I want to set different locations in an Image, and when I mouse over the location it needs to shows something('box' or 'x' nd 'y' position of the location). How can i achieve this.?
Hope, you want to set some locations in the stage and u want to store something.
If that, your coding is good. here after u can achieve that by using amf-php for back end purpose. php will help u store values in the database. refer google to know about amf-php.
good luck.
not sure wht you are looking for, may be something like that

cur_loc_name.text = e.target.name;
msgBox.addChild(cur_loc_name);
cur_loc_name.x = 5;
cur_loc_name.y = 1;
msgBox.x = mouseX + 20;
msgBox.y = mouseY + 26;
}
function mouseOutAction (e:MouseEvent):void

removeChild(msgBox);

Run this code. It will fill the stage with 280 sprites, and each sprite can have diff instance name..
I wants to do this using pixels...or any other way to do?

Hey I have got some cavemen that when they build huts I want the huts to be added at the coords of the caveman I last clicked on which requires the ability to know exactly what caveman the user clicked on/tapped. Here is the code for spawning in the cavemen:
//////////////////////
///Starting Cavemen///
//////////////////////
var cavemanVar:Array = new Array(50);
for (var i:Number = 0; i < 50; i++)
{
cavemanVar[i] = 0;
}
var foo:MovieClip = new btn_caveman();
cavemanVar[0] = addChildAt(foo, 7);
var bar:MovieClip = new btn_caveman();
cavemanVar[1] = addChildAt(bar, 7);
cavemanVar[0].x = 335.50;
cavemanVar[0].y = 316.55;
cavemanVar[1].x = 335.50;
cavemanVar[1].y = 369.5;
stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, example2);
function example2 (evt:Event) {
for (i = 0; i < 50; i++)
{
if (cavemanVar[i] != 0)
{
cavemanVar[i].addEventListener(TouchEvent.TOUCH_TAP, btn_cavemanMenu3);
}
}
}
function option1CavemenSpawn():void {
trace("using option 1")
actions += 1;
score += 5;
remaningActions += 1;
updateTextBox();
var foo6:MovieClip = new btn_caveman();
cavemanVar[2] = addChildAt(foo6, 7);
cavemanVar[2].x = 352.10;
cavemanVar[2].y = 260.80 + Math.random() * (392.40 - 260.80);
}
Any help would be great, I have tried using 'cavemanVar', 'cavemanVar[2]', 'cavemanVar[i]' and nothing is what I want it to be.
Hope I explained it properly it's a tricky thing to explain. I also have a move caveman feature I want to implement which would select the last clicked/tapped caveman and move it where the user clicks/taps so can any of this be done and if so how?
EDIT:
function btn_cavemanMenu3(event:TouchEvent):void {
btn_cavemanM.gotoAndStop(2);
trace('2');
allowBuildHut();
cancelTapCaveman();
allowTapCavemanClose();
if (remaningActions <= 2 || stone <= 29) {
cancelBuildHut();
}
}
Do you mean something like,
cavemanVar[i].addEventListener(TouchEvent.TOUCH_TAP, onTap);
function onTap(e:TouchEvent):void {
var caveman:btn_caveman = e.currentTarget as btn_caveman;
trace("caveman tapped --- (" + caveman.x + ", " + caveman.y + ")");
}
Okay, some things I noticed right away:
Attaching eventListeners with each frame, again and again. This will make your game slow if you make your game bigger. I'm not sure, but I think multiple event listeners with the same arguments don't stack, so it's not THAT bad.
Missing a return type for example2.
But aside from that, I think the reason that what you're trying to do doesn't work is because you're not referencing the selected caveman in your btn_cavemanMenu3 function. Via event.currentTarget you can reference the tapped caveman.
Currently, your question name and your question description conflict. What exactly do you wish to achieve? What is working and what isn't working right now?
In my library I have a bunch of classes named tip1, tip2, tip3, tip4...and so on. Is it possible to create one instance of each on the stage using a for loop? I tried this but it didn't seem to work.
var tips:int = 12;
for(var i:int = 1; i<=tips; i++){
var tipName:String = "tip"+i
var tip:MovieClip = new tipName();
tip.name = "tip" + i
tip.x = stage.width;
tip.y = 0;
addChild(tip);
}
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
You were missing the "getDefinitionByName" part.
// Up top
import flash.utils.getDefinitionByName;
// Down below
var tips:int = 12;
for (var i:int = 1; i < tips; ++i ) {
var myClass:Class = getDefinitionByName('tip' + i) as Class;
var tip:Object = new myClass();
tip.name = "tip" + i;
....
}
Instead of
var tip:MovieClip = new tipName();
Try (written from memory)
var clazz:Class = getDefinitionByName(tipName) as Class;
var tip:MovieClip = new clazz();
Also, you generally want to use stage.stageWidth instead of stage.width, since the latter will return the stage bounding box width (which might not be the same as the area the swf file covers).
I'm fairly new to AS3. Anyways, I'm try to remove a dynamically created child movieclip when clicked on. When a dirt block is clicked on, which is a child movieclip of 'world' I want to remove it.
I've tried various ways of removing it using removeChild. I've also tried moving the function inside/outside of the for loop that creates the movieclips.
var blockCount:Number = 0;
var blockArray:Array = [];
var world:MovieClip = new World();
world.x = 50;
world.y = 50;
world.name = "world";
addChild(world);
for(var i:Number=1;i<=100;i++){
blockCount++;
var tempGrassBlock:MovieClip = new GrassBlock();
tempGrassBlock.x = i*16;
tempGrassBlock.y = 256;
tempGrassBlock.name = "b"+blockCount;
world.addChild(tempGrassBlock);
tempGrassBlock.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, removeBlock);
function removeBlock(event:Event){
world.removeChild(getChildByName(event.target.name));
}
}
Thanks for the help.
Try this
function removeBlock(event:Event){
world.removeChild(event.currentTarget as DisplayObject);
}
No function definition should be inside a for. I changed that in your code and rewrited a little below:
var blockCount:Number = 0;
var blockArray:Array = [];
var world:MovieClip = new World();
world.x = 50;
world.y = 50;
world.name = "world";
addChild(world);
for(var i:Number=1;i<=100;i++){
blockCount++;
var tempGrassBlock:MovieClip = new GrassBlock();
tempGrassBlock.x = i*16;
tempGrassBlock.y = 256;
tempGrassBlock.name = "b"+blockCount;
world.addChild(tempGrassBlock);
tempGrassBlock.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, removeBlock);
}
function removeBlock(event:MouseEvent){
trace("Is click really working? This target name is " + event.currentTarget.name);
world.removeChild(event.currentTarget));
}
Alright let me make this clear. I am just doing out of interest. This is not a homework. I am doing it because I am interest in writing the ActionScript. I saw a guy website doing something amazing so I tried to copy and I want to do this:
Oh by the way you need to make a symbol and need to export for ActionScript and class name is "ball". And the button instant name is:bButton. So here's the script I wrote so far.
var boundaryRight:Number = stage.stageWidth;
var boundaryLeft:Number = 0;
var balls:Array;
var reverseRight:Number = 0;
var reverseLeft:Number = stage.stageWidth;
init();
function init(){
balls = new Array();
for(var i:Number = 0; i<10; i++){
var myBall:ball = new ball();
myBall.x=(Math.random()*boundaryRight);
myBall.y=50+i*40;
addChild(myBall);
balls.push(myBall);
}
}
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,moveBall);
function moveBall(e:Event){
for(var i:Number = 0;i<10;i++){
var myBall:ball = balls[i];
myBall.x-=20;
if(myBall.x<boundaryLeft){
myBall.x=boundaryRight;
}
}
}
As you can see that code made the multiple ball go to left and looping over and over again. So here's what I want to do. I want to make a button and when I click the button it'll change direction like click and it change direction to right. I click it again and it'll go left again. How do I write the code for that?
Use two global variables direction and speed.
var direction:Number = 1;
var speed:Number = 20;
Instead of giving myBall.x-=20;
Give myBall.x += ( direction * speed );
In the click handling function of the button
Give direction *= -1;
You can also change speed like this.
Yesterday someone on here was helping me with a problem I was having. I accepted the Answer before I had tested it and am running into a problem.
What I am doing is I have an airplane mc and a crate mc. The airplane flies along the y axis and I was trying to get the crate mc to drop somewhere randomly along the plane's path. The plane keeps dropping crates at every point along the y axis.
The code I'm using to move the plate/drop the crate is:
function makePlane():void
{
var chance:Number = Math.floor(Math.random() * 60);
if (chance <= 1)
{
trace(chance);
var tempPlane:MovieClip;
//Make sure a Library item linkage is set to Plane...
tempPlane = new Airplane();
tempPlane.planeSpeed = 10;
tempPlane.x = Math.round(Math.random() * 1000);
tempPlane.y = Math.round(Math.random() * -1000);
addChild(tempPlane);
trace("Made Plane!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!");
planes.push(tempPlane);
}
}
function movePlane():void
{
var tempX:Number;
var tempCrate:MovieClip;
var tempPlane:MovieClip;
for (var j:int =planes.length-1; j>=0; j--)
{
tempPlane = planes[j];
tempPlane.y += tempPlane.planeSpeed;
tempCrate = new Crate();
tempCrate.y = tempPlane.y;
tempCrate.x = tempPlane.x;
addChild(tempCrate);
crates.push(tempCrate);
}
}
The code someone gave me to drop 1 crate only instead of numerous crates is:
function addRandomCreation():void{
var animationTime:Number = 5000; //The time the planes will be animating in ms
for(var i:int = 0; i < planes.length; i++){
var planeTimer:Timer = new Timer(Math.round(animationTime * Math.random()));
planeTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, timerComplete(i));
planeTimer.start();
}
}
function timerComplete(planeID:int):function{
return function(event:TimerEvent):void{
event.target.stop();
event.target.removeEventListener(event.type, arguments.callee);
var tempCrate:MovieClip = new Crate();
tempY = Math.round(Math.random() * planes[planeID].y);
tempCrate.y = tempY;
tempCrate.x = planes[planeID].x;
addChild(tempCrate);
}
}
When I try using this code I get the error 'function is not a type'. I've never seen function used as a return type before. Can anyone help me?
The return type function should be capitalized: Function. The timerComplete function is locking the planeID in a closure, so that it is accessible from the event handler (the function returned from timerComplete).
