Hi everyone

I'm having a bit of an issue with the AS3 bitmap object. I'm currently developing an 8-bit style pixel game for AIR for Android.
This game is being developed at a very low resolution...

I just bought a new computer last week and spent a lot of money on the latest hardware. Got the following specs:

Is there any easy way to read in tile map data from an XML file?
I'm working on an AS3 game engine which uses a multidimensional array for the map data, like this:

var map:Array = [
[1, 1, 1,...

Thanks for that. :)
I'll be sure to get the best CPU, RAM and a fast HDD with a large cache. Hopefully that will speed things up a little.

I'm looking to buy a new computer soon to replace my old quad core. Perhaps an Core i7 Extreme or something similar.

My question is, does a better, faster CPU necessarily equal faster SWF compile...

Hi Guys

Just a quick question for you. If I load an SWF file, is it possible for the pre-loader to access and change a string variable inside the loaded swf? Is there any special way to do this...

Hey guys, I've a quick question for you.
I have a game which has various cutscenes. Each cutscene is split up into 3 or 4 seperate swf movie files which can be played (and replayed) by the user.
...

Ah I see. So how would you totally delete a set of instances which have been created entirely inside the scope of a function? Lets say I used the following function to create them.

Ah excellent! :) That mean's theres no need to set anything to null. I'm guessing that only matters for objects declared within a local scope, right?

So what exactly does the delete function do? ...

Depends what I type.

getChildByName("mc") = null;
Gives me: 1105: Target of assignment must be a reference value.

And

(getChildByName("mc") as MC) = null;
Gives me: 1050: Cannot assign to...

Cool! Thanks! :)

Oh man that would be appreciated! :)




No they all move at once, and are pretty much constantly on the move.

If you can come up with a solution, then that would be awesome!!!
Any method based upon the Y value of each instance is perfect! Thats exactly what I need. Cos once the guys move up in the Y...
