Flash :: Change Player Collision (b2PolygonShape) At Runtime And Maintain Body Position
Oct 26, 2011
I have a main character in my Box2d game that has a b2PolygonShape collision. When the player crouches I am changing the body to a smaller b2PolygonShape. The logic works fine, but when I change the size (height) of the collision the character starts to fall.
Is it possible to create the new body with an offset (localPosition?) so the position of the body stays the same? This way I can play the crouch animation and change the collision without worrying that the position will change and make my sprite go bananas.

I have a container full of tiles and other assets that serves as the map. On top of that container is a mask that serves as the camera the player sees through. In order to move the camera around I move the container around.I'm able to center on a tile within the container using the following formula:
container.x = ( ( (tile.x + (tile.width / 2) ) * container.scaleX) * -1) + (mask_width / 2);
container.y = ( ( (tile.y + (tile.height / 2) ) * container.scaleY) * -1) + (mask_height / 2);
This moves the container into position relative to the mask such that the center of the mask will be the tile in question.I recently added the ability to zoom, which just adjusts the scaleX/scaleY of the container to make it bigger or smaller. I've already fixed the centering code above to account for it, but I'm having trouble making it so the "camera" doesn't appear to move around as the view shrinks. Basically, when zooming out everything appears to move to the left, because the container shrinks. It's all fine once I center on something with the code above, but I need a way to bump the container over to the right a bit based upon the difference in scaleX and scaleY to keep everything looking like it's in the same position while zooming.

I have a Box2D world with a mixture of static and dynamic bodies. On collisions, I can only get the positions of the dynamic ones.
Is it possible to get the positions of static objects?
N.b., this is a development of a previous question, Box2D: How to get the position of a sensor?

I've been into coding for about 5 years now, but I'm a recent convert to Flash development. One of the questions I have at the moment is, considering that SWF files can be run by either Adobe Flash Player OR Adobe AIR, what's the real difference between the two runtime environments? What API's and Objects exist in one environment, but not the other?
Basically what I'm more or less trying to establish is, when would I want to develop an SWF for AIR, and when would I want to develop for Flash Player, considering that Flash Player can also execute locally (providing support for creating "desktop applications")

I've installed the latest debug version of Flash player plugin for Mac OS X. Diagnostic page [URL] confirms that the version of Flash plugin detected is debugger one. I'am also able to debug applications using Flash-builder debugging tools. But no runtime error pop-ups are shown during browsing. Does anyone have the same problem? Does anyone know how to fix this strange behavior?
I've tried to uninstall the player using this application [URL] and reinstall Flash player again, but no luck.
UPD1: I've created additional user account and found out that error pop-ups are displayed successfully when switched to that account. So it's likely user-profile configuration issue.

How can I change this property without redrawing the entire Shape with the drawing API (almost impossible, is a map with very detailed borders) ?

I have seen this on some site, so there must be a way of doing this. How do you dynamically change a flash movies dimension during runtime? For example, the forum nugget is working on I noticed that the height of the flash forum dynamically grows as the thread getslonger...because I can see my browser scroll bars appear. How can this be achieved?? his seems mind buggling to me, because you have to set a flash movies stage dimensions before publishing and the html has the flash dimesions too, so I don't get how this is being done

I'm doing a project at the moment where I am creating a side scrolling platformer in AS3. Currently I have:
-The "Character' which is a ball that can be controlled using the arrow keys and has bounce, friction, gravity etc.
-A scrolling system, the character can move freely within an invisible inner boundary, once the character leaves this boundary the background will scroll to compensate.
The thing I am having issues with is creating collision detection between the "Character" and the "Background.Ground" so that the character can move along the shape of the Ground movieclip within the background movieclip.
Actionscript Code:
package{
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.display.Stage;
import flash.geom.Transform;
import flash.events.KeyboardEvent;

I didn't find that my flash is larger than the browsering area on screen until I publish and preview it in my browser but I do want all the content to be displayed on the screen. All I need to do is to move everything up for about 150 px.(in other words, to shorten the stage by 150 from the top but I can only cut the stage from the bottom ) Is there a way I can change the position of the stage like what I can do to the artboard in AI?

I've been working in CS5, with an older FLA I originally built in CS3. On the timeline, I have different MCs and button symbols which need to stay in the same coordinate position. Usually if I notice some sort of 'wiggle', I will go and check the position coords by hand, updating the x/y position by typing numbers directly in the Properties panel.
However today, I repeatedly saw the coordinates change -by themselves- after I typed and hit Enter. For example, typing '165' in the Y field changed immediately to '164.95'. With one symbol, this behavior continued, no matter what I typed, with the number changing by 10 pixels sometimes, every time I just selected the symbol. Not only was I not able to keep the symbols at the same coords (I tried making them all 164.95), the 'automatic decimal' numbers would actually change further, as I was trying to correct them. I was only able to resolve this by creating an entirely new MC symbol in the Library, and placing it on a new timeline layer.
I've noticed this sort of behavior before in CS3 and CS4 (the CS4 Alpha slider never wanting to go to 0 or 100%), but never to this extent, or as consistently. It's gone from an annoyance to a genuine problem in my workflow.

A display object container on the stage has some bitmap images of sizes 50x50 arranged in a order one by one. Now if i click on any of the thumbnail image (bitmap) the entire container should move and position itself so that, the bitmap image clicked is placed in the center of the stage.

If I have several items that move across the screen but the user can click any of them at any time, how do I record the current position of any of the items item in order to use that data to change the position of the item after the user clicks?
This is what I am doing: I have 11 images that slide accross the screen. The user can click any of them at any time. When he clicks one I am scaling the image so it looks like it is comming forward (z axis) and then the rest of the images are scaled down so it looks like they are going back on z axis. So what I am trying to do is get the current position of the image when the user clicks the image so that I can use that to correctly estimate the scaling and moving of the image to make it look like it scales from the center and not from the top left corner. So if have a variable that gets the current position of the image being clicked I'm thinking I can change its position using something like: x = currentposition + -45;

I've got a movieclip with two layers - a background movieclip, and above that, a mask movieclip (as you might guess, this layer is masking the first). Due to design necessity, the mask is animated on the timeline across 60 frames.The problem arises when I use an Event.RESIZE listener to change the width of the parent movieclip when the browser window is resized. Any code to reference the mask, i.e
parentMC.contentMask.width = stage.stageWidth;
parentMC.contentMask.x = frame.width/2 - frame.contentMask.width/2;
Simply results in the mask animation not playing at all.

Do you think the arrival of the new Flash Player 11 which is much more powerful allowing to render 3D games much faster will change the flash world significantly?Will we see a whole new era of 3D everywhere? new 3D games on the web, new 3D games on facebook, new 3D stuff everywhere... new IDEs for the 3D capabilities? a boost in the flash 3D engines such as Away and Alternativa? And most importantly for developers, is it going to create a lot more job oportunities for specialized developers with new skills?
