Build Houses

[rmail2006]

Hi Everyone,

I'm not a proper newbiew to flash as i've had a bit of time messing around creating little projects but I wasn't sure what forum this would be best in :P

In was just wondering if anyone knows how people can build houses like on neopets.com. I'm just after the bsics of how objects are placed and saved on screen and what order there put in, like how to set teh depth from teh screen eg this object is behind that one.

Thanks

Making Graphic of different objects in different inside a movieClips, and mapping with Array, will create Landscape for games.

myMap=[ [['a1',1],['a0',0],['a0',0],['a0',0],['a0',0],['a0',0],['a0',0],['a0',0]],
	[['a1',1],['a0',0],['a0',0],['a0',0],['a0',0],['a0',0],['a0',0],['a0',0]],
	[['a1',1],['a2',0],['a0',0],['a0',0],['a0',0],['a0',0],['a0',0],['a0',0]],
	[['a1',1],['a0',0],['a0',0],['a0',0],['a0',0],['a0',0],['a0',0],['a0',0]],
	[['a1',1],['a0',0],['a0',0],['a2',0],['a0',0],['a0',0],['a0',0],['a0',0]],
	[['a1',1],['a0',0],['a0',0],['a0',0],['a0',0],['a0',0],['a0',0],['a0',0]],
	[['a1',1],['a0',0],['a0',0],['a0',0],['a0',0],['a0',0],['a0',0],['a0',0]],
	[['a1',1],['a0',0],['a0',0],['a0',0],['a0',0],['a0',0],['a0',0],['a0',0]] ];



tW=40;
tH=30;

startX = 250;
startY = 40;

this.attachMovie("empty", "Clip", 0);
this.Clip._x = startX;
this.Clip._y = startY;

Width = myMap[0].length;
	Height = myMap.length;
	for ( i=0; i<Height; ++i ) {
		for ( j=0; j<Width; ++j ) {
			this.Clip.attachMovie("tile", "t_"+i+"_"+j, ++d);
			this.Clip["t_"+i+"_"+j]._x = (tW/2)*(j-i);
			this.Clip["t_"+i+"_"+j]._y = (tH/2)*(j+i);
			this.Clip["t_"+i+"_"+j].gotoAndStop ( myMap[i][j][0] );
		}
	}

In Library: 2 movieclips --> 1. Emply Movie Clip, Identifier = empty
2. Graphic Movie Clip Identifier = tile


Inside Graphic Movie Clip Frame label is as a0,a1,a2,a3 and so on....

stop(); action in 1st Frame.



If this hard to understand, let me know.. I will try to describe the method

Thanks for the reply

I get it slightly but could you exlpain what the values in the mymap array are?
and I didn't fully understand this line ( 'Inside Graphic Movie Clip Frame label is as a0,a1,a2,a3 and so on....' ).

Thanks again

[poltuda]

This is an example of what you are looking for, if I am right...

myMap=[ [['a0'],['a0'],['a0'],['a0'],['a2'],['a0'],['a0'],['a0']],
              [['a0'],['a0'],['a0'],['a0'],['a1'],['a0'],['a0'],['a0']],
	      [['a2'],['a2'],['a0'],['a0'],['a2'],['a2'],['a0'],['a2']],
	      [['a0'],['a2'],['a2'],['a0'],['a0'],['a0'],['a0'],['a0']],
	      [['a0'],['a2'],['a1'],['a2'],['a2'],['a2'],['a0'],['a0']],
	      [['a0'],['a0'],['a0'],['a0'],['a2'],['a1'],['a0'],['a0']],
	      [['a2'],['a0'],['a0'],['a2'],['a0'],['a0'],['a2'],['a0']],
	      [['a0'],['a0'],['a2'],['a0'],['a0'],['a0'],['a0'],['a0']]];

This Array will also work for simple landscaping.

After you reply I will remove this file

Best Regards

That's what I'm after.

So is there anyway to interact with each objects since it was created like that so the user, when playing the swf, can delete etc?

I get how to delete from the array but how can you identefy lets say (row4 column2) from (row1 column5)?
Thanks

"Hittest" or putting a function of each clips for an action will go for this..

You don't have to delete, instead, just push the Array into other Frame Label.
