Hi everyone

I have a Facebook app I did in Flash. The app sits in a PHP wrapper. When I access the PHP with a normal URL call in the browser it loads and all is fine. However, when I try to access...

I am writing an application that layers several PNG images with alpha on top of each other. Is there a way for me to convert this set of images to a single PNG with alpha, at runTime, and safe the...

Again, my apologies to everyone who's submitted scores and had them changed in the meantime. I had to tweak a couple of things and that obviously influenced the trajectory of the existing submissions...

Thanks, I've now fixed the default purple launcher. I've also made some futher tweaks to the different gadgets to reduce the effectiveness of loop setups (I had to adjust the scores in the DB to...

:) I might think of calling myself a programmer when I start understanding what's going on. With the problems I encounter I keep thinking there is something fundamental I still don't understand.
...

There will be some inconsistency in the scores and replay as I am still tweaking some of the physics.

Yes, as this game is still being tested I'm still tweaking things so I'll have to fix those scores :shhh:

Your point about the levels is something I've considered as well but I think I'll do it as...

I agree with you but AS3 lifted the level of entry and I think this means a lot of artists are not going to be able to do what they used to do in AS2. My wife works with me and she's an artist and...

Thanks for the feedback everyone.

Ray Beez, I've added a little reminder for those who do not bother to read the instructions ; ) which includes, me most of the time. I’ve also taken the count...

I am in the final stages of putting together this paging comic application/site. Please have a look and let me know what you think and any bugs you might experience.

Here is my first ever AS3 project and my first attempt at doing anything OOP related. I am not a programmer. I am an artist and this game was a personal challenge to see if I can crack AS3 which, to...

I need to create two instances of the same movie clip and when the button on either one of them are pressed the other one needs to know about it as well. These two movie clip instance sit within a...

I want to first see some sample games, then I look at the CV, then I want to see some sample code, then I check references. The other thing I've learned from hard experience is first work with a...

You've got good memory tonypa but no, the game has a new set of graphics and yes it's taken this long to get the OK to release it.

0vidiu, you are right, the game requires a little practice and...

I think the problem is there is a lot of people that want to be game developers and many are either very inexperienced or don’t have what it takes. Game development can also be expensive (if you...

Meatball Blaster and no, you don't blast meat balls. They are these insect things living on a hidden island called Orsum Island.

Have fun...

I might be able to help you out. I am also 'outside London' :) .... Birmingham, to be exact. This site lists some samples of work I've done:

I've done it the way entechie suggested and the way I've always done it in AS2 but to be honest, it's ugly and I agree that Adobe should have given us a more elegant way in AS3 ... ha well, the rest...

Ah, floating point errors, yes, that rings an unpleasant bell ... you are right, that's what it is.

The sample code is a simplification of my game code. I do store the rotation but obviously as...

I have a problem with the accuracy of the rotateAroundExternalPoint method. I have a game in which I need to be able to reset all the parameters to a previous restore point. The problem is that the...

Thanks, you are being very helpfull. Just a quesiton on your last comment: The problem is that in my loop every intances is called myBob so if I use myBob.x = 30 it will only move the last created...

Thanks for the responce PlenaryCreation.

I am still confused. If I add a child in a specific place then surely that instance should have a specific name that I can reference. So if I add a MC...

I am slowly getting into AS3 and think it is brilliant but I know there are fundamental things I do not understand and this is causing lots of headaches. A lot of it has to do with scoping. The code...

That is truely extraordinary. Thanks for the responce.

For some reason I expected the width property to by the width of the actual movieClip instance, regardless or rotation, but now it seems this...

Hi

I need to check the bound of a rotating object. The code below has two versions: A) rotates the block itself and B) rotates a block within the movieClip. Only B works but for the purposes of my...
