Parent Child Scripting II

Using your knowledge of parent child scripting, try to replicate this movie above. The first thing to do is to create three vector shapes, and place in channels 1, 2 and 3. Then, open a parent script and declare the following properties:

property pChannel, pSpeed, pStart, pRotation

(pChannel will reference the sprite channel your vector shape sits in)

If you need some help...read through my scripts below. I have used a neat script called the actorList to initiate all the scripts that move the objects around on stage.

In frame 1, there is a behavior script that reads:

on exitFrame me

barry=new(script "fall", 1, 1,15,1)

joan=new(script "fall", 2,2,200,2)

michael=new(script "fall", 3,10,290,5)

end

In frame 5, there is a behavior script that reads:

on exitFrame me

allMove

--allMove is a custom handler I wrote it's defined next.

go the frame

end

A new movie script, the custom handler, allmove, reads:

on allMove

if count(the actorList) > 0 then

--checks to make sure that something is in fact in the actorlist

repeat with x = 1 to count(the actorList)

animateIt getAt(the actorList, x)

--this script makes the objects fall

blinkit getAt(the actorList, x)

--this script changes the skew and blend of the objects

end repeat

end if

end

The parent script reads:

property pChannel, pSpeed, pStart, pRotation

--four parameters defined

on new me, myChannel, mySpeed, myStart, myRotation

--initialize properties

me.pChannel=myChannel

me. pSpeed=mySpeed

me.pStart=myStart

me.pRotation=myRotation

add the actorList, me

--each instance of an object is added to this special list, called "the actorlist"

return me

end

on animateIt me

if sprite(pChannel).locV > 350 then

sprite(pChannel).locV= 1

else

sprite(pChannel).locV = sprite(pChannel).locV + pSpeed

sprite(pChannel).rotation= sprite(pChannel).rotation+ pRotation

end if

sprite(pChannel).loch = pStart

updatestage

end

on blinkIt me

sprite(pchannel).blend=random(100)

sprite(pchannel).skew=random(200)

end
