I've been having a problem I've been working on for multiple hours now with no luck. I have movement bound to arrow keys and the user looks around via the mouse. When I shoot I want it to continue off in the direction it initially started, but what happens is if the user moves the mouse the bullets change directions with it.[code]...I think what is causing the problem is that when I push the bullets into the array they're all sharing the effects of the user moving the mouse instead of keeping their initial value.
View 2 RepliesIs there a way to make a bulleted list in flash with custom bullets? If so, can this be used from within a TextArea in Flex (mx.controls.TextArea) when setting htmlText?
For example:
<li>Item</li>
<li>Item</li>
The list above will render fine when set into a TextArea using htmlText (versus just setting the text property). The rendered text will have standard vanilla bullets. Is there a way to style these bullets with custom images, like you can in standard HTML/CSS?
See the simple application created below. I have a RichTextEditor and a RichText component.The idea is to display whatever typed in the RichTextEditor in the RichText component. Everything else (I think) works except for Bullets! The conversion works as if bullets doesn't exists!
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<s:Application width="100%"
height="100%"

I'm using flex 4.1 to write an application. i read in the documents that has the rowCount property to set how many items to display. the does not have that property. how can I limit the list to display 3 items ?
View 3 RepliesFlex 3 List control had a itemRollOver event. Flex 4 List doesn't have it. Is there an equivalent or a workaround for this issue?

The 'recommendations' dataProvider is an ArrayCollection of String, which are generally sentences about as long as this one. By setting the variableRowHeight and wordWrap properties as shown, if a sentence is too long to fit on a single line, everything works fine- the row expands and the messages show on two lines, or occasionally three.
The space allocated for this panel within the entire canvas means if the total text size of 'recommendations' exceeds six lines, I need for the entire list scroll. This is also working just fine. The trouble is when using the mouse wheel to do the scrolling- Flex scrolls both the entire list and the single item where the mouse is hovering. Often this results in only the second half of a sentence being visible. Non-programmer friends I have asked to look at this noticed this, and tell me it as a problem. If a user does not notice the dual scrolling, and sees only a fragment of a sentence, it will be perceived as an error in the application.

When a user selects a category from the first drop down box then i want the 2nd drop down to be updated based on the selection of the first drop down. I have created multiple ArrayCollections whose names are set to the "data" values of the first drop down, for instance:
[Bindable]
public var countries:ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection([
{label:"USA",data:"USA"},
[code].....
I am currently working on a project in Flex and I am having a hard time having a list's contents ALL be selected by default. Wondering how to do this.
<mx:List id="list" dataProvider="{dp}" allowMultipleSelection="true"/>
I'm just trying to have the list all selected.
I'm trying to animate a list as I delete the top row. All the examples I can find use itemsChangeEffect to bind to the effect, but this property exists only in MX lists, not spark lists.
Any idea how I can get the same effect done in Spark Lists?
I'm trying to remove the top most item in the list with a slight fade out effect before the rest of the items move up to replace the gap.
while i using drag & drop from listbox1 to listbox2 ,how can i get all the items of listbox2 in flex
View 1 RepliesThe traditional way to assign an icon would be to use the icon field of the item renderer,which reads the value of "icon" property in your data, for example:
listData.addItem({label: "Logout", icon: "com.classpth.DefualtThemeLogoutIconClass"});
But i want the DefualtThemeLogoutIconClass to changed to another class: ightThemeLogoutIconClass when the theme is changed.The only way to do this would be to use a style declaration containing a classReference to the icon, and change its the value in each of the CSS files of the various themes.The question is, is there any way to assign this style to an icon in a List, something as easy as intuitive as list[0].getIcon().setStyle("styleName");
how to create bullets in as3? I have a main character = hero.mc Basically I need to store the bullets in an array and have them firing from the hero. It sounds simple enough, but for some reason I can't get it to work.
So far I have this:
Quote:
private var bullets:Array;
public function createBullets() {
bullets = new Array();
[code]....
I need a code in AS2 that launches a bullet ("bullet") from the character ("hero") towards wherever you clicked the mouse.For example, if I click somewhere, I want the bullet to launch straight towards where I clicked.
View 10 RepliesHow do I add a bullet to Flash text? I know that alt0149 isthe html code. In the Flash text box and before the first textcharacter, I tried pressing the ALT key and simultaneously typingin 0149. Nothing happened.A similar question was asked on this forum... the answer wago to the Character Map (where is that) or use dynamic text (Itried putting alt0149 in the dynamic text box ??? but it didn'tork).My work-around so far is to copy a similar bullet and add itto the text box. But there must be a quicker way.

View 1 RepliesI've got a mouse controlled person who fires circle bullets up towards oncoming enemies. but since i duplicated them, only the first bullet fired works as it is the only one that has the right instance name.What I mean is :The bullet is instanced bullet When it is duplicated to be fired, it changes to bullet1,bullet2 ect etc The hittest script on the enemies only reconize bullet, and therefore ignores all other shots except the first is there anyway of making it so it reconises all shots?
View 1 RepliesI have written the code below which restricts the number of bullets fired, but each bullet fired travels at a different speed to the last and when another bullet is fired the previous one disappears from the screen. Please can anyone give any guidance ?

According to the search there's never been a post that contains the word "tabstops" in the history of . I am honored to be the FIRST!Anyway, I am converting an application so that text content that was once trapped in the authoring environment will now reside in an external XML file.The problem i'm running into is that my "textformat tabstops" tags and bullets no longer work.In the content I had:
Code:
<textformat tabstops='[10]'><br><br><b><u>Blah blah blah</u></b><br> Blah blah blah<br> lah blah blah etc.</textformat>

I have finally got the movieclip to show up when i hit the ctrl key. but it just sits there because i have not yet added a speed. what would be the simplest way of doing this? what i want to move is a bullet.
View 2 RepliesI could create a movie clip for a bullet and create a new instance of one every time a bullet is fired. Then, I could have 100 little bullets all flying around checking collision detection...
There must be a better, more efficient way to do bullets. Anyone know of anything already out there?Otherwise, I could create a collision detection queue for the bullets, or predict where the bullet will fly (since it is usually always linear), but if the bullets become larger, the actual movie clip of the bullet may be wide enough to hit something, but the line the bullet is traveling does not necessarily hit that other object.
But is there a fast, efficient system or way of handling things already out there?
I'm working on a simple top-down zombie shooter to teach me better AS3 practices. There's one player, can shoot multiple bullets, and a certain number of zombies on screen at once, that increment by one when all of the previous ones are dead.
So, I have everything working great except for one thing: even though I'm spawning multiple bullets, and they go in the correct direction at the right speed, only one moves at a time.
Here's the code for spawning bullets:
Code:
// shoot - check to see if the gun can shoot, then shoot it
private function shoot():void
{
[code]....
I have a similarly structured pair of functions for the zombies, and they chase after the player just fine. If I trace a bullet's name when it collides with a zombie, it always returns 0. I've tried changing the number of bullets that can be spawned, but it remains the same.
Also, the moveBullets function is called from gameLoop(), which is itself called from an event listener for ENTER_FRAME. The movePlayer and moveZombies functions I have are also called from gameLoop.
I've got a mouse controlled person who fires circle bullets up towards oncoming enemies. but since I duplicated them, only the first bullet fired works as it is the only one that has the right instance name. What I mean is: The bullet is instanced bullet. When it is duplicated to be fired, it changes to bullet1, bullet2 etc. The hittest script on the enemies only recognize bullet, and therefore ignores all other shots except the first. Is there anyway of making it so it recognizes all shots?

View 4 Repliesin my game enemy Planes shoot at my plane and everything is working fine enemy bullets are inside an array the problem is when my plane gets destroyed by enemy Planes ,the last bullets shot by the enemyPlanes still shows on the screen eventhough i called a removelistener function and added a game over screen enemy planes use timer which i have a listener for it how can i remove the last bullets that still shows on the screen?
View 5 RepliesNeed to make it so when you hit <control> it will place the bullet but if you hit <control> again it will duplicate it instead of moving the bullet from where it was before. I am trying to find a code that I can look at for research but there arent any AS 3.0 scripts or fla files to DL. The bullet does not need to move or anything, just places the bullet.
View 0 RepliesI am trying to make text bullets in Flash CS 5.5, and I noticed there is no way to do that using the text options in Flash, so I decided, I would just make a small circle shape, and place it where I needed. However, even though I place the shape in front of the text I want it to be in front of, when I test the movie, for some reason this shape, gets moved down about 5 pixels or so. (or the text is moving) I am using classic text.
Is there any reason for this shifting around?
And/or is there a way to just create text bullets in Flash?
My problem is that I want to swap the players bullets upon pressing 'x'. I have implemented senoculars keyobject class and followed a tutorial from asgamers. this is the code...public function loop(e:Event) : void
[Code]...
I know its possible to put a limit on how many bullets (which is a MC) that can be on the screen at one time. However, I've been playing with it for about an hour now and can't figure out the right AS. I am including the swf and the fla.
