I'm trying to check wether two MovieClips are of the same kind or not. I have a collection of MovieClips stored in a dictionary, I'm then iterating over the entries and comparing each MovieClip with a MovieClip passed into the function. The problem is, it doesn't work. Neither does (==).

This was something I looked at a while back but couldn't figure it out. Now returning to give it another go.Basically I want to find out how to check if a movieclip is visible under a mask.I've got a row of thumbs in a movieclip under a mask. Some are out with the the masked area so I've got some script to make the movieclip scroll the other thumbs into view of the masked area. Is there any code I can apply to the thumbs to check if they are in or not in view of the masked area?
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to check if 2 movieclips hit each other. I know you use the command "hitTestObject". That is working good but I use this in combination with a tweenlite.to.
code: TweenLite.to(tvirus,1,{y:stage.stageHeight,ease:Li near.easeInOut,onUpdate:checkHit,onComplete:remove Virus})
protected function checkHit():void{
if (zombie.hitTestObject(tvirus))

I have 2 problems. First with the hit test it have me 4 times hit instead of one time. The second problem is that he gave me an error on the removeChild. What are my errors ?
I am working on a game in which i need to compare two movieclips for being identical. What i am doing is creating a complex shape out of some primitive shapes and then I allow the user to drag and drop some primitive shapes to recreate a similar shape. how can I calculate that the user created shape is similar to the original complex shape or not.

View 1 RepliesI'm having a little trouble thinking this out and would appreciate some insight from more experienced AS3 users:I have 6 instances of a dice movieclip all named "DiceOne", "DiceTwo", etc. that each have multiple frames (with the appropriate graphic) labelled "empty", "disabled", "One", "Two", etc.What I'm trying to achieve is a way to cycle through each dice instance and check what frame it is on. If it is NOT on frame labelled "disabled", do something. If it is, do nothing.

How can I check how many movieClips exist in a container and how much space are they taken?
In other words, how can I make this calculation if I have a rectangular movieClip (containerMc) that is 5x1px and five square movieClips (sq1Mc,sq2Mc, sq3Mc, sq4Mc and sq5Mc) that are 1x1px and which can dynamically be placed inside containerMc and I want to know how many and which of these five movieClips already exist in containerMc so I can determine where the next square movieClip needs to be placed?
Can someone be so kind and show me how to do this or direct me where I can find the answer?
Is it possible to check the number of movieclips in a level?

View 3 RepliesSee [URL] Now there is a button called Answera, which when clicked should have a symbol (movie clip) called Check appear at the cordinated specified. Check exists in the libary (but does not have an instance name) and no where else on the stage. when I run this code I get: 1180: Call to a possibly undefined method Check. -> var rightCheck = new Check(); How is it undefinded if it exists in the libary?
View 7 RepliesThe following is my codes. This is still work in progress; so, you will see some functions with empty contents. Plus, this is my first Flex application; please bear with me. This is a quiz application that gets the questions and answers to each questions from a ColdFusion web service. There are three types of questions, True or False, Multiple Choice with single selection, and Multiple Choice with multiple selections. So, based upon the question type, the application would dynamically generate the appropriate amount of radio buttons or check boxes for the users to select. I got these working. The problem that I am having is, I am not sure how to check what the users have actually selected. In some other forums and posts on other web site, it said that I can use event.currentTarget.selectedValue to get the user selection. But when I actually do it, I got a run-time error saying, "Property selectedValue not found on mx.controls.FormItem and there is no default value." My question is, what do I need to do to capture the user selections?

I am starting with AS3 programming icm with Flash Builder 4.I have created a "Main" class which is the initial stage.On this stage there is a movieclip called mcMain.In this mcMain is 4 other movieclips: mcStats1 mcStats2 mcStats3 mcStats4 .How can I access these mcStats1-4 from the code to make them go to another frame?I tried:
var t:MovieClip = MovieClip(getChildByName("mcMain"));
t.getChildByName("mcStats1").gotoAndPlay(3);
But that just keeps giving me null reference errors:TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
I'm wondering if there is a way for a SWF to check at runtime whether it is running as an online SWF or an AIR app? I need to use the same SWF to run both online and locally, however when running as an AIR app, external assets are located in a different directory. I'd like to check whether a SWF is local or online so I can change the source path for external assets accordingly.
View 1 RepliesI'm a n00b @ AS but I have managed to put together a video player using NetStream that suits my needs perfectly. The thing I'd like to add is that it would display a certain image if the streamed .flv clip only has audio track in it (mp3 converted flv).
Q: is there a way to check if the .flv I'm streaming has video in it?

I have this PHP that constantly changes an XML.
So... I'm asking, is there an eventlistener in flash that instantly detects change in XML?
What I do currently is to just load the XML again and again and check if something has changed. BUT it takes about half a second to load the XML again (not from cache).

View 2 RepliesI'm building a specialized viewer application which loads external SWFs.
var content:Sprite = ...
content.addChild(loader);
I listen to my top level content Sprite MOUSE_OVER and MOUSE_OUT events.The over handler hides default cursor and displays a custom (zoom) cursor.Out handler changes cursor back to default.What I want to achieve is NOT showing the zoom cursor when the mouse is over a clickable item in the externally loaded SWF like a button or textlink.The current code works perfectly for AVM1 swfs.The problem lies with loaded swfs using AS3.For these the content MOUSE_OUT is fired and instantly MOUSE_OVER is fired as well, so the cursor remains wrong.What this probably boils down to is: How to check the mouse is over a clickable child of content?

I'm using this snippet to check if an app/activity is installed:
public static boolean isIntentAvailable(Context context, String action) {
final PackageManager packageManager = context.getPackageManager();
final Intent intent = new Intent(action);
List<ResolveInfo> list =
packageManager.queryIntentActivities(intent,
PackageManager.MATCH_DEFAULT_ONLY);
return list.size() > 0;
} public static boolean isScanAvailable(Context context) {
return isIntentAvailable(context, "com.google.zxing.client.android.SCAN");
