Hey, I am new here. So bare with me. I am working on a globe portion of my
file I want the globe to look like it is turning. so I randomly generated green
islands on a blue background.
Just looks like a short segment of a circle blue with green islands on it.
Since I wanted to continuously generate islands as I scroll, I chose random.
The code that I used: prototype.loadIsland below (Works Just Fine). What I
want to do is take the island instances and scroll them towards to bottom of
the screen and expand it so It looks like getting closer or flying towards a
horizon from the air. Use:
island._xscale+=2;
island._yscale+=1;
island._y+=2;
the only problem is that I want to run a function for all island instances
after they are on screen. If you look at the code below, that means either
setting a function to move them individually till they are off screen, or maybe
with an array after they are all generated and moving the batch, and unloading
them at a high enough y value (when they are off screen).
then reloading a version of the function with tighter placement parameters
(smaller and on the horizon), and looping through the scroll function. For a
constantly spinning globe. I will share the code with anyone who helps me out
on this.
Anyone Have any solutions or ideas that would work?
_global.islandClass=function(){};
island = new islandClass();
islandClass.prototype.loadIsland=function(){
islandNum=1;
for(i=251;i<=291;i++){
attachMovie("island", "island"+islandNum, islandNum);
//placing the mc, naming the instance and adding it to the level (islandNum).
island=eval("island"+islandNum);
//generating an instance for the object
x=random(900);
while(x<0 || x>800){x=random(900);}
island._x=x;
//x parameters - keeping it on screen not sure if I need to do this.
y=random(600);
while(y<425 || y>500){ y=random(600);}
island._y=y;
//y parameters - lower portion of screen
scale=random(64);
islandNum++;}
}
Thank you!!
