Flash - Having Multiple AI Objects Detect And Move Along A Given Path?
May 29, 2011
I'm working on a game right now where I'm going to have paths dynamically built by the user for multiple AI objects to "walk" along. I'll be detecting/redrawing the path only on user input but I'm still debating over the fastest possible method to update the movement of many AI objects "walking" along/up/down the given path. Think for example of pac man, but the level is dynamic. Right now I'm leaning toward building the enemies in a linked list of final classes and looping through the linked list calling a function in each of the AI objects to plot the next move along the path.

I've written a bit of code that will allow users to move objects around the stage and detect if one has hit another. The problem is that it only works for a limited number of objects. how to rewrite the code so that it works with an unlimited number of objects?

After read a lot about ball physics, watch some examples and few days of trying making pinball with bitmaps, I use simple (easy to work with) and fast performance Physics AS3 engine for bitmaps [URL] but still cant fix problem: if ball is moving too fast and object on path is too small, there will be no collision detection (code works perfect only with bigger objects or if ball is moving slower). I am not good at physics and maths. Here is function code which make physics for ball on every frame rate (but maybe its better to change it to setTimeout):
function showFrame(e:Event) // onEnterFrame{
var collisions:Array = collisionlist.checkCollisions();
if(collisions.length) // if collision{
var collision:Object = collisions[0]; // get collision information
var angle:Number = collision.angle; // get collision angle
[Code] .....

There is an example of what I'm trying to do [URL]. The only difference is that I'd like to use several different objects in my file...and not only one (i.e., ball or whatever) - but different objects with different shapes, colors....circulating on the same "path".

i've got multiple clips on stage and i want to move them all say 20pixels to the right. I want to do this with one Tween and have a nice elegant mathematical solution (i don't want to have to take position stamps etc etc unless its absolutely necessary). Here's an example. 4 clips randomly dragged on the stage and put in an array, Then one tween to move them all (for performance reasons):

Is there any way for a Flash component to look up the URL of the website it is embedded in? For example, if I embed a YouTube video on my website, does Google have any way of knowing who referred to them?

I currently have an over, out and click event for 8 different objects. The over and out events are identical for each (tween expands object and then shrinks it back for the out state).I have previously asked for an easy way to declare those events, and now I was looking for an easier way to handle them.
Here's my code:
//-----------GARAGE
function growGarage(e:MouseEvent):void{
scaleTweenX = new Tween(map_garage, "scaleX", Elastic.easeOut, 0.648, 1, 0.5, true);
[code]....
I've tried using a single function and then using "this" as the object of the tween but that expanded the entire stage.

I'm making a game and have been stuck for a few weeks on finding out when a freeform path drawn by the player self intersects.
I tried per-pixel alpha value collision detection but it's too sensitive and sometimes an aliased diagonal line will trigger a collision.
I'm trying to get it like the game Planet Cruncher. Doesn't seem to use alpha values to determine line self intersection since the line's color is solid. [URL]

Let's say I am loading a movieclip from a remote url within another movieclip on another server.
This movieclip now needs to load another child movie clip on the same server as itself.
How can it get its own url and not the url of its parent container so as to load this child ? Because if it refers to "child.swf" it will be relative to the super parent container insted of the first server isn't it ? So it will not be able to load the child correctly if all it can get is the url of the parent.

Ive probably ran into some code like this before. just cant remember where. I have 2 display objects on my stage. One is rotating and the other is positioned 90 degrees from the rotating object. As the object rotates, the other object adjusts its x and y positioning from the rotating object..
If this doesnt make sense, then let me explain what I am trying to do. I have a spaceship in my flash game. this ship has 2 torrets siting on the left and right wing. as the ship turns, the torrets need to remain on the wings.

I am going to have what is essentially a grid of 12 boxes. 4 across 3 high. There will be an object in each box. What I want to do is to allow the user to drag an object from one box into another. This will cause the other objects in the boxes to move up one position to fill in the gap that is left by the object being dragged. I have no idea what this is called or so I don't know how to Google it.

I have a question regarding flash. I am an intermediate flash user. Basically, I want a flash movie to expand like this homepage video, when the user clicks on the go button: [URL] Is it possible to "expand" the borders of a flash animation in such a way, and if so, how do I set this up in flash? Is it possible to have the drop-down menu displace the content below it on a html site? i.e. a 250-pixel high banner drops from the original flash piece, is it possible to have the rest of the page move down 250-pixels as well?

I am working on making a picture move along a path but for some reason I can't get it to work. I have followed the instructions in my text book but the image just goes down at an angle to the bottom right of the stage instead of following the path I created in the motion guide.

I'm having a bit of trouble getting a platform to move between a certain path with AS3.
My code looks like this -
Code:
if (((_platform.x >= 300) && (_sp >0)) || ((_platform.x <= 50) && (_sp <0)))
{
_sp *= -1;
}
_platform.x += _sp;
where _sp is the speed at which the platform moves (currently at 7) and _platform is the instance name of the platform.
I want it to move between the coordinates 50 and 300 along the x axis. What it does is, moves along the x axis and as soon as _platform.x hits 300 I get this weird movement where the platform moves back and forth at this point.

I have finished a little game called "math match". The idea of the game comes from "math mountain", a game is for the player who must caculate some kind of mathmatic questions, if the answer is correct, the player will move along a predefined path in several steps. I am newbie for programming games, so I am not sure what I have done in moving the role is the correct one, although it works okay. I know in Flash CS3, I can use motion guid layer to make the role move along a predefined path, but it seems it's not good in the game, or I don't know how to control it in actionscript 3.0. So I used many 'marks'(little movieclip) along the path. That divide a path into small pieces of lines, so I can move the role along the lines. If the 'marks' is enough, the precise is enough, the movement works okay.
But I think it's quite not a good method. I don't know if there is any good algorithm to move the movieclip along a predefined path, and this path is random, is hardly to be described by any math equation. I think in Flash CS3, we can draw a path by author tools, indeed Flash CS3 use some algorithm to do that. If we can get that math equation, we can simulate the movement very precisily, but is it possible? I don't know.

I am interested in making an animation that would be the equivalent to watching somebody write with a pen. The line tip would start moving and the path that that tip traces would stay on the screen.

I need to create an animation and provide some results of the move function at the END of the animation. However, i am not able to control the output till the move function is completed
I tried the isPlaying- that doesn't seem to detect that the animation is completed... so continues to output resukts before the animation is complete
sample code I tried
private function mvbut():void{
var mv:Move= new Move;
mv.xFrom=Math.random()*300;
