying to figure out when a child is added to a movieclip "x", and handling/detouring this operation from withing this "x" movieclip.
I tried overriding addChild and addChildAt at with no prevail. The movieclips that are placed on the stage via flash still don't trigger addChild or addChildAt. However, tracing this.numChildren shows '2' correctly.
I have a movieclip that is loaded into a container movieclip. When I click on it, I want it to goto a particular frame and play. Have tried using the name of the container MC (LiftPlaceHolder.gotoAndPlay(10)) but this has no effect at all.
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to program this code:
public function enemiesDie(){
enemyLoop: for (var k:int = enemies.length -1;k>= 0; k--){
bulletLoop: for (var i:int = bullets.length -1; i>=0; i--){
if (enemies[k].hitTestObject(bullets[i])){
trace("hit");

To detect when a bullet hits an enemy in a game I'm trying to make and I get this error:
TypeError: Error #1006: hitTestObject is not a function.

I am adding an image dynamically to my SWF. Is it possible to figure out that whether the uploaded image is black & white or gray-scale or colored?
View 1 RepliesOk. So heres what I am trying to do. I want one movie clip to follow another one that I move around with actions on the main timeline.The problem is that the follower clip is linked to a class file and I cannot find a way to find the players position.

i have 2 intersecting movieclips.
is there a way to hit test point NOT detecting a bottom movieclip if the mouse is over the top movieclip?
Heres what I am doing:
I have a movie clip and when I click on it, it creates another movie clip. Great.
Lets call these mc1 and mcCreate.
The problem is that I want the mcCreate to stay until I have clicked something else than mc1.
I know I can use mouse out events but is there a way to detect that the object has lost the mouses focus?
I've used this code to detect a hit between a specific object and a certain MC
Code:
if(this.hitTest(_root.ufo)){
Now I want to know if its possible to detect collisions with everything except (ignore) certain MCs because I only have 3 MCS I don't want it to care about, but there will be about 200 or more I want it to care for.
I have an Object that has several parameters. In this case they are Arrays. For example: myObject.Name, myObject.Description (myObject.Name is an Array that contains a bunch of names)How do you detect all the parameters that are attached to the object without having to use the debugger for each instance?
View 3 RepliesI'm working on something where when a user places their mouse over a horse in a race, it will display the horse's name and post position. This works great and has a Mouse_OUT which then removes the display of the name/post position. However, I've noticed that if I place my mouse over a horse and leave it there and said horse moves away from underneath where my mouse was, the name/post position become stuck on the screen until you mouse over that horse again.
Actionscript Code:
horse1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, showPost1, false, 0, true);horse1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, hidePost1, false, 0, true);function

I am trying to create a system for a Tower Defense that detects if an tower or some structure can be placed on the grid.
The conditions are that the grid must be free of any structures and within the area that allows structures to be built (not on enemy path). I've seen many games do this already, so there's probably something out there. I just can't find it, although I understand the logic.
I have 2 different classes that contains different object. And I control from another custom classes on when to load which class. The custom class will load a class when first run, and switch to another one when selected. My problem is, although I called the next class, but the object does not appear. The class that controls which to load
ActionScript Code:
package classes{
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import flash.events.Event;
import classes.streamVideo;

I am having trouble finding the right keywords to find a solution to my problem. I want to make my app size dynamic according the size of the <object> tag set in HTML. Im searching for the code like: stage.width but showing me the fixed html attribute instead.
View 9 RepliesThe task seems easy: I am loading a video via a netsream object (could be FLV or an h264 mp4) and I would need to check if this video has audio available (otherwhise sound control objects should be disabled or become hidden).
View 3 RepliesI want to be able to mask an object that has been added to the stage using 'addChild'. This is what I have so far, but it does not seem to work.
Code:
var skyMask:mcSkyMask = new mcSkyMask();
skyMask.x = 0;
skyMask.y = 0;
addChild(skyMask);
var cloud1:mcCloud1 = new mcCloud1();
cloud1.mask = skyMask;
cloud1.x = 7.5;
cloud1.y = 57.7;
addChild(cloud1);
Basically, the cloud is going to move across the sky then get hidden by the mask so it does not appear on the background stage.
Please help! I'm designing an HTML website and added an animated Flash image using the object tag. I was handcoding on Dreamweaver and before I saved it I got this message asking me if the code should be modified for compatibility with IE8.
So I just clicked on 'Yes' and a 'script' folder was generated.
The Flash image appears on Firefox 3.5 but comes up with the dreaded red 'x' on IE8.
I need to merge 2 arrayCollection and avoid duplicates. They contain objects with their own attributes. I would like to avoid duplicates.

On regular objects but cannot find out how to do this with dynamically added ones :(
How do you access a child that has been added to an object?For example if I have a movieClip on the stage and I add a child to it, how do I then access that child?
Code:
var newClip:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
newClip.addEventListener(Event.ADDED, checkClip);

ActionScript Code:
addChild(mc_mc);
addChild(mc_mc);
Are there two objects added to the stage or does the last addChild method overwrite the first?
Is it possible to test if some object was added to the stage?
addChild("something") - if it was addded then......
Is there a way to keep an object above a child that is being added to the stage?
Say I have a frame on the stage and I want to add different children to the stage, but want those children to fall under the frame that is already on the stage?
The thing is, this feels so basic, and Flash Developer Tool 3 is just giving me this nonsense error! I know, it's probably not really nonsense but... I want to create a simple video object and let it play a local flv. okay, here's the error:"call to a possible undefined method attachNetStream through through a reference with 'static' type Video"What does it means? Does it means the object Video is static, and it's not supposed to be? Or does it mean the attachNetStream is static? here's the function
Code:
private function showVideo(e:MouseEvent):void {
var videoConnection:NetConnection = new NetConnection();

Okay, in as3 when you click, the object on the highest layer will be clicked on. I want someone to press the space bar and have the objects on the screen to check to see if it is touching a point.So I first tried hittest...
if (this.hitTest(myPoint)){
play();
}
Now the problem was objects behind other ones were thinking they were being "clicked" on.
I am trying to have a local shared object in flash to detect whether a user is a new user or a returning user. If they are a new user I want to do newUser function and if they are a previous user I want to do a previousUser function. This should all be happening on an onEnterFrame.
Here is my code I have so far:
//shared object - cookie
newUser_test = SharedObject.getLocal("newUser");
newUser.text = newUser_test.data.title = "new user";
newUser.text.onEnterFrame = function () {
newUser.text = "new user";
} newUser.text.onEnterFrame = function(){
newUser.text = newUser_test.data.title = "previous user";
newUser_test.flush();
}

I guess my question is pretty simple for some of the guru's here, but i gave up with this already Im writing an photo gallery application for a website, everything works just perfect, but i have the following problem: Im using the events onLoadComplete and onLoadStart to display an small popup alerting the user while the picture is downloading... so how could i check if the picture is already cached ?, so i could use an IF statment to only show the popup if the picture has not been downloaded before? This is the relevant part of the code that im using right now, it works perfect, but it shows the "loading clip" EVEN if the picture is already there
