Hi,
I’m developing a Hi Lo game.
The user has to guess the values of 7 categories, sportswear, jeans, shoes etc…
I have 7category folders in the library each with 10 item_mc’s (with linkage id’s as well). The system I’m working on needs to be able to randomly select 1 of the folders and load the contents into a host_mc that is positioned off stage. These will be the items that the user has to guess Hi or Lo for.
I then need to control these clips and move them around the stage.
I need help in controlling the clips…
some code…i’m testing initially with 3 folders and 3 items in each!
//move function that moves the clip around the game area
MovieClip.prototype.moveMe = function(targetX, targetY, acc){
this.onEnterFrame = function(){
this._x += (targetX-this._x) / acc;
this._y += (targetY-this._y) / acc;
}
}
//Create an array of names of the MC groups. You have to have 3 groups. And 3 MC in every group.
var clips_name = [“shoes”,“trousers”,“jumpers”];
//create an array to keep track of items that have already been loaded in.
var itemsPlayed = new Array();
//Function for attaching MCs
function loadItemQueue(){
//Randomly pic up one out 3 groups
var n = random(clips_name.length);
var name = clips_name[n];
trace(name)
for(i = 0; i<2; i++){
itemQueue_mc.attachMovie(name+i,“name”+i,i);
_root.itemQueue_mc[“name”+i]._x = 70*i;
_root.itemQueue_mc[“name”+i].id = i;
//_root.itemQueue_mc[“name”+i].txt = name + i;
}
queueLoaded();
movefirstTwo();
}
//function to move first two clips into posotion
function movefirstTwo(){
for(i = 0; i<clips_name.length; i++){
_root.itemQueue_mc[“name”+i].moveMe(10, 10, 10);
}
}
//
//gets called when the items have loaded
function queueLoaded(){
trace(“I’m inside the item Array!”);
}
function queueEmpty(){
trace(“I’m empty!”);
}
I add this button event to start it…
on(release){
loadItemQueue();
}
the last 3 functions are to trigger other events in the system.
I need to be able to control and track the clips as they can only be loaded in 1 time per game.
This has me baffled and I’d be very gratful for any help / pointers / tips.
TIA
