RE: [Flashcoders] Order of events for function call
Thanks Paul
Kind of similar to what I have but with this method there is a delay if
balls are falling from high up. Ideally I would like there to be no delay
but guess that could make things too complex.
if (this.List_Of_Falling_Ball_Objects.length == 0
this.List_Of_Sliding_Ball_Objects.length == 0) {
this.Move_Balls_Up();
this.Play_Balls_Up_Sound();
}
Cheers

Without thinking about this too much, I might have a count of the balls in
transit. When a ball reaches it's destination, the count is decremented. I
would only add a new row when the count is zero. Does that do the trick?

I have another related question about this collapse game.
Every few seconds, all the rows of balls on the game screen move up one
row
and are replaced with a new row of random balls.
I have a problem whereby this may occur immediately after I have just
assigned the falling balls their new destinations. Hence the falling balls
think that the bottom row was empty and are heading to fill this gap but
now
the new line of balls has filled this gap and shifted all the tile data up
by one row.
I would appreciate any advice on how to prevent this problem.
Thanks

You can't rely on the order of events for two movies in the same
timeline. Instead, why not have an onEnterFrame in the parent clip
that calls functions in ball_mc and ball2_mc in the proper order?

Re: [Flashcoders] Order of events for function call
you can solve it with reverse ordering:
...
object2 = attachMovie(ball_mc,ball_mc2,2);
object1 = attachMovie(ball_mc,ball_mc,1);
...

I dont know why it happens but if u change the order of the attach the
object1.onEnterFrame will work first :
object2 = attachMovie(ball_mc,ball_mc2,2);
object1 = attachMovie(ball_mc,ball_mc,1);
object1.onEnterFrame = function() {
trace (Object1 enter frame);
}
object2.onEnterFrame = function() {

Re: [Flashcoders] Order of events for function call
i understand that its a example, but using an enterframe beacon rather than
multiple enterframe handlers is better and might make this kind of thing
much easier to manage

RE: [Flashcoders] Order of events for function call
Thanks Paul
Basically it is a collapse style game - where when the user clicks on a ball
that has 2 similar balls adjacent, all 3 balls disappear and the other
surrounding balls will move to fill any spaces created from the removed
balls.
Here is the basic approach I am taking:
I have a 2 dimensional array storing the game grid, each array element
stores the contents of the grid square. So the content of each square will
be either a ball object or have the value none.
After a cluster of balls are removed, I first loop through each of the
columns, and within this column loop through all the balls in this column
and check if there is a ball below it.
If there is no ball, then I attach an onEnterFrame function to make this
ball start falling. I also set the value of this grid square to none. The
onEnterFrame function will adjust the y position of the ball. It will also
check if the ball is at a node - if so then it checks the contents of the
square below it to see if it can fall further or if it needs to stop. If it
stops then I set the value of this grid square in the grid array to this
ball object.
Once all the columns have been checked for falling balls, I then loop
through all the columns again and check if any columns can move horizontally
to fill any gaps that may have appeared.
Due to this problem of the onEnterFrame not being called in the order I
assigned it, I am getting the problem where a grid square is not being
recorded as full until too late so a ball is able to move into a square that
another ball has just moved into.
I think as you suggest, I need to first create a list of all objects that
are going to move and then iterate through this loop so that the balls move
in the correct order.
Any advice much appreciated!
Paul

It doesn't really matter which you assign first, it's all determined by the
order in which flash decides to call the functions which has no relationship
to the assignment order. I suspect you would be better advised to use an
independent enterframe function that is not attached to the objects for any
processing that requires a specific order.
Perhaps you can elaborate on what you are trying to do?

Re: [Flashcoders] Order of events for function call
I believe you, but it's not a good way to build your project. As your
project gets more complicated it'll suddenly stop working as you expected.
What happens if you change the order?
Much better to have a single independent enterframe handler where the order
is important, there you can execute the functions in a clear unambiguous
order.

Re: [Flashcoders] Order of events for function call
I think you just need a single enterframe function that will update the
array/animate the balls as required. There's no need to add a separate
enterframe function to make a particular ball start falling, just control
the falling ball in the single function, just as you would in a separate
enterframe function.
Good luck,
Paul

Subject: RE: [Flashcoders] Order of events for function call
Thanks to everyone for the great advice. I have now taken your advice and
got rid of all the multiple onEnterFrames and it now works a treat.

You can't rely on the order of events for two movies in the same
timeline. Instead, why not have an onEnterFrame in the parent clip
that calls functions in ball_mc and ball2_mc in the proper order?

This may be really basic but I can't understand.
The following is a simplified version of what I am trying to achieve.
Basically I am attaching an onEnterFrame function to 2 objects, say
object1
and object2.
I am attaching it to object1 first however it is calling the onEnterFrame
function for object2 first.
I would appreciate any advice on why this is happening.
When I test the movie, the Object2 enter frame trace is displaying
first.
Here is the code for my simplified test file:
object1 = attachMovie(ball_mc,ball_mc,1);
object2 = attachMovie(ball_mc,ball_mc2,2);
object1.onEnterFrame = function() {
trace (Object1 enter frame);
}
object2.onEnterFrame = function() {
trace (Object2 enter frame);
}
Many thanks
Paul

Re: [Flashcoders] Order of events for function call
Without thinking about this too much, I might have a count of the balls in
transit. When a ball reaches it's destination, the count is decremented. I
would only add a new row when the count is zero. Does that do the trick?

I have another related question about this collapse game.
Every few seconds, all the rows of balls on the game screen move up one
row
and are replaced with a new row of random balls.
I have a problem whereby this may occur immediately after I have just
assigned the falling balls their new destinations. Hence the falling balls
think that the bottom row was empty and are heading to fill this gap but
now
the new line of balls has filled this gap and shifted all the tile data up
by one row.
I would appreciate any advice on how to prevent this problem.
Thanks
Paul
