Topic: Game Programming / A MovieClip Problem (AS3)

So how would I do that? I’ve looked everywhere but I haven’t found the solution…

Topic: Game Programming / A MovieClip Problem (AS3)

Basically I’m developing an app for iOS at the moment in Flash using the AIR engine. Everything was going well until I wanted to advance to another frame from within a movieclip. For example: Clicking a button inside a movieclip moves to the next frame from the actual tiimeline, not the movieclips timeline.

Anyways, usually, this code would work in AS3:
[code]
MovieClip(root).nextFrame();
[/code]

I don’t understand what’s wrong? Is AIR AS3 different to normal AS3?

Topic: Game Programming / [Unity] Animation problem

Here’s another problem. _ I have a moving platform that moves up and down, and I’ve positioned it where I want it and it’s scaled to size. However, it will move to the middle of my scene and play it there instead. I’ve tried everything, culling types, whatever, it just won’t work. I use Cinema 4D.

Topic: Game Programming / [Unity] Cinema4D Import Problem

I’m a newbie, so what is the IDE?

Topic: Game Programming / [Unity] Cinema4D Import Problem

Problem is, is that the lightbulb is pitch black and the point light doesn’t get the effect I require. :/

Topic: Game Programming / [Unity] Cinema4D Import Problem

OK, so importing the actual file (a lamppost) itself is OK, and it works. The annoying thing is, is that I applied an orange glow to the ‘light bulb’. However, when I imported it into Unity, the ‘light bulb’ is just pitch black, no colour or glow whatsoever. Why isn’t the glow there? Does Unity not support it?

Thank you, Vara.

Topic: Game Programming / [AS3] Flash Plays On It's Own

This is getting very annoying now. Everytime I go onto one of my frames, it’s automatically plays itself, even though a stop(); function is in my ActionScript for that frame. Here:

import flash.events.KeyboardEvent;
import flash.events.Event;

stop();

var cangoright:Boolean = true;
var cangoleft:Boolean = true;
var cangoup:Boolean = true;

var gotimer:Timer = new Timer(2000, 0);
gotimer.start();

gotimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER_COMPLETE, removego);
stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, canmove);

function canmove(event:Event):void{
if(stickoldguy.clashpoint.hitTestObject(clashpoint2.rightbarrier)){
cangoright=false;
}
}

function removego(event:TimerEvent):void{
go.visible = false;
}

stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, checkKeyDowns);

function checkKeyDowns(event:KeyboardEvent):void{
if(event.keyCode == Keyboard.RIGHT && cangoright){
stickoldguy.x += 5;
}
if(event.keyCode == Keyboard.LEFT && cangoleft){
stickoldguy.x += -5;
}
if(event.keyCode == Keyboard.UP && cangoup){
stickoldguy.y += -5;
}
if(event.keyCode == Keyboard.UP && cangoup){
stickoldguy.y += -5;
}
if(event.keyCode == Keyboard.DOWN){
stickoldguy.y += 5;
}
}

As you can see there is no play(); or nextFrame(); function anywhere and I havent defined one anywhere else. Why is it doing this?

Topic: Game Programming / How to block letters

In an input box, I want it so that you can type letters, but you cant type numbers or the space bar. What is the code I can use for this? I’m using AS3. Thanks!

Topic: Game Programming / Cheats Menu Problem

My code looks like this.
http://pastebin.com/3GtBZvVu
It still shows as NaN.

Topic: Game Programming / Cheats Menu Problem

I have got it as var currency:Number = 0; but that doesnt work.

Topic: Game Programming / Cheats Menu Problem

I define it as var currency =0; on a seperate layer called currency.

Topic: Game Programming / Cheats Menu Problem

I’ve found a way to do it via dynam text. Heres the script:
http://pastebin.com/zPGCsF1W
It works, but I’m gonna go a tiny off topic here. When I do currency += 100000; the trace shows NaN which is not a number right? How is it not a number? 100000 is a number. ;/

Topic: Game Programming / Cheats Menu Problem

I’ve changed it to var userCheatInput:String; and changed the ’ to " but it just traces not working.

Topic: Game Programming / Cheats Menu Problem

You’re probably getting sick of me now. But here goes. I’ve got it like a cheats menu, where if you insert the right code and press submit, you either get it right or wrong. Here:

All the traces work but the ‘if’ statement doesn’t.

Topic: Game Programming / Currency

Don’t worry, I’ve sorted it. Thanks.

Topic: Game Programming / Currency

As you wish.
var currency:Number =0;

currencyHandler.currencyDisplay.text = currency.toString();

currency += 100;

That’s all.

Topic: Game Programming / Currency

Still not working guys. it’s still stuck at 0.

Topic: Game Programming / Currency

How would I convert it?

Topic: Game Programming / Currency

Thanks. How would I have it so that my currency variable is the same as my currencyDisplay variable? would I do currencyDisplay.text =currency? Because that’s not working.

Topic: Game Programming / Currency

Hey guys! How would I make a currency in Flash. I have a variable called ‘currency’. In my script I want it so that, say, you saved someone from drowning, you get 100 coins or what not. I know it could be currency++; but that only add one. And how would I remove? Like you LOSE 100 coins if you do something wrong. Thanks! P.S. This is AS3.

Topic: Game Programming / Timeline Control Help

It’s a noob question. Well, I think so anyways. I want it so that when I press a button (backtopark) in my movieclip (stickFinish), it will go to the next frame in the STAGE, not the movieclip. What can I do?

Ahh! perfect! Thanks guys. It’s was really dumb but without you I would of gotten nowhere. ;)

_ Maan.

Hopefully that worked. And if it didn’t, I’ve got the project file anyways: (62MB somehow): http://dl.dropbox.com/u/12146966/LAOS.fla
