[AS3] hitTestPoint() not working in Browser

[geuz]

Hi,

I'm suing hitTestPoint() in a game to determine if the character is standing on the floor. If it's not, hitTestPoint() with the floor returns false and I apply some gravity, making the char fall down.

This works when I run in Flash Professional.

But in the browser it doesn't. The character falls endlessly, because hitTestPoint() keeps returning false.

I outputted all the coords I'm using in hitTestPoint() and they are the same in Flash and in the browser.

I tried making the floor higher and made more space between the char and the floor. In Flash the char falls until it reaches the floor, like it should be, in the browser it goes all the way down through the floor and still falling...

Any ideas?

hmmm, can the movie clip be visible? And instead just lower the alpha? 0.0 for the alpha, and yet it should still 'be there'

Tested visible and invisible - same.

I made a test using hitTestObject() instead of hitTestPoint(). That works in the browser.

Maybe the coordinate system used in the browser is somehow different? As I said in my other post the values of the coordinates used in hitTestPoint() are equal in both cases, but maybe they refer to different positions on screen, or something??

Is the swf in the browser loaded into another swf first?

What method are you using to embed? Are you allowing the swf to scale according to the browser window? If you are, that's probably whats causing you this problem.

Check out globalToLocal..

Hi.
Thank you all for the anwers.
I did a workaround for this using hitTestObject() instead of hitTestPoint(). I didn't have time to investigate more the problem with hitTestPoint()... maybe I give an update of this later...
