It seems I had to make sure the previous image was properly unloaded before loading in the new one (which I never had to worry about when using static images). Well it works now, anyway.

Thanks...

I've got a real arse of a problem which is compounded by the fact that I can't tell exactly where the problem resides.
Basically I've got a mapping application which flash requests map images from,...

problem sorted - needed to add a terminate character to the sent strings by adding chr(0) to the end in the VB app.

Ok, I'm trying to connect up a flash movie to a VB server app using XMLSocket. I can get them to connect, and can send data from flash to the vb app fine, but whenever I send data to the flash from...

Pretty nice game! Frustrating but with a good enough hook to keep you at it.
:cool:
A few things:
- In practice mode the lives are shown as "null". Maybe a better idea to set it to "" or...

When you're a Spurs supporter you're enthusiasm for football soon get's diminished. :)

Have got around it by using a <*font*> tag in the htmlText and not using the embedFonts property, but this is still not the ideal solution. Any more ideas would be much appreciated.

That's for sure. Will be surprised if it's not an England or All Black title tho. Australia just don't seem to have the legs these days ...

Not round here they're not, what with England being world no 1 and all ... :D

OK, here's the problem:

I want to create paragraphs in a flash movie using dynamic textfields, with HTML formatting. It mostly does the job, but when I set the Textfields to embedFonts = true (so...

Well if your're doing it locally the cleanest solution would be to forget ASP altogether and write a simple server app in VB, that you connect to via a TCP/IP socket (using XMLSocket in the flash...

No, don't listen to them! They speak the devil's tongue!

ASP! ASP! ASP!

and a few more !!!!!'s for good measure. :D

tho to be fair have never used phpMYAdmin

Has anyone developed a decent interface for MySQL yet? bleugh.

I hate to promote Microsoft but if you are looking to develop a small scale back-end for a game using polling, and you have little...

Maybe exact was too optimistic a word. I just trace back the vector (i px at a time I think) from the hit point until there is no hit, therefore providing a reasonable estimate of where the edge is....

for my worms engine (which I haven't worked on for a while!) I am attempting to use a system where I work out the actual point of collision from the vector then produce two parallel vectors either...

what I meant was:



MY_CLASS = function (p) {
this.parent = p;
this.mc = this.parent.attachMovie("mc_title", "new_name", depth);
// create a reference to parent class
this.mc.base =...

Avoid using references to _root in classes as it limits the scope of that class. As for accessing methods and properites in a class from an MC, include a reference back to the class object from the...

Beautiful. All those little touches really absorb you. Ran a bit slow on my 450 but I did have quite a few other apps open as well.

Sort out the load screen and finish screen - i.e. make look as...

There's a few ;)

Can you give an example of a project and what kind of turn around you'd expect?

What script you use depends on your hosting, but if you have a choice ASP (my choice) is said to be a lot easier to pick up than PHP and JSP (although less portable) and linking it to an Access...

Is there really much difference between having multiple enterframe handlers with the code split and having one such handler with all the code? I did a test a while back that showed that multiple...

Now I'm disappointed, I thought Tizer was designing a racing game for a Bondage-Sado-Masochism site. Could have been really interesting ... :D

... that has absolutely nothing to do with games (apologies) but check it out anyway. ;)

using code:

onClipEvent(load)
{
x=150;
y=150;
d = 1
}

Created a small isometric type rpg as a development project for work a few years ago. The story's pants and the code a complete mess but it worked, albeit with a few creases left to sort out.
...

OK, how about this for capturing combos:


onClipEvent(load)
{
cycleRate = 3
cycle = 0
keyCatch = new Array()
}
