Nice intro,

I love that animation style. The site design is pretty straight forward and easy to navigate. Nice sounds.

But I was still having trouble getting the site to load. This time the...

Hi,
It looks nice, but why does it take so long to download? I'm on a cable modem and it took almost 2 minutes to load the page. And, other than the music, it doesn't look like there's a lot of data...

Hi,

I wasn't really thinking of a bytes loaded or anything. There aren't that many images, but I did want to take the delay out of their appearance.

This is what I've worked out, if anybody...

Hi,

I'm wondering what the best way to preload images from an XML database is.

I've found lots of tutorials on getting the images into flash from XML, but can't find anything on preloaders.

Ok,
I think this is what you're asking.

Make a bunch of layers for all your content.

Place the things that won't change on one layer(logo and menu)

Now, on a different layer start adding...

I'm fairly new to flash so forgive my lack of knowledge.

I was trying to make a preloader for images that are loaded via xml.

My theory was to attach the various images to frames in a...

Hi,

Is it possible to add frames to a movie clip using actionscript?

thanks

Hi,

I'm fairly new to flash, but was wondering if anybody out there with a slower machine could take a look at this for me:

EXCELLENT!

I set the trackAsMenu and used onDragOver and now it works like a charm!

Thanks senocular!

I'll give that a go.

thanks

hmmm...

darn hitTest!

I had it set up with buttons, but I couldn't get it to work properly. The problem I ran into was wanting the tile to change if the mouse was down and if it was over the...

Hi,

I'm just learning about the whole tile based map thing and I've built a map-maker for the PacMan Game I'm trying to make.

But, the mouse seems to lag behind and occasionally misses the...

Hi,

I had tried the onDragOut and onDragOver events, but they both function based on if the mouse is clicked over the object first.

I think you were right though, Noslen, I was trying to get...

Nice!

That was exactly it, I just added this code to the begining:



map = new Array();
for(i=0; i<15; i++){
map[ i ] = new Array();
}

Hi,

I'm trying to make a map generator for my Pac-Man game. I have it all set up so you can draw it on the screen and all that, but I'm running into trouble outputting it. I think it might be...

This is just a guess,

but if you check out the properties on the imported jpegs in your library, is the "use imported jpeg data" box checked?

That might help things out.

Hi,

I'm trying to make a map editor for a simple pac-man game in flash mx.

I have a bunch of copies of the one movie clip with the same action script in it:

onRollOver =...

Thanks everybody,

The help is much appreciated.

It's pretty crafty the way it all works. Lots of nifty little tricks!

Man was I starting in the wrong direction. Thank's for the advice!

Hi,

I hope this isn't too newbie a question for here. But....

I'm just trying to learn flash and I'm making a PacMan game but I'm not sure the best way to make the maze.

Right now, I have it...

DOH!

Just figured out the root of my problem. I was using the system font and not a "real" font. I changed the font and now it works great.

Merci Beacoup!

Ummmm...

My text is now showing up.

Although it does seem kind of strange to convert static text to dynamic text just so I can embed the font and have it show up in the mask. Seems rather...

Bull's eye!

That's exactly what the problem is. When I take the mask off the text shows up.

Now that I know where the problem is hopefully I can figure out a work-around.

Thanks's a...

Gidday,

Just wondering if anybody else has ran into this problem with importing swf files.

I have a swf that's a map. So, it's a vector line drawing with a few bits of text to show the streets...
