I'm programming a simple shooter in which enemies enter from the right and the player is at the left. This enemy is a MC with 2 frames, which I want to alternate every set number of pixels. Here is the code:
Code: package {
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.events.*;
public class Enemy extends MovieClip {
var OrigX:int;
public function Enemy() {
this.gotoAndStop(1);
this.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, loop);
OrigX = this.x;
}
function loop(event:Event) {
this.x -= 1;
if (OrigX - this.x >= 15) {
this.nextFrame();
OrigX = this.x;
}
}
}
}The MC doesn't change frames as it should...It only changes frames once, and that is after it is beyond the left edge of the stage.
I have also tried Code: addEventListenerinstead of Code: this.addEventListenerif that matters.
(Thanks in advance.)

[Action Script] New guy looking for help July,2012
Hey all,
I'm new here! So hello everybody! :-)
I'm currently trying to learn Actionscript 3 for use in building games. I have basic programming knowledge from learning some PHP and JavaScript so I know the basics about variables, conditional logic, etc etc.
I'm a little weak in the OOP side of things though. I'm currently reading Essential Actionscript 3 and I'm learning from it, though some things bend my mind a little bit.
I'm looking for something very specific. A person that is willing to work with me. Not like all day everyday or anything but someone that is willing to like give me assignments and then look at my work and answer questions.
I've followed tutorials, videos, and guides and I learn some stuff. But it's just not the same as actually having a person saying "NO! YOU DON'T DO IT THAT WAY!!!" :-P
I have 3 ideas for games I want to make, if someone is willing to help me out perhaps we could use those ideas and I could learn while working toward one of them.
Of course anyone that helps me will be given credit and thanks.
Thank you guys ahead of time! :-)

[Action Script] [AS3] Problem with checking for bullet collision July,2012
Hello
The following piece of code checks whether a bullet has collided with an enemy or a wall and acts accordingly, the problem is that if a bullet collides with an enemy and a wall it gives an error, this also happens when shooting in random directions and hitting walls and enemies.
After the error enemies are taken down with one shot, not two and if there is more than one enemy on stage the bullets just pass straight through them.
Here is the code:
Code: if (pistolBulletCount>0)
{
for (var j:int = 0; j < zombieArmy.length; j++)
{
enemy = zombieArmy[j];
// if the collsision occured remove the bullet and update health of enemy
for (var s:int = 0; s < pistolBullets.length; s++)
{
var blts:PistolBullet = pistolBullets[s];
}
if (enemy.hitTestObject(blts))
{
// if the enemy is dead, remove him as well
if (enemy.updateHealth(-50) <= 0)
{
zombieArmy.splice(j, 1);
enemy.parent.removeChild(enemy);
zombienum--;
}
//RETURN; HERE TO AVOID ERROR
}
}
//Bullet Movement
for (var i:int = 0; i < pistolBullets.length; i++)
{
var pistolBlts:PistolBullet = pistolBullets[i];
pistolBlts.x-=xSpeed;
pistolBlts.y-=ySpeed;
if (zombienum>0)
{
if (pistolBlts.hitTestObject(enemy))
{
removeChild(pistolBlts);
pistolBulletCount--;
}
}
if (pistolBlts.hitTestObject(wall))
{
if (PixelPerfectCollisionDetection.isColliding( pistolBlts, wall, this, true ) )
{
removeChild(pistolBlts);
pistolBulletCount--;
}
}
}
}Here is the error:
Code: ArgumentError: Error #2025: The supplied DisplayObject must be a child of the caller.
at flash.display::DisplayObjectContainer/removeChild()

at flash.utils::Timer/_timerDispatch()

whats happening is that only the horizontal scroll bar shows the custom skin,
the vertical scroll bar does not reflect the custom skin, moreover the vertical scroll is not seen at all.
I can't find a solution to this, please help.

[Action Script] Need Flash Programmer July,2012
I need help with a game I am currently creating, so I thought I would post here and perhaps get some assistance.
A little background: My game is a fighting game and features live action video. I have rented out a studio and recorded ALL possible fighting moves (and then some) between two actresses and essentially incorporated about 100 video segments into a Flash file and am in the process of making an interactive menu/battle system.
The game: Basically, you take on the role of the main character (an actress) and you must defeat your nemesis (another actress) through a series of combat-minigames. Punch, kick and slap your way to victory! Each game segment is played a bit differently (The camera jumps from 1st person & 3rd person combat) but it essentially plays out the same way.
Who I am seeking: I need someone to help me draw a better interface and help me create the battle system (its basically a gotoandplay project, healthbars, button presses and such.) I do have a small paypal budget so I can actually pay you :) Also, the end product will be sold, will be happy to discuss royalties and such. Please contact me ASAP!

[Action Script] Swf a little bit bigger on html than original swf file, problem July,2012
Hey Guys!
I have a silly problem with swf files displayed on simple html...
For sake of simplicity,
I have a swf file that is called test.swf and its size is 550x400
From dreamweaver on a test.html script I have the following:
Code: <body>
<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=7,0,19,0" width="550" height="400">

</object>
</body>When I open test.html with explorer...I can see that test.swf is slightly bigger than the original .swf... any ideas on how this can be fixed??
Thanks a lot in advance!!
Cheers!

[Action Script] Code conversion from AS2 to AS3 help! July,2012
Hello all,
Im in need of some help in converting a few blocks of code from AS2 to AS3. I will not be using these codes in external .as files, and will need them to be used directly on the stage in the main timeline of the specific movieclips. One deals with conditional statement that scales a background image up when the browser window becomes larger than the specified stage size within the code, but remains the same size when on smaller monitors. Code is below:
if (Stage.width>1920 || Stage.height>1200)
{
mainSitebg._width = Stage.width;
mainSitebg._height = Stage.height;
mainSitebg._xscale > mainSitebg._yscale ?
mainSitebg._yscale = mainSitebg._xscale :
mainSitebg._xscale = mainSitebg._yscale;
}
var stageL:Object = new Object();
stageL.onResize = function() {
if (Stage.width>1920 || Stage.height>1200)
{
mainSitebg._width = Stage.width;
mainSitebg._height = Stage.height;
mainSitebg._xscale > mainSitebg._yscale ?
mainSitebg._yscale = mainSitebg._xscale :
mainSitebg._xscale = mainSitebg._yscale;
}
Stage.addListener(stageL);
The next bit of code deals with a parallax effect with individual movieclips. That code is below also:
orig_x = this._x;
orig_y = this._y;
profundidad = 20;
this.swapDepths(profundidad);
onEnterFrame = function() {
dest_x = (((210 - _root._xmouse)/400) * profundidad) + orig_x;
incr_x = (dest_x - this._x)/10;
this._x += incr_x;
dest_y = (((130 - _root._ymouse)/330) * profundidad) + orig_y;
incr_y = (dest_y - this._y)/10;
this._y += incr_y;
}
Ant help would be very much appretiated! Thank you to anyone that may help!
Cheers!

Also I need to check for collision with the hero which has a different custom class Hero attached to it.

[Action Script] Errors with URLLoader/URLRequest July,2012
Hi, I am trying to import data from a text file and have come across a tutorial on loading data from external documents on the Adobe Help Resource Center for Flex 3.0. I have followed the instructions on their tutorial and oddly when I type the code in one way I get no errors but when typed another, equally valid way, I get errors. I am wondering why this is happening because I find things like this extremely annoyning. ;-)
Here are the two code formats:
This example works fine:
Code: <fx:Script>
<![CDATA[
var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader(new URLRequest("params.txt"));
]]>
</fx:Script>This code gives the error "1120: Access of undefined property loader"
Code: <fx:Script>
<![CDATA[
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("params.txt");
var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
loader.load(request);
]]>

[Action Script] Error Message with controlBarContent July,2012
I am trying to add a control bar to a container and am coming across the following errer:
"Could not resolve <s:controlBarContent> to a component implementation"
I get the error with every container type I have tried thus far except for Application and Panel. The problem with using an Application container, however, is this component is not the main application and I get an error at compile time when I try to use the control bar contents in an Application container. Panel works fine but I don't want the control bar at the bottom of the container and I don't want a Panel heading.
It seems like I should be able to add a control bar to any kind of container I want. Can anyone help me out with this?
Thanks.

[Action Script] multi touch draw two lines July,2012
Hi All
I am trying to write an app that allows users on multi touch devices to draw. I want it so that more then one touch point can draw. so if touch the device with left index finger and at the same time your right index finger both fingers can draw independent lines. I can trace multiple touch events fine the problem I am having is that my line to code always seems to jump to the newer event. Creating some cool artsy drawings but not what I am after. I tried for each event creating a new sprite and various other approaches.
Any direction on this would help.

[Action Script] How do you prevent External SWF from instantiating specific classes? July,2012
Hi I am developing an application that requires third party SWFs to be loaded into my application. Here is a list of some of the classes that I'd like to prevent instantiation of:
- flash.media.Sound
- flash.display.NativeWindow (Air)
- flash.display.Loader
- flash.display.ServerSocket
I'd like to extend these classes with my own so that I can filter content in these classes. The extensions will be available to 3rd party developers in my program's SDK. Is it possible to prevent these classes from being loaded inside of the external SWF?
ALSO: I will be loading the external SWFs as binary using the URLLoader (not the Loader) then loading the bytes using the Loader object's 'loadBytes' method. I will be passing in a LoaderContext object with 'allowScriptImport' set to true, a null SecurityDomain, and a null ApplicationDomain.
Please help. Thank you.
