I'm trying to create alternate endings based on a user's score in my flash game. For some reason it will only play the alternate ending on frame 17, and never plays the one on frame 59.
back_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN,gotoFinalScreen);
function gotoFinalScreen (e:MouseEvent)
{
if (score>=2){
gotoAndPlay(17);
}
else if (score<=3){
gotoAndPlay(59);
}
}
My animations are on two separate layers "cat" and "start/end"

I have a problem about my code in my timer. I've made a movie clip and put this code in my first frame inside the movie clip:
if (time_txt.text ==0) {
this._parent.gotoAndPlay(5);
}
And I have this code in my 12th frame:
time_txt.text = Number (time_txt.text)-1;
gotoAndPlay(1);
Its in the 12th frame because im using 12 frames per second. And go to 5th frame in my first code because if the time is over the frame will go to the 5th frame in my main scene that has "times up" word. By the way this code is inside my movie clip, and the movie clip is inside my scene 1. By the way im making a game. And im using air for android for my file type. Thanks
So for my latest Flash project, I'm designing a game. The dimetric character can move in 8 directions. I've been given the spritesheets for the hats, hair styles, etc., that the player can wear.
The spritesheets contain the images for each direction, AND they contain four frames of animation (four per direction) for when the player is walking. This is basically the layout of the Spritesheet (and all of the files and "frames" are the same size, which makes things easier):
[IDLE] [WALKING]
[S][SE][E][N][NW][W][S1][S2][S3][S4][SE1][SE2]...
My goal is to embed all of the items in a single file other than the main one. But I need to implement walking animation.
One thought I had is to set the main SWF's framerate to 7 FPS, then use an Event.ENTER_FRAME handler to alternate between the walking ones. Programmatically animating.
Another thought is to create SWFs for each item of clothing, then use motion tweening to move the spritesheet symbol over the stage.
What I'd really like it so avoid using Adobe Animate entirely. Even if there's an approach that requires the use of Flex, I'd take it if it meant saying goodbye to graphically-designing.
using flash builder (flex) does not mean that good bye graphic! there is a relationship between Adobe Flash and any As3 Ide like FlashBuilder or FlashDevelop.

i dont undrestand! why 7 fps and also why Event.ENTER_FRAME
there might be a character movieclip, whit above frames in its time line, well! to playing any animation (for particular direction) you have to call mc.gotoAndPlay("walk_S"); then it will be played automatically, if you need lower frame rate, only select each frame by mouse pointer and then press [F5] in time line to insert a blank frame gape between keyframes.
as i said before, you must use a callback script at the end frame of the each loop animation like walk_s walk_ne ...
also idle animations must be called like it: mc.gotoAndStop("idle_s");
with University done I've finally had time to go back to practicing my Flash work, and I need some help with getting sound to loop and change depending on what part of the animation is playing.
This is also partly a follow up question to an older one I asked, so look here to get more detail as to where I'm coming from if you don't understand! (I've solved that issue, the current one relates to following up on it!)
Flash AS3 | Finishing current animation set before code is executed
The situation is basic: I have two different scenes, one of a man walking and one of a man running. It loops seamlessly of the man walking until you hit a button, where it finishes the animation then starts looping the run animation. Likewise, hitting the button again, finishes the loop before going back to the looping walk animation. The code for the button is below.
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
Next2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, Change_2);
function Change_2(event: MouseEvent): void
{
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, enterFrame);
function enterFrame(e:Event):void {
if (currentFrame == 30) {
gotoAndPlay(31);
removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, enterFrame);
}
}
}
My issue is trying to get a footstep sound to match up with these animations. So while the man is walking, the 'walking footsteps' sound clip will play and loop alongside the animation, and when the button is pushed and the animation moves into the running animation, the 'running footsteps'' sound will play.
Any help on this would be much appreciated. I'm terrible when it comes to anything audio/code based.
Well u can check about soundChannel. soundChannel can stop() and play() ur audio.
So import ur external sound or use internal one. ur code probably seems like this.
var mySound:Sound = new Sound(new URLRequest("YourSoundPath"));
var sc:SoundChannel = new SoundChannel();
//when u wanna play
sc = mySound.play();
//when u wanna stop
sc = mySound.stop();

If you want to really MATCH the footsteps to the animation (for example, the step sound should play when the player have put his feet down) the only sure way to do that is to place the sound on a different layer where your animation is and set the sound to play as "stream" (if i remember correctly).
Otherwise the animation might be out of sync because of different computer capabilities, current computer or graphics card load etc.
When the sound is set to play as "stream" the flash player is orienting on the sound and drop frames if the graphics are slow to keep the sound and animation in sync
I'm incredibly rusty at Flash having not touched it in probably 10 years and can't seem to figure this out, or find it online:
I have a MovieClip with two layers, each having a Shape Tween. Basically its a Door that opens and closes.
I dropped it onto the main timeline but now I need it to start and stop. This is where I'm now struggling since the last time I used Flash actions could go on specific keyframes.
I made a new layer called actions just to keep things organized and currently have:
barrier1.stop();
I just want something that lets me state a frame, say 57 to have barrier1 start playing on. Tried using play(); and Event.ENTER_FRAME with no luck. How would I set this up?
Well it is easy with the instance name of your movieClip
barrier1.stop(); // Stops the movieClip
barrier1.play(); // Resumes
barrier1.gotoAndStop(12) // Goes to 12nd frame and stop
barrier1.gotoAndPlay(12) // Goes to 12nd frame and play
barrier1.currentFrame // returns barrier currentframe
For capturing frame from scene level:
this.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,onLoop);
function onLoop(event:Event){
if(barrier1.currentFrame == 57){
trace("BARRIER is in 57. frame");
}
}
Inside on the animation clip on the first frame
var root:MovieClip = this.parent as MovieClip
root.makeStartSceneAnimation()
**in timeline scene level [root]**
function makeStartSceneAnimation(){
/// barrier started to play
}
If you are using timeline, you can add Key frame on the desired frame, and then add stop(); as Action in the action layer. But bear in mind that if you do this in the main timeline - it will stop everything. If you want to stop that MovieClip, then you have to do this inside MoviceClip's timeline.
For practice, I'm coding a really simple 2D platforming game in Flash using AS3. I'd like to define two different types of terrain surfaces that the player can walk on based on classic platforming elements. Type1: the player can walk on, and if the player jumps, they will hit their head on it and bounce back to the ground. Type2: the player can also walk on, but if the player jumps and hits their head, they will simply pass through the surface and not bounce back to the ground.
I am using hitTestPoint to resolve collisions for this. My question is: What would be the best method to test for what TYPE of ground I am colliding with? Each ground type has it's own Class associated with it in my Flash IDE and all the different terrain surface types are in the same movie clip on the stage.
Currently I'm testing to see if it hit one type of ground surface, then i'm testing if it hit the other, and then based on those results, I process what I want to happen. This seems to work okay right now, but I'm imagining that I may want to create more than 2 types of ground to collide with. For example, moving platforms. It seems like the code will start to get complex
Eg.
if(_groundType1.hitTestPoint(_player.x, _player.y, true))
{
if(_groundType2.hitTestPoint(_player.x, _player.y, true))
{
//don't hit the players head
}
//hit the players head
}
