Creating more levels problem

[flip-Ed]

Hi
I have level 1 on frame 1 with hitTests on some objects and if the player hits the door the game goes on to level 2 with nextFrame();

On frame 2 I rearranged the objects from level 1 but the game somehow doesnt recognize that the objects are rearranged.
The objects can be seen on different positions but the hittTests are still the ones from frame 1

What did I do wrong?

Thanks!

I can't see anything without any code. You should post your code.

here's the code:

this part is in the constructor:

var level:Array = new Array();

            for(var i = 0; i<numChildren; i++){
                if(getChildAt(i) is platform)
                {
                    level.push(getChildAt(i).getRect(this));
                }
            }

addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, loop);
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, nextLevel);

here's the collision test

function loop(e:Event){
if(kLeft) 
            {
                speedX = -10;
            }else if(kRight)
            { 
                speedX = 10;
            }else 
            {
                speedX*=0.5;
            }
            player.x+=speedX;
        
            for(var i = 0; i<level.length; i++)
            {
                if(player.getRect(this).intersects(level[i]))
                {
                    if(speedX > 0)
                    { 
                        player.x = level[i].left-player.width/2;
                    }
                    

                    if(speedX < 0)
                    { 
                        player.x = level[i].right+player.width/2;
                    }
                    speedX = 0;
                }
            }
        
            speedY+=1;
            player.y+=speedY;
            var jumpable= false;
    
            for(i = 0; i<level.length; i++)
            {
                if(player.getRect(this).intersects(level[i]))
                {
                    if(speedY >0)
                    {
                        player.y = level[i].top-player.height/2;
                        speedY = 0;
                        jumpable= true;
                    }

                    if(speedY <0)
                    {
                        player.y = level[i].bottom+player.height/2;
                        speedY*=-0.5;
                    }
                    speedX = 0;
                }
                if(kUp && jumpable)
                {
                speedY = -15;
                }
            }
}

and the function to go to the next level

function nextLevel(e:Event):void{
            if(player.hitTestObject(door)){
               nextFrame();
            }
        }

'door' and 'player' are movieclips

I cant barely understand this code. What are you using getChild for? Why not pushing a simple sprite into the for loop? And what do you use intersects for? why not just hittest? I also dont see the point of having 2 enter frames?


you can easlily check in the enter frame if a certain object hits another hittest and let it peform something.

i was following this tutorial:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tD-t9DKvFJA

there is one mc that is called platform and i put it into an array so i can place it more than once. then i check if the player hits the platform

I was searching for a tutorial that uses hittests but I couldnt find one. If there is a tutorial doing it with hitTest and it works the same way, I'd really appreciate if you could give me the link

I would do it like this:

var platforms:Array = [];
createPlatforms();
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, checkColl)


function createPlatforms():void
{
   for (var i:int = 0; i < 5; i++)
{     
     var platform:Sprite = new Sprite();

      platform.graphics.beginFill(yourColor, 1); 
      platform.graphics.drawRect(x,y,width,height);
      platform.graphics.endFill();
      
      addChild(platform);

     platforms.push(platform);

     platform.x = 50* i;   // position how you like it
     platform.y = 100;


}
}

function checkColl(e:Event):void
{
     for (var i:int = 0; i < platforms.length; i++)
         {
              if (obj.hitTestObject(platforms[i]))
             {
                //do something
              }

         }

}
