Actionscript 3 :: Multiple (different) Objects From One Constructor In Flash?
Mar 20, 2011
I have to create a game in flash for school. I'm kind of stuck, however. I know an approach that might work, but I'm wondering if there isn't a way to do it all-in-one. Here goes.
I have a start screen with 4 buttons. These buttons all link to different levels, and they all have a different image. Let's call them btn1 btn2, .. btn4. I made a class called 'GameButton':
[Code]...
The other approach I see is to create four different button classes and link each of them to a different button, but then I'd have to create for files for something really simple, which seems like a lot of trouble for well.. just adding a button.
EDIT: I just realised this might be a stupid question. However, isn't there a way to like make a constructor for an empty button, then maybe add a symbol to it?

Is it possible to pass constructor arguments to instance objects which I place on the stage? Are the instantiations of instance objects centralized somewhere as with .NET WinForms so I can just edit the xxx = new CustomRecangle() constructor?
public class CustomRectangle extends MovieClip {
public function CustomRectangle(width:int, height:int) {
this.width = width;
this.height = height;
}
}

I currently have an over, out and click event for 8 different objects. The over and out events are identical for each (tween expands object and then shrinks it back for the out state).I have previously asked for an easy way to declare those events, and now I was looking for an easier way to handle them.
Here's my code:
//-----------GARAGE
function growGarage(e:MouseEvent):void{
scaleTweenX = new Tween(map_garage, "scaleX", Elastic.easeOut, 0.648, 1, 0.5, true);
[code]....
I've tried using a single function and then using "this" as the object of the tween but that expanded the entire stage.

I have a rather general question regarding OOP. How do constructor functions execute with multiple class extensions? I'm making an orbital physics simulation, and every spatial body is of the class SpaceObject, which extends Sprite. Then, I have all earth-type planets be of the class Earth, which extends SpaceObject. There are certain parameters that I'd like to set for every single SpaceObject (like position and size) in the constructor function, and certain parameters (like density and mass) that I'd like to set in the constructor of class Earth.But from the main timeline, when I create an instance of class Earth, I can only enter the parameters of the Earth constructor, ie
Code:
var planet1:Earth = new Earth(density, mass)
Or I can create an instance of SpaceObject:

I'm planning to add a page to my site that would have sample music from a variety of artists. There would be several sentances about the musician, then a free Flash mp3 player I'm using. I'm planning at least a dozen of these on the page. I didn't anticipate any problems, but a page where I had done something similar suddenly stopped working. Nothing I've tried will fix it. I don't want to go ahead until I find out if there are details I need to know about having multiple Flash objects on a page. Here's a link to the page that broke ... supposed to be a second instance of the player below the paragraph that talks about Ramblin' Jack Elliott ... instead there's just space ...

im creating a small drag and drop game in AS3-
I have 4 objects and 4 targets,
I want to be able to drag any of the 4 objects onto any of the targets, right now all I can manage is to allow each object drop onto one specific target only.
I thought by calling all my target names by the same instance name eg target_mc that would work but only one target will ever work.

I'm working on a game right now where I'm going to have paths dynamically built by the user for multiple AI objects to "walk" along. I'll be detecting/redrawing the path only on user input but I'm still debating over the fastest possible method to update the movement of many AI objects "walking" along/up/down the given path. Think for example of pac man, but the level is dynamic. Right now I'm leaning toward building the enemies in a linked list of final classes and looping through the linked list calling a function in each of the AI objects to plot the next move along the path.

I'm trying to create a sort of tree diagram such that, if you click on one of the circles, its child circles spread outward with some degree of randomness from the original circle, connected by lines. I have this working, but now what I want to do is make sure that none of the circles collide with each other and none of the lines criss cross. You can see the screenshot for what is currently happening. My code is below. How do I change this code so that it checks for collisions and avoids them? I've read up on flash's hitTestObject command, but that only works in the context one object to another. I want to test for one object contacting any display object.
import com.greensock.TweenMax;
var sw = stage.stageWidth;
var sh = stage.stageHeight;

I would like to know if I can get an error or some other problems when I try to tween several objects like this and using an onComplete-property:[code]:What I want to do is fade out several objects at once and when they finished a special function gets called. Are there other possibilities when using tweenlite available or do I have to use timelinelite?

I tried something interesting recently. I had code effecting an object with the instance name : object_mc.Now I added another object and gave it the same instance name.The result was, that the code only effected the most recent added object (no error).Is there a way in flash to have multiple objects with the same instance name all being affected by one piece of code?

I'm attempting to create a graphical representation of the microphone activity in flash for a conference.
I got a movieclip called eqNotch that's just a rectangle and its linkage name is EqNotch.I also have a movieclip where I am writing my as3 on the first frame, its called dynamicBar and linkage name is DynamicBar.
I've successfully written the code for the dynamicBar to create one column of eqNotches and the number of rows is dependent on mic activity.[code]...

I am creating a program that is effectively an sprite creator. I'm very new to AS3, but I know JQuery, JS, PHP, etc. After going through multiple steps of selecting pieces to customize a character, you are supposed to be able to download the final product using fileReference(). Everything works, and I can download the image in the end, but the problem is that I cannot capture all of several movieclips on the stage, I can only capture one. Maybe this will help clarify:
[Code]...
Could it be that each of the movieclips I'm adding to the sprite have children of their own?

If you wanted to create a client-side Flash-based sound editor that lets you load more than 1 sound to an interface that allows you to manipulate the individual positions of the sounds, and mix/play them in real time, how would you accomplish this?
I'm looking to create a simple version that can mix 2 mp3s, allowing the user to adjust the positions of each. Sort of a dumbed down version of Aviary's Myna audio editor.
At the end of the mixing, I would also like our server to mix the 2 mp3 files with the proper positioning into 1 mp3 file...

I have need to simultaneously move a slider (called "shadeGrabber") movie clip and a mask. I'd like to do this by dragging the slider and seeing the mask move with it.
The example movie clip on the left (called "PICTURE_WIPE") is what I'm going for, but interactive instead. I'm working in the movie clip on the right (called "PICTURE_WIPE copy 2")
Here's my code, for quick reference (found on the "AS" in the "PICTURE_WIPE copy 2" movie clip:

I am building a scrolling image bar, so I've created code that works perfect on one object. However, I need this code to apply to multiple objects at once so that they will move left and right and resize independently from each other (to give this sort of 3d revolving look). Other boxes will be to left and right of the current black box. Code is below as well as link.
Code:
function mousetracker(object){
boxstartx=object._x;
boxstartwidth=object._width;

I am creating a small game for a project im doing it is only ten levels long but I wish to include feature such as saving etc. I have one some research on Shared Objects and it seems to be the best method. The idea I wish to execute is to have at the end of a level after reaching the levels goal have a piece of code that runs and saves that the next level has been unlocked. This seems relatively simple. However i have done things awkwardly i think, instead of creating the whole game within a single fla. each level is a seperate file, eg. level1.fla, level2.fla etc. Is it possible to use the same shared object across multiple .fla's?

I call a function with some saved animation code where I just need the selected (mouse clicked) object to animate. On the first occasion when you click the object, that object animates just fine. The problem is, if you click another object, that new object and the prior one(s) you clicked on all animate as well.[code]

I have a bullet movieclip and it moves. I've put a hitTest on its onEnterFrame so that it checks if it hits its target, whose instance name is mmbug and the target flies around. That's easy and works cool.[URL]there's only one wasp present at a time and it works)Now what I want to do is duplicate the wasps so there are more flying around at one time, but how would I do the hitTest on the bullet then, because you have to specify it an exact instance name. If I make all the wasps have the same instance names it doesn't work.So obviously I'd have to give them names of mmbug1, mmbug2, mmbug3 etc. But how would I check on the hitTest if it hits any of them, since you have to put in an exact instance name in the hitTest?
