How do I get the child of a unique parent in ActionScript?
- by Koen
My question is about targeting a child with a unique parent. For example. Let's say I have a box people can move called box_mc and 3 platforms it can jump on called:
Platform_1
Platform_2
Platform_3
All of these platforms have a child element called hit.
Platform_1
Hit
Platform_2
Hit
Platform_3
Hit
I use an array and a for each statement to detect if box_mc hits one of the platforms childs.
var obj_arr:Array = [Platform_1, Platform_2, Platform_3];
for each(obj in obj_arr){
if(box_mc.hitTestObject(obj.hit)){
trace(obj + " " + obj.hit);
box_mc.y = obj.hit.y - box_mc.height;
}
}
obj seems to output the unique parent it is hitting but obj.hit ouputs hit, so my theory is that it is applying the change of y to all the childs called hit in the stage. Would it be possible to only detect the child of that specific parent?
