[Flashcoders] Weird Behavior of hitTestPoint and removeChild()

[anuj sharma]

Hi
I am trying to drag and drop multiple instances of UILoader on stage. My
goal is if user puts UILaoder partially on top of other UILoader , it should
just stay on top of it. If user puts on top of UILoader more than the
central point of other UILoader, the other UILoader will change the color of
its border and on mouse release gets replaced by the placed UILoader.
I am successful in getting all this but I am getting inconsistent results as
an output. Sometimes I have to put exactly on top of other UILoader to
replace it and sometimes I just touch the UILoader and it shows red border
and gets replaced. I used the logic of calculating the center of
rectangle(my UILoader container) and use hitPoint method, and as soon as
dragged UILoader hits the calculated center of UILoader, it gets replaced.
Please help me out in where I am messing things up.Any better idea than this
will also be highly appreciated.
( Following is the function which is telling my UILoader to replace of
stopDrag.)
Thanks a lot

Nice. That's a new one.

Firefox right-click zoom on OS X is screwed up with Flash Player.  
It does all sorts of weird crap on different machines.


For me, it always jumps to a hotkey to "bookmark" the current page.  
Pretty fricking annoying if you ask me.

What is the best collision system for a platform game? I've currently looked

 actually box-to-box collision. Any ideas?



The Flashplayer's native hitTest() is a fast bounding box test for two
specific clips, or pixel-exact test for a point and a clip. But if you
have several objects you need to test against each other, then
minimizing the total number of tests should come first. A quad tree
helps with that:



That should give you a small number of potential hits, which you can
then test with a more exact (and expensive) operation.

   ctfm.color = 0x00ff00;
   e.target.transform.colorTransform = ctfm;

To make your approach work, you can draw a rectangle in ldrBdr and
bdrRep (one in red and one in green) and toggle the alpha of one of them
sits above the other (if you addChild() it goes above everything already
in the display list).

Or just change the colour of one border Sprite instead.
