Actionscript 3 :: Hit Test Object Between Two Movieclips In The Same Class File
Sep 8, 2011
I'm wondering if there is a method to do a hit test object between two movieclips from the same class. The movieclips are being spawned into the stage using a for loop.
Is it possible to if(item(event.currentTarget).hitTestObeject(item(thats not being selected at the moment?))) I'm doing a drag and drop game and am trying to not let the items stack above each other when dragged to the snapping slots on the stage. If not is there other methods avaliable?

I am building an image gallery which has a very simple design. The gallery has a button area, where the buttons are movieclips, and an area where there are images, which are also movieclips.I am using flash CS3, AS3.Each time I use an eventlistener to tween the alpha value of each image (the brightness) when the button movieclip is pressed, I must call a command to reduce the value of every OTHER image that is in my gallery as well as increase the alpha value of the single image I want.This means I have a lot of typing and I was wondering if there was an easier way to manage my movieclips, such as to use the Array class or the Object class. However I can not seem to on the subject on adding a movieclip instance name and its property to a class that could store the data, or the reasonable command to select/omit other movieclips

loadXML:LoadXML = new LoadXML();
myXML:XML = new XML(loadXML.loadXMLFile("gallery.xml"));[code].....

I'm working with arrays again and i have a question for the smart I have an array with 10 references to a movie clip in my library and a timer that add one of these movie clips to the stage every second (Without removing them from the array). When the movie clips are added to the stage they will be touching another movie clip that has an instancename. I want to perform a hit test between the movie clip on the stage and the added movie clips from my array that will lead to some actions.
My question is: Is it possible to hit test the movieclips in the array with the movieclip on the stage with a few simple lines of code? I'd hate to have to give each of them an instance name. I know this is what classes are for but i really hoped i could avoide using them for this project ( stupid classes!) I'm looking for something like this in code: if any movieclip in my array hit test a specific movieclip on stage

I made a movie clip that is linked to a class named "Fugel". In the "Fugel" class I want to access the object's properties (x, y, rotation, alpha...) that I created in the main FLA file. I'm trying to center it in the constructor, but I don't know how to. The "this" keyword doesn't seem to work.
Here is the code for the "Fugel" class:
Code:
package {
import flash.display.MovieClip;
public class Fugel extends MovieClip {
public function Fugel() {

I have a dynamic textfield called neighName on my Flash stage. I also have a movieclip that I call a region on my stage. When I mouseover the region, I want a word to display in a little popup *and* I want some text to display in my textfield. I have an external .as file for handling the region. I can make the code "see" my region, but I can't seem to make it see my textfield, although no errors are being thrown.

I have the livedocs wide open and I still can't figure out how to send off multiple variables in an object (from a class) to the FLA file...[URL] The setup: I have a class that extends EventDispatcher. I created an Object called _pass, public var _pass:Object;. In my last function (everything is cool up until now), I have four variables that need to be passed to the main fla. Let's say they're param1, param2, param3, param4.
It was explained to me that I could use the public var _pass:Object; by first creating an instance of the object like so, _pass = { param1, param2, param3, param4 }; (each param is available in the function). Having setup an object instance, I could then dispatch the object to read from within my fla: dispatchEvent(new Event(Event.COMPLETE));.
But I get these errors:
1084: Syntax error: expecting colon before comma.
1083: Syntax error: rightbrace is unexpected.
As the livedocs show, you can use an associative array (with braces and a colon), but I don't need that. I just need to pass my variables that are pre-made to the FLA.

In my platform game my character shoots bullets from a gun,these bullets are loaded from a 'bullet' class. A new instance of this class has the variable name 'bulletVar'. I can adjust the bullets x and y position like so:
bulletVar.x = 253;
But I also want to use it in a hitTestObject, I thought that the following code would work, but it does not!
stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, hitEnemy);
function hitEnemy(event:Event):void
{
if (bulletVar.hitTestObject(enemy_mc))
[code]....
Here's my code to call a bullet:
var bulletVar:bullet = new bullet();
this.addChild(bulletVar);

I have a test.fla with a document class associated, say DocTestClass.as. Normally I load the test.swf and DocTestClass is automatically instantiated. But I'm curious. What if I make some other instances of DocTestClass, with pure code, without loading the swf? What are the implications or possibilities?
In fact these questions in turn come from another original question: is it meaningful to make a document class a singleton? Or a document class (as I suspect..) cannot be instantiated more than once and so it's implicitly a singleton?

Im tring to remake most of my projects that i've created so far in class's and packages but it seems to be a mission.
I have the gameMain_Controls class which is the linkaged to the actually fla.
then i have a custom cursor class and a char class the gameMain_Controls pulls objects into the stage as children of the background fron the char class.
now my problem is to get the cursor to hittest of mouse over and at least do a trace out put:
code im trying at the moment which is also in a different class ...called the rollOver_Controls:
if (flap_Control.flap.hitTestObject(Dino_Control.layla))
{
trace("lal hit");
}
[Code]....
but the hittest jsut never occurs im guessing the problem is which the location of the object, the container i mean ...but when i try to link it that way i get even more problems

Basically I'm trying to use localConnection to determine if two or more instances of the same swf are running. If I set this code up on the main timeline of the fla it works:
ActionScript Code:
var conn:LocalConnection = new LocalConnection();
conn.client = this;
try {
[code]....
Then it fails, all instances print 'connected'

I'm having some troubles with the use of interface and inheritance in AS3. I've done lots of OOP in the past and what I'm trying to do seems obvious to me, but doesn't work in AS3. The question is : Is it possible to override a function that return an Object of class A, and make it return an Object of Class B which extends A ? It seems not to be possible, since I'm getting a signature error in Flash, when compiling. For example, the following set of class do not compile (the code in function definition doesn't matter):

Is there a way to test collision with a child of an object?eg.
ActionScript Code:
obj1.hitTestObject(obj2.childObj1)
obj1 and obj2 are on the same level of hierarchy.
I am trying to test when an object collides with a particular location of another object so i made a 1x1 movieclip (childObj1) and placed it inside obj2 at that particular position.

I have a class CoverPoint extends Pointwith some extra function.except for that ther is no difference. I would like to use the functions of Point with a return value of Point, to calculate those CoverPoints.Can i turn the return value into CoverPoint (since all the vars are the same, there shouldn't be a problem with that, right?), so that it can be stored in my var cP:CoverPoint;

Assume I know practically nothing about AS3! I'm using Flash Pro CS5. I'm trying to reassociate a flash file I've been given with its external assets and classes. In the library I have a movieclip with linkage to a class called 'StaticMap' using the base class 'flash.display.MovieClip'. am I missing a custom class file called 'StaticMap.as' that was originally located in the same folder as the fla, or is this a generic class accessible to all movieClips from within Flash?

I have created a website with 3 pages One of the pages has a scrollbar that scrolls images inside a masked box.I created its functionality with 2 classes externally, the scrollbar and scrollbox movieClips are linked to these classes in properties.Now it scrolls when I test the fla,but it fails to scroll when I test the whole website.
>the classes are in the same directory as my project
