Once I find the VC tutorial I'll post a link to it for you. If anyone wants to write a .jpg encoding algorithm that would be peachy. It would probably be easier to write an encoder for a .bmp...

I was on the beta test team for the MX software package. A large reason it was released when it was (with known errors) was because the Flash Community as a whole requested it to be so. YOU, the...

Here is a simple tracking formula you can use when programming games. It also allows you to simplify hitTests since you can just use an array of the different MCs and only perform hitTests on ones...

There were a couple requests about using lineTo in order to draw a following line (like the old 45deg line trick)

Anyone made some changes to the .fla that improves/changes the way it interacts?

Just curious what we can do with a little paint program.

Anyone have any fractal generator code (AS) they'd be willing to share. I have several from VC, but it's a pain to port them all over (especially if other people have already written some).

if you have more than 3 options, you should ALWAYS use switch. It is less intensive on the processor as well as easy to read in case you distribute your .fla file.

Standard programming rules...

Sure thing, it's a standard switch statement:


myVar = Math.ceil(Math.random()*5);

switch(myVar)
{
case 1:
trace ("case 1 tested true");
break;
