Heya, im currently working on a project that requires a “experimental navigation” that leads to page with dynamically loaded content from a database.
Basically, my idea is to make a RTS-like game, where in order to reach the sections of the site, you have to build certain buildings in a tech-tree like fashion. As you build, more sections become available. Now, im not the best at actionscripting, but I do have some experience with it.
My problem is, im trying to create a drag and drop, so when you click on the button to create a building and drag it to the build area, the construction of the building animates and finishes. I would like the building to be clickable also so when all the buildings are constructed you can click on them to go back to certain areas.
this is what i have on the button:
on (press) {
startDrag ("_root.drag_main"); //<-- (drag_main is a duplicate image of the button in movie clip form on the main stage so it can be dragged)
_root.main = 1; //<-- (this is just making the movie clip appear, as i have the alpha set to 0 and 1 is the variable calling it to be visible)
}
on (release) {
stopDrag();
_root.drag_main.gotoAndPlay(“main”); //<-- (this is pointing to the animation of the building constructing and finishing which is inside of the duplicate button movie clip)
}
if this is confusing, i understand and if there is any ideas of just starting over and doing it a different way i’m all for it. I’m sure there is a much simpler way of doing this.
What happens with this code is, if i drag and drop the animation wont play, but if i just click and release the button the animation works. It just doesnt work if i drag first. Any ideas or suggestions anyone has i’d appreciate. thanks
