I'm new to Adobe Animate and action script so I really dont know how to fix this.
I'm creating a mcq quiz which goes like this:
if user choose answer a or b or c or d. if a is correct answer, give 1 mark, choose wrong answer 0 mark
The source of the two errors is in the function speed.
Here is the code I made so far...
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.events.EventDispatcher;
stop();
question.text="the question is"
var totalscore=3;
var currentscore=0;
function mark()
{
currentscore = currentscore + 1;
}
/* Click to Go to Scene and Play
Clicking on the specified symbol instance plays the movie from the specified scene and frame.
Instructions:
1. Replace "Scene 3" with the name of the scene you would like play.
2. Replace 1 with the frame number you would like the movie to play from in the specified scene.
*/
ans1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_ClickToGoToScene_24);
function fl_ClickToGoToScene_24(event:MouseEvent):void
{
MovieClip(this.root).gotoAndPlay(1, "quiz 2");
currentscore = currentscore + 1;
}
ans2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_ClickToGoToScene_24);
function fl_ClickToGoToScene_24(event:MouseEvent):void
{
MovieClip(this.root).gotoAndPlay(1, "quiz 2");
currentscore = currentscore + 0;
}
ans3.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_ClickToGoToScene_24);
function fl_ClickToGoToScene_24(event:MouseEvent):void
{
MovieClip(this.root).gotoAndPlay(1, "quiz 2");
currentscore = currentscore + 0;
}
ans4.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_ClickToGoToScene_24);
function fl_ClickToGoToScene_24(event:MouseEvent):void
{
MovieClip(this.root).gotoAndPlay(1, "quiz 2");
currentscore = currentscore + 0;
}
stop();
You have 4 functions there all with the same name. That's probably the source of the error.
Also, your script is too complicated. You don't even need 4 different handlers to begin with.
// Subscribe a single handler to all 4 buttons.
ans1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onAnswer);
ans2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onAnswer);
ans3.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onAnswer);
ans4.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onAnswer);
function onAnswer(e:MouseEvent):void
{
// Event.target contains the reference to the source of the event.
// Figuring if that was a correct answer is easy.
if (e.target == ans1)
{
currentscore += 1;
}
// In any case...
(root as MovieClip).gotoAndPlay(1, "quiz 2");
}

I'm very, VERY new at flash, and I've tried really hard to figure this out but it's not working. I keep getting the same error: "1120 Access of undefined property goGame" on line 96 and "1136 Incorrect number of arguments expected 1" on line 82.
I know both of these errors has something to do with the ordering of my functions, but I find that when I move the functions to be in front of the listener, more errors pop up demanding the same thing, and the only way I can fix those is moving them in front of each other etc. etc. So I'm kind of stuck. Help would be great appreciated!

In a class file, the order of functions and var definitions is not an issue (aside from anonymous and nested functions which you should probably steer clear of anyway).
Let's start with line 82. You call bossGame(), but when you look at the function, you've defined it so it requires a parameter:
function bossGame (event:KeyboardEvent)
It's expecting you to pass a KeyboardEvent to the function. Though I'm not sure why because looking at that function it seems to have nothing to do with Keyboard input nor does it use that event in any way.
So, take out the parameter:
function bossGame()
Or, make it optional by giving it a default value:
function bossGame(event:KeyboardEvent = null)
For the second error. Your goGame function is actually nested inside another function collision() , so it has no scope except inside the collision function. If you want to be able to access it outside of that function, then you should break it out.
As an aside, you comments beside your closing function brackets are often incorrect making it difficult to read your code.
I have 2 copies of a MovieClip (mcA) on my main timeline. Within mcA, I have 5 more MovieClips (mcB) and this code:
addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickedPoint);
function clickedPoint(e:MouseEvent) {
e.target.play();
setStat(e.target.parent);
}
So I toggle the frame of the mcB that was clicked, and I run a function that references the corresponding mcA on the main timeline.
In setStat, I call another function that checks the currentFrame of all the mcBs in the mcA.
getPoints(stat) {
var points = 0;
for(var i = 1; i <= 5; i++)
{
if(stat["pnt"+i].currentFrame == 2) points++;
}
trace(points);
return points;
}
My problem is that the setStat function seems to run before the currentFrame of the mcB that has been clicked on updates.
How should I change my code so that the mcB that is clicked on registers as having changed its currentFrame when I call setStat?
You could call setStat() after the next frame update. A simple way to do this is to add an ENTER_FRAME event handler which removes itself when first invoked:
function clickedPoint(e:MouseEvent) {
e.target.play();
e.target.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, function(e:Event):void {
e.target.removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, arguments.callee);
setStat(e.target.parent);
});
}
You can encapsulate this behavior in a function that behaves like setTimeout:
function callNextFrame(target:DisplayObject, callback:Function, ...params:Array):void {
target.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, function(e:Event):void {
target.removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, arguments.callee);
callback.apply(null, params);
});
}
// Usage:
callNextFrame(e.target as DisplayObject, setStat, e.target);
I have created a drag and drop mini-game and, once finished, I wish for the user to be able to click a "try again" button and have the whole thing start over.
I have read in to this and see that there are a couple of options but am stuck as to which would be best for me.
I have created an FLA with all of my library items, an AS file (MainGame.as) with the main game and all of it's functions in one class and a second AS file (MyGame.as) which calls the class file to play the game.
Which would work best for me?
I have nothing on the layers and just cannot figure out how to remove the swf and load it again with the click of a button.
Am I right in thinking that I would add the button to the MyGame file in the timerDone function?
If so, how would I use that to reload the SWF from the start?
Here is my timerDone function ...
function timerDone(e:TimerEvent=null):void
{
if (countDown == 0)
{
count = 0;
finalScore = score;
}
else
{
count = (30) - (myTimer.currentCount);
finalScore = (count * 10) + (score);
}
myText.text = "GAME OVER!";
myText.x = 195;
displayText();
myText2.text = "Your score = " + (finalScore);
displayText2();
}
I am thinking that I add the button after the last line and somehow refresh the SWF, is that right?
Or am I way off?
You should do something like that: you call the function toReplay at the end of your function timerDone:
Function timerDone, after "displayText2();"
tryAgain.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, toReplay);
Outside the function timerDone
/**
* The function toReplay calls the function init which
* initializes the Timer and all your variables.
**/
function toReplay(e:MouseEvent):void {
e.target.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, toReplay);
init();
}
function init():void {
// Timer
count = 0;
finalScore = 0;
myText.text = "";
// etc.
}
And the function init can directly be invoked to initialize all your variables at the begining of the game:
init();
I'm working on a trivia game that has 3 rounds per level. On the frame while playing the game you can see a box with the current score and when the user has completed the round they are taken to another frame where you can see the score for all three rounds. I can't seem to get the score to display correctly. Here's an image roughly illustrating how I would like the score displayed.
Here's the code I have on round1

On round 1 cleared the code looks like this:
ra.text=right_answers +"/5";
if(wrong_answers==3){gotoAndPlay(3);}
The code is the same on round 2 as round 1
and here's the code on round 2 cleared:
ra2.text=right_answers_r2 +"/10";
if(wrong_answers==3){gotoAndPlay(3);}
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,myFunction);
function myFunction(event:Event) {
trace("Do Something");
showScoreText();
}
function showScoreText():void{
MovieClip(root).round1.loadData();
ra.text = MovieClip(root).round1.loadData("");
trace("Score text visible");
}
Change your loadData function to:
function loadData(){
currentScore = saveDataObject.data.savedScore;
trace("Data Loaded!");
return currentScore;
//^One does not simply expect something returned without returning anything
}
and there's no accepted parameter, so change
ra.text = MovieClip(root).round1.loadData("");
to
ra.text = MovieClip(root).round1.loadData();
try this,
just assume you have completed round 1 and your currentScore is 10 now you are going to round 2 that is on frame 2 and you have a score textfield in the stage now you have to append the text like this score_txt.appendText(String(currentScore)+"\n"); This helps to see both scores round 1 & round 2 keep doing this for all round. Thats it.
you can store the currentScore at the end of the each rounds in associative array and display it.
var scorearray:Array = [{scored:5, outof:10},{scored:10, outof:20},{scored:20, outof:30}];
function displayScore():void
{
for(var i:int=0;i<scorearray.length; i++)
{
var texts:TextField = new TextField();
texts.text = scorearray[i].scored +"/" + scorearray[i].outof;
texts.y = i * 20 + 30;
addChild(texts)
}
}
displayScore();
Hey guys I am having a problem with Event Listeners in my AS3 file. I am trying to make this object that lasts for 83 frames to appear in a different location every time the parent (83 frame) movie clip resets. The problem is I have a function that places the object at a random y value which works great once. When it resets the ojbect appears on the same Y point. This is because I removeEventListener the function otherwise the object goes shooting off the screen when it loads. How do I call that event listener again without causing a loop that will shoot the object off screen?
Here is my code:
import flash.events.Event;
stop();
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, SeaWeedPostion);
//stage.addEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE, SeaWeedPostion);
function SeaWeedPostion(e:Event):void{
// if(newSeaWeed == 1) {
var randUint:uint = uint(Math.random() *500 + 50);
this.seaweedSet.y += randUint;
trace(randUint);
stopPos();
//}else{
//nothing
// }
}
function stopPos():void{
removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, SeaWeedPostion);
//var newSeaWeed = 0;
}
function resetSeaWeed():void{
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, SeaWeedPostion);
}
I have some // code in there from trying different things.
Anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks!
ENTER_FRAME event is triggered every frame, so rather than changing position on each frame maybe it's better to create a counter, count frames and if it reaches 82 change position of SeaWeed.
var counter:uint = 0;
Now add ENTER_FRAME listener
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, onEnterFrame);
function SeaWeedPostion(e:Event):void {
counter++;
//Are we there yet?
if(counter < 83) {
//Nope, carry on
}
else {
//Yey!
changePosition();
counter = 0;
}
}
//Reset SeaWeed position when called
function changePosition() {
var randUint:uint = uint(Math.random() *500 + 50);
this.seaweedSet.y += randUint;
trace(randUint);
}
