(Actionscript 3) Pixel-perfect collision detection between the walls and player? - actionscript-3

I am trying to make a flash game in which there is collision detection between the player and the walls. However, when I try using Wall11.hitTestPoint(), I cannot get the collision detection to be perfect. Then, I decided to use bitmap but it is hard to code this because the wall is irregularly shaped (it is not a square, rectangle, circle or any regular shape). Is there anyway to improve the collision detection with walls?
function checkCollision(_debug:Boolean = false):Boolean {
var bmd1:BitmapData = new BitmapData(Wall11.width, Wall11.height, true, 0);
var bmd2:BitmapData = new BitmapData(LevelOnePlayer.width, LevelOnePlayer.height, true, 0);
bmd1.draw(Wall11);
bmd2.draw(LevelOnePlayer);
if (_debug) {
var bmp:Bitmap = new Bitmap(bmd1);
bmp.x = Wall11.x;
bmp.y = Wall11.y;
addChild(bmp);
var bmp2:Bitmap = new Bitmap(bmd2);
bmp2.x = LevelOnePlayer.x;
bmp2.y = LevelOnePlayer.y;
addChild(bmp2);
}
if(bmd1.hitTest(new Point(Wall11.x, Wall11.y), 255, bmd2, new Point(LevelOnePlayer.x, LevelOnePlayer.y), 255))
return true;
if (!_debug) {
bmd1.dispose();
bmd2.dispose();
}
return false;
}

These are basics of hitTestPoint stuff.

Make three MovieClips appear and disappear inside a snowglobe when shaken

I used a creative cow tutorial to create my own snow globe that moves and snow reactivates - it really is a great tutorial.
What I'm trying to do is Change between 3 Movie clips in the ActionScript - But each time I add my movie clip names - Or try and add a simple visibility code I break my snow globe actions.
I have my MovieClip instances named friendsSceneThree, BuddiesSceneTwo and HatsOffSceneOne. I would think they'd be good but somewhere I'm missing something. Right now I can't get the code to even SEE The movieclips I'm getting a simple:
TypeError: Error #1006: value is not a function.at SnowGlobeContainer/update()
Down in the 'if drag' Update is where I'd like to Change from One MClip to the Next.
What Am I Not Seeing?!?! Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks
Here is the ActionScript:

// bounce
if(pos.y > bounds.height){
pos.y = bounds.height;
vel.y *= -(Math.random()*restitution);
}
y = pos.y;
}
}
}
}
I appreciate the help -- If you haven't noticed I'm new to all of this scripting. I'm looking in on lynda.com and other forums. the SnowGeneratorCircle.as is:
package {
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.events.Event;
public class SnowGeneratorCircle extends Sprite {
var totalFlakes:int = 500;
var flakes:Array = new Array();
public function SnowGeneratorCircle() {
addSnowFlakes();
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, update);
}
protected function addSnowFlakes():void{
for(var i:int=0; i<totalFlakes; i++){
var f:SnowFlake = new SnowFlake();
addChild(f);
flakes.push(f);
}
}
public function reset():void{
for(var i:int=0; i<totalFlakes; i++){
var f:SnowFlake = flakes[i];
f.reset();
}
}
public function update(e:Event=null):void {
for(var i:int=0; i<totalFlakes; i++){
var f:SnowFlake = flakes[i];
f.update(0);
}
}
}
}
I debugged - didn't clean up the code, because every time I did - it broke the actions. So I left the code with the double spacing. That's how it went in when I copied and pasted from the tutorial anyway.
Here's the error on line 173 - which is the MovieClip I'd like to have change.
Attempting to launch and connect to Player using URL /Volumes/Lacie Biggest S2S/GRaid/Veronica

I just don't know how to get the actionscript to find my MovieClips and then swap them out wt each shake of the globe.

I tried the code you supplied (without the numbers at the bottom) and it worked just fine for me.
error #1009 is a runtime error when you use a variable that hasn't been defined yet. I would suggest debugging from Flash Pro (ctrl + shift +enter) and let it show you where it breaks.
In your FLA, you said there is no code, but in the properties panel you do see the class field with "Splash" in it right? that is what links the class to the FLA.
It is possible that the runtime error you are seeing is not in the Splash class but in either BluBox or LoadingAnimation. Do those have class files? If not, take a look in the Library and you'll have two movie clips that are exported for actionScript with those names. Check in them to see if there might be some framescript.

Updating and displaying a variable in AS3

I have been following an AS3 tutorial for an avoider game, the trouble is the tutorial is for CS5 and I am using Flash Develop. I am completely stuck trying to update and display the score. I have read through several posts on SO and elsewhere and still can't seem to fix it.
Here is the Score class that I call to display the score and it contains the function that updates the "score" value.
package
{
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.events.TextEvent;
import flash.text.TextField
import flash.text.TextFormat
public class Score extends Sprite
{
public var scoreDisplay:String;
public var currentValue:int;
public function Score()
{
updateDisplay()
}
public function updateDisplay():void
{
scoreDisplay = currentValue.toString();
var format:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
format.size = 25;
format.font = "Verdana"
var myText:TextField = new TextField();
myText.defaultTextFormat = format;
myText.text = scoreDisplay;
myText.background = true;
myText.autoSize
myText.width = 50;
myText.height = 35;
addChild(myText)
myText.x = 340
myText.y = 10
myText.mouseEnabled = false
}
public function addToValue( amountToAdd:Number ):void
{
trace("addToValue")
trace(currentValue)
currentValue = currentValue + amountToAdd;
trace(currentValue + " 1")
}
}
}
and here is the Game class I am running to increase the "score" per tick.
package
{
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.events.TimerEvent;
import flash.text.TextField;
import flash.text.TextFormat;
import flash.utils.Timer;
import Score;
public class Game extends Sprite
{
public var army:Array;
public var gameTimer:Timer;
public var player:Player;
public var background:Sprite;
public function Game()
{
army = new Array();
var newenemy:Enemy = new Enemy(100, -15);
army.push(newenemy);
addChild(newenemy);
player = new Player();
addChild(player);
player.x = mouseX;
player.y = mouseY;
gameTimer = new Timer(20);
gameTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, move);
gameTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, onTick);
gameTimer.start();
}
private function move(timerEvent:TimerEvent):void
{
player.x = mouseX;
player.y = mouseY;
for each (var enemy:Enemy in army)
{
enemy.moveDownABit();
if (player.hitTestObject(enemy))
{
gameTimer.stop();
dispatchEvent( new AvatarEvent( AvatarEvent.DEAD));
}
}
}
public function onTick(e:Event):void
{
if (Math.random() < .1)
{
var randomX:Number = Math.random() * 400;
var newEnemy:Enemy = new Enemy(randomX, -15);
army.push(newEnemy);
addChild(newEnemy);
var instanceScore:Score = new Score();
instanceScore.addToValue(10)
}
}
}
}
My trace function outputs "addToValue, 0, 10 1" and repeats that, never changing the 'curentValue' variable past 0. I can tell that the 'amountToAdd' is functioning properly but have no idea why 'currentValue' is always reset to 0.
questions on SO that I viewed;
Display dynamic variable on next key frame AS3
Avoider Game Tutorial: Score not working
The problem is this:
var instanceScore:Score = new Score();
This means that every time there is a tick, you create new score. When you create new score, it starts from 0. You update it to 10, and on the next tick, you ignore the old value of 10 by creating a whole new class. The new class has a value of 0, as it never has it's value increased before. Then you increase it again.. and a new tick starts (looping)
What you need to do is to instantiate score instance ONLY ONCE and save it as a class member variable. Then you can call increase to it.

AS3 Turret and bullet error

They are stuck in place maybe because you are not moving them at all? If you are then please show me where. Try adding to the turret's enter frame event the following code:
for (var a:int = 0; bullets.length > a ; a++)
{
var temp:MovieClip;
temp = bullets[a] as Bullet;
var vel:Point = new Point();
vel.x = temp.target.x-temp.x;
vel.y = temp.target.y-temp.y;
vel.normalize(4);
temp.x += vel.x;
temp.y += vel.y;
}
And make an as file for the Bullet Class and add this:
package
{
import flash.geom.Point;
public class Bullet extends MovieClip
{
public var target:Point = new Point();
public function Bullet()
{
target.x = stage.mouseX;
target.y = stage.mouseY;
}
}
}
In Turret class bullets are added to the stage and array but doesn't have updated every frame like ships. See your own comment about updating bullets!

EDIT: When the game starts, the LV1 introduction text starts. Once the scrollV equals maxScrollV, a next buttons appears. Click that, it will delete itself and the game starts. Once you beat stage one, levelNum automatically equals 2 and I add this class again from my main document class. However, it will show the same text over and over, regardless of what level.
So does the urlLoader always stay the same? If so, how can I change it?
URLLoader can be reused to load another data with new URLRequest instance. It is completely OK to reuse same URLLoader instance to load another file. Your problem is not in URLLoader, but in logics or somewhere else. You'd better try debuggers to make sure variable level has correct value of 2.
Why are you loading text file EVERY second? It would be ok to load them only level is changed.
does this textLoader instance have event listeners attached?
:::::::::EDITED:::::::::
You are removing event Listeners from textLoader in clickNext() call. textLoader will load file, but will not run onLoaded() to update textBox.text
Your speechBoxCheck() method is doing it wrong. 1. You must make only 1 load() call in speechBox() method. Your conditionals in the method are not exclusive, and it may cause trouble when multiple load() calls are made (previous loading operation will be canceled). consider "else if" chain.
it is not recommended to do something like loading files in this fashion. Unnecessary I/O operations, especially in runtime, should be avoided. Only load files when it is needed; In this case, it is when level changes.
