I need to fix an swf. and image files to be a certain height from the bottom of the browser, not the top. whats the easiest way to do this? I tried creating a bottom colunm of a fixed height but the...

NOW you're starting to hit on it. Optimizing code may be the wrong term to use here, more life making the game more efficient. That could be changing all the graphics to vectors and bitmaps as need...

Thanks for the input guys.

Lol, I am not after code at all. Between GDC now and E3 this summer, I have a lot of meeting and talking points to go over, and want to get as much feedback on the directions the industry is and will...

Lol, you caught me, I just want your codes! I am also a Nigerian Prince.

No, that's a good point. I am not asking how realistic the scenario is, either, just whether or not it is desired. It is a theoretical question, not meant to be picked apart on a technical level. To...

This is obviously sarcastic, and you obviously have difficulty comprehending the things you read. I never said Squize DIDN'T optimize his code, I said he seems to hate doing it. Which if you read...

Your opinion is based on an assumption that you know why I am asking this question, not based on the actual question. The practicality of the service is irrelevant, as you are not the one performing...

I didn't ask you if you wanted to optimize people's code. I asked if you would want someone else to do it.

Please try answering the actual question that was asked. Judging by how much you seem to...

What if you could submit your code to a company, and for a small fee (say $20 per app, or some pricing by the amount of code) they would optimize your code for you? Would anyone have a use for that...

30fps

The other objects automatically spawn onEnterframe. What I want is the object that my avatar collects to explode, and the fragments from the explosion to take out the other objects. The other objects...

Both methods are fine. I think you should pick the one that best fits with the scaling of your AI. In the first one, you jump higher up in power, but less often. In the second method, your strength...

I have an explosion throw out fragments, and I have other objects being randomly generated on the map. The other objects I know alread have functioning hitTest, because they collide with my avatar....

Never mind, I got it.

Does anyone here know or know where I can find the ASnative keypress values for the W,A,S,D keys? The only one I know is for backspace:

(ASnative(800, 2)(8))


Do they even exist for the...

Now that I have a few games under my belt, I feel more comfortable tackling one of my larger projects, such as an adventure game. Does anyone know any sites with handy resources for creating...

Ok, I got it working. The problem was that the preloader I was using for some reason had me using the first 2 frames instead of just the first one. Thanks for the help, I'll send you an early link to...

Ok, so does the blank fram have to come BEFORE the rest of my code? because that seems to have fixed that problem at least. Ok I will test this and let you know, either way, thanks! You have always...

Ok, I unchecked all of the "export in first frame" and dragged everything into a blank frame, but now the preloader bar just stays on the screen and none of the elements load.

If anyone in the LA area would like to get together and try their hand at an XNA studio, let me know. Looking for at least one artist and one programmer. I have industry experience (working as an...

I have tried two different preloaders now and they both do the same thing. A blank white box lasts for about a minute, then the preloader shows up for a fraction of a second, then the game loads.

Thanks alot, putting the movie clips in containers solved all the problems. Now I just have to go back through 4,000 lines of code:yikes:

Thanks

Thanks for the info. About using containers, do I have to have a seperate container for each image or can I load everything that is going to be in that frame in the same container? I think I get what...

So I have the button issue fixed for going to a new frame (I just unload everything on the menu frame when a button is pressed) But once the game os over and it goes back to the menu frame, the code...
