Actionscript 3 :: HitTestPoint Always Returns False For One Function
Sep 18, 2011
I have a movieclip I drawn, called Map. It has a child with the name Wall. I'm trying to make a function that returns a 2d tile array of if there is something in that tile or not, for pathfinding. The problem is, levelGrid is entirely false. I'm not sure what I am doing wrong. I have filled the whole movieclip (Wall) with bright red, and yes it still returns false. The x and y of both Map and Wall is 0, so I don't think there should be issues with hitTestPoint accepting global x / y.

I have a load file and a write to file method. We all know what they do. How ever load always returns true and write always returns false....Right there you know somethings wrong. Because The forums have an issue with me posting code...I posted it here: [URL] Based on this code what is the issue here? why is write always returning false and why is load always returning true? (even for files that do not exist). My understanding is that if flash cannot find the file it should write to it will create it and if it cant load said file, then that method should return false.

I have six objects which are on the stage when my game loads up. I have stored them in an array in my Document class. Occassionaly I run through this array and check if something has hit these objects and remove them if so. i don't actually remove them from the array though. I'm finding though that even after these objects have been removed from the stage, the hittestpoint still returns true when something crosses the area where these objects once where?! Doesn't the object have to be there for hitTestPoint to return true?

I'm triyng to get the browsers back-button to work with my flash site. The general principle is this:There is an index.html page containing an (not yet) hidden Iframe and the flash movie.The Iframe contains page A, which starts with JavaScript calling a BACK-function on the index-page.The BACK-function triggers an AS-function in the flash-movie that activates its own back-button, and then changes the URL of the Iframe to Page B. This causes a new History to be added to the browser.The flash movie now contains 5 frames (labeled in the middle of the stage) and two navigation buttons: back (Terug) and forward (Verder). Those buttons do exactly what you'd expect them to do (prevFrame and nextFrame).On a PC (IE) this seems to work pretty well. But on a mac nothing seems to work propperly.Here's the code I have on the first frame.
stop();
_root.terug.onRelease = function(){
prevFrame();

I am currently making a program to upload certain files onto a web server and I have come accross a problem.In my code I've got:
ActionScript Code:
if(fileRef.upload(new URLRequest("http://www.mackaygymnastics.org.au/administrator/upload.php"))) {
[code]...
Now I understand that this is returned because the upload function returned a false, but why is it returning this false. Is this because the URLRequest is wrong or the uplaod file is wrong or something else? I've tried looking all over the web for another case and it doesn't give me one.

I am trying to write my code as efficient as possible and I have a scenario
[code]...
Now this piece of code never reaches the else condition. I want it to go to "else" condition as soon as either one of those initial 4 values returns false.
Which operator would do the job or am I missing something else entirely?

Which one is more efficient? Or is there even a noticeable difference? I did tests of a circle moving closer to a square and stopping when hitTestPoint returns true. The square was at 0 and the circle was at 500. My first test I did using hitTestPoint the entire time, my second test I did by checking the distance (Pythagorean Theorem way) and if it's below 50 then check with hitTestPoint.
I compared the FPS of each test but they were the same at 30 FPS with 200 circles and at 11-12 FPS with 500 circles. I thought the first test would be slower because I was testing every pixel the entire time while the second test I was only calculating the distance for the most part before testing every pixel.

I've got an object inside an object. The child object basically loads a variable from SQL into one of it's own public variables. The SQL works 100%, because it traces out correctly.Now I've wrote a function from the child.as
Code:
public get_var() : String
{
return var_yes_friggin_work;[code].....;
Of course the files arn't called Parent.as and Child.as I've just had to rename them because our work is monitored though checking the internet and I can't delete this form.The FilePathOriginal doesn't output anything unless the string is manually set from the child, does anyone know where I'm going wrong here? (I can't upload all my code because of the monoriting process)

I'm talking about the div(X,Y) function in C which returns the number of times X is reduced by Y. if you're confused, I'm talking about this:
div(30,5) returns 6 (30 is reduced 6 times by 5)
div(34,7) returns 4 (you can reduce 30 by 7 four times, leaving 6 behind)
Is there such a function?

ActionScript Code:
public function draw():Card{
return deck.pop(); //deck = array of Card
}
Does not work. Firstly it runs an error which says
"cannot convert [] to Card"...
Shouldn't it pop() return just ONE element?
Then I correct like this
ActionScript Code:
public function draw():Card{
return deck.pop() as Card;
//deck = array of Card
}
And now I get no errors but the function returns null.... why? If I try this:
ActionScript Code:
public function draw():void{
trace(deck.pop());
//deck = array of Card
}
It prints [Object Card] which is how it should be ....

I have a simple code that seems to be giving strange results.
var startPoint:Point = new Point(x, y); // a point
var r:Number = path[i].row + (-Math.floor((length * 2 + 2) / 2)); // just some math
trace(r); // the math checks out and gives a 3
var tey = startPoint.y + r; //this gives a really strange return....

Today I've received a small ActionScript 3 application that I need to have a look at and make some changes to.I've noticed that the entire application is riddled with the return keyword, eg:
// Constructor
public function MyClass()
{
// some logic[code].....
Is there a possible reason for this, or is the developer who worked on this using some weird, self-taught practice?

So, in my main mxml, i have a variable defined as such:
[Bindable] public var studentsListDict:Dictionary = new Dictionary;
I also have the following imported:
[code]...
Unfortunately, the getStudentName function simply returns undefined every time.It wasn't working b/c you can't have numbers as keys in a dictionary. Simply casting them to a string during the declaration and look up seems to work just fine.

I'm trying to get a quick replay command, "pressing space returns the scene to the previous frame".
[Code]...
The current function returns me to a previous frame (40), however the event does not stop, rather it keeps on adding new events ontop of each other once it returns to main frame. The main frame being where the actionscript is executed.

I'm having with a menu navigation system. I'm using Flash MX. I have created a menu system for the site I'm building ([URL]) where one of the buttons "Choose photographer" drops down a list of names. All the other buttons just jump to another page. The drop down is currently using tweens also the logo moves to the left as the dropdown appears and returns when the dropdown returns. All working fine apart from its a bit jerky.
It's I just wanted to get away from tweening and use action scripts instead, as I'm a newbie to all things Flash I trawled the net for tutorials and examples so that I could cobble together the exact same effect. I have managed to get the drop down work and return using the action script and it does seem smoother and works slightly better. But can I get the logo to move to the left and back in time with the drop down...no.
