I have a problem that bugging me and hindering me from advancing to next part of the game. I'm very much behind schedule because of these weird behavior. (Well I blame my ignorance for not properly coding them)
I'm trying to do a simple click-and-match game where there are 18 items to flip but only 10 items (5 pairs) are the valid answer. The problem lies with this part:

Are there a good overview/comparison of Flash-authoring tools somewhere online?
By "Flash-authoring tools" I mean "Flash Builder vs. OpenLaszlo vs whatever", not Silverlight or JavaFX.
I am currently digging into the whole Flash 3D stuff and I am quite unsure which engine I should use. I really prefer haXe for development but ActionScript 3 is also fine.My current candidates are:
Papervision3D
Alternativa3D
Sandy 3D (only engine with native haXe version)
Away3D
I want to create a photo browser web widget that can be embedded in a web page (e.g alice's blog) but I am not sure whether I should go the flash or javascript route. Flickr went with a flash based widget. Why would they do it in flash over javascript? why would you chose js based widget over flash.

View 1 RepliesI have a puzzle game, in which the user can define how many pieces will the puzzle have. There are some problems in the entry validation. I pass the data in a custom event, and then check if they are numbers, if they're not, then go with the default values.
I'm getting this warning: Warning: 1098: Illogical comparison with NaN. This statement always evaluates to false.
It turns out the warning is right, even despite the traces, which (when I input letters instead of numbers), show both variables as NaN.
Code:
private function initGame(e:MenuEvent):void
{
game = new Game();
game.addEventListener(GameEvent.OVER, onGameOver, false, 0, true);

I've been trying to compare two strings. One from an input text field, input_txt, and the other a variable. For some reason, even though both trace out exactly the same, it's not seeing a match.

View 1 RepliesI'm on the brink of finishing the first iteration of my first game ever o/ and of course the last item I need to complete is the hardest. I am making a simple word game, and all details aside, the task at hand is a conditional block to determine whether the word the user has entered is real, and in order to do this I need to somehow compare it to a dictionary list.
1 hour of research has quickly opened up an entire universe of data structures, open source xml documents, people willing to take my money for spell checkers, and of course RegExp which I have no experience using (but am willing, and wanting, to learn!). One of the main problems Google is giving me is the addition of the Dictionary class in AS3, which "lets you create a dynamic collection of properties, which uses strict equality (===) for key comparison on non-primitive object keys..." So finding previous literal dictionary uses is tough.
I soon found taking a dictionary txt file (118619 lines) and converting it line by line into an array takes 3 minutes on my beast of a laptop gaming rig (Asus W90), and while I knew this was a bad idea, it was a nice learning experience (to give me a gauge of processing abilities).
I am wondering whether using XML is an appropriate alternative, or if there is a way to externally access a dictionary somewhere online. Looking at the XMLList Class available I see text() and toString() methods; yet I still see heavy iterations in accessing the dictionary.
Which brings up the next point: easiest way to find a String match. I understand that comparing each word one by one would be tedious for the program, so maybe splitting up the list by letter (or maybe string length, looking at the file), or first and last letter.
I'm loading data from XML file, and in XML file Date will format like YYYY-MM-DD, e.g. 2008-05-05. So in flash when I'm using getDate() it will display date like 2008-5-5 so that in comparison of date it will not compare.... I'm not able to check 2008-05-05 to 2008-5-5.
I'm getting date from following code
var tdate= new Date();
var date_str:String = (tdate.getDate()+"-"+(tdate.getMonth()+1)+"-"+tdate.getFullYear());
For some reason, I'm having a hard time finding a recent, side-by-side comparison of the various pros and cons of the different open-source flash 3D engines, such as Papervision3D, Away3D, and Sandy3D. Specifically, I'm looking for comparisons in the areas of
ease of use (and documentation) performance (framerate with lots of polygons) stability (bugs, glitches, graphical artifacts) currency (for lack of a better word - is the project gaining or losing team and community members?)
language(s) used (is it in as2, as3, flash-player-10 as3?) features (lighting and shadows, import models and animations of various formats, click detection, collision detection)
This is reasonable, right? I don't want to essentially pick one at random, only to find myself in trouble later on. Working with papervision3D, I'm already frustrated by the documentation, or the in-name-only nature thereof - most functions only have headers listed and no descriptions of what they do. Personally, I like to be able to pour through the documentation and figure out how to do whatever I want, and I feel like I'm fumbling around in the dark, having to read the source and try to understand all the implementation details. Who's used multiple open-source flash 3D platforms?
i've been using different loaders in the past, here are the most popular:.

View 4 RepliesI'm looking for a good method to compare a single bitmap data instance against an array of stored bitmap data objects. I need to figure out how I can compare and arrive at the conclusion that the result either means that the images are of the same object/aka similar or if they are two totally different images. I tried checking threshold of the result of the compare() function but my efforts have failed so far.

I ams still experiencing some problems with ActionScript 3 and flash and I think it is because of variable scopes what I am trying to do is to make this code iterate exactly same number of times as flash does but the problem is again variable scopes here so please if you have time could you help me with converting it to c#?

XML is cool in flex, but I have an annoying problem to solve, caused by what I can imagine is a feature. You see, when you have just one tag of something, it creates an object which is not an array. But when finds more than one, it puts it on an array structure.[code]I could check the format of resObj.specifictag (to check if it is has an array) and then duplicate the code (for each case). But -even if it's calling a function- I don't think it is an elegant solution.Well, I hope someone has a good idea on this matter. (I know from experience that SO has much more C++ experts than flex, but well...)The perfect thing would be that HTTPrequest handled every tag in a consistent way (using always arrays... though I'm guessing that that would also have its drawbacks).

View 1 RepliesI am trying to create a weekly calendar. I have a 'switch' statement that shows the week dates and the name of month the week relates too. I have three functions
1. takes the pc date and converts it into the day of the year. eg between 1 and 365
2. it takes the day from 1. and assoicates it to the week number eg 1 - 52
3. functions that are associated with a previous and next button that use the current week number based on the pc date and count up and down.
This is where I have come unstuck. This is the code for my 'next' button.

function onClickNext(event:MouseEvent)

I'm making a flash company profile in the style of a website, except it won't be uploaded online.and i made each button skip to a frame that i already named
some of the buttons are skipping to the wrong frames for some reason,the ones that are not working properly have some pretty big picture files on them,could this be the reason or is it just an action script mistake?
I did a banner in flash CS3. I did 8 things and you see them one after the other one. The first time that it plays it goes on the right order but after it finished, when it normally has to start playing again, it plays in wrong order (the first then the third, the last, the second again the first, last and so on), it just does what he wants and not what I did.
