I was unable to find any good tutorials or hints on terrain scrollers that isn't random.. like a huge world, and a map that points where on the map you are.
View 4 RepliesHowever as a programmer it's kind of important that I learn the language. Now, I know about myself that I won't learn anything if I read guides or try to learn the functions. I need tutorials to learn, in my opinion the best way to learn is to actually make stuff.So I was wondering, can anyone point me to a few tutorials for beginners?
View 2 RepliesI've recently become very interested in learning how to implement various audio filters in AS3. By intuitive guessing (and inspired by capacitors), I've managed to create what seems to be a 1st order high-pass filter, but I have no idea how to set its frequency (or Q) in a controlled way.

View 1 RepliesI have a site that plays either .mp3 or .flv files depending on what is selected from the menu. Menu loads in from xml. I get "unable to make connection with server or unable to find flv on server" when I try to play the video. But the video and audio files are all in the same directory and the mp3 files play fine. I think I'm having a problem with the setMedia command. Here's the code that loads the video and audio files.

Looking for a programming book that is in tutorial approach. Example this chapter teaches you how to do a login form. In the second chapter it teaches you how to integrate the login for to another app.Basically I'm looking for a book that teaches you real working application rather than abstract ideas. Programming language I have in mind is Adobe Air/Flex, Visual Basic. Functions I have in mind should at least cover Drag and Drops, Integration to a web form (form entry) and customizable interfaces.The languages i had in mind isn't fix. If you know a programming platform that has little code or easy to learn but still be able to develop a cool application.

C:alexflashportfolioimagesDualGallery.as, Line 15001: The name of package 'portfolio.images' does not reflect the location of this file. Please change the package definition's name inside this file, or move the file. C:alexflashportfolioimagesDualGallery.as
My class file is located here: C:alexflashportfolioimagesDualGallery.as
My class file is defined as:
package portfolio.images
{.....
My FLA is importing it as :
import portfolio.images.DualGallery;
Normally I use portfolio.classes and I have no trouble. My AS3 prefs are set to the alexflash folder.
I have a App.fla file on a path and a App.as file on the same path. On the Class field I put "App" and on the ActionScript Settings Source path there is "." which means the same path of the .fla file, right? I open the App.fla file and click on the little "pencil" icon in order to edit App.as but then Flash whether tells me there's no class file associated or it opens a new ActionScript file.
So I can't do nothing , I even copied all code into the App.as , and pasted into the new ActionScript file it generates when I click the little pencil button. It still cannot find the god damned class. A little detail, I'm using Mac OS X 10.6.2. I've been working full time with flash on a Windows and that never happened to me before. That hasn't happend to me on Mac either (though I have hardly used it to do FLASH/AS).
I adopted and existing site, and am making some changes.

A seperate movieclip named page4 shows in the library to have 6 uses. On the clip are two text boxes both static and one has a movieclip button overlayed. Selecting any of the three changes the propery panel for allowing editing. However. Even though I can see the reference point (the cross) of the movieclip page4, I can find no way to get flash (CS5) to show me the properties to allow giving it an instance.

View 2 RepliesI have a WCF Service running SOAP and allowing Flex / Flash to connect to it using basicHttpBinding by using the 'Data' 'Import Web Service' option. Unfortunately when I consume and invoke this service within Flex it throws the following error...
Error: Cannot find definition for type
'http://schemas.datacontract.org/2004/07/System.Drawing::Size' at
mx.rpc.xml::XMLDecoder/decodeType()
...when using the following code...
// This will return an array of presentations
var service:PresentationAuthoring = new PresentationAuthoring();
var token:AsyncToken = service.getAllPresentationByClientId(
[code]. ..
This method returns an array of Presentation objects that are retreived by the service. At the moment there are no DataContracts and I'm allowing the POCO Presentation object to be serialised and punted out by the service that works fine. However, this class has a readonly property of the type System.Drawing.Size that derived from appropriate height and width properties. Looking through the generated code, it doesn't register a 'Size' class in the base import schema although it still seems to create a Size class.
An alternative has been to stop the derived property from being serialised using the [XmlIgnore] but that has not worked. I need a way of allowing my Flex application to communicate with my WCF service but it seems to choke on the System.Drawing.Size type and while I could change this, there are other framework types such as Point, Rectangle, etc, etc. that are utilised within the project.

I am building a Flash file that has two thumbnail scrollers, and I'm having difficulty with it. The basic way it's supposed to work is like this. I have a t-shirt, and want to put a graphic on the t-shirt. The t-shirt is already loaded with no problem. I load the thumbnail script so I can pick from available graphics to place on the t-shirt. Fine so far. Now I want to show the back of the t-shirt, and select a different image for the back.
I've tried this two different ways:
1) Have them in different layers of the same frame, so that I can hide the inactive layer without erasing the info for that layer. The problem with this is that it seems something in the second instance of the thumbnail script is overriding the ability of the first instance to work properly. As you'll see here, the thumbnails load fine either way, but you can only change the picture if you hit "flip product": [URL]
or
2) Have the front and back in different frames. This seems to work better, but now it refreshes the initial image every time it flips between the frames rather than keeping the image that had been chosen: [URL].
So basically I'm curious how I can either
1) Keep the second instance from interfering with the first if in the same frame; or
2) Disable the refreshing of the initial image.
I have this face that says something when u rollover it, in this case for example: hi kirupians!! , what I need is to have some different texts,

I'm creating a flash site, AS2, with a video as the background.I'm using a stage listener with a onResize() function to re-size and position my video according to the stage size.My problem is that now the browser will show no scroll (I assume that's because it "thinks" there is no content outside of the browser), but I want it, at a certain minimum size to stop resizing the video, and display scrollers on the browser.
View 6 Repliesfind a random number that is not equal to two specific values? ex:
1) find random number (let's say from 0 to 5)
2) check if the result is not 4 or 5
3) If it is, run the random function again and again until the condition is met.
Or maybe there's a way to set up that at once (find random number that is not equal to 4 or 5).
I'm doing a project at the moment where I am creating a side scrolling platformer in AS3. Currently I have:
-The "Character' which is a ball that can be controlled using the arrow keys and has bounce, friction, gravity etc.
-A scrolling system, the character can move freely within an invisible inner boundary, once the character leaves this boundary the background will scroll to compensate.
The thing I am having issues with is creating collision detection between the "Character" and the "Background.Ground" so that the character can move along the shape of the Ground movieclip within the background movieclip.
