Is it possible to make it so that when you click on a button the first time, a specific layer will become invisible... and then once you click on the button a second time, a different layer would become invisible, and so on? If so could I see an example? Thanks!
What I've tried :
/************************* RESET BUTTON **************************/
reset_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,reset);
function reset(e:Event) : void
{
eraserClip.graphics.clear();
initEraser();
erasableBitmapData.fillRect(erasableBitmapData.rect, 0xFFFFFFFF);
penny.visible = true;
maskee4.visible = true;
card.visible = false;
greencard.visible = true;
}
The idea is, once I hit the reset button once, the layer named card, will disappear. Underneath that a layer will be there, which is titled greencard. Once I hit the reset button a second time I want the greencard to disappear. As you see above, I was just doing (property name).visible = false;. This works for the first card but not any after because they would not appear.
If I understand you correctly, you could try something like this below :
reset_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, reset);
var clickCount : int = 0; //# start with zero since no clicks yet
card.visible = true;
greencard.visible = true;
function reset(e:Event) : void
{
clickCount += 1; //# adds +1 to current count of clicks
eraserClip.graphics.clear();
initEraser();
erasableBitmapData.fillRect(erasableBitmapData.rect, 0xFFFFFFFF);
penny.visible = maskee4.visible = true; //# if same value (true) you can chain them like this
if ( clickCount == 1) //if now 1 click
{
card.visible = false;
}
if ( clickCount == 2) //if now 2 clicks
{
greencard.visible = false;
}
}

Hey Everyone so I am currently working on a game and the objective is for the user to click on objects on the stage. But the user has to click on the largest objects first before the user clicks on the smaller objects. I wanted to make it that if the user clicks on a smaller object first and not the larger one then the game will be over. I thought I could go about setting this up with booleans for each object on the stage but my if statements arent cutting it here is how I have it set up:
Here are my objects and booleans I use:
//Add box references
public var box_1:MovieClip;
public var box_2:MovieClip;
public var box_3:MovieClip;
public var box_4:MovieClip;
//Booleans
private var b1:Boolean;
private var b2:Boolean;
private var b3:Boolean;
private var b4:Boolean;
now I set all the Booleans to false and if the user clicks on one of the objects I set the Boolean to true.
Here are my if statements tied to my main ENTER_FRAME Listener:
private function level_1():void
{
if (b1)
{
mainScreen.box_1.gotoAndPlay("B1GONE");
b1 = false;
}else
if (b2)
{
mainScreen.box_2.gotoAndPlay("B2GONE");
b2 = false;
}else
if (b3)
{
mainScreen.box_3.gotoAndPlay("B3GONE");
b3 = false;
}else
if (b2 && !b1)
{
endGameCondition();
}
}
On this statement:
if (b2 && !b1)
{
endGameCondition();
}
I was trying to state that if box_2 is true meaning that its clicked on and box_1 hasnt been clicked on yet which is the larger object then the game is now over due to the user not clicking on the largest object first. I have it setup to where box_1 is the largest object and the others are the next size down.
Can anyone see why this isnt working correctly or if there is a better method in doing this?
**** UPDATE HOW MY MAIN CLASS IS SETUP NOW **************
Where I add all my Movie clips and variables:
public class boxTapEngine extends MovieClip
{
//Screens
private var mainScreen:mcMainScreen;
//Add box references
public var box_1:MovieClip;
public var box_2:MovieClip;
public var box_3:MovieClip;
public var box_4:MovieClip;
private var aBoxesArray:Array;
in my constructor function:
aBoxesArray = [box_1, box_2, box_3, box_4];
//AddMainScreen
mainScreen = new mcMainScreen();
mainScreen.x = (stage.stageWidth / 2);
mainScreen.y = (stage.stageHeight / 2);
stage.addChild(mainScreen);
//Initiate numbers
nLevel = 1;
for each(var box:MovieClip in aBoxesArray)
{
box.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, boxClick);
}
finally on the boxClick function:
private function boxClick(e:MouseEvent):void
{
var box:MovieClip = e.currentTarget as MovieClip; //get a reference to one that was just clicked
box.mouseEnabled = false; //we'll use this as a flag to know if it's been clicked yet
box.gotoAndPlay("BGONE");
//check to see if previous boxes have been clicked.
//this will iterate through all the boxes in order
for (var i:int = 0; i < aBoxesArray.length; i++)
{
if(aBoxesArray[i] == box) return; //if we've reached the currently clicked box, all is good, no need to keep checking so let's exit this loop and function
if (!aBoxesArray[i].mouseEnabled)
{ //one of the previous boxes hasn't been clicked yet
endGameCondition();
}
}
}
Probably isn't working because your final else if statement won't ever be reached (because you're handling b2 == true earlier on which will then bypass all other else statements). Plus your setting b2 to false when you handle it earlier, so it will always be false by the time it gets your final statement.
You need to move that final else if before you check for the other things. See code comments:
//Do this first, and not as a else if
if (b2 && !b1){
endGameCondition();
return; //no need to check checking things if it's game over
}
//now you can do the rest
if (b1)
{
mainScreen.box_1.gotoAndPlay("B1GONE");
b1 = false;
}else
if (b2)
{
mainScreen.box_2.gotoAndPlay("B2GONE");
b2 = false;
}else
if (b3)
{
mainScreen.box_3.gotoAndPlay("B3GONE");
b3 = false;
}
As an aside, you don't need the enter frame handler, you can just check everything on click. Something like this would work:
var boxes:Array = [box_1,box_2,box_3,box_4]; //make sure this is in order of what needs to be clicked first
//if you wanted to actually sort them dynamically based off total size (regardless of what order you've stuffed them in the array), you could add in something like this, which will order them from biggest to smallest:
boxes.sort(function(a,b){
//compare which item has a greater total area (width * height)
if(a.width * a.height > b.width * b.height) return -1; //A is bigger, so put a before b in the array
if(a.width * a.height < b.width * b.height) return 1; //put b before a in the array
return 0; //return 0 if they are the same
});
for each(var box:MovieClip in boxes){
box.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, boxClick,false,0,true);
}
function boxClick(e:Event):void {
var box:MovieClip = e.currentTarget as MovieClip; //get a reference to one that was just clicked
box.mouseEnabled = false; //we'll use this as a flag to know if it's been clicked yet
box.gotoAndPlay("BGONE");
//or you could just do this to get rid of the box:
if(box.parent) box.parent.removeChild(box);
//check to see if previous boxes have been clicked.
//this will iterate through all the boxes in order
for(var i:int=0;i<boxes.length;i++){
if(boxes[i] == box) return; //if we've reached the currently clicked box, all is good, no need to keep checking so let's exit this loop and function
if(!boxes[i].mouseEnabled){ //one of the previous boxes hasn't been clicked yet
endGameCondition();
}
}
}
//Store your clips in an array
var myClips:Array = [mc1,mc2,mc3,mc4];
//get the clip sizes and store it to an array.
var sizes:Array = new Array();
for (var i:uint = 0; i < myClips.length; i++) {
sizes.push(myClips[i].width);
}
//apply Numeric array sort.
sizes.sort(Array.NUMERIC);
function onClickAction(e:MouseEvent):void {
//Check wheather the array is empty or not.
if (sizes.length != 0) {
//Check wheather the clicked object bigger or not.
if (e.target.width == sizes[sizes.length - 1]) {
trace("Bigger");
e.target.alpha = .5;
sizes.splice(sizes.length-1,1);
} else {
trace("Smaller");
}
}
}
i am new on as3.
i want to ask how to hide button after click two times or more on as3.
the code below i got from code snippets, but the button hide after one click.
BTNhint.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_ClickToHide);
function fl_ClickToHide(event:MouseEvent):void
{
BTNhint.visible = false;
}
You have just to count the button clicks and then after two clicks you can hide your button :
var click_counter:int = 0;
BTNhint.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_ClickToHide);
function fl_ClickToHide(event:MouseEvent):void
{
click_counter ++; // you can write it : click_counter = click_counter + 1;
if(click_counter >= 2){ // you can write it : if(click_counter > 1)
BTNhint.visible = false;
}
}
You can use a constant (LIM) to determine how many times your button must be clicked, compare it to a variable (c) that is counting your clicks, and use your MouseEvent's target property to target your button itself when you want it to disappear:
var c:int = 0;
const LIM:int = 2;
BTNhint.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, hideMe);
function hideMe(event:MouseEvent):void
{
if(++c >= LIM) event.target.visible = false;
}
Okay, this is another question for the game I am making. I am putting together a second level, where you need to press a long series of keys at the right time. Pressing them too early or too late results in failure. What I need to know is how to detect when a key ISN'T pressed, when it should have been. This is what I have so far:
var count3:Number = 23;
var myTimer3:Timer = new Timer(1000, count3);
var timeLeft3:Number = count3;
var buttonPressed:Boolean = false;
var btnCounter:Number = 2;
var btnTimer:Timer = new Timer(1000, btnCounter);
myTimer3.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, countdown3);
myTimer3.start();
btnTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, btnCountdown);
btn1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, buttonPress);
btn1.visible = false;
btn2.visible = false;
btn3.visible = false;
btn4.visible = false;
btn5.visible = false;
btn6.visible = false;
btn7.visible = false;
btn8.visible = false;
btn9.visible = false;
function countdown3(event:TimerEvent): void {
if (((count3)-myTimer3.currentCount)==20) {
btn1.visible = true;
btnTimer.start();
} else if (((count3)-myTimer3.currentCount)==19) {
btn1.visible = true;
} else {
btn1.visible = false;
}
}
function btnCountdown(event:TimerEvent):void {
if (((btnCounter)-btnTimer.currentCount)==0) {
if (buttonPressed = true) {
btnTimer.stop();
} else {
gotoAndStop(2);
}
}
}
function buttonPress (event:MouseEvent): void {
buttonPressed = true;
}
For some reason, it won't do anything when btnCounter hits 0. If someone could help me sort this out, that would be awesome. Thanks.
N.B. This is a personal project, I am just learning actionscript
Start a timer for the time duration when the button is supposed to be pressed (for example, if the button must be pressed within 2 seconds, set the timer's interval to 2 seconds).
Then create a global Boolean variable (or class member variable, however your scene is set up) and set it to false initially. When the button is pressed, set this variable to true and disable the timer.
If the timer fires and this variable is false, it means that it hasn't been disabled by the button so the user didn't click the button within 2 seconds.
Don't use terribly short times - timers are not very accurate and processor speed may have an effect on their duration. (Human reaction times aside.)
thanks for taking the time to read this.
let me preface this by saying I'm extremely new to Flash/Actionscript and haven't done any coding in about 15years. Basically I've been asked by my employer to create a presentation for a client. This presentation uses checkboxes to display different segments of an image (actually buttons). These buttons in turn link to other frames with information about the section they clicked on.
So far all is working, I've got all my checkboxes linked to buttons with a check all/ uncheck all button .. where I'm struggling is getting flash to remember what state the checkboxes were in when I left the 'map frame'.
Area_1_Chk.addEventListener(Event.CHANGE, toggleArea_1_Btn, false, 0, true);
Area_2_Chk.addEventListener(Event.CHANGE, toggleArea_2_Btn, false, 0, true);
/* Ensures that all checkboxes begin in the off state.
*/
Area_1_Btn.visible = false
Area_2_Btn.visible = false
/* Defines the Show All Checkbox and sets states to true/false
*/
ShowAll_Chk.addEventListener(Event.CHANGE, toggleMulti, false, 0, true);
function toggleMulti(e:Event):void
{
var SAC:Boolean = e.target.selected;
if(SAC)
{
Area_1_Chk.selected = true;
Area_1_Btn.visible = true;
Area_2_Chk.selected = true;
Area_2_Btn.visible = true;
}
else
{
Area_1_Chk.selected = false;
Area_1_Btn.visible = false;
}
}
function toggleArea_1_Btn(e:Event):void
{
Area_1_Chk.selected ? Area_1_Btn.visible = true : Area_1_Btn.visible = false;
}
function toggleArea_2_Btn(e:Event):void
{
Area_2_Chk.selected ? Area_2_Btn.visible = true : Area_2_Btn.visible = false;
}
Area_1_Btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, A1_ClickToGoToAndStopAtFrame);
Area_2_Btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, A2_ClickToGoToAndStopAtFrame);
/* Sets link to frame */
function A1_ClickToGoToAndStopAtFrame(event:MouseEvent):void
{
gotoAndStop(2);
}
function A2_ClickToGoToAndStopAtFrame(event:MouseEvent):void
{
gotoAndStop(3);
}
stop();
Easiest thing would be to put them on a layer that continues to exist in frame 3, but make them invisible from code.
Other options include having 2 variables that hold the states and manually assigning them when returning to the frame (variables are accessible across frames), never changing the frame at all (just showing and hiding items), put them on frame 3 outside the stage area, etc..
I'm trying to make a flash game for a touch screen (android). My player can take some items and put them in his inventory.
The player can, then, click on a item in his inventory and drag it where he wants on the scene.
But, I'd like to make the item disapear of the screen when the player double tap on the screen.
For the moment, my player need just to taps one. (and it's frustrating as, if he hasn't put the item into the correct space and wants to corrects it by dragging the item again, it's disappearing since he clicks on a wrong space).
I know that I have to change my "removeDraggedItem" function, but I can't figure it out how to tell it that I want this function only if the player ahs double tap on the screen (not just one click)
Here's my code. If someone has an idea....
public function itemClick(e:Event):void{
inv.draggingItem = false;
var nameofMC:String;
var tempMC;
var draggedName:String = draggedItem.displayName;
if (draggedItem.lookTag)
draggedName = draggedName + draggedItem.lookTag;
if (newFriend){
nameofMC = "action_"+draggedName+"_"+newFriend.displayName;
//trace ("Looking for "+nameofMC);
try {
tempMC = getDefinitionByName(nameofMC);
//trace ("MC found.");
removeDraggedItem();
if (speech)
speech.dispatchEvent(new Event("stopTalking"));
tempMC = new tempMC;
playerAction = new PlayerAction(stageRef, draggedItem, newFriend, tempMC, false);
}
catch(e){
//trace ("No MC found. Checking for dialog option...");
try {
var tempData = linesData.dialog[newFriend.displayName].useObject[draggedItem.displayName];
if (tempData != "" && tempData != null){
//trace ("Dialog option found.");
removeDraggedItem();
alignPlayer();
if (speech)
speech.dispatchEvent(new Event("stopTalking"));
dialog = new Dialog(stageRef, newFriend, draggedItem, false);
}
}
catch(e){
//trace ("No dialog option found. Defaulting to player line.");
alignPlayer();
if (speech)
speech.dispatchEvent(new Event("stopTalking"));
var actionName:String = "Use_"+newFriend.displayName;
if (newFriend.lookTag)
actionName = actionName+newFriend.lookTag;
speech = new Speech(stageRef, draggedItem, actionName);
}
}
} else {
removeDraggedItem();
}
}
private function removeDraggedItem():void{
stageRef.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, dragItem);
stageRef.removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, itemHitTest);
draggedItem.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, itemClick);
stageRef.removeChild(draggedItem);
toolbar.useText.text = "";
if (stageRef.contains(this))
stageRef.removeChild(this);
Mouse.show();
Engine.playerControl = true;
}
On the first tap set a variable (eg screenTap) to true and set up a Timer for the maximum amount of milliseconds you will allow between taps in a double-tap. When the Timer expires reset screenTap to false.
Then, in your tap screen handler, check if screenTap is true. If so, remove the item.
Try to use MouseEvent.DOUBLE_CLICK instead of MouseEvent.CLICK.
Make sure double click is enabled for your stage :
stageRef.doubleClickEnabled=true;
then use :
stageRef.addEventListener(MouseEvent.DOUBLE_CLICK,removeDraggedItem);
