 Initial X and Y Help ^^
Well, basically I have a problem regarding X and Y of multiple objects. Repetition isn't good.
I have this on First Frame:
Actionscript Code:
dict[box1_mc] = flower_mc;
dict[box2_mc] = cater_mc;
dict[box3_mc] = bird_mc;
dropTargets.push(box1_mc, box2_mc, box3_mc);
frame = 4;
maxCount = 3;
button_btn.visible = false;
reset_btn.visible = false;
reset_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, Reset);
dict[box1_mc].initial_x = dict[box1_mc].x;
dict[box1_mc].initial_y = dict[box1_mc].y;
dict[box2_mc].initial_x = dict[box2_mc].x;
dict[box2_mc].initial_y = dict[box2_mc].y;
dict[box3_mc].initial_x = dict[box3_mc].x;
dict[box3_mc].initial_y = dict[box3_mc].y;
function Reset(evt:MouseEvent):void {
dict[box1_mc].x = dict[box1_mc].initial_x;
dict[box1_mc].y = dict[box1_mc].initial_y;
dict[box2_mc].x = dict[box2_mc].initial_x;
dict[box2_mc].y = dict[box2_mc].initial_y;
dict[box3_mc].x = dict[box3_mc].initial_x;
dict[box3_mc].y = dict[box3_mc].initial_y;
droppedTargets.splice(0);
flower_mc.alpha = 1;
cater_mc.alpha = 1;
bird_mc.alpha = 1;
for each (var item in dict)
item.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, mouseDownHandler);
max = 0;
hits = 0;
resetCounter = resetCounter + 1;
reset_btn.visible = false;
button_btn.visible = false;
if (resetCounter == 3) {resetChances = false;} else {resetChances = true;}
}
Second Frame:
Actionscript Code:
dict[box1_mc] = nuts_mc;
dict[box2_mc] = squirrel_mc;
dict[box3_mc] = snake_mc;
dict[box4_mc] = eagle_mc;
maxCount = 4;
dropTargets.push(box1_mc, box2_mc, box3_mc, box4_mc);
button_btn.visible = false;
reset_btn.visible = false;
bird_mc.visible = false;
cater_mc.visible = false;
flower_mc.visible = false;
reset_btn.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, Reset);
reset_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, Reset2);
dict[box1_mc].initial_x = dict[box1_mc].x;
dict[box1_mc].initial_y = dict[box1_mc].y;
dict[box2_mc].initial_x = dict[box2_mc].x;
dict[box2_mc].initial_y = dict[box2_mc].y;
dict[box3_mc].initial_x = dict[box3_mc].x;
dict[box3_mc].initial_y = dict[box3_mc].y;
dict[box4_mc].initial_x = dict[box4_mc].x;
dict[box4_mc].initial_y = dict[box4_mc].y;
function Reset2(evt:MouseEvent):void {
dict[box1_mc].x = dict[box1_mc].initial_x;
dict[box1_mc].y = dict[box1_mc].initial_y;
dict[box2_mc].x = dict[box2_mc].initial_x;
dict[box2_mc].y = dict[box2_mc].initial_y;
dict[box3_mc].x = dict[box3_mc].initial_x;
dict[box3_mc].y = dict[box3_mc].initial_y;
dict[box4_mc].x = dict[box4_mc].initial_x;
dict[box4_mc].y = dict[box4_mc].initial_y;
droppedTargets.splice(0)
eagle_mc.alpha = 1;
nuts_mc.alpha = 1;
squirrel_mc.alpha = 1;
snake_mc.alpha = 1;
for each (var item in dict)
item.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, mouseDownHandler);
max = 0;
hits = 0;
resetCounter = resetCounter + 1;
reset_btn.visible = false;
button_btn.visible = false;
if (resetCounter == 3) {resetChances = false;} else {resetChances = true;}
}
as You can See. That Dict[box] is giving me a problem on setting up X and Y. as i always put it on every frame instead of External AS. I wonder if someone can help me.
I don't know if Array can be helped cause I tried but I failed, or I just Don't Know how to do it. will someone Please help me? thanks ^^

blah... frames---
My advice is, never use them unless you really need to.
hmm, quick question- are flower_mc, cater_mc, bird_mc, nuts_mc, squirrel_mc, snake_mc,eagle_mc, all just movieclips (what class are they)?
If I were you, (and all of the above are just mc's), then I would just create a new class that extends MovieClip. That new class would have the following methods:
Actionscript Code:
/** This variable holds the Starting/Saved .x value */
public var X:int = 0;
/** This variable holds the Starting/Saved .y value */
public var Y:int = 0;
/** Use to set the Starting Location of this MovieClip. Use 'resetLocation' to reset back to this starting location.
@param x int Starting x Locaiton of this MovieClip
@param y int Starting y Location of this MovieClip
*/
public function setStartingXY(x:int,y:int):void{
this.X = x;
this.x = x;
this.Y = y;
this.y = y;
}
/** Resets this movieclip back to its original location */
public function resetLocation():void{
this.x = this.X;
this.y = this.Y;
}
Then you just use it and extend that like your normal movieclip class. Now you will have the added bonus that you can use the following:
Actionscript Code:
flower_mc.setStartingXY(box1_mc.x,box1_mc.y);
//Then later when you want to reset its location:
flower_mc.resetLocation();
Thats one idea at least.
Hope that is helpful! if you need any more help (or my ramblings dont make any sense), give a holler and I can work you up a working example.
Best of luck!

Hmmm, I have bunch of frames almost 20 frames that has different draggable objects that need this code. I have an External Class. that has public functions.
and yes they are all MovieClips
dict[box1_mc] = flower_mc;
basically this is a new Dictionary. the box1_mc is the correct box that the flower_mc that should be dragged to. If not, it's a mistake.
Hmm, It will still give me a lot of repetitive Codes. I appreciate your help.
But I wonder if such thing as "Each Item in array could be extracted to set each XandY" or.. a variable that will produce a result like this:
Actionscript Code:
for each (var item in dict)
item.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, mouseDownHandler);
I already tried using this:
Actionscript Code:
for each (var startingXY in dict)
startingXY.initialX = startingXY.x
startingXY.initialY = startingXY.y
function resetButton(evt:MouseEvent):void {
for each (var startingXY in dict)
startingXY.x = startingXY.initialX
startingXY.y = startingXY.initialY
}
the Only MovieClip that is being returned to its initial XandY is the Last MovieClip in that Frame.
I can't move that Reset FUnction on the External AS because every frame has different objects/MovieClip to be reset. Here's my Public External AS:
Actionscript Code:
package Scripts

Thanks but I already got my Self Solve it. THanks for the help sir ^^
Here's what i've Done, instead of using for each(var item in dict) i use this:
Actionscript Code:
for each(var box in dropTargets) { // I used a variable box to establish each elements in dropTargets Array
dict[box].initial_x = dict[box].x; //instead of repetitive dict things, I came up to use this
dict[box].initial_x = dict[box].y;
}
function Reset(evt:MouseEvent):void {
for each(var box in dropTargets) {
dict[box].x = dict[box].initial_x;
dict[box].y = dict[box].initial_y;
}
}
There you go. Thanks again sir ^^
