I am creating a miner game (where there are pieces of gold and you have to catch them with hook).I modified the Main class to take all children of MovieClip(root) that has name "Gold" and them put them in an Array(boulders[]) where later check collision (I design and put on stage several "Gold" MovieClips for every level). When the player collects all gold (when the boulders array.length <= 0) then goToAndStop(nextLevel), where again it takes the gold MovieClips from the stage and if it's name is == "Gold" then put's it in the boulder[].
What happened: On the first level(frame 2 cause frame 1 is the preloader) everything is good - I have 2 gold MovieClips on the stage(in design mode) and all 2 gold are put in the array and displayed.
On the second level I have 4 gold and only 2 of them are put in the array and displayed.
On the third level I have 7 golds designed on stage, but only 3 are displayed and put in the boulder array.
It's almost the previous count of the gold(on the previous frame) are subtracted from the count of the next frame gold movieclips.I am placing the Main.as code:
public function createLevel(){
nextLevel = this.currentFrame + 1;
for (var i:uint = 0; i < MovieClip(root).numChildren; i++){[code]....
I'm attempting to learn flash using Adobe CS4. I've found some really good tutorials, but I can't use them because every time I draw something on the stage, the resultant drawing disappears immediately after I release the mouse. Since I can't see it, I can't select and manipulate it. I captured the behavior and stuck it on youtube. I don't have a mike on this system so there's no sound. [URL]. If I create the file with ActionScript 2.0 instead of 3.0, I get outlines of the objects, but not the objects themselves. That's not on the vid, but I'd rather use 3.0 anyway.
We are making a simple Flash game intended for mobile phones via Flash 5.5 using ActionScript 3.0.We are animating an array of objects vertically until they hit another object at the top of the stage.We instantiate each element of the array with one of 10 MovieClip animations.Each object has two event listeners; one to animate vertically and another to listen for a mouse click(which removes the object from the stage).We run into an issue when more than 10 objects are on the stage at one time.The issue is that the objects disappear sporadically and without explanation. We assume the problem is due to some type of memory/ garbage collection issue.Below is a snippit of our code that dispatches the MovieClip instances onto the stage.[code]What can we do in order for the MovieClips to not disappear?
lets say I have animated a car entering the stage area from outside the stage. When I render the SWF at first only the content on the onstage area is visible but if I resize/enlarge the window I can also see the car(content) lying outside the stage just like in the flash file. How can I make sure that no off stage content is visible at all in the final SWF?
I am a newb to Flash CS5 Pro, so I can't tell what is wrong. I have multiple objects on my stage that I copied to create afull effect. Most of the objects perform perfectly, but the ones on the edge of the stagedisappear when I export to video. When I zoom in to look at them, they are there,but when i zoom out to fit to page, they are gone
I'm trying to send small gradient circles across the stage and they somehow disappear around x 515. If I increase the size the problem goes away ( though increasing the size to 2px only make them go another 100 px x before disappearing). The problem does not exist with non gradient circles.Here is the code:
I need to remove every object that is part of an array from the stage. What I have right now only removes one of the objects.
this.removeChild(enemyList.splice(0)[0]);
I've tried several variations of this with either the same result or an error. Also, what is the zero in hard brackets for? I haven't seen that in many tutorials/explanations, but when I take it out, I get all kinds of errors.
I've just downloaded Flash 9 Public Alpha and I'm trying some new stuff. I would like to change the scale of a MovieClip instance that I've physically created and dragged onto Stage but the compiler doesn't recognize the mc instance...Do I need to do something beyond just referencing the clip? : myMovieClip._yscale = 10;
I have a haunting feeling that AS3 will be too intimidating for me to even begin to try learning, I can't really grasp AS2 yet...
I typed out a function in an attempt to make two MovieClips appear on the stage in random locations onClick but I think I either forgot to add something or forgot to take something out.
Taking this thread to the next level and now making a Main.as class to display different "screens" of my game.For right now I only have 1 screen called ControlPanel, but this will eventually have multiple levels (each level will be a separate screen) and a level selection screen, etc. added. So at this point I'm losing control over how to give things access to the stage (in other words... it's getting really thick with multiple levels and this noob's brain is being overloaded lol).
To start off, I took all of my graphics that were on the stage by default (buttons, lights, meters, score text, etc.) and created a new symbol (MovieClip) that I called ControlPanel and checked off "Export for ActionScript" with a class name of ControlPanel. So now my games fla stage is black and I made it's document class Main.as. which looks like this:
public class Main extends MovieClip { public var controlPanel:ControlPanel; public function Main() {[code].........
Running this worked perfectly in that my Control Panel screen popped right onto the screen. Of course all the buttons didn't work yet but that is the next step. So I modified my old Game.as to now be called ControlPanel and read like so:
public class ControlPanel extends MovieClip { private var docRef:Main; private var _player:Player;[code]...........
this is a hodgepodge of ideas torn between the docRef and the View idea. I need to have access to the stage for my mouse and keyboard listeners, but then I also need access to the buttons in the ControlPanelView symbol. Do I need to pass both the view and the docRef here? How to I maintain access to the stage and the ControlPanelView graphic?
I'm having a hard time trying to accomplish this. I want to have several different movieclips on the stage, either added there when making the fla or dinamically created through AS3 and I want them to be controlled by a certain function. I read the blue circle tutorials on this site but I'm not sure I got it right I have done something similar to this (not posting the real thing because it's not in English and too long):
public class blabla private var variable1 private var variable2
[Code].....
I'm not sure what to do to have the function work with different movieclips using different arguments. I could change this for an instance name, for example, but then I would have to do a function for each mc and that wouldn't make any sense. It would be cool if I could give the instance name as an argument but I don't think that's possible.
I have one MC on stage with instance name "box". That MC duplicates by using this script: Code: duplicateMovieClip (box, newname="box2", this.getNextHighestDepth()); box2._x = xPoz; box2._y = yPoz; So the new MC is now called "box2".
Inside original MC "box", I have one button. After click on that button, I need to know on which MC I clicked. box, or box2. I tried to use: Code: trace (this._name); But, that get me only instance name of the button.
I wasn't sure if I were to put this in the Actionscript forum or in here, so I put it in here. I'm making a small test for a game so I made two attached movieclips to the stage. I got them to move at each other, but when they hit, it doesn't detect it. Is there anyway i can make them hit eachother? Heres the code
I have a file where movie clips are added to the stage at random time intervals and locations. How do I get pieces of code to effect all the created movie clips? At the moment I'm using attachMovie to add the movie clips to the stage. Once a movie clip is added I want to add three actions to it: the first makes it so that clicking on the movie clip will remove it from the stage, the second makes the movie clip move in a random direction across the stage, and the third makes it so that when the movie clip reaches the end of it's own timeline it performs an action then removes itself.
It this part in qeustion "if(ball._x + ball.width / 2 > 400){" should the trace function be recognised when the half of th ball moves over the 400 mark.
Im trying to dynamically add several of the same movieclips to the stage. This movie clip contains a textbox. I have tried the following:-[code]I have my movieclip exported fror actionscript with the identifier as (textbox). This code does add a textbox to the stage however it only adds the second one which says "goodbye" but not the first one which should say "hello"? I thought the loop should go round twice and add a 'newText1' and a 'newText2'??
