i looked at the kirupa’s paint tutorial and it really didn’t achieve the effect that i’m going for. i’m new to actionscript so i can’t figure it out for myself, so i’m hoping someone can shed some light on the situation for me.
here is the setup: i have an object that i rendered in 3d studio max. will just call it a box. i have rendered that box in 3 different colors. red, yellow, and blue. i saved them each individually as targa files and imported them into flash. i created a movie with 3 frames. frame one contains the red box image, frame 2 contains the yellow box, and frame 3 contains the blue box. each frame has the stop command applied to it.
now on the main timeline, i have 3 different circles that have been converted to buttons each colored red, yellow and blue. now i can use a “tellTarget” type action to make the playhead on the box movie clip to jump to the corresponding colored circle that was clicked, but i’d rather let the user be able to drag the colored circle to that box, release, and change the box to the color that corresponds to that circle. i don’t know if that requires some type of collision detection script or not. the box has no background so all there is, is the box itself so collision detection should just detect the box itself…right??
i would appreciate any insight that you could give me!!! if need be, i can supply a *.fla file for you to look at.
