I need to create an animated character that can run across the screen. The page(s) are HTML pages and are separate from the Flash file I want to create. The SWF would be used on a bunch of pages.
View 2 Repliestrying to create a character selection screen type thing works fine on my computer but when i load it to internet characters dont load up dont understand why? characters and profile images are external image files so i think that reason why its not working is because the swf is trying to display the image before its properly loaded up
im thinking perhaps if i add some sort of bytes total/bytes loaded script where its trying to load up and display the image it will check if the image is fully loaded before it tries to display the image.
I need to make a interactive animated character, that would react to clicks in certain places, but instead of bitmap/vector animations, there would be video clips embeded in the swf. The video clips would be played in various combinations.Let me give you a example.
Start: A looped video of a person idling.
Start/hotspot1: The looping video fades-out, and a video of a person jumping up fades-in, plays, then fades-out back to the loop.
I have to embed the videos, so that there won't be any buffering. I tryed to embed the video, and use commands like gotoAndPlay(), gotoAndStop(), play(), stop(), but if I have more than one embeded video I start having problems controlling the clips.Here's one of my unsuccessfull attempts:
Clicking on the HS1, should fade-out VIDEO1, fade-in VIDEO2/play it/fade-out, and fade-in VIDEO1 again.
I have an animated fish crossing the screen. I made that using the animated fish (movieclip1) following a path on a guide layer. All these are into another movieclip (2). I want in mouse hover condition to accelerate the tween. In other words I want the user to point the fish with the mouse (mouse hover) and then the fish tries to escape (tween acceleration). How can I accelerate the tween?Keep in mind that in fish movieclip(1) I have more than one Tweens. So the code must be for selected tween (named by frame label). Another thing is that acceleration mustn't be directly from 0 to 1. There must be an ease on the start and on the end of acceleration so it can be more realistic. I am not related on programming so I would like a complete answer (not just directions)

I have an animated MovieClip of a fly that spawns at a random location and moves across the screen by bouncing off the walls. But every time the animation starts over, it seems to "jump" to a random location. Here is the code I have for when it spawns:
private function beginClass(e:Event):void{
_root = MovieClip(root);
do {
[Code].....
How do I fix it so that the fly continues moving in its appropriate path every time the animation starts over?

View 1 RepliesI need to know how to have a character on the screen then the player can click anywhere on the playing area and the character will walk to that point.
View 8 RepliesI have my character movement down, and now I want the create a map. I want the screen to move with the character, and eventually I will have it so that at certain spots on the map, the screen will not let you move and stop and enemies will come out.
View 0 RepliesI've created a walk cycle using bone tool on a character but i don't know how to make it move from one part of the screen to the other. The character is made up of 6 layers, 4 of which are armatures and 2 have motion tweens.
View 1 Repliesi want a character to stay in center of screen and where ever we click on the page the character goes there , i mean that click position comes to centre with ease and we can also navigate map like age of empires, or DOTA but in that case character stick at its own position to map.
Im not flash developer so i dont know how to do this but i can do designing. I am attaching a fla with this pls do this experiment with that fla file so that i can understand it easy. Being a non programmer it is tough to understand these things for me. those brown sections in this map would be colusion areas , where we cannot move character and blue is river. so we cannot move character to river too.
I have a simple litte banner I did with flash (version 9.0). Just a few images and some text that I fade in and out with a motion tween. When i publish this to an animated gif, the text turns into blobs on the screen.
View 6 RepliesI'm having a lil problem. This problem is i'm trying to get a trurret to rotate to a character on screen...
K, now i know all you smarties are going well thats easy.... and thats cos it is.. i have done that using
Code:
public function facePoint(point:Point){
var charPoint:Point = new Point(this.x, this.y)
var charpos:Number = FindAngle(point, charPoint) * 180 / Math.PI
this.rotation = charpos
}
see easy now... i want it so it has (in need of a better description) a max rotation speed. so in stead of the rotation always being the same it has to rotate to keep up with the character..

How exactly do I cause the screen to move in time with the players character?
View 5 RepliesMy code allows you to be able to move your character the arrow keys, I put a loop in so that the character will move a lot more smoothly. but with this loop in my character just flys of the stage when i run the application.

I am trying to make my screen scroll as my character moves to the edge of it, but when I get to the edge of the screen nothing happens, I think this could be something to do with my registration points but I'm not sure. I have added trace statements for debugging but no luck. I have included my Fla so you can see what I mean.

Here is the code I am using to try and make this happen
PHP Code:
// scroll the LBground if character gets past half way up or down the stage
function scrollLevel():void {
// Horizontal scrolling
var horizontalCentre:Number = stage.stageWidth / 2;
var horizontalPosition:Number = LBground.x + Mchar;

i'm trying to make a character select screen for my game. now i've got a character with an instance name of "Character" and its just one. but i want to make like another scene or something where i can choose the character and the choosen character is used in the game.
View 1 RepliesI am trying to make a character selection screen. So I thought the most efficient (for my skill level) was to make a single "selectionBox" class. Then I would add mulitple instances of this class with different names (not through code, just drag them and give them names). then through a mouse event listener, I could go through and check to see the instance names of the "selectionBox" class. Problem is, how could I do this? I dont know how to check instance name.

View 3 Repliesi am doing this: press buttons on screen to move character left or right, "swipe" elsewhere on screen to do other stuff.
This is how i have handled it:
Multitouch.inputMode = MultitouchInputMode.TOUCH_POINT;
stage.addEventListener(TouchEvent.TOUCH_BEGIN, onTouchBegin);
stage.addEventListener(TouchEvent.TOUCH_END, onTouchEnd);
buttonContainer.addEventListener(TouchEvent.TOUCH_ OVER, tOver);
buttonContainer.addEventListener(TouchEvent.TOUCH_ OUT, tOut);
this works fine, just wondering if anyone has another way to handle it. it seems excessive to have 4 handlers for touch input, but i cant figure out any other way.
TOUCH_OVER and TOUCH_OUT check a switch statement to enable/disable buttons within buttonContainer.
TOUCH_BEGIN and TOUCH_END are used to store points and get a "swipe angle" (only if TOUCH_END is not over a button)
my only problem is i started having glitch's i think becuase so many listeners including: ORIENTATION_CHANGE, KeyboardEvents, Event.DEACTIVATE
this is why i ask if perhaps im missing someway to simplify the touch input listeners
I want to create a touch screen game for TV screen (not for mobile).

i'm trying to create a animated button, when I roll over the button the movie plays and when i roll out of the button the movie continues playing animating back to its first position.The problem is it only works one time,if you roll over a second time over the movieclip the animation doesn't work again.
