In my side-scrolling game, I am trying to create blow darts which the player shoots. Of course, I want the darts to start where the Player is and then the darts move in their directions.
However, I have a problem. In my game I use a scrolling function that places the player right in the middle of the screen. Here is that function:

this thread is about side view shooters any one working on a side view shooter who needs help or wants to help me i want in here posting ideas, theres no good thread on the subject so lets get one going

I am pretty new to action script 3 (I did a little bit in as2) and i am trying to create a laser gun that rotates towards the mouse and shoots when the mouse is fired.
kind of like this but in as3[URL]..
I created a SWC which is a simple MovieClip that contains some TLF text fields. I have embedded the font using the Flash Professional IDE. When instance this Class in my main app
var myInstance:MovieClip = new SomeClass() as MovieClip
I get a Type Coercion error call:
Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert flash.display::MovieClip@1fbcc271 to fl.text.TCMText.
I really need a Timer that shoots multiple functions. The Timer Class just handles one function and therefore is not good enough for my project. The Timer should work something like this:
After 1 seconds fire functionOne
After 4 seconds fire functionTwo
...and so on...
Time is really crucial in my project (down to milliseconds) so I really can't use the Timer Class and fire "new" Timers all the time because Flash needs some milliseconds to process all the code and in the end it sums up to kind of a lot of time.
Let's take the next example:
<mx:State name="sayHello">
<mx:SetProperty name="preText" target="{this}" value="Hello"><mx:SetProperty>
</mx:State>
Can I somehow know when preText property has been set to hello?

I'm working on a simple first person game - converting it to a banner ad.I'd like the timeline to move to an end game frame after 5 shoots or after 20 seconds -how the script below controlling the game can be modigied to achieve this?
Code:
var i;
// gunfire sounds

I have like a bullet shooting thing which shoots bullets (obviously), and it sorta rotates around a point and fires at a movie clip. At the moment the bullets move outwards because of a animation in side the bullet movie clip, but how can I make them move outwards and away from the thing that fired them using actionscript?

I am creating a XML mp3 player because every was ranting and raving about how easy they are to create so I made the late out and when came the the action script and XML file they just don't work and no music plays.
Actionscript:
playlist = new XML();
playlist.ignoreWhite = true;
playlist.onload = function (success) {
_global.songname = [];
_global.songfile = [];
[Code] .....
XML:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
<songs>
<song name="Not Now" file="16 Not Now.wma" />
<song name="Not Now" file="stuck in America.wma" />
</songs>
with the FLVPlayback component i can get a nice looking basic player for .flv files easily..is there some way to set up the same functions to create a very simple mp3 player with flash?

View 5 RepliesI would like to build an online MP3 music player based on flash. But the template for the player should be like what it is being used in http://SoundCloud.com (like this one for [URL].. getting started with Flash and using this template.
View 1 RepliesI am new to AS3, and I am trying to make an XML music player. For reasons unknown, the music player that I have coded (GUI was made an placed on the stage, so coding for those are not included.) will not display text or play the music. The code I have so far is:
var my_songs:XMLList;
var my_total:Number;
var my_sound:Sound;[code]....
I wanted to create an interesting music player that would show an animation that would basically open like a door, then show you buttons for each song to be played. I made the music play by creating the buttons with the music in the "Down" frame of the button. This worked great, it played my music and played music when you pressed another button. However the problem lies with having music playing and clicking on another button. Both songs play at the same time.
To fix it I looked around to find a command that would stop all music playing when any button was clicked so that when music was playing, and you clicked a button for another song, the previous song would stop playing, and play the next song. However all the commands I tried gave me errors, or they made the button unable to start the song.
So I want to embed a FLV in my flash so that I just have ONE SWF that contains everything. I know if I say "load external video with playback component" I will end up with a swf, html and the flv- this is NOT what I want so please don't ask me why I'm not using this option. "Embed FLV in SWF and play in timeline" is EXACTLY what I want- the result is just a single SWF. Here is the question: How do I get a video player if I embed a FLV in flash?
I know if I load the video external I will get some nice players - exactly what I want. How do I get a player if the video is embedded? Are there any coded player templates on the net? I couldn't find anything on google I could use but I've to admit I'm not too good at AS.
How to create a youtube style video player?
starting with flv1 playing
when it finishes we have buttons to go to 2 other flv files
clicking a button plays flv2 or flv3 in the same player
when flv2/flv3 finishes we see another button
if we click this button we replay the whole thing (so playing flv1)
this whole thing in one video player like youtube
Create media player for loaded swf only.

Is it possible to create flv player's (mainly YouTube Player's) wrapper using AS3 and FlashDevelop only? I am concerned about it because I don't have Flash authoring environment. I have seen many tutorials and in first step (in all of them) are asking to create a .fla file.
View 2 RepliesAre there any guides for this? Can I send music links to an mp3 player with javascript,build queues, etc? I wish I could do this with the HTML5 audio tags, but the browsercompatibility is just ridiculous right now.Edit, to clarify the playlists/queues would be built by the user as they are browsing music, not some pre-generated playlist
View 1 Repliesanyone knows how to implement a skipable video player la youtube ? What i mean with skipable is to be able to seek forward into the stream before i downloaded the whole video.
View 2 RepliesEssentially the code below does the following:
1) I've created a URLLoader object called loader to load an XML at [url]...
2) When the load is complete it triggers onLoaded which iterates through the feed and adds each item into an array called arrayVariable.
This array is designed so that for any particular i called in variableArray[i] it is possible to access things like the object's title, description, link to FLV and a thumbnail.
3) Once complete, it then fires up createMatrix which sets the initial x, y information and page references so that there is a grid once they've been added to the displayList.[code]...
I'm trying to create a persistent MP3 player using SharedObject. Initially I tried using frames and while it worked, frames suck so I continued looking into it.
I came to find out about Flash's SharedObject. It seems easy enough but I can't nail down the logic correctly. I've attached a sample .fla for anyone interested to look at. I need the song progress to be stored and retrieved when necessary to keep the same song playing whenever links are clicked within the HTML page.
Im trying to create a flash music player much like the one at [URL].. but I cant seem to get it to load the swf files that are the songs and im stumped as to why. Ill post my player .fla and .txt file playlist along with my test swf song if anyone

I am trying to create a video player with a play list. I attempted to follow the tutorial at UrL...but couldn't get my customized player to work. I have a feeling there is something that needs to be tweeked with my AS but I'm not really sure because I am not a big programmer (more of a designer).URL...[code]
View 0 RepliesHow do you create a streaming MP3 Player with multiple songs? My dilema is not getting the song to play but how do you create it so that no matter which song its on it will go to the very next one? like if it is song 3 go to 4. Because that would be a variable that would constantly change.
View 1 RepliesIn order to meet the largest penetration of users with a flash player downloaded onto their machines, I have been tasked to Publish with Version 6 settings. However, I am creating my movies in Flash 8.
Are there any known draw backs to publishing with Version settings later than the Flash you are building in?
I.E. Component failure? Visual Quality? AS 1.0 v AS 2.0?
