AS3 help needed if button1 of a movieclip && button2 of another movieclip clicked then gotoAndPlay

[mersini33]

I made a memory cards game which has 24 card images from which the user has to find 7 images pf them in order to win. I am a begginer of actionscript 3 all the code is on frames instead of document or class files.

All 24 card images are movieclips. The set of 7 wining images have a button with the second state in the same layer with the win image. All the cards are created dynamically from the library and not in the stage.

My problem is what i ever have tried untill now for the last code in order to win had no success i'm very desperate please help me .....I cannot make two movieclips to communicate via variables.

Main timeline frame 6 has this code:

import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import flash.events.*;
import flash.ui.Mouse;
import flash.utils.Timer;
import flash.utils.getTimer;

on each one of the seven buttons that each one is inside a movie clip I have this code:

var success:Boolean = false;
var butpic1:SimpleButton;
butpic1.enabled = true;
addChild(butpic1);

butpic1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickpics);

function clickpics(event:MouseEvent😞void {
gotoAndPlay(1);
var myTextBox:TextField = new TextField();  
  myTextBox.text = "Σωστό Συνέχισε!"; 
myTextBox.border = true;  
  myTextBox.borderColor = 0x000000;
myTextBox.width = 180;  
myTextBox.height = 87;  
myTextBox.x = -77;  
myTextBox.y = -126;
var myFormat:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
myFormat.color = 000000;

myFormat.align = TextFormatAlign.CENTER
myTextBox.background = true;  
myTextBox.backgroundColor = 0xFFF000;

Can someone please help me??

it's hard to tell exactly what you're trying to do, but this will get you better organized:

var i:int;

var deck:Array = [];

var C:Class;

var card:MovieClip;

var cols = 8;

var gapX:int = 10;

var gapY:int = 10;

var numCorrectCards:int = 0;

createDeckF();

shuffle(deck);

placeCards();

function createDeckF():void{

for(i=1;i<=7;i++){

    C = Class(getDefinitionByName('logo'+i));

    card = new C()

    card.logo = true;

    deck.push(card);

    card.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,cardClickF);

}

var skipA:Array = [1,4,8,11,16,18,19,21];

for(i=2;i<25;i++){

    if(skipA.indexOf(i)==-1){

        C = Class(getDefinitionByName('pic'+i));

        card = new C();

        deck.push(card);

        card.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,cardClickF);

    }

}

}

function placeCards():void{

for (i = 0; i<deck.length; ++i){

  addChild(deck);

  deck.x = (i%cols)*deck.width+gapX;

  deck.y =  Math.floor(i/cols)*deck.height+gapY;

}

}

function removeCards():void{

for (i=0;  i<deck.length; ++i){

  removeChild(deck);

}

}

function revealCards():void{

    for (i=0;  i<deck.length; ++i){

        deck.gotoAndStop(10);

    }

}

function hideCards():void{

    for (i=0;  i<deck.length; ++i){

        deck.gotoAndStop(1);

    }

}

function cardClickF(e:MouseEvent):void{

    e.currentTarget.gotoAndStop(10);

    if(e.currentTarget.logo){

        numCorrectCards++;

        // this is a logo card, do something

       if(numCorrectCards==7){

           // all correct cards found.  do whatever

       }

    } else {

        //this is an incorrect card, do something else.

    }

}

function shuffle(a:Array) {

    var p:int;

    var t:*;

    var ivar:int;

    for (ivar = a.length-1; ivar>=0; ivar--) {

        p=Math.floor((ivar+1)*Math.random());

        t = a[ivar];

        a[ivar] = a

        a

    }

}

I really thank you for your response.

It is difficult to explain you can see the swf here http://news.advantech.gr/game.swf

1.click the button first

2.then appeared all the cards (24) front side, stay for 5 secs so the user can memorize their position 

3.after the cards show their back side

4.the user has to find all 7 grey cards with yellow label say Correct Continue (message is in another language )

5. if the user click another card appear the message wrong and it returns to the start

All the steps work perfect except step 4 this is what i desperately want, I don't want to change my whole code 

[kglad]

use:

var t:Timer = new Timer(7000,1);

var i:int;

var deck:Array = [];

var C:Class;

var card:MovieClip;

var cols = 8;

var gapX:int = 10;

var gapY:int = 10;

var numCorrectCards:int = 0;

createDeckF();

shuffle(deck);

placeCards();

revealCards();

t.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER,hideCards);

t.start();

function createDeckF():void{

for(i=1;i<=7;i++){

    C = Class(getDefinitionByName('logo'+i));

    card = new C()

    card.logo = true;

    deck.push(card);

    card.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,cardClickF);

}

var skipA:Array = [1,4,8,11,16,18,19,21];

for(i=2;i<25;i++){

    if(skipA.indexOf(i)==-1){

        C = Class(getDefinitionByName('pic'+i));

        card = new C();

        deck.push(card);

        card.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,cardClickF);

    }

}

}

function placeCards():void{

for (i = 0; i<deck.length; ++i){

  addChild(deck);

  deck.x = (i%cols)*deck.width+gapX;

  deck.y =  Math.floor(i/cols)*deck.height+gapY;

}

}

function removeCards():void{

for (i=0;  i<deck.length; ++i){

  removeChild(deck);

}

}

function revealCards():void{

    for (i=0;  i<deck.length; ++i){

        deck.gotoAndStop(10);

    }

}

function hideCards(e:TimerEvent):void{

    for (i=0;  i<deck.length; ++i){

        deck.gotoAndStop(1);

    }

}

function cardClickF(e:MouseEvent):void{

    e.currentTarget.gotoAndStop(10);

    if(e.currentTarget.logo){

        numCorrectCards++;

        // show your yellow whatever

       if(numCorrectCards==7){

           // all correct cards found.  do whatever

       }

    } else {

        //this is an incorrect card, do something else.

    }

}

function shuffle(a:Array) {

    var p:int;

    var t:*;

    var ivar:int;

    for (ivar = a.length-1; ivar>=0; ivar--) {

        p=Math.floor((ivar+1)*Math.random());

        t = a[ivar];

        a[ivar] = a

;

        a

= t;

    }

}

Your code works well on the final step "4.the user has to find all 7 grey cards in order to win" but is not working on all the others for example

Initially the cards show the back side instead of the front and they are clickable from the start that I don't want this.....etc

I'm trying to separate from your code the function that I want for the last function "if user clicked all grey cards then wins" but no success.

In my code each movieclip has one layer from frame 1-9, which is the front side and from frame 10 is the back side that is a button and is clickable, also in frame 10  I have actionscript gotoAndPlay frame 1 --> that is the front side and I also create dynamically a textfield with the message

So I'm looking for a function that might be perhaps on each of the 7 movieclips on frame 10 whereas are functioning as buttons, I think I have to create an array with the wining cards and on click it will substract 1 I'm not sure if this will work... What do you think that you are more experienced.

shall i upload the fla file to have a better understanding of what i am doing and how ?

add the mouse listeners when you want the cards to be clickable

I'm trying to separate from your code the function that I want for the last function "if user clicked all grey cards then wins" but no success.

there's nothing to separate.  just substitute the code you want to execute for the comment.

In my code each movieclip has one layer from frame 1-9, which is the front side and from frame 10 is the back side that is a button and is clickable, also in frame 10  I have actionscript gotoAndPlay frame 1 --> that is the front side and I also create dynamically a textfield with the message

fix the goto's to match your setup

So I'm looking for a function that might be perhaps on each of the 7 movieclips on frame 10 whereas are functioning as buttons, I think I have to create an array with the wining cards and on click it will substract 1 I'm not sure if this will work... What do you think that you are more experienced.

i don't understand what you're trying to explain but the code is suggested should work to determine when all seven logo cards have been clicked.  if you can click the same logo card twice and that's causing problems, remove its listener:

function cardClickF(e:MouseEvent):void{

    e.currentTarget.gotoAndStop(10);

    if(e.currentTarget.logo){

e.currentTarget.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,cardClickF);

        numCorrectCards++;

        // show your yellow whatever

       if(numCorrectCards==7){

           // all correct cards found.  do whatever

       }

    } else {

        //this is an incorrect card, do something else.

    }

}
