Sprite movement basically right but - actionscript-3

This is basically just drag and double click to set (so drag is temporarily disabled) but the sprite doesn't keep with the mouse- can someone point me to better code- otherwise I'll with go with this- so much more to do.
//The initial event performed when the button is first clicked;
internal var m_nDoubleClickSpeed:Number = 300;
internal var m_toMouse:Number;
internal var moveready:Boolean = false;
internal var initalx:uint;
internal var initialy:uint;
internal var move:Boolean;
internal function clickDoubleClick(e:MouseEvent):void {
if (isSet == false) {
this.startDrag();
}
if (isNaN(m_toMouse)==false) {
clearTimeout(m_toMouse);
HandleDoubleClick();
} else {
m_toMouse = setTimeout(HandleSingleClick, m_nDoubleClickSpeed);
}
}
internal function HandleSingleClick():void {
trace("HandleSingleClick");
trace("isSet");
trace(isSet);
this.stopDrag();
m_toMouse = NaN;
}
internal function HandleDoubleClick():void {
if (isSet == false) {
isSet = true;
this.stopDrag()
} else {
isSet = false;
}
trace("HandleDoubleClick");
m_toMouse = NaN;
}
internal function goodX(inX:Number):Number {
if (inX < 0) {
return 0;
}
if (inX > (stage.stageWidth) ) {
return (stage.stageWidth);
}
return inX;
}
internal function goodY(inY:Number):Number {
if (inY < 0) {
return 0;
}
if (inY > stage.stageHeight) {
return stage.stageHeight;
}
return inY;
}

I'm not sure if I understood you correctly. So you want to start drag on single click and drag until doubleclicked right? If so you can try something like that:
public class ClickAndDrag extends Sprite
{
private var clickTimeout:uint;
private var doubleClickSpeed:int = 500;
private var clickedOnce:Boolean;
private var mouseOnClick:Point;
private var isDragging:Boolean;
public function ClickAndDrag()
{
graphics.beginFill(Math.random()*0xffffff, 1);
graphics.drawCircle(0, 0, 20);
graphics.endFill();
this.buttonMode = true;
addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, handleMouseDown);
}
private function handleMouseDown(e:MouseEvent):void
{
if (isDragging)
{
if (clickedOnce)
handleDoubleClicked();
else
{
//if it's not clicket within next doubleClickSpeed ms then doubleClickSpeed will be set to false;
clickedOnce = true;
clickTimeout = setTimeout( handleClickTimeout, doubleClickSpeed );
}
}
else
{
handleClickAndDrag();
}
}
//clicked once when dragging
private function handleClickOnce():void
{
graphics.clear();
graphics.beginFill(Math.random()*0xffffff, 1);
graphics.drawCircle(0, 0, 20);
graphics.endFill();
}
//clicked once when not dragging
private function handleClickAndDrag():void
{
isDragging = true;
this.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, handleFrame);
mouseOnClick = new Point(this.mouseX, this.mouseY);
}
//doubleclicked when dragging
private function handleDoubleClicked():void
{
clearTimeout(clickTimeout);
clickedOnce = false;
this.removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, handleFrame);
isDragging = false;
}
private function handleClickTimeout():void
{
clickedOnce = false;
handleClickOnce();
}
private function handleFrame(e:Event):void
{
this.x = stage.mouseX - mouseOnClick.x;
this.y = stage.mouseY - mouseOnClick.y;
}
}
It basically waits for mousedown and if it's already dragging it checks if you clicked once (changes color) ot twice (stops dragging). Or if it's not dragging yet then it starts dragging. You may also want to handle leaving the stage (Event.MOUSE_LEAVE).

My Character Won't Move :( Multiple .as files AS3

I have a few .as files. They are: MainClass.as, FrontEnd.as, Levels.as, and Hero.as. My problem (as far as I know) is in my Hero.as file. Let me descibe how I have it all set up thusfar because I have been a bit concerned that there are better ways of doing things in AS3.
MainClass.as makes a variable of FrontEnd (menus, namely the main menu) and calls it up (addChild).
FrontEnd.as are my menus. buttons and whatnot...
Levels.as right now just calls up level 1 when the start new game button is pressed on the main menu. Had one hell of a time figuring out how to use functions from a different .as file. Hero.as I will add my code for. I'm posting the whole thing because I don't know where my problem is.

trace(currentPlayer); is giving me [object player] instead of the instance name "roger". (Later on I want more playable characters.) I'm not sure if the problem is there or in my levels file, which I'll post here. (not as long as Hero.as)
public class Levels extends MovieClip

var currentLevel:MovieClip;

addChild(levelOne);
currentLevel = levelOne;
hero.currentPlayer.x = 100;
hero.currentPlayer.y = 100;
addChild(hero.currentPlayer);
}
}
}
If I remove = roger; from var currentPlayer:MovieClip = roger; it gives me #1009 null object even though I told it in addCurrentPlayer() to change currentPlayer to roger. On level 1, everything shows up but I can't move my character. I know that it worked when I was working on his animations and I would call him to the main menu. Everything worked on him. What's the problem now?
Firstly, there's a lot of things wrong with your code:
In your Hero Class, the 'onStage' Event handler doesn't actually do anything other than remove the event listener that triggers it. While it's good practice to remove the event listener, there should be some other purpose to the Event handler. If there isn't you can remove it and not bother listening for the ADDED_TO_STAGE Event.
Similarly, in your Levels Class 'onStage' Event handler you attempt to remove the event, but name the wrong handler. I assume you want to remove the event handler and then run the 'gotoLevelOne' method. If so, just have the Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE listener call 'gotoLevelOne' and then remove the Event listener there:
public function Levels()
{
addEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE, gotoLevelOne);
}
public function gotoLevelOne():void
{
removeEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE, gotoLevelOne);
// class continues....
OK, so to your question:
You will be getting the null error because you are referring to currentPlayer from outside the Hero Class, before calling addCurrentPlayer (where it is set).
If you temporarily define currentPlayer as a private variable, the compiler should give you a line number where you first refer to currentPlayer from OUTSIDE the Hero Class (the error will be something like 'Class X is trying to access a private (or non-existent) property of Y Class').
You can then sort out WHY you are accessing currentPlayer before calling addCurrentPlayer. You may also want to think about if currentPlayer NEEDS to be public (if so, then what is 'addCurrentPlayer' for? That function effectively works as a setter for currentPlayer).
EDIT:
At the moment you are adding new KEY_DOWN and KEY_UP event listeners EVERY frame of your game loop. This is unnecessary. Add them both ONCE in the initialisation of your game (perhaps in your Hero's onStage handler), and count on them to trigger the appropriate handlers.
You will want to add the KEY_DOWN and KEY_UP listeners to 'stage', not currentPlayer, so:
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, keyDownHandler);
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_UP, keyUpHandler);
You will need to add the listeners AFTER your Hero instance has been added to the Stage though, so it has access to 'stage'. That's why it makes sense to add the listeners in the Hero's onstage handler.

How to make a movie clip visible if only five movie clips (not more) are clicked

I have 25 movie clips on stage and they all can be clicked and colored. I want a movie clip named text_mc to became visible if only 5 specific buttons from those are clicked and colored - not more. If the user choose more than those five movie clips (even thought that 5 movie clips are included) then the movie clip named text_mc should stay invisible. I can' t do the last part: if more than those 5 specific movie clips are clicked then the text_mc should stay invisible. Can you please help me? This is my code

}
You could add a boolean variable to each of the other functions that turns to true if any of the other squares are clicked. For example:
var isClicked:Boolean = false;
square1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onsquare1);
function onsquare1(e:MouseEvent):void {
sximata = square1;
isClicked = true;
}
And then in your check buttons function, check to see if "isClicked" is still false:
function checkButtons():void
{
if(!isClicked && square8Clicked && square9Clicked && square10Clicked && square13Clicked && square14Clicked)
{
text_mc.visible = true;
}
}
My solution is below. It's based on counting the number of clicks received by each type of MovieClip the user can click on.The relevant parts of the code would be in the onClick() and checkClickCounts() methods.
First, you'll see that in the buildMCs() method I simply create a bunch of MovieClips and place them on the stage in a grid. I've made it so that the "specific" MCs that you mention are the first items on each row of the grid. To each of these "specific" MCs, I've added a property: isSpecial:Boolean and set it to true. Later, when a MC is clicked, the OnClick() method will check to see if the MC was special or not, and will increment the relevant click count property. Then, checkClickCounts() is called. If 5 good clicks and 0 bad clicks are counted up, then we let the user know. This is where you'd display your textfield. (In my case, I just draw a big red rectangle on the screen.
Another suggestion I demo here is to avoid repeating your mouse click code. If you look in the constructor, you'll see that I used this line:
this.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClick);
This tells the main stage sprite to listen to all mouse clicks, even the ones that happen to MovieClips inside of it. In the onClick() method I check to see if the item clicked - the target of the event - was a MovieClip. If it was, then I do the additional checking to see if the MC clicked was one that I wanted. By doing this, I was able to write the code for handling the mouse clicks once, and now if I need to change something, I only have to do it one time, rather than 25 times. Saves me time, but also makes the code less error-prone because I'm less likely to miss something if there's a change that needs to be made.
package
{
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
public class Clicky extends Sprite
{
public function Clicky()
{
this.buildMCs();
this.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClick);

{

newMC.graphics.lineStyle(0, 0x00ff00);
// want to mark the "specific" movieclips
if (c == 0)
{
newMC.graphics.beginFill(0x0000ff);
// just something that makes this MC unique... ideally
// this would be not a MovieClip, but a class that defines
// actual properties worth checking for
newMC.isSpecial = true;
}
else
{
newMC.graphics.beginFill(0x00ff00);
}
newMC.graphics.drawRect(0, 0, boxSize, boxSize);
this.addChild(newMC);

}

// disable the clicking for the clicked item

if (mc.isSpecial)
{
_specialClicks++;
}
else
{
_badClicks++;
}
this.checkClickCounts();
}
}
private var _specialClicks:int = 0;
private var _badClicks:int = 0;

{
if (_specialClicks == 5 && _badClicks == 0)

// do your thing - show the text_mc, play a sound, award a prize, etc.

this.graphics.drawRect(0, 0, 1000, 1000);
}

as3 boolean variable won't pass out of function

For some reason my value is not being updated outside of the function. I'm trying to make a button, instanced "plus", move a movie clip "topArrow" constantly upward. I figured the boolean would be an easy way to trigger this, but it isn't being updated outside of the function. Why is this?
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
var speed:Number = 1;
plus.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, arrow_up);
plus.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, arrow_stop);
minus.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, arrow_down);
minus.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, arrow_stop);
var move_up:Boolean = false;
var move_down:Boolean = false;
function arrow_up(event:MouseEvent):void
{
trace("button pressed");
move_up = true;
}
function arrow_stop(event:MouseEvent):void
{
move_up = false;
move_down = false;
}
function arrow_down(event:MouseEvent):void
{
move_down = true;
}
while (move_up==true)
{
topArrow.y += speed;
}
while (move_down==true)
{
topArrow.y -= speed;
}
if(move_up)
{
trace("true");
}
Those while loops are scary, once move_up is true it will go into that loop and never exit?
I would do something like the below instead to animate the movie clip :
var speed:Number = 1;
plus.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, arrow_up);
plus.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, arrow_stop);
minus.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, arrow_down);
minus.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, arrow_stop);
stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, onEnterFrame);
var move_up:Boolean = false;
var move_down:Boolean = false;
function arrow_up(event:MouseEvent):void
{
trace("button pressed");
move_up = true;
}
function arrow_stop(event:MouseEvent):void
{
move_up = false;
move_down = false;
}
function arrow_down(event:MouseEvent):void
{
move_down = true;
}
function onEnterFrame(event:Event):void
{
if(move_up)
topArrow.y += speed;
else if(move_down)
topArrow.y -=speed;
if(move_up)
{
trace("true");
}
}
Decompile binary and take a look at move_up setter function.

Your problem is a NPE (Null Pointer Exception/Error) inside the Enemy.Remove() method:
public function Remove():void {
timer.stop();
timer.removeEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, MoveDown);
parent.removeChild(this);
}
Either your timer property is null (which I doubt, looking at your code) or the parent property are.
In a MovieClip the parent property are filled with a DisplayObject if your MovieClip is added to it, if not, this property is null.
Your problem probably is that you are removing (from its parent) this MovieClip more than once, or is trying to remove it without adding it first.
To make sure this is the problem, add a if statement to check the parent property first, like this:
if(parent != null)
{
parent.removeChild(this);
}
Note:
This may solve your NPE problem, but will not solve what is causing it, which may lead you into more and more inexplicable bugs.
Double check your logic to make sure you're removing a previously added MovieClip, or that you aren't removing it more than once.
Do you notice the flaw in the Collision function, if you observe like this:
for (var i:int = 0; i < enemies.length; i++) {
if (~) {
...
enemies[i].Remove();
...
} else {
for (~) {
if (~) {
...
enemies[i].Remove();
...
}
}
}
}
Apparently, in the second for loop you could be easily referencing the same Enemy Object.
And the problem comes after you call Remove function, because by doing parent.removeChild(this); you remove the only reference of the object to it's parent object.
You can try to do one of these:
Keep a reference to the parent object in the class, manually.
Keep a state variable in the class to check if it is to be a part of display list or not.
Move the enemies[i].Remove(); code into outermost loop.
If possile, recycle the object. Especially, when you are just
moving (x,y) the movieclip around.

to create quiz using StartDrag and stopDrag

Actually i have a quiz.fla. In the file ,two of them fill inthe blank questions and others are
multiple questions.
square1_mc must run only once not twice. İf user correct selected, doesnt run it again.
However,if mybadscoretext is 1 not increase 2,3,4. :S
how i can do all?
stop();
var myScore:Number = 0;
var myBadScore:Number=0;
square1_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, drag);
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, drop);
function drag(e:MouseEvent):void
{
e.target.startDrag();
}
function drop(e:MouseEvent):void
{
square1_mc.stopDrag();
if (square1_mc.hitTestObject(square2_mc)== true)
{
square1_mc.x=129;
square1_mc.y=133;
this.graphics.clear();
this.graphics.lineStyle(2, 000000);
this.graphics.moveTo(square1_mc.x, square1_mc.y);
this.graphics.lineTo(square2_mc.x, square2_mc.y);
this.graphics.endFill();
myScore += 1;
score_txt.text=String(myScore);
square1_mc.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, drag);
}
else
{
square1_mc.x=129;
square1_mc.y=133;
myBadScore += 1;
mybadscore_txt.text=String(myBadScore);
}
}
Add a variable to keep track of whether the bad score has been added:
var badMarked:Boolean = false;
function drag(e:MouseEvent):void
{
e.target.startDrag();
badMarked = false;
}
[...]
function drop(e:MouseEvent):void
{
if (square1_mc.hitTestObject(square2_mc)== true)
{
[...]
}
else if ( !badMarked )
{
square1_mc.x=129;
square1_mc.y=133;
myBadScore += 1;
mybadscore_txt.text=String(myBadScore);
badMarked = true;
}
}
