Creating a Pentomino game using AS3 Part 44

Today we continue working on the level selection menu.

We first need to go to level_item.as and fix some fundamental problems with selecting a level there.

Move the line that adds Click event listener for the button to constructor, and use theGrid and theShapes values instead of mapGrid and shapes.

public function level_item() 
{
btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, function() { (root as MovieClip).playLevel(theGrid, theShapes); } );
}

Declare these variables:

private var theGrid:Array;
private var theShapes:Array;

And set their values in setLevel():

public function setLevel(mapGrid:Array, shapes:Array, title:String):void {
tTitle.text = title;
levelPreview.mouseEnabled = false;
drawPreview(levelPreview, mapGrid);
theGrid = mapGrid;
theShapes = shapes;
}

Full level_item.as code:

package  
{
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;

/**
* Open-source pentomino game engine
* @author Kirill Poletaev
*/

public class level_item extends MovieClip
{
private var theGrid:Array;
private var theShapes:Array;

public function level_item()
{
btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, function() { (root as MovieClip).playLevel(theGrid, theShapes); } );
}

public function setLevel(mapGrid:Array, shapes:Array, title:String):void {
tTitle.text = title;
levelPreview.mouseEnabled = false;
drawPreview(levelPreview, mapGrid);
theGrid = mapGrid;
theShapes = shapes;
}

private function drawPreview(levelPreview:MovieClip, mapGrid:Array):void {
var columns:int = mapGrid[0].length;
var rows:int = mapGrid.length;
var frameWidth:int = levelPreview.width;
var frameHeight:int = levelPreview.height;
var padding:int = 5;
var fitWidth:int = levelPreview.width - (padding * 2);
var fitHeight:int = levelPreview.height - (padding * 2);
var gridStartX:int;
var gridStartY:int;

// calculate width of a cell:
var gridCellWidth:int = Math.round(fitWidth / columns);

var width:int = columns * gridCellWidth;
var height:int = rows * gridCellWidth;

// calculate side margin
gridStartX = (frameWidth - width) / 2;

if (height < fitHeight) {
gridStartY = (fitHeight - height) / 2;
}
if (height >= fitHeight) {
gridCellWidth = Math.round(fitHeight / rows);
height = rows * gridCellWidth;
width = columns * gridCellWidth;
gridStartY = (frameHeight - height) / 2;
gridStartX = (frameWidth - width) / 2;
}

// draw map
levelPreview.x = gridStartX;
levelPreview.y = gridStartY;
levelPreview.graphics.clear();
var i:int;
var u:int;

for (i = 0; i < rows; i++) {
for (u = 0; u < columns; u++) {
if (mapGrid[i][u] == 1) drawCell(u, i, 0xffffff, 1, 0x999999, gridCellWidth, levelPreview);
}
}
}

private function drawCell(width:int, height:int, fill:uint, thick:Number, line:uint, gridCellWidth:int, gridShape:MovieClip):void {
gridShape.graphics.beginFill(fill);
gridShape.graphics.lineStyle(thick, line);
gridShape.graphics.drawRect(width * gridCellWidth, height * gridCellWidth, gridCellWidth, gridCellWidth);
}
}

}

Go to level_select.as and add a new variable levelWidth. We will use it store the value of a level thumbnails width:

private var levelWidth:int;

We set that value in the constructor, and immediately used it a few lines below - when setting levelHolders x value.

Also, add CLICK event handlers for btn_next and btn_prev buttons in the constructor. Add a line that calls updatePage():

public function level_select() 
{
(root as MovieClip).stop();
btn_back.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, doBack);

levelHolder = new MovieClip();
for (var i:int = 0; i < 5; i++) {
var level:MovieClip = new level_item();
levelHolder.addChild(level);
levelItems.push(level);
level.x = (level.width + distance) * i;
levelWidth = level.width;
}
addChild(levelHolder);
levelHolder.y = 120;
levelHolder.x = -(levelWidth + distance) * 2 + levelWidth / 2;
goX = levelHolder.x;
selectLevel();
setChildIndex(btn_next, numChildren - 1);
setChildIndex(btn_prev, numChildren - 1);
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, onFrame);
btn_next.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, goNext);
btn_prev.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, goPrev);
updatePage();
}

The goNext() and goPrev() functions increase or decrease currentLevel value by one, call selectLevel and then reposition levelHolder on the x axis. Call updatePage().

private function goNext(evt:MouseEvent):void {
currentLevel++;
selectLevel();
levelHolder.x = -(levelWidth + distance) * 1 + levelWidth / 2;
updatePage();
}

private function goPrev(evt:MouseEvent):void {
currentLevel--;
selectLevel();
levelHolder.x = -(levelWidth + distance) * 3 + levelWidth / 2;
updatePage();
}

The updatePage() function updates the displayed page value. This is displayed using a dynamic text field in the MovieClip - so open Flash and add a text field with id "tPage" somewhere on the screen on the sixth frame inside level_select MC. Heres the function that updates the value:

private function updatePage():void {
tPage.text = (currentLevel + 1) + "/" + levels.length;
}

Full level_select.as code so far:

{
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
