That's pretty cool. Does it scale the image? I'm trying to remember why I abandoned it.

Hi adsalive,

Your method prevents the clipping but then doesn't it enlarge the image to match the template? increasing the file size? It's been about a year since the last time I used SwiftGen....

The problem with using swift-generator is that the images have to match the dimensions of the template. Otherwise, it'll get clipped or stretched.

some stats on it's performance under different loads and scalability would be nice.

Also, the option to send messages NOT as XML would be key. XML can take a while to parse, and ususally isn't...

Good one Rog. Thanks.

Append some random junk to the end of the URL that your server (or server side script) can ignore. It'll trick your browser into thinking it's looking for a new document.

Wow, that looks awesome!
It sounds too good to be true. Does it actually work? Anybody here have experience with it?

Oh, I didn't know that. Good job then.

Wow, I've been playing checkers wrong all these years.

Good Goin'!
Pat yourself on the back, for a long long time.

I think there's a bug in your checkers game. If I've got a jump available, it won't let me make any other move but jump.

I'll be there.
I haven't updated my site in a while, but trust me, I make flash games too.

Has nothing to do with servlets, xml, or databases. Simple fact is, you can't import a bitmap into runtime flash.

The workaround is to use generator, or one of the cheaper alternatives, to embed...

set scale_x or scale_y = -100.

Setting it to -100 again will flip it back to how it was originally.

Code looks like this...

Set Property ("clip_to_flip", X Scale) = -100

planetspasm, you're awesome! keep making what you like to make.

Ok, so lets say you've got a screen that's 5 tiles wide. And it's scrolling from right to left. Using a "double buffer" would mean that you actually have 7 tiles. 5 of which are displayed on...

Hey FlashCat,

Sorry to bug you while you're working on your game. What do you mean by double buffer?

Change your "or" to "and".

With an "or" operator, if either one of the statements is true, the entire expression evaluates as true. So the loop continues until BOTH statements are false.

PS I...

I'd check it out all the freakin' time. But as a user, not a developer. My focus is on client side programming and design.

I wish I could've used POST but it doesn't work on Mac IE 4.x. So the multiple GETs was a workaround.
