Creating a Pentomino game using AS3 Part 16

Today well add cell highlighting to the level editor.

After the user created the grid, they will be able to edit it by replacing some cells with holes and vice versa. As the user rolls over cells with their mouse, the cells should become highlighted. Thats what were going to make today.

Go to pentomino_editor.as file. In the constructor, add an event listener for MOUSE_MOVE event, set handler to onMouseMove(). Also, add 2 lines to add gridShape and canPutShape objects to the stage.

public function pentomino_editor() 
{
addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, onMouseMove);

// add shape buttons
for (var i:int = 0; i < 4; i++) {
for (var u:int = 0; u < 3; u++) {
var shapeButton:MovieClip = new edit_shape();
shapeButton.x = 528 + u * 62;
shapeButton.y = 15 + i * 84;
addChild(shapeButton);
shapeButton.bg.alpha = 0.3;
shapeButton.shape.gotoAndStop(3 * i + u + 1);
shapeButtons.push(shapeButton);
shapeButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, buttonOver);
shapeButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, buttonOut);
}
}

// buttons
btn_mainmenu.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, doMainmenu);
btn_reset.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, function():void{newLevel()});

// new level
newLevel();

addChild(gridShape);
addChild(canPutShape);
}

Now go to newLevel() function. Here we remove the addChild(gridShape) line, but add a portion of code that draws canPutShape. We basically draw a single-cell sized rectangle with a red border, and remember to set canPutShapes alpha to 0 for now.

private function newLevel():void {
var newScreen:MovieClip = new new_edit_screen();
addChild(newScreen);
newScreen.tWidth.restrict = "0-9";
newScreen.tHeight.restrict = "0-9";
newScreen.tWidth.text = 10;
newScreen.tHeight.text = 6;
newScreen.incorrect.alpha = 0;
newScreen.btn_continue.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, editContinue);

function editContinue(evt:MouseEvent):void {
if (newScreen.tWidth.text == "" || newScreen.tHeight.text == "" || newScreen.tWidth.text == "0" || newScreen.tHeight.text == "0") {
newScreen.incorrect.alpha = 1;
return;
}
newScreen.parent.removeChild(newScreen);
mapGrid = [];
var width:int = newScreen.tWidth.text;
var height:int = newScreen.tHeight.text;
for (var i:int = 0; i < height; i++) {
mapGrid[i] = [];
for (var u:int = 0; u < width; u++) {
mapGrid[i][u] = 1;
}
}
// grid settings
calculateGrid();
gridShape.x = gridStartX;
gridShape.y = gridStartY;

// draw tiles
drawGrid();

// canPutShape settings
canPutShape.graphics.clear();
canPutShape.graphics.lineStyle(2, 0xff0000);
canPutShape.graphics.drawRect(0, 0, gridCellWidth, gridCellWidth);
canPutShape.alpha = 0;
}
}

Now go to onMouseMove() function. Here we first check if mapGrids length is not zero. If so, we calculate the position of the cell, check if such cell exists, then set canPutShapes alpha value to 1 if it does, and to 0 if it doesnt.

private function onMouseMove(evt:MouseEvent):void {
if(mapGrid.length>0){
var mousePos:Point = new Point(Math.floor((mouseX - gridStartX) / gridCellWidth), Math.floor((mouseY - gridStartY) / gridCellWidth));
canPutShape.x = mousePos.x * gridCellWidth + gridStartX;
canPutShape.y = mousePos.y * gridCellWidth + gridStartY;
if (mousePos.x < mapGrid[0].length && mousePos.y < mapGrid.length && mousePos.x >= 0 && mousePos.y >= 0) {
canPutShape.alpha = 1;
}else {
canPutShape.alpha = 0;
}
}
}

Now we can highlight cells with our mouse!
