Clock Crew

Actionscript Academy Session 1
Friday 25, AIM (aim:goim?screenname=theforeverkul&message=I+am+here+for+Actionscript+Academy) , or specify something else.

Today we will be working on mouse movement games such as fancy cursors and mouse avoider games. If you don't know anything about AS at all, skim this.
 (http://www.clockcrew.cc/talk/showthread.php?t=46360)
I WILL BE CONSTANTLY UPDATING THIS POST, IM ME IF YOU NEED HELP!

You can post finished projects here.

First Step is simple, just to make it follow the mouse.
[flash]http://img182.imageshack.us/img182/97/session1azk0.swf width=200 height=200[/flash]
This black dot simply follows the mouse.

1. Draw something
2. Turn it into a movie clip, name does not matter.
3. Give it the Instance Name follow
4. Open the Actions panel and click on the frame (http://www.clockcrew.cc/talk/showthread.php?t=46360)
5. Make sure it says Frame on the panel title.onEnterFrame = function () {
follow._x = _xmouse;
follow._y = _ymouse;
};
Step 2: Lets make some walls!
[flash]http://img186.imageshack.us/img186/4686/session1bph8.swf width=200 height=200[/flash]
This black dot follows the mouse, but if you move over the red, it will appear back at the start. You can mouse over the dot to make it follow the mouse again.

1. Draw walls and make it into a SINGLE move clip, name doesn't matter.
2. Give it the Instance Name wall
3. Add the new codes [B]following = false;[/B]
onEnterFrame = function () {
[B]if (following == true) {[/B]
follow._x = _xmouse;
follow._y = _ymouse;
[B]}
if (following == false) {
follow._x = 100;
follow._y = 100;
}
if (wall.hitTest(_xmouse, _ymouse, true)) {
following = false;
} else if (follow.hitTest(_xmouse, _ymouse, true)) {
following = true;
}[/B]
};
Step 3: UR A WINNAR
[flash]http://img186.imageshack.us/img186/9599/session1cib9.swf width=200 height=200[/flash]
This counts how many times you lost and if you hit the blue circle you win!

1. Type "Tries" or something with regular STATIC TEXT in the top corner
2. Create a DYNAMIC TEXT BOX (located in the properties panel, its in a drag down box that might says Static)
3. Look in the bottom right corner of the properties panel, you'll see a box with the word Var: next to it, type par in that box
4. Make a blue circle and turn it into an MC, give it the Instance Name win
5. now make a new frame (frame 2) and make a win picture or something, turn it into a movie clip.
6. Go inside the movie clip and add about 30 to 60 frames, the last frame should be a keyframe
7. In that last keyframe, type _root.gotoAndStop(1);
8. Now head back to the first frame on the main time line to add this code: [B]stop();
par = 0;[/B]
following = false;
onEnterFrame = function () {
if (following == true) {
follow._x = _xmouse;
follow._y = _ymouse;
}
if (following == false) {
follow._x = 100;
follow._y = 100;
}
if (wall.hitTest(_xmouse, _ymouse, true)[B] && following == true[/B]) {
following = false;
[B]par++;[/B]
} else if (follow.hitTest(_xmouse, _ymouse, true)) {
following = true;
}
[B]if (win.hitTest(_xmouse, _ymouse, true) && following == true) {
nextFrame();
}[/B]
};

Hmm... perhaps I've been horribly misguided!

Shark Farming accident

Well..
shark farming
maybe "SBC" did, but certainly not the person!
no, the person
SBC lives on in our flashes only as a mascot
I thought he would've died to the mass of CC members retaling due to his, trying to forget the CC for that new flash place he's working with on, I believe, adult swim?
Pisha!
ill never look at shark farmers the same way again =(
that's just our cover up, the whole sbc story
we like to fool around with Newgrounders

Try a higher frame rate to make it smoother :)
I usually use 30 FPS
AS works better at higher frame rates without any extra effort for you. I suggest 30 because its good all around.

following = true;
onEnterFrame = function () {
if (following == true) {
follow._x = _xmouse;
follow._y = _ymouse;
}
if (following == false) {
follow._x = 100;
follow._y = 100;
}
if (wall.hitTest(_xmouse, _ymouse, true)) {
following = false;
} else if (follow.hitTest(_xmouse, _ymouse, true)) {
following = true;
}
};

Seems to work okay with 120fps ;)

Where did you put the easing?

Also, i tried editing some stuff and i think i've gotten basic knowledge of this shit.

Wow, this actually seems to be going pretty well so far.  Too bad I'm too busy with stupid reports at work, or I might have joined in on the fun.

EDIT: FIXED
[flash]http://denvish.net/ulf/250507/76275_ASA1.swf width=200 height=220[/flash]

I made a slight edit to the code:
I changed the first following = true to following = false

Quote from: FBerry;829443somthings wrong with my script. wen my mouse hits the green it adds one. not wen the "follow" hits it.

You have an earlier version of my code, redo the codes.

Just playin around.

Quote from: Dilbert;829473I need help with the name instance thing I think.

When you click on the movie-clip, in the properties there is a text-box under the slide-down menu of what it is, which is where the instance name is supposed to be.



Did you name the mouse follow?

Yeh, AS 2.0 was made in an even earlier version.

You know what. I think each session should have a main game type we focus on, then when all the kinks are worked out, I could compile them and submit it to NG as Actionscript Academy Session X. I think it would make a cool series, a bunch of different people making mini games compiled into one flash :D

You should give us a code for baddies that walk randomly too.

Quote from: Dilbert;830166You should give us a code for baddies that walk randomly too.

You can just add animations inside the wall movieclip to have things move.

Now with baddies and a more accurate goal. Wow it feels really cool :)

What is the code for leveling trough different levels?

Now with baddies and a more accurate goal. Wow it feels really cool :)

What is the code for leveling trough different levels?

In the win screen (yours says Success) instead of ending with _root.gotoAndStop(1); use _root.nextFrame(); this will mean you can have an animation then another level.

You can make new movieclips or keep the same ones, you just need to have the same instance name. As for codes, all you need to add is following = false; on that frame with the new level. You can repeat this as many times as you want. The cool thing about AS is that you can have different movie clips but the only thing that matters is the instance name.

Also, AA doesn't have to be JUST on Friday! I hope people who did not participate in the initial session should still follow the steps on the first post and post any questions they have! This way we could have more people participating.

These are cool!

You guys know if there exists a font that looks like digital clocks?

Quote from: TequilaClock;833693You guys know if there exists a font that looks like digital clocks?

It does exist.

Quote from: RomanClock;833891It does exist.

Ok, is there a link you asure me I will find it there that isn't a web search?

I tried this on the newest flash with as3 and it doesnt work, but it works with 2.0, just filling you in if you didnt know.

Quote from: Pepper Clock;845881I tried this on the newest flash with as3 and it doesnt work, but it works with 2.0, just filling you in if you didnt know.

Yea, Ive already said we are using AS2 here are some reasons:
I don't know AS3
I don't have CS3 so I can't learn it well
AS2 is MUCH EASIER to learn wen you're a beginner
AS2 will still probably be the major Flash language for a while


ALSO IMPORTANT!! SEND FLA'S!!!

See how there is an "a" on both frames? Each of the codes I give you is the whole thing that should be on only 1 frame.

Quote from: Δ;1136238i dont get why you bumped this

This was supposed to be moved to the academy section of the forum

I have a question. The object goes back to the desired position when the '+' (center) of the object hits the wall. How do I make it so that the object goes back to the desired position when the edges of the object hit the wall?

Yes, huge bump.

Great job just go ahead and bump a 6 month or so old thread
You could have PMed him
