Actionscript 3 :: Getting Objects At Offscreen Points
Mar 31, 2012
I'm creating something like a randomly generated maze in flash. For this, I fill the game space with blocks, and then have an algorithm that deletes certain connecting blocks to form a path.When I generate the blocks, flash has no problem with putting them in offscreen points like (-1000, -1000), but then when I try to delete them afterwards to form a path, stage.getObjectsUnderPoint() returns nothing for these points.How do I get objects under a point if they are not on the screen?

How does flash player handle objects when they are no longer on the visible stage? Is the graphical data still in memory? Does hittestobject/point consider them? Are enterframe and interval events still running?
In AS2 I would hold metaobjects (minimal x,y,width,height data) that would delete/create movieclips as the screen scrolled. Is this still a correct approach in AS3? If not, is there anything I can do to offstage display objects that improves efficiency, assuming around 400 are created initially?

For some reason I'm having trouble designating where my registration points are on my objects. When I create new objects the option is simply not there. Also, when I'm doing some actionscripting, my text does not change colors, even though I've set it to do so...

I have a main menu box that contains navigation buttons. This box can be dragged anywhere on the screen. If i want a button to move that box to a certain x and y point, no matter where it is at anytime, how can i script this?

I've always struggled with this sort of stuff, dunno why:
I'm making a vertically scrolling menu with a series of thumbnails. The thumbnails are of various widths& heights. They also have registration points in inconsistent places (ie, not always the same). I want to scale and position the thumbs so that they are all central to the containing menu section. It's probably something to do with adding a container sprite/mc and stuff but I've messed about with it and nowt works.

I am developing a mini flash game. Player control character and move left and right to collect money coin. There are 5 points that money and bomb release and move from top to bottom. When character collide with money then increase money else hit bomb age increase by 1. Once the age is 99, the game is over and the money is the final scores
Here is my code:
package Class {
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.events.KeyboardEvent;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import flash.media.Sound;
[Code] .....
This is my Game:
Currently, the bomb and money random appear X, 100 with 15 money and 10 bombs in a screen.
What I want is, how to amend it become money and bomb appear from specific point, after that the money and bomb when hit the wall will bounce back.
An example similar game play with my game is [URL].

I'm building a fullscreen flash website. I have objects moving from offscreen to the center of the stage and from the center to offscreen. I use a simple onResize listener to keep everything centered when the user resizes the stage. I'm using the MC Tween engine for all my tweens and they are all coded relative to the size of the stage.
[Code]...
Everything works great EXCEPT if the user resizes the stage while a tween is in motion. How do I update the tweens end value to the appropriate location?

we have this game where you control an avatar in the middle of the stage that defends itself from incoming projectiles. If it hits them with its arms or legs you get a +1, but if they hit the head or torso you get a -1. But cant figure out how to spawn them randomly along a given path. See picture below. Want them to come in from the sides but have the same "destination-area" - which would be the head & torso.

I have background elements that slide left and right on the stage depending on where the mouse is on stage. If I take focus off the browser, like if I decide to check my email or open another tab in Firefox, when returning to my flash movie, all the elements have moved off the stage, and when focus is put on the stage, will slide back to the correct position.
I'm using an event listener on the stage to detect mouse movement...
ActionScript Code:
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, parallax);
The function is below is trimmed down example of the function I use...
ActionScript Code:
function parallax(event:MouseEvent) :void {
distFromCenter = (stage.stageWidth / 2) - mouseX;

Tweener is a tween engine used for the movements,

I have been tasked with trying to create a drawing tool that draws dotted lines as you drag the mouse across the stage. I can easily capture the points on MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE and store them in a vector and then draw the points as dots:
The problem is that I need to calculate evenly distributed points on an ever growing Vector of points so I can only draw the line between say every 5th point (say using modulus). I have been battling away with Bezier curve equations both Quadratic and Cubic but still can't quite figure out how to convert my Vector of points into an evenly distributed Vector of Points without sucking the life from the CPU.

I am trying to create a mindmap where the user can drag points about the screen. I have gotten as far as drawing the line via actionscript, and drag+drop the points (defined as movie clips on stage). This is the existing script - I don't know how to get the lines to follow the points. Something to do with ENTER_FRAME or updateAfterEvent?
var line:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
line.graphics.lineStyle(1,1);
line.graphics.moveTo(ptOne.x,ptOne.y);

Internally Flash obviously keeps a list of the primitives drawn using Graphics so I wondered if you have many such primitives in a Sprite, can you re-position/remove/alter individual items rather than clear and re-draw everything? Or is this deeper into the bowels of Flash than you're allowed (or recommended) to go?

I'm using Zend AMF to send my remote objects to Flex. I've defined a Constant class and created getASClassName() method. Then I've created Action script class in flex.
Objects are send successfully, but they are deserialized to generic Objects in Flex instead of specific ones. EDIT: On network monitor in Flex I can see that AMF value is set to com.my.project.valueobjects.Constant. Although array from event.result contains Objects.

I have an array of temporary objects created in a for loop. The objects are of type class "Tile", a class I created. However, it appears that whenever I create a lot of tiles in the for loop, the program slows down indefinitely.
While the array is whiped at a later trigger point, I am thinking that perhaps these Tile objects are not being erased from memory. They are being created on the fly in a for loop, and the array is being reset to "array = []".
Are the objects still in memory or are they cleaned up when the array is set to []?

What I have is a game with a Level object, inside the Level is a Player object, and they don't have instance names given, what I'm trying to figure out is how to do is make it so that the player can change the x or y properties of the Level object.
To be more precise, I'm making it so that when the player moves in a certain direction, he either moves accross the stage, or he starts moving the Level object around the stage, it'd be in an Event kind of function, now I can easily make the Player move, but I don't know how to make the Level object move which the player is inside of.

I have a service which returns an Array of ObjectProxy objects. I would like to cast this to a custom object (a value object) and create an ArrayCollection. How can I do this?ited:I am using Django and PyAMF for the backend. I had to write a custom SQL query and I am wrapping the resulting records in ObjectProxy and sending the whole result as an ArrayCollection.Here is my client side code:
[ArrayElementType("SessionVO")]

I will try to give as much detail as I can. I am creating an CRM application using Flex(Cairngorm 2)/Java/Hibernate. The basic problem I am having is this: I have a Customer class in Java that has an ArrayList of Address classes. I have a Customer class in Flex that has an ArrayCollection of Address classes. When I make the remote object call for a Customer I get back a Customer object in Flex, but the ArrayCollecion objects have a data type of Object instead of Address. If I try to call for a List of Address classes I get the same result. If I try to call for a List of Customer classes I get a list of Customer classes in Flex. Using tomcat 6 with the following jars:

How do I align a movieclip, which width and height is user-defined, inside another object (this one is static, though). Top-left alignment is easy, x=0 and y=0, but what about center, center left, bottom left, etc? Math(.round) i suppose, but how?I want an object (static) inside the movieclip (user-defined) to stay aligned to, for instance, the top right corner, similiar to the minimize, maximize and close buttons at the top right of your browser.. The height and width data is pre-defined by the user in another file.But that does probably not make any difference...

I want to create a flash movie which firstly loads a selection of images/objects into a portion of the frame. After this is complete, the user can then drag these objects onto another area and the object will be created where the user has chosen. The user can then drag another instance of the ojects onto the area.
For example, there is a background of a lake in one area. A selection of boat pngs are loaded in an area below the lake. The user can drag these boats and place them on the lake. They can drag a boat multiple times if they wish.

I have two movie-clips, one is small-box and another is big-box .Both are rectangular shape. Small- box has an index 0, and big-box has an index 1. Their x,y are same and big-box being big in size gets hide small-box. Now the problem is the listener attached to small-box does not fire as big-box is on the top of small-box. what would be the way to get listener fired when click on small-box area??

I have drawn colored rods which I have placed in the library and have put one of each on the stage with instance names likeblueRod_mc, etc.I place them around with time-line code like
blueRod_mc.x = 300.0;I have now created an Actionscript class called Problem.I build a new object from Problem which I have called Riddle.But when I put blueRod_mc.x = 300.0 in a method (of Problem),I get the message that blueRod is not accessible.So I triedstage.blueRod_mc.x = 300.0;That did not work either.

When I copy layers and edit the objects on stage, the objects also change in the other layer(s).
How do I duplicate a layer so that I can modify it with the objects in the old layer being unaffected? There must be a really easy way?

I am following a good tutorial here:URl...And it uses the following example file to display an embedded FLV movie:URL...I am having a problem editing the cue points. If I open the compenent inspector for the FLVPlayback, and then open the cuePoints dialog, I should be able to add, remove, or modify cue points. However, I can't edit anything in the dialog at all. It seems locked.The tutorial clearly states you should be able to edit the points.
