We eventually got in touch with their CEO, who gave us a copy of 2.0.7 which fixes the Flash 10 problem. Their support is shocking though, so as we've since found more bugs I'm just going to write...

Hi,

Desperately looking for a replacement for Wimpy's Rave player, as it doesn't work with Flash 10 (there's a new version announced on their web site, but the download is still the previous...

You can't do that. I can't think why you'd want to.

If I'm right in thinking, you're after a single object reference that can be accessed by lots of objects. If you make that object reference...

In AS3 (and most other recent languages) pointers are called References. When you create an object, you're given a reference (pointer) to it. You can then pass this to other objects, assign it to...

Artists :)

Hi,

I'm an industry "veteran", with over 25 years' experience of writing games and application for all sorts of devices and platforms.

I've written or produced over 100 games, ranging from...

Yeah kids can't do anything these days, parents are so paranoid there's a Gary Glitter on every street corner. I blame the media.

Anyway, things I used to do, before I was 12 and I started making...

Cool :)

*cough* Hackintosh *cough*

Have you edited the fla on a mac, and trying to export on a PC? (or the other way round) - I had the same problem a couple of times, and I either re-edited it on the Mac, or redid the whole thing...

I left my iBook open overnight on my desk, when I went back the following morning there was a faint burning smell.

The cat had piddled in the keyboard.

One dead iBook.

So never leave your...

I think the problem is that you're adding a new child every time you click the mouse - eventually the whole thing will grind to a halt. You need some way of cleaning up redundant children once the...

Had a little tinker with Flash 10 this morning, to see if it could speed up a particularly heavy duty 2D game I converted a while back.

The details and game are linked below, but basically the...

Yes, my favourite was "we'd like a rip off of Sim City, in three weeks, for $500".

And chumps bid on it too.

You can, but my experience of outsourcing to people like that has been that it's a complete waste of time and effort. Last time I tried anything like that was a few years ago - perhaps the quality...

I think part of the problem is that Flash isn't seen as "proper" games programming by games developers. I know because up until a year ago I had the same view myself.

There's a shift happening,...

Just to add to what Ray's put, the app is about 300x500 and is transparent. It also has a lot of semi transparencies and animation. On my machine it steals about 10-12% of the processor, but the same...

Thanks :)

It will also be available on gimme5games.com when it's officially released.

You have to sign into Facebook, yes - Facebook won't let you into any of its site without a login.

Yeah, it's a common complaint.

I think his games are quite Marmite - you either get it, or you don't.

The Flash version has about a tenth of the particle effects of the original, so it's not as...

I'm just putting the finishing touches to gimme5games.com's first facebook game.

It's a Flash conversion of a classic shoot em up game by Jeff Minter, called Gridrunner++. A few years ago I...

Hey if the budget has been approved, you're about to embark on a paid-for rollercoaster ride you'll get lots of experience from!

And I'm sure there'll be people on here, j2meforums.com and the...

Very pretty. But what's the point? :S

I've not looked into how many cldc 1.1 devices there are out there, but then I don't use FP anyway. I'd look into how fast FP operations are on these devices, and how much performance varies between...

If anything I understated it. Blobbit Dash has 28 different builds, and that doesn't cover all the handsets that the big publishers cover. And that's just J2ME for Europe - no BREW, imode, Sprint,...
