Actionscript 3 :: Joining Sprites Together?
Nov 13, 2010
So created a Sprite to which I add other Sprites which are game tiles. Each tile is 60 x 60 px big. In result I've the Sprite with about 200 childs (those tiles).When I try to startDrag() the container sprite the lag when moving it is very noticeable..
Is there a way like to join the tile Sprites so the container would have only 1 child Sprite instead of 200? Because it lags so much probably cause it needs to move (change the x and y) all those 200 tiles.. Am I correct?In this case I can't use the cacheAsBitmap property, cause user can zoom in or zoom out the map..

how can I unite 15 swf files which placed in one folder to a one swf file? i tried all kindes of merging softwares like "Join (Merge, Combine) Multiple SWF Files Into One Software" and "WinMerge" without success and tried to convert swf to flv (cause i found other merging software for flv files) but again.I have CS5 so if i'll have to open Flash for this i will, though i'm trying to avoid that and even then i'm gonna need full instructions.

What i have on the stage are lots of balls each with there on name b1,b2,b3 etc. and i have something that is going to hit it with hitTest.
Insted of hardcoding all the balls into the hitTest i want to have a variable containing the first part of the objects name (_root.b) then add i on the the end and i would loop from 1 to how many balls are on the stage eg. 10.
so for my code at the moment I don't have a loop but using "i = 0"
Here is my code:
ActionScript Code:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
i = 1;
j = "_root.b"+i+".ball2";
[Code]......
When i trace "mcName" it shows "_root.b1.ball2" which is the correct object, but the hitTest doesn't seem to see it and fails.
If i put mcName as "_root.b1.ball2" (hardcoding it) it works.
Ive tried so many different tweaks and just can't seem to get it to do it.

i know i've seen this before, maybe on that flash experimental math site that was all black and white and had a picture of a kid swatting at some molecular looking flies? anyone remember the name of that/well anyway, what i'm trying to pull off here is like a circle of some sort, all of sudden growing a small little circle and then both of them dividing, or possibly, a two circles(modules, atoms, particles) join to be one.

I am trying to add two variables, but my AS is joining them
volume1=function(answer1){
aa=wtft*12;
aaa=wtin;[code]....
There is more to this script, but I cut it down to this in order to focus on the error, which results in a joining aa and aaa. i.e. aa=36 aaa=4 results in a=364, where what I want would be a=40

If I am to import an image and I wish to use it as a sprite or something like that; How do I remove the white areas? For example, if I was going to create a custom cursor or something like that, an I was to use this image: Image - how would I remove the white areas, so that they are transparent. I would also like to know if it is possible to set where the center of rotation in an image is?I do all my image work on Photoshop, if that is of any significance.

I'm currently building a slideshow application using the MVC pattern, as it stands the application works by going to the next picture by clicking the photo or controlling the slides with a next/prev button.
i am trying to add additional navigation so that there are thumbnails of the images loaded with XML so the user can click the image and go straight to the image clicked on.
thats easy enough i could add buttons manually with thumbnails in them but it would tedious to update the photography or artwork when it comes to increasing or reducing the number of photos.
so what i plan is that ,when the application loads it reads and counts the images Thumnails in the XML file,then the AS3 generates thumbnail icons according to the amount of images counted in the XML File, then places them on the stage in a sequence next to each on the stage. as a sequence of thumnails with can then be used to navigate around the library with more control and is easy to update simply by changing the XML file.[code]...

How can insert sprites from the IDE? When I press f8 the only options are MovieClip, Buttons and Shapes. If I export to ActionScript I can change the class to Sprite, but I want to insert a Sprite directly from the IDE.

I'm making a picture gallery. I have a thumbnail container, which contains a mask and a dynamically generated mc called "thumbnail_mc". Thumbnail_mc contains all the sprites of the thumbnails.When I click on a thumbnail, the thumbnail get's a glow filter added to it. Now, I want to remove all filters on all the other sprites before I apply that filter to the Sprite.
This is what I'm trying to do:
Code:
thumbnail_mc.children.filters = [];
How do I do that?

I'm creating visual effects using TweenLite, which currently only manages the tweens for me, can I also attach a sprite at a specific time? (using "delay")
Basically I want to use TweenLite to attach/remove sprites apart from just tweening existing objects.

I have a function that adds a player to a sprite containerwhen that player is clicked a hit test is done on the tiles surrounding that player that it can move to and put into an array.all that works fine.my problem is after I add more than one player to the stage I can only move the latest addition when I use MapInfo.player.x = (hexagon_width * .25) + hexagon_x_position-90;I thought if I used getChildByName I might get around making a custom event.but I get an Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. when I use the code below
trace(MapInfo.getPlayer);// =MapInfo.player.name
var targetisplayObject = MapInfo.player.getChildByName(MapInfo.getPlayer);
target.x = (hexagon_width * .25) + hexagon_x_position-90;

I'm having two problems. First off I'm trying to remove container0 on roll out, but I can't remove it from the outView function because it doesn't recognize it.
Second these functions load another image on top of the thumb0 and it disappears right away. I don't know why and I'm trying to stop it from loading 2 instances
var container0:Sprite;
var loader0:Loader;
var boolean0:Boolean = false;

I'm designing a calculator-like application in Flash for a school IT project. I made the layout in photoshop, and want to lay out the buttons with sprites (was just on CSS so addicted to those things xD ). I've tried googling and have found something like you can use sprites like buttons (which is good), but I can't figure out how to apply bitmaps to sprite backgrounds vs. plain colors.

As of right now, I am trying to create a tiling effect for a game I am creating. I am using a tilesheet and I am loading the tiles to the sprite like so...
this.graphics.beginBitmapFill(tileImage);
this.graphics.drawRect(30, 0,tWidth ,tHeight );
var tileImage is the bitMapData. 30 is the Number of pixels to move retangle. then tWidth and tHeight is how big the rectangle is. which is 30x30 This is what I do to change the bitmap when I role over the tile
this.graphics.clear();
this.graphics.beginBitmapFill(tileImage);
this.graphics.drawRect(60, 0,tWidth ,tHeight );
I clear the sprite canvas. I then rewrite to another position on tileImage. My problem is.... It removes the old tile completely but the new tile positions farther to the right then where the old bitmap appeared. My tile sheet is only 90px wide by 30px height. On top of that, it appears my new tile is drawn behind the old tile. Is there any better way to perfect this. again, all i want is for the bitmap to change colors

Just curious, if I have a sprite on the stage with the alpha set to 0 does that take up just as much memory as a sprite that is visible? I imagine it does because it draws the sprite to the stage and then it has to set the alpha to zero.

Im having a hard time putting in my head on how would i go at making flash read a xml file (this part I have it going smooth) and then fromt hat elements put on the stage a sprite or a movieclip that is interactive.
To make it clear I want to load and display an image that when you press it it just creates another square beneath it with some text. I believe I have to interate the xml and then use each of the elements with a class and gettin that object onto the stage.
Im using flash builder and as3 and im looking just for pointing in the rigth direction,

i created 5 pages, each of which contains several movie clips (text, graphics, forms, etc). There is one specific page however that contains autogenerated content via. sprites. If i happen to land on this page, the sprites will appear, but when i transition to another page, they are still there except for the non-sprite stuff (disappear). Im ripping my hair out on this one, i managed to get a few of the sprites to remove but some are still appearing. Below shows the layout of the one thats not being removed;

I'm trying to do something very simple: animate a bunch of sprites so that, no matter where they are on the stage, they all go toward a single point (in this case, the center of the stage).
It only works for some of them. Some of them just sit there. I can't figure out why. I think its got something to do with atan2 and the way I'm using it, but I'm not sure what.
