How could I turn this into a usable "for" loop? I don't know quite how they work. I feel like I could optimize a lot of my code using for loops.
Here's my example:
ActionScript Code:
var myXML:XML = new XML();
myXML.ignoreWhite = true;
myXML.onLoad = function(success)

I am trying to create a turn base board game. It has four player and out the the four players one is human and the rest are cpu's. The players are number 1,2..4. In the beginning of the game it ask's the user to which player will be the human player. A random number generator function picks a random number between 1-4 and that number player will go first.
There is a while loop that controls the game play something like:
var isNotEndofGame:Boolean = true;
var human:Number; //the user inputs this number.
var aPlayer:Number = getRandomNumber(1,4); //players: 1, 2, 3, 4
while(isNotEndofGame) {
if(aPlayer==human) doHumanMove();
else doCpuMove();
This reset's the player so they can keep on playing until game ends.
if(aPlayer==4) aPlayer = 1;
}
inside function doCpuMove() and doHumanMove() isNotEndofGame will become false when the game objective is met.
The problem I am having is when its the human players turn I want the loop to pause or wait so that the human player can do some interaction such as click a button or drag a movieClip. I tried adding adding mouseclick event listeners and timer neither worked.
okay here's my code
Code:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
for (z; z<4; z++) {[code]....
how do you turn the s[z] into something like s1 - s2 or s3 ? i just want different movie clip names for each loop..
I'll start off by saying I'm a newbie, just putting that out there. How do you make a turn by turn multiplayer flash game? I don't know if an engine is made in AS3, PHP, Javascript, or whatever,I made my game already, it's just that it isn'tmultiplayer yet. Basically, there are lines, and each player crosses out a number of lines, and the last player to cross out a line is the loser. I want it where one user crosses out some lines, then presses End Turn, then the other does their turn and then presses End Turn to allow the other player to move his cursor. But how can I get both players to see the same frame and only have one player have the ability to move the cursor during a turn? Is there some easily adaptable multiplayer engine for flash for newbies out there

View 1 RepliesIs there any way to turn off the autodocking panels. I just want my panels to be free floating and not stick together. The way they dock and stick together is the worst.
View 2 RepliesHow do you turn off the sound in a game only? I ask because I have two buttons in my settings: turn music on/off and sound on/off. turning music on and off is really easy because it uses a specific sound channel. But How do you turn off the volume the sound only (e.g. music is still playing but not the sound of the game)?
When I mute the sound via SoundMixer.soundtransform you can't hear anything so that's not what I wanted to have. In my game all sounds are thrown into an array. My first idea was that I go through all sounds listed in the array and turn off the volume but that's not working.
Code:
//not working
private var sounds:Array;
private var soundChannels:Array = [];

How do you turn a date of bith into months. im doing this:
var dobDate: Date = child.CHILD_DOB; //10th Feb 2008var daysSince:uint = Math.floor((nowDate.time - dobDate.time) / DateTime.DAY); var monthsSince:uint = Math.floor( daysSince / AppConst.DAYS_IN_MONTH);
trace(daysSince) //603 - correct
trace(monthsSince) //20 - incorrect (it should be 19)

AppConst.DAYS_IN_MONTH = 30
DateTime.DAY = 86400000

View 4 RepliesI know virtually nothing about Flash so I'm kind of casting about in the dark.
I have the misfortune of being a BT customer, and whilst I have reasonable bandwidth (can view streaming high res video fine) I always have problems listening to radio programmes from the BBC. I think it could be buffering due to traffic shaping, or it could be the Flash applet used to play the content, or something else.
Is it possible to bring up some kind of debugging console, or view some kind of error log to see if there is some diagnostic information that could be useful in finding the problem?

View 3 RepliesI know how to turn music on/off but I now want to find out how to do the following. On 50cent.com, you can select from a variety of songs, then play the one you wish. I want to know how to do that, with the buttons changing the songs, then being able to press play, and stop. Could someone tell me how to do this, or redirect me to a tutorial that will teach me. I have flash mx, so you could post a flash mx tutorial if you wish. Another example is shown on West49.com, but I dont need to know how to open the playlist option they have. Just a simple left and right button changing the songs, thena a play and a stop button.

How do I turn a value into something i can use without the "-" negative value if there is one.
I have an "imageLoaderHost" movieclip and I need it's x position to be usable wherever its at. for instance:
if imageLoaderHost is at -1258(x position), I need "b1" to go to 1258 (without the "-" as you can see).
I was just wondering if there's a way to write code for a button so it will, e.g., make a movie clip visible with one click, then hide it with a second click?what I usually do is give the mc two frames, so on click one it goes to frame 2 while it changes the visibility or alpha, and on frame 2 sends it back to frame 1 while changing the mc back. But I would like the flexibility of doing it on the fly with code rather than have to fiddle with each mc.I tried doing it yesterday with an if/else if statement, like, "if alpha is 0, change it to 100, else if alpha is 100, change it to 0" but couldn't get it to work. But if that's the way to go I'll keep playing with it.

I just upgraded to CS4. I'm working with sprites and using the properties of the images I've turned off smoothing to get that retro gaming feel. However, when viewing the sprites on the stage, everything is smoothed over which makes things difficult for me to animate. When I render everything, it looks perfect, just the way I want it with smoothing off, but how do I turn off the smoothing on the stage?

View 2 RepliesI am attempting to use a loop to create text field with the loop's current value. The code looks like this:
ActionScript Code:
for (var i = 1; i<=10; i++) {
var 'nameHolder'+[i]+'_txt':TLFTextField = new TLFTextField();
'nameHolder'+[i]+'_txt'.x = 40
'nameHolder'+[i]+'_txt'.y = 40
'nameHolder'+[i]+'_txt'.text = "Hello World"
}
So essentially what it should do is create 10 text fields at 40, 40 with the text: "Hello World".
