[Point n Click] Inventory

Hey guys i'm trying to create a point n click game using AS3 and external files and i'm having a hard time to get the invetory working.

So let me explain that better...

The game I want to create is an escape game ( You're locked in a room and need to find itens and hints to get out of there)

On my .fla file (Teste.fla) there's a hammer handle and a hammer head. Both are movieclips (head name = cabeca and handle name = cabo).

Here are my codes so far.

Cabo.as:

Code:

---

package{
                public class Cabo extends Teste
        {
        }
}

---

Cabeca.as:

Code:

---

package{
                public class Cabeca extends Teste
        {
        }
}

---

Teste.as:

Code:

---

package {
       
        import flash.display.MovieClip;
        import flash.events.MouseEvent;

        public class Teste extends MovieClip
        {               
                public function Teste():void
                {
                        buttonMode = true;
                        addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, pegaritem);
                }
               
                protected function pegaritem (e:MouseEvent):void
                {
                        parent.addChild(this);
                        trace("pegou "+name);
                        x = 50;
                        y = 330;
                       
                        width=50;
                        scaleX=scaleY;
                       
                        if(height>50)
                                {
                                height=50;
                                scaleX=scaleY;
                                }
                               
                        removeEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, pegaritem);
                }
        }
}

So the problem is: When I click on a movieclip (cabeca or cabo), they move to the same position.

What I want to do is to get the side by side separated by a few pixels.

I've been looking for a solution and i found out that i should arrange them on an Array... But unfortunately I have no idea how to do that.


I'm pretty new to using AS3 and external files.


Anyone has an idea how i can do that?

When you extend a class you're basically copy+pasting the code onto your new class. An array would be useful if you're working with an undetermined number of items. If you have like 2 items then don't worry about it. If you want to arrange things than you need to do so by using relative positions. So itemB.x = itemA.x+itemA.width and itemB.y = itemA.y Something like this would be simplest. Or you could do itemB.x+=itemA.width because they're being positioned in the same spot.
