Loading previously Saved objects into separate FLA's
Hey everyone, I had a similar discussion about a similar problem I was having. But this time, I need to load previously saved object(s) into a separate FLA when the game is launched. Here's a little run down (for those of you who don't already know). Within the customize screen I have color selection and gear to add to the character. The color saves and loads when reopened or launched into the game. The gear saves and loads when reopened but NOT launched into game. I have a class for the slider which is attached to character in the Customize FLA as well as the Game FLA. (Separate FLA's).
The class looks like this:
package
{
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import fl.motion.AdjustColor;
import flash.filters.ColorMatrixFilter;
import flash.net.SharedObject;
public class Dino extends MovieClip
{
private var color:AdjustColor = new AdjustColor();
private var filter:ColorMatrixFilter;
private var so:SharedObject;
public function Dino():void
{
color.brightness = 0;
color.contrast = 0;
color.saturation = 0;
so = SharedObject.getLocal("myStuff","/");
if (so.data.hue)
{
color.hue = so.data.hue;
}
else
{
color.hue = 0;
}
so.flush();
update();
}
private final function update():void
{
filter = new ColorMatrixFilter(color.CalculateFinalFlatArray());
this.filters = [filter];
}
}
}
This saves and loads the adjusted color of the Character through separate FLA's.
The code for the Customize FLA is as follows:
import flash.events.KeyboardEvent;
var Head:Loader = new Loader();
var RightLeg:Loader = new Loader();
var LeftLeg:Loader = new Loader();
var Head2:Loader = new Loader();
var RightLeg2:Loader = new Loader();
var LeftLeg2:Loader = new Loader();
var so:SharedObject=SharedObject.getLocal("myStuff","/");
if(so.data.gear1){
loadPic1(null);
}
if(so.data.gear2){
loadPic2(null);
}
Add.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, loadPic1);
Remove.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, loadPic2);
function loadPic1(MouseEvent):void {
var headRequest:URLRequest=new URLRequest("TestHead.png");
Head.load(headRequest);
Head.y = -150;
Sliders.Dino.Head.addChild(Head);
var rightRequest:URLRequest=new URLRequest("TestRightLeg.png");
RightLeg.load(rightRequest);
Sliders.Dino.RightLeg.addChild(RightLeg);
var leftRequest:URLRequest=new URLRequest("TestLeftLeg.png");
LeftLeg.load(leftRequest);
Sliders.Dino.LeftLeg.addChild(LeftLeg);
Head2.unload();
RightLeg2.unload();
LeftLeg2.unload();
so.data.gear1=true;
so.data.gear2=false;
so.flush();
}
function loadPic2(MouseEvent):void {
var headRequest:URLRequest=new URLRequest("TestHead2.png");
Head2.load(headRequest);
Head2.y = -150;
Sliders.Dino.Head.addChild(Head2);
var rightRequest:URLRequest=new URLRequest("TestRightLeg2.png");
RightLeg2.load(rightRequest);
Sliders.Dino.RightLeg.addChild(RightLeg2);
var leftRequest:URLRequest=new URLRequest("TestLeftLeg2.png");
LeftLeg2.load(leftRequest);
Sliders.Dino.LeftLeg.addChild(LeftLeg2);
Head.unload();
RightLeg.unload();
LeftLeg.unload();
so.data.gear1=false;
so.data.gear2=true;
so.flush();
}
Accept.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, AcceptImage);
PlayBTN.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, PlayGame);
function AcceptImage(MouseEvent)
{
MovieClip(stage.getChildAt(0)).loadThisScreen("Menu.swf");
}
function PlayGame(MouseEvent)
{
MovieClip(stage.getChildAt(0)).loadThisScreen("Level Select.swf");
}
The menu is split up into separate FLA's and it uses a preloader to navigate from one SWF to another. Customize and Game are separate FLA's.
The code for the Game FLA looks like this:
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.events.KeyboardEvent;
var music:Sound = new Sound();
var musicChannel:SoundChannel = new SoundChannel();
var lastPosition:Number = 0;
music.load(new URLRequest("Bongo.mp3"));
musicChannel = music.play();
stage.frameRate = 0;
var spd:Number = 1;
var vel:Number = 0;
var Animation:String;
var stop_where;
var gravity:Number = .9;
var ay = 0;
var jumpCounter:Number = 0;
var worldSpeed:Number = 10;
var canJump:Boolean = false;
var jumping:Boolean = false;
var isRunning:Boolean = false;
var score:int = 0;
stop();
Dino.gotoAndStop("running");
ClickToPlay.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, gamestart);
function gamestart(event:MouseEvent):void
{
stage.frameRate = 60;
ClickToPlay.visible = false;
}
//Randomly Generated Platform stuff!!
var showMcNum:Number = 0;
var movieList:Array = [LevelOne];
var mc:MovieClip = getRandomMovie();
function getRandomMovie():MovieClip
{
return new movieList[Math.floor(Math.random()*movieList.length)];
}
addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, Click);
function Click(event:MouseEvent):void
{
trace("Added")
addChild(mc);
mc.x = 4800;
mc.y = 380;
}
//End Randomly Generated Platform Stuff!!
function main(e:Event):void
{
if(Ground.x < -2200)
mc.x -= worldSpeed;
scoreBox.text = score.toString();
Ground.x -= worldSpeed;
//Ground Movement in main loop 
//GP means Ground Piece
vel += spd;
vel *= gravity;
Dino.y += vel;
switch(Animation){
case "Idle":
Dino.gotoAndStop("running");
break;
case "Down":
Dino.gotoAndStop("rolling")
break;
}
}
//Key down code
stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, main);
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, movement);
function movement(e:KeyboardEvent):void{
if(e.keyCode == Keyboard.SPACE && canJump) {
jump();
//Animation = "Up";
canJump = false;
}
if(e.keyCode == Keyboard.DOWN && Dino.currentLabel!="rolling"){
Animation = "Down";
}

Animation = "Idle";
}
trace (Animation);
}
function jump():void {
if ( canJump == true){
trace("jump");
canJump = false;
vel = -20;
jumping = true;
Animation = "Idle";
}
}
function roll():void {

Animation = "Down";
}
}
Go.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, StartPlaying);
function StartPlaying(event:MouseEvent):void
{

}
SoundOn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, MusicOn);
function MusicOn(event:MouseEvent):void
{
SoundOff.visible = true;
SoundOn.visible = false;
lastPosition = musicChannel.position;
musicChannel.stop();
}
SoundOff.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, MusicOff);
function MusicOff(event:MouseEvent):void
{
SoundOff.visible = false;
SoundOn.visible = true;
musicChannel = music.play(lastPosition);
}
Retry.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, Reset);
function Reset(event:MouseEvent):void
{
stage.removeEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, movement);
stage.removeEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_UP, stopMovement);
stage.removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, main)
MovieClip(stage.getChildAt(0)).loadThisScreen("Menu.swf");
}
This all works perfectly fine and executes the way I want it to. It loads in the color from the Class in both the Customize and Game. The gear loads in the Customize but NOT the game.
All I need is to get it load in-game and I have been trying to get this to work for weeks. I have tried everything. Anybody out there know what I need to add in order for the gear to be loaded into my game and not just my Customize screen?! Any help is greatly appreciate. Thank you all in advanced!
