Modulus 6.
y_counter%6.

I've got a rounding problem eating my brain away!

When my character walks down tiles, I have a y_counter to keep track of his position. The counter goes up sequentially, 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7 etc.
I...

So in theory I could store the map information in a txt and export txt with recompiled data?

So I'm working on a tile based engine, and how I load the maps in is via .as file.
Is there any way to export (save) an .as file that's been manipulated in the swf? (I have a map editor, and want to...

Answering another one of my questions I see... :crazy:
I used the eval to use dynamic array naming.



on (release)
{
for(count=1,age=1; count<=5; count++)
{
testing = eval("a" +...

I feel like a complete ass hat having this staring me in the face and not having a solution to it.

What do I need to make this dynamic and not such a cluster of code!? :confused:



on...

[**SOLVED**]
So the answer for this one was both Recursion and Pass by reference.
Recursion to call the function from the function.
Pass by reference because I never knew flash would let you pass...

PM'd with the file, so you can help a noobie.

So I need _root.a1[1] to be dynamic too.
Would I just do like


var plant //whatever plant is

var f1 = {};

f1.func = _root.tilePlant;
f1.args = [plant, 1, 11, _root.plant1[4]];

So, how do I explain this?...
I'm working with all dynamic stuff.

On the main frame, I have a function, with parameters.
Each tile (there's 25), holds it's own call on the function.

Main...

How would I got about setting up classes in as2?
I've used them in c++, but never flash.

I want to have like:

class plants
{
public:
int number;
int age;

Ok. I put in the random value to stop the caching from happening, but it still doesn't update. Maybe I'm calling it wrong or something?

Maybe my function isn't right? :confused:

I found a tutorial (forgot to get the link) that worked...
But I have a problem refreshing it >:(

flash code:


var here = this;
varReceiver = new LoadVars();
varReceiver.load("coins.php");...

Say in my php file I have:

$coins = $mysql_coin_value;

Every time you press the button in flash, it calls the php that deducts a point in the mysql database. I got this working. Now...

I...

So I have a mysql database with uses info.
The user has 5 coins a day that they can use.
When the user clicks a button in flash, I want it to send a php script that I have to deduct a point.

How...

Is there a way to attach a movie clip to a movie clip?

_root.MC.attachMovie(MC,MC2,0,ATTACH_MC);

Something like that? Because that doesn't work lol :confused:

I have 3 text boxes.

Input.
User.
Password.

I want to be able to paste a line like:

joe***mycat1***
into the input box, and it out in the user and password field without the *'s on a...

As in, the same location.
Local.

I don't even know where to start with this one, I'm completely new to as3.
I know as2 couldn't read in txt's line by line.

What I'm going for is read in a txt line by line as a button is pressed....

It did come down to an array!
I ran across what I was looking for on accident in, you guessed it, one of tonypa's tutorials!

See, what I wanted to do is be able to add like an age by frame....

Couldn't I just use a For loop for that?
Something like:


for(i=1; i<counter; i++)
{
block1.i.gotoAndStop(_currentframe = day);
}

Ok, so I changed it so each movie clip name is dynamic.
Problem is now, when I try to use a _currentframe on them, BOOM! lol
If I use something like:

block1.counter.gotoAndStop(_currentframe =...

So I've attached a couple movie clips with some actionscript.
All of the same mc.

I have a day counter.
When the day ages, I want the mc to age.
When I try to age the blocks, only one will age....

I remember going to a website dedicated to a HUGE puzzle game.
It worked on a room basis. Once you figured out how to get to the next room,
the page would reload and you'd have to beat that room...

That works for the foundation of what I'm trying to do, but as far as fine tuning goes, the transition is a bit rough.
