The drag and drop works, however, I have no idea how to create an if statement that goes to the next scene when all movieclips have been placed on the target.
I've tried placing the instance names in an if statement with the hittestobject however, no luck.
import flash.events.TouchEvent;
import flash.ui.Multitouch;
import flash.ui.MultitouchInputMode;
import flash.display.MovieClip;
/* Touch and Drag Event
Allows the object to be moved by holding and dragging the object.
*/
var objectoriginalX:Number;
var objectoriginalY:Number;
Multitouch.inputMode = MultitouchInputMode.TOUCH_POINT;
var lemons:Array = [lemon1_mc, lemon2_mc, lemon3_mc, lemon4_mc, lemon5_mc];
for each(var lemonMC:MovieClip in lemons)
{
lemonMC.buttonMode = true;
lemonMC.addEventListener(TouchEvent.TOUCH_BEGIN, pickobject);
lemonMC.addEventListener(TouchEvent.TOUCH_END, dropobject);
lemonMC.startX = lemonMC.x;
lemonMC.startY = lemonMC.y;
}
var fl_DragBounds:Rectangle = new Rectangle(0, 0, stage.stageWidth, stage.stageHeight);
function pickobject(event:TouchEvent):void
{
event.target.startTouchDrag(event.touchPointID, false, fl_DragBounds);
event.target.parent.addChild(event.target);
objectoriginalX = event.target.x;
objectoriginalY = event.target.y;
}
function dropobject(event:TouchEvent):void
{
if(event.target.hitTestObject(target_mc)){
event.target.buttonMode = false;
event.target.x = target_mc.x;
event.target.y = target_mc.y;
event.target.visible = false;
} else {
event.target.x = event.target.startX;
event.target.y = event.target.startY;
event.target.buttonMode = true;
}
}
var melons:Array = [melon1_mc, melon2_mc, melon3_mc, melon4_mc, melon5_mc, melon6_mc, melon7_mc];
for each(var melonMC:MovieClip in melons)
{
melonMC.buttonMode = true;
melonMC.addEventListener(TouchEvent.TOUCH_BEGIN, pickobject2);
melonMC.addEventListener(TouchEvent.TOUCH_END, dropobject2);
melonMC.startX = melonMC.x;
melonMC.startY = melonMC.y;
}
var fl_DragBounds2:Rectangle = new Rectangle(0, 0, stage.stageWidth, stage.stageHeight);
function pickobject2(event:TouchEvent):void
{
event.target.startTouchDrag(event.touchPointID, false, fl_DragBounds2);

}

{

event.target.buttonMode = false;
event.target.x = target_mc.x;
event.target.y = target_mc.y;

event.target.y = event.target.startY;
event.target.buttonMode = true;

How about adding a counter that is equal to number of objects to drag, then every time you drop object (and detect if it was on target) you decrements the counter and at the end of the function you check if it's 0?
An easy way to do this would be to remove your lemons/melons from their arrays when they pass the hit test. Then check if each array is empty and continue to the next scene should that be the case.
You can actually reduce redundant code and use the same function (dropobject) for both lemons and melons.
function dropobject(event:TouchEvent):void {
//Figure out which array this belongs to (is it a lemon or a melon)
var array:Array; //the array the dropped item belongs to
var hitMC:MovieClip; //the hit object for the lemon or melon
if(lemons.indexOf(event.currentTarget) > -1){ //if the lemon array contains the currentTarget
array = lemons;
hitMC = target_mc;
}else{
array = melons;
hitMC = target_null;
}
if(event.currentTarget.hitTestObject(hitMC)){
event.currentTarget.buttonMode = false;
event.currentTarget.x = hitMC.x;
event.currentTarget.y = hitMC.y;
event.currentTarget.visible = false;
//remove the item from it's array
array.removeAt(array.indexOf(event.currentTarget));
//check if there are any items left
if(lemons.length < 1 && melons.length < 1){
//both arrays are empty, so move on
play(); //or however you want to move on
}
}
}
Getting more advanced, a better way to do this would be to make a base class for your lemons, melons and anything else you want to drag in the future. Then you can add the dragging functionality into that base class and add properties for the hit target and an event for when it's hit it's target. This would give you one code base that can be easily applied to any library object.
I am trying to create an air application using flash profession cc. I have functions called show bill and print bill in it. When i print directly with out showing the bill adobe air application works correctly. But when i try to use the show bill function and then try to print the bill it show the print dialog box and when i give a print command an"Adobe Air Application Stop working window shows up" . Here is the code of show bill function
public function ShowBill(e: MouseEvent): void {
total();
Merge();
bswap();
billing.x = 450;
billing.y = 100;
billing.height = 300 ;
billing.width = 500 ;
addChild(billing);
billing.close_btn1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, rmvBilling);
billing.close_btn1.visible = true;
if(billing._item.item1.text != "")
{
billing._item.visible = true;
billing._item.close_btn1.visible = true;
}
if(item2.item1.text != "")
{
item2.close_btn1.visible = true;
}
if(item3.item1.text != "")
{
item3.close_btn1.visible = true;
}
if(item4.item1.text != "")
{
item4.close_btn1.visible = true;
}
if(item5.item1.text != "")
{
item5.close_btn1.visible = true;
}
if(item6.item1.text != "")
{
item6.close_btn1.visible = true;
}
if(item7.item1.text != "")
{
item7.close_btn1.visible = true;
}
if(item8.item1.text != "")
{
item8.close_btn1.visible = true;
}
if(item9.item1.text != "")
{
item9.close_btn1.visible = true;
}
if(item10.item1.text != "")
{
item10.close_btn1.visible = true;
}
total();
}
Here is the code for print bill
public function printContent(e: MouseEvent) {
update1();
billing.close_btn1.visible = false;
billing._item.close_btn1.visible = false;
item2.close_btn1.visible = false;
item3.close_btn1.visible = false;
item4.close_btn1.visible = false;
item5.close_btn1.visible = false;
item6.close_btn1.visible = false;
item7.close_btn1.visible = false;
item8.close_btn1.visible = false;
item9.close_btn1.visible = false;
item10.close_btn1.visible = false;
var printJob: PrintJob = new PrintJob();
if (printJob.start()) {
if (billing.width < printJob.pageWidth) {
billing.width = printJob.pageWidth;
billing.scaleY = billing.scaleX;
}
printJob.addPage(billing);
printJob.send();
clear();
}
}
public function update1():void{
var phpVars:URLVariables = new URLVariables();
var phpFileRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://localhost/icyspicy/update.php");
phpFileRequest.method = URLRequestMethod.POST;
phpFileRequest.data = phpVars;
var phpLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
phpLoader.dataFormat = URLLoaderDataFormat.VARIABLES;
phpVars.systemCall="update";
phpVars.table = String(tabNbill1.getDubTblNo.text);
phpVars.date = String(billing.the_date.text);
phpVars.items = String(billing._item.item1.text+","+item2.item1.text+","+item3.item1.text+","+item4.item1.text+","+item5.item1.text+","+item6.item1.text+","+item7.item1.text+","+item8.item1.text+","+item9.item1.text+","+item10.item1.text );
phpVars.quantity = String(billing._item.q2.text+","+item2.q2.text+","+item3.q2.text+","+item4.q2.text+","+item5.q2.text+","+item6.q2.text+","+item7.q2.text+","+item8.q2.text+","+item9.q2.text+","+item10.q2.text);
phpVars.total =String( billing.total.text);
phpLoader.load(phpFileRequest);
postData(mypath, getResponse);
}
Every function is working correctly but the conflict between printbill and show bill i could not solve ..Please guys need suggestion and help..Thank You
Sometimes spooling display objects with text and shapes can crash the application. While I can't comment on the why, I can share what I've done in the past to work around this problem.
Printing the page as a bitmap can sometimes fix this crashing problem. In your case that would like this:
var printOptions:PrintJobOptions = new PrintJobOptions();
printOptions.printAsBitmap = true;
printJob.addPage(billing,null,printOptions);
OR for a shorter inline way:
printJob.addPage(billing, null, new PrintJobOptions(true));
Do note, that sometimes doing this makes text not as crisp looking, as FlashPlayer is basically drawing the object to pixel data before sending it to the spooler.
I'm trying to do a "save" and "restore" function for my game on Android (Adobe AIR).
So far, It seems to work for saving the game, but for I've got an error for the loading.
Here's what I did,
public function save(e){
//Save data in local memory
if(useShared){
shared = SharedObject.getLocal("myApp");
shared.data[saveNum] = jsonSave;
shared.flush();
}
private function restore(e){
if (useShared){
// Get data from local memory
shared = SharedObject.getLocal("myApp");
if(shared.data[saveNum]){
trace("Restoring: " + shared.data[saveNum]);
allSaveData = new Object;
allSaveData = JSON.stringify(shared.data[saveNum]);
}
}
Between I put all the information needed (player's current location...etc).
Did I make a mistake in my functions ?
Thank you for your help,
EDIT :
If I click on "save" everything seems to work, but if then I can't load my game. In debug mode I've got this error :
ReferenceError: Error #1069: Property datetime not found on String and there is no default value.

the first quiz played perfectly with that code,
and i have no clue why this error appeared,
i'm beginner in as3 so i'm still lack in many ways,
can anyone help me,?
i really apreciate it.. :)
Are you sure that you're parsing a non-null TextFormat instance as the second argument of createText()?
The error means that you're supplying a null value for tf:TextFormat.
Unless I am missing something, your issue is here:
messageField2 = createText("Loading Questions...",questionFormat,gameSprite,0,50,550);
&
messageField = createText("Tap Untuk Memulai",scoreFormat,gameSprite,-10,250,500);
I see questionFormat2 and scoreFormat2 are instantiated, but I never see a questionFormat or scoreFormat. Your error says that the defaultTextFormat (or TextFormat supplied using setTextFormat(), for future reference), cannot be null. Null means that the object has not been instantiated/created yet. questionFormat and scoreFormat are never instantiated. Hell, their variables do not even exist. If you were using a proper development IDE (FlashBuilder, FlashDevelop, etc), you'd never be able to compile this code.
Switch those two lines to use the correct formats and you should be fine.
I'm stuck! If I need to go into more detail please just leave a comment and I will elaborate.
I've tried to create some code that dynamically adds linked objects to the stage and then removes then when dropped in the correct area, which in turn creates the next and so on. The information is in an array and it cycles through until the game is complete and the targetScore is met. If a timer runs out the games stops, and the win() or lose() functions are called and a retry button is displayed. This works fine until the game has stopped and I try to restart the program using the retry() function. The retry() function attempts to reset everything as it was when the program started, by creating the baseball object again and then letting the releaseToDrop() repeat everything as it did the first time. Depending on where I have stopped, when I get around to the same place a second time, the clicktoDrag1() function fails to pick up the current object. It could be on any 1 of the 8 objects that are created dynamically from the library. When the stage hears the listener on *mouse_up* I can click and drag the object but then it kind of falls apart as it goes slightly out of synch with the arrays (which were reset in the retry() function), the target which it's dropped on doesn't recognise it even though all the trace statement read as they should. I know this is a lot to look though, and I'm not sure if this can be solved via the forum, any general tips would be appreciated though.
I normally keep the code simple, but I want to advance and make the code write itself, which seems to work until things get too complicated for me.
I've never posted for help before, but I've given this everything, if it can't be fixed I'll have to start again and simplify.
Thanks in advance if anyone takes the time to look at this, I would be humbled - and would love to use this forum more to become a better coder.

The OP has solved the problem, as is indicated in this comment:
I hadn't removed the object on game end, I had hidden it so when it came around again a duplicate was created. I've removed it instead of hiding and it works fine. Having two clips with on the stage created some strange drag and drop behavior which sort of gave it away. "This is not 'my' answer. MAngoPop answered this in the comments but forgot to add it as an answer."
