i dont know if i can be more specific. getURL from flash 5 bypasses the password restriction page, but the same command from a flash mx movie gets stuck on the password page. may be some quirk with...

well i found a ghetto solution. i loaded an external flash 5 swf from the mx movie and did the getURL command from there. im still curious whats causing this though. anyone know?

im using getURL to send info to a form on an asp page from the flash player. the page the form is on is protected by a password. normally, you enter the password once and it remembers it on that...

oh man i feel stupid. the movie clip with the variables was only on one of the three frames in my swf. works fine now. thanks musicman.

when i put the content-type line it avoids the error, but it prints to the browser not to flash.

in flash i call loadVariables or getURL (i tried both) form a MC that has my variables. i have an...

i cant seem to get a perl script to return variables to flash. it gets the variables from flash just fine, but when i try to print "var=$var"; back to flash i get a malformed...

could someone at least explain the difference between sending data through the url and using the send function, particularly concerning the treatment of xml entity codes.

thanks

i am trying to make a smooth curve that goes through a set of points - essentially rounding out a polygon. flash uses a single control point for curves but my problem is getting two curves to line...

and one other problem i just discovered with LoadVars.send

has anyone experienced the problem of pasting text with special characters into an input text box in flash? what does flash do to the characters? if i knew how it was translating them, i could swap...

i dont really know if it will be used in an xml document or not, just that they want all the special charaters coded. anyway i wrote a routine to do the substitutions but i have a new problem:

thanks for the reply.

is there a way to have flash use the CODE ( &whatever; ) for special characters or do i have to write my own parser?

thanks

check the spot above each piece array[x][y-1]. if its empty, the piece should fall. simple enough?

you can use the setMask() function. first you must put the bitmap/tiles in an MC. then you just say: bitmapFillMC.setMask(pictureMC);

if you want an outline, you must add that in a separate mc...

problem? what problem? that looks awesome! no way you predrew all those pics, you must be using the api, no?

oh my only complaint is the text effects. there cool but you should be able to...

didnt realize that. i wont use the insert key on any finished project. its just for the level editor anyway. would have used pgup/down but they were going to scroll the level.

always need at least one mask with a non-rect bmp.


i basically accomplish the same thing with _visible.

nGFX: thanks, that list is very helpful.



um, the shadowing and masking are done using the api. i dont know about the 2d array. the map is a 3d array.



there are only 4 different...

didnt think you could. i guess the question is whether to use a single pic and mask for the whole block as BlinkOk suggested or a pic and mask for each side as im doing now. space vs speed.
...

by prerendering, what i mean is that i go through this process to generate a cube:

1) i attach the front and visible side(s) pics.
2) i use the drawing api to create masks for the sides because...

yea ive seen 3d tetris done somewhere a long time ago.. in an arcade i think. very much like what i have here. if you notice the blocks even get darker as they go back/down which would help...
