Actionscript 3 :: Flash Game Ai - Path OR Automatic Movement
Aug 16, 2011
I am creating a flash game and I've hit a problem I have four objects, lets call them img1 through img4 I need them to move around a maze, witch is made up of blocks (maze.wall.block1 to block53) I have seen tutorials on creating a path however these all involve the object to be added to the stage, where as I am doing it in a as3 class. So my question is either: How can I create a path manualy on the stage, then create an object to follow the path in the as3 class, OR how can I add very simple ai to the img object to move around but change direction when the hitTestObject triggers on the maze.wall.blocks?

I need to take control of how my base game class updates:
package {
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.events.KeyboardEvent;
public class Test extends Sprite {
private var sprite:Sprite;
[Code] .....
Here after every key press/release AS3 takes care of automatically drawing a sprite onto screen, but I need to do this manualy. Haw to get my hands on updating mechanism here? I need something like this - all time repeating game loop that is set to be updated/redrawn every time at its end.

I'm doing the shooting game. In that character should move left and right by using the arrow keys. The background is movieClip with image. The character is walking very slow sometimes. And the zombies will come automatically. Why the movement is very slow sometimes?

I am a beginner to flash gaming. I am making a platform game, but can not reverse my character when he goes backwards. This is my code for left and right: if (Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)) {_x += speed;} if (Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)) {_x -= speed;} How Can I reverse it so when it goes LEFT, the character turns all the way around?

I know how to do motion guides, but now I also want to control this movieclip with actionscript code, so that I modify the x and y properties, but STILL restrict the position of the movieclip only to that motion guide. I see that once I modify the x or y properties, the movieclip jumps off the motion guide

I'm making a game that involves spaceships following waypoints. Rather than making them move straight to a waypoint,turning, and then moving straight to the next one, it'd be nice to have them follow some sort of bezier curve/path along all of the waypoints.

Is it possible to draw motion guide/path for a mouse position based movement?
For example if I have path the is like letter H. I would need to write many clauses/conditions for the borders of the movement. It would be a LOT easier if there would be some solution that makes the object always to stay on the defined path when moving..

I have a character in a game that moves in accordance with keyboard commands.. I'd like to have it so that when the character moves on the stage his legs simulate walking. Meaning.. when moving right, his legs rotate counter clockwise. But since there are two moving at the same time, one moves forward to a point while the other moves back to a point (the legs don't circle over his head), I need a conditional statement that indicates that when his leg's rotation is greater than 149, it reverses direction until its at a certain point, then moves back.. The below code is for one leg.
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, onLoop);
function onLoop(evt:Event): void{
if (Bear.Leg.rotation >=149){
Bear.Leg.rotation -=1;}
else {Bear.Leg.rotation +=1;}
I know why this doesn't work, it passes 149 and then moves back until it's below 149 and gets stuck in a loop. I need it so that the first statement gets overrided then flips back to it later. How can I do this?

I'm sorry if this is the wrong section. But I'm looking for help with my actionscript coding. I'm fairly new to Flash. I've only scripted some simple websites so far and this is the first time I try to make a flash game. I started yesterday but I'm already having problems with my script.
I have a scene with 2 layers: one with my character and one with the bounds (ground, ceiling and walls).
Inside my character movie clip, I have this: Which is basically a bunch of frames labeled and with the action to stop();. Each one containing another movie clip with the respective animations. So the idea was, when I press "A", jump to "walk left". And it kinda worked, but I have some problems and I'm not really sure how to solve them.

Im using Actionscript 3.0 and Adobe flash professional CS5 Im trying to animate a characters movement in a game im designing..Theres 8 differnt instances im going to use for the movement, I decided this upon studying NES zelda and finding his character only has 8 differnt instances for his general movement. See I want the graphics to be pixelated, just like the old games~ I like pixel games.
for example:Whenever I press the LEFT ARROW key I want two instances to switch back and forth between eachother to animate movement, and so I want it to keep doing that until movement is stopped~ as goes the same with the UP, DOWN, and RIGHT arrow keys.

I'm relatively new to creating games, however I've been a flash website developer (and designer) for over 7 years, and am used to OOP and AS2 Event-based programming. It was a bit tough to swallow the one-global function runs everything method but it all seems to be going fine now. The only problem I'm having right now is my math, and character movement and interaction.Also figuring out hitTests when the player punches, seeing as how you might have multiple hitTests be true, yet I want only those in the front row to receive damage.
Here's what I'm working on: http:[url].....
What I would like it to do, is for the enemies to swarm, but not walk "through" each other.Because the player only has his fists to defend himself (stipulation of the game unfortunately), they need to start far away, but then come up to the player's range and then mosy about in front of the player, jabbing him from time to time. The only thing, is that currently they look like paper dolls, because they move through each other, and the movement isn't very good either. This will allow the player to punch away their health until theirs none left, starting the new wave. my first big problem is the enemy movement and interaction with each other in a simulated 3d environment.The second would be how to get the player to deal damage to them, how can you tell that he punched the guy in the front row, etc.

Here is my pool game engine done in Box2dFlash.I would like to make this simulation more realistic as I received mixed opinion from pool experts.Here is my standard wall setting:
var leftWall = _sim.addBox({x:0.9, y:8.15, width: 0.6, height: 11.5, density: 0, fillAlpha: wallAlpha, lineAlpha: wallAlpha});
And of the ball:
_solidBall_7 = _sim.addCircle({x:ballPosX - (ballRadius * 5) - 0.8, y:ballPosY, radius:ballRadius, density: 0.1, linearDamping: 1, isBullet: true, restitution: 0.7, angularDamping: 5, skin: Solid_Bordo});
What other params I might try to improve the realistic movement of the pool game?

I am currently creating a game similar to cafe world, farmville etc (social game). Would like to know how could I make an object move in an isometric direction when my mouse move. For example, when I want to build a house, I click on the house build button, and when my mouse move, I want my house object (stored in the library) to be move together with my mouse in an isometric direction. To give you all a better impression of the solution i am looking for, click on this link for a sketch: [URL]. So I want something like only when my mouse move 20 units more than the original mouse position, then my house item should move to the next grid.

Any simple path finding method for my isometric game im making. The game consists of a character in a 7x7 isometric grid and you can buy items from the shop and you would be able to pick up and set down the items but I know how to do that what I need is to find a way lets say theres an item using a tile and I click further from that tile the character would need to walk around it ill do all the _rooting for where the character faces and stuff I just need a simple way to let my character know how to walk around stuff heres where my games at : (not done, my character can walk but with a cheap algorithm I made, he cant even walk everywhere ) [URL]

I want to make a simple frame by frame path branching game. The problem is that I know that writing in and filling in EVERY FRAME going all along for EVERY CHOICE PATH would be an insanely tedious amount of work. My basic project is reminiscent of japanese visual novels, and I've been looking for turtorials to help me with this style of role playing games, but all of the tutorials concentrated on the adventure RPGs. : Being a novice at Actionscript, past working buttons to make it go to the next frame and stopping it, I was wondering if its possible to make a choice you make earlier in the game affect it later. Such as, you keep following the game normally afterwards, but depending on your choice you'll go to a different scene later. basically, this way I'd like to eliminate the need to make two duplicate paths with only minor variances to show the changes for some choices. Another thing that I would like to know if its possible to do, though this is less important, as I have yet to look for these things and I'm sure I can find them but a save/load system, easy to find I'm sure. And an unlocking system. Something so that once they hit a certain CG I can unlock it in a 'memories' menu on a main screen.

the same class is passed to the mxmlc compiler in SWF library as a symbol linkage class and again in a source-path. But the compiler uses the definition from the source-path so creating new instance of that class won't create new instance of the library symbol. How do I tell the compiler to prefer the definition linked to the symbol (the one dfrom SWC)?
I have my design assets in an FLA file and they are linked to classes (e.g. [URL]. Then I export those assets to a SWC library and pass it to the compiler. Now when I create an instance of the class (new MyAsset();) it will be a new instance of the library object.
But there are other classes too in the source folder (e.g. "com.myproject.model.*" so I need to pass the source folder to the compiler too. And that is the problem, now the compiler will use the MyAsset.as definition from the source path, not from the SWC where it is assigned to the library object so if I create new instance of MyAsset now it won't duplicate the library object.

On my homepage I want a video and when the video has ended, the user gets redirected to the next page. So far I've got my video in flv format, imported it into Flash CS4 and the added video control thing. I've then exported the movie and imported it into Dreamweaver CS3. I can get it working on my website.

got stuck trying to design an automatic vertical text scroller. Here is what I set out to do:
- Have a news ticker like box through which text will be vertically scrolling.
- The textual content will come from an external text file.
- The text in the external file will also have click-able html links.
- When the mouse enters the content area, the scrolling would stop.
- If any link is visible in the content area at that time, the user will be able to click on it.
- When the mouse leaves the content area, the scrolling would continue.
Basically, it's an html marquee which you see in so many pages these days.
The following was my approach to solving the problem. Got very close and then got stuck
- I created a Dynamic Textbox and have it load from the external file. The dynamic textbox has multiline and autoSize set to true. So the size of it grows depending on the content from the external file.
- Next, converted the "textbox with external loading" into a movie clip and named it content_mc.
- Created a rounded rectangle (my viewing area) and converted that to a movie clip called mask_mc.
- On the stage, the content_mc is in one layer (content) and the mask_mc is in another layer (mask).
- Added another layer (action) and on the first frame of the main timeline, I entered the Action Script to set the mask_mc as the mask for content_mc.
- Also in this AS, I align the content_mc top with the mask_mc top so that the content is visible at the start.Then in the content layer, I inserted a movie clip "controller". This clip has two frames and all it does is it moves the _root.content_mc up by a fixed unit until the bottom of content_mc is over the mask_mc top. At that point, it sets the top of the content_mc back to the top of mask_mc.
Since I have little to no flash training, you can understand my excitement when the above steps worked and I got a fairly smooth scrolling text fitted in my viwing window. I could also click on all the links in my text. Yayyy!Then I took on the task of making the scroll stop and resume on mouse enter and leave event. What I did was:
- In the action script on the action layer, I simply defined two content_mc.onRollOver and content_mc.onRollOut functions. In the first I stop the controller movie clip and in the second, I play the controller movie clip.
The above strategy also worked as I wanted but it created a new problem! Whenever the mouse enters the mask area, the mouse pointer turns into a clicking hand cursor (the one you use to click on links); and it doesn't allow me to click on any of the html links anymore! It's almost as if the content_mc movie clip has turned into a button!
Regardless to say, this is unacceptable in my case if I cannot click on the html links in the original text content. I have googled quite a bit and must admit that I haven't had much luck (why else would I be posting here and other places?). I desperately need someone's assistance with solving this. Some of the approaches I have seen on google wouldn't work for me. For example, having invisible buttons for the html links. Of course that wouldn't work since my text is coming from an external text file over which I have no control.
