Yeah. Didn't they just come out with a new licence. Totally free, until you make 50k from it? Don't quote me on that though. I just remember reading it somewhere not long ago.

The new flash player...

Damn, I knew there were a lot of games being released but common!

I haven't been doing a heap of flash either. But planning to get back into it.

Not sure what I would suggest. Probably a good idea to get onto the HTML5 band wagon now :)

I still can't work this out. If I try to retrieve the loaded swf from BulkLoader it gives me the instance of that swf and I cant do the following.



url = "ball.swf"

mc1 =...

Hey all, I'm currently using BulkLoader to load in swfs as MovieClips. What I'm trying to do though is duplicate the loaded movieclips and attach them to other clips?

I seen something that...

That's perfect. I didn't realise you could check for undefined on empty array values.

Because this is an array that holds inventory instead of splicing items from the array to remove them, should...

I'm just fooling around making an inventory system and I was wondering if there is a way to work out the next available index in an array without pushing the item into the array.

So for instance

I'm currently fooling around making a side scrolling game which levels are built like levels in worms. I have a character running around on the level. I think my collision detection is fine, I...

I found and I'm using this

Works fine. Only trouble I'm having now is working out when to switch from making dark shading to light shading depending...

I was wondering if there is a way to find a slightly darker and slightly lighter colour based on a particular value?

I have a MovieClip with 2 nested MovieClips inside. The background movie I set...

Has anyone told you that you are a GOD! That's a much better idea then what I had in mind. I was looping through the strings with a switch to assign the properties rather then the properties...

I was just wondering if this is possible and the best way to achieve the following.

I have 3 classes. One base class and 2 subclasses. eg MyShape, Square, Circle. The Circle and Square classes...

Thanks dawsonk and moagrius for the replies. Both worked perfectly. Much appreciated.

I don't know if its over kill but this is how im doing it atm



var nameStr:String = "Box1234";
var lastChars:String = nameStr.substr(-4,4);
var number:Number = Number(lastChars);
...

EDIT: The title was supposed to be "Strip trailing numbers from string"

I have a few strings that I'm looping through to make sure they all are the same format.

Example date

Has anyone here tried making games with HTML 5?

Actually I just searched and it was sort of a package problem.

The logic package already contained a class called bigbox and even though I imported com.site.boxes.BigBox;

The one in the package...

Ahh that seems pretty smart, because I was thinking man I could have hundreds of these classes. It will suck having,

var shirt:Shirt;
var shirt2:Shirt2;
var shirt3:Shirt3;
eg

I'll give it a...

Well, Box and BiggerBox both site inside the same package

package com.site.boxes {}

but the class calling the bigbox.somemethod(); is inside another package

package com.site.logic {}

I have this problem from time to time with AS3 where I extend a Class and then try call methods and variables which are public from the new class but I get errors that method or variable doesn't...

5TonsOfFlax: Yeah that missing argument is a typo :) Yeah I've been searching around and it seems your right. At least one instance needs to have been created. Also I have the class imported in the...

Hey guys, I've been trying to play around with this all weekend does anyone have an idea of how to get it working?

I'm having a couple problems with getDefinitionByName. What im trying to do is the following.

I load in a XML file with several items in an inventory which contain a couple details.

Eg

Ahh cool, so there is no way to force a garbage collection in flash?

PS: I cannot believe I spelt dictionary as disctonary in the title?

So how would I then delete the object from memory and from the dictionary

objectById[_object.getId()] = null; ?

Would this cause garbage collection on the object? Or will null be considered as...
