Flash doesn't have any kind of built-in 3d engine or "perspective" transformations (like you'd find in photoshop" so there's really no way to create a dynamic 3d-page turning effect with the movie...

Try setting the Sync on your sound settings to Stream, which will lock the timing in with the frames instead of keeping them seperate. If you have a small sound effect, you just want it to start...

You're going to have to delve back into some physics for that one. Stuff like

1/2m1v1^2 + 1/2m2v2^2 = 1/2m1'v1'^2 + 1/2m2'v2^2'
and
m1v1 +m2v2 = m1'v1' + m2'v2',

plus the fact that the force...

If the name is dynamically added, you can use the same variable that spits out the name to add it to the object/embed code for the SWF. like say your asp looks something like this:

The whole purpose of a portfolio is to show of other work you've done. I would say that to make an effective portfolio, you need to keep it simple. That doesn't mean, however, that you should keep it...

Another thing you could do is create a text file, call it "user".pass where user is the username, and have text inside it be something like password="password" where "password" is the pw for the user...

I usually estimate at $65/hour, and present the client with a bid for a single dollar amount for a set amount of time. I also let them know that I keep track of the hours and anything that takes...

I think the real key is that the market will settle, but not dissappear.

Talent is always recognized at some level, and lately the bar has been dramatically lowered. People have been rushing so...

Here's a little fla that does what I talked about in the previous email.

You could make a little actionscript that ran in a loop and each time upped the size by like 2% until it made it the right size. That way you'd get a smooth increase in size without the jerkiness of...

I can leave the panel open and get the different actions just fine. What I'm wondering is if there is a way to select an object so that it brings up the Object Actions panel, without clicking on the...

Is there any way to bring up the object actions panel without actually clicking on the object? In 4 you could click on a frame the object was located in and then go modify>instance and it would let...

The way I would do this with movie clips is make clips with different keyframes and labels. Take the background for instance - make one movie clip that has a different image at each of 10 key frames,...

Open the character map program (should be under accessories) and select the font you're using, select the character you want to copy, and then copy it and paste it into your movie. If you're using...

I would save them as individual swfs and then make sure they're preloaded before they can be called by your base swf. I also agree with the previous post that if you're going to do this more often...

Several things that might save you time:

Get yourself a screen capture utility, and then open the swf. Step through the movie each time and hit the screen capture hotkey, and it'll make one big...

Did you mean just changing the background to a static image, or did you mean having the .swf change the background of the pge it's on on the fly? If the first, then go with the previous post... If...

Is there a way to indirectly select objects, like the Flash 4 method of simply clicking on the frame they're located in, so that the Actions panel registers Obect actions instead of Frame actions? I...

First, if your session variable isn't working then you might have some kind of problem. Are you sure the <cfoutput> is valid?

The other thing I can suggest is in your object and embed tags use...

Hey thanks for the info. I remember the Taylor Series (all that calculus you thought you'd never use). The arctan seems like a much better solution. Since everything in my litte creation here is in...

I have been trying to get this arm thing working for a while

and I finally got it this morning. The only problem is that I can only get it to give me cosine...

Languages like C++ have different ways of addressing arrays. I mean I know in the end it's always a lot of single variables stored in memory, but other programming languages seem to have arrays...

Does flash actually have provisions for using true arrays or is what they call an array basically just a bunch of variables with the same name and a number tacked on the end?

I can work through my...

Hey, thanks.

That load/unload trig library sounds great. I could just create the whole thing, load what I want from it into an array in my real movie, then cut it out, unloading it from memory....

I am trying to load a bunch of cosine^-1 values (0-360 degrees in 0.5 degree increments) into an array from a text file. I created a C++ program to output the values in a...
