I'm working on a tile based game and I want to create a class file that will hold all of my level design arrays. it seems silly to make this class extend MovieClip so i was wondering what a good class would be to have it extend. I want to call the class file up when loading a level and have it send the array to my tilesetter function in my game engine.

I'm trying to create a game and have come across something that I have never really played with and am not sure if it is what I need to use in this instance or if it's as powerful of a resource as I am hoping.I have a movieClip that is an animated man. I can move him around my stage by clicking on him and then clicking where I want him to go. But I'm eventually going to need to store information about him. Such as his x and y position on the stage, attributes about him that are custom to my game.Real Quick: The man represents an army and when the user clicks on him, I want to display things like, Military Units in this army, number of men remaining in each unit, experience and so on. If you have ever played any of the "Total War" games you will know what I'm talking about.

View 5 RepliesI'm developing a Flex app which is connected to a webservice - but I'm curious about what is generally best practice for handling the data locally. My webservice provides fairly small XML docs containing all the details about a certain object - is it considered better to parse that XML into objects for use in my UI, or just store the XML and access it directlyMy instincts say the former, though I'm sure doing a lot of parsing / encoding XML objects that I'm wondering if I shouldn't just add and remove elements when needed.

here's the thing, i need to store different values in a 2d array (or something conceptually similar). The idea is to create a 2d map with tiles and the array would save the ID of every tile in the map. I'm trying to create something mildly efficient, specially because i need to save some memory usage for later use (it has to do with AI) and it must run on a low end PC, but simply creating an array seems to be a waste of space since i only have about 50 different IDs at any given map.i thought about creating a 2d array of 8bit chars would be sufficient, but that's out of the question with actionscript 3, it doesn't have 8bit char data type.
View 1 RepliesWhat way of reading and storing data is fastest for AS3. For debugging right now it is just reading the raw XML, but I suspect it would be faster if I made them into nested arrays. Would parsing the XML into nested arrays to be read later be the most efficient method?, or is there a better way to read lots of data?

I was hoping for some guidelines on the general best practice for storing data from an XML document. When all is said and done, my whole flash site will be powered by XML, so I want to make sure it is organized properly. Usually what I do is parse the XML, and store all the different sets of data in arrays, but I'm sure there's a better way to do it. I'm no expert though, so I need something fairly straightforward. Here's my initial setup:
var myXML:XML;
var myLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
myLoader.load(new URLRequest("xml/presentation.xml"));
myLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, processXML);

I am a Flex newbie and I'm developing a Flex application that needs to talk to an AMF server in order to authenticate the user.Where should I store the server URL? I don't want to hardcode it in the source code, but the URL should be fixed at compile time, because when I compile the app it should be tied to a specific server.

View 1 RepliesKnow how to we store data for flash application? As im not using any server-side script, it is not possible to connect to database right? 2 things i managed to found by google it are SharedObject and XML. But later i found that it is not possible to modify data in XML using flash without any server-side script. For sharedobject, it seems not possible if i want to store the information of a list of users, as the instance of shared object can only hold the latest data.

How fast can I draw a bitmap? (60 htz = 60 fps right? That's what I need)Does player's visual stay in sync with the refresh rate of the monitor? I mean if I had multiple threads running in the backround but Flashplayer's priority to High would it not be interrupted (choppy)?
Do event listeners work when the user's focus is on another application? (say voice chat for example. Hit a key and BOOM. You speak. But if the user is tapped out would it pick up?

View 6 RepliesI have a bunch of objects that i add to an array.Each of these objects know of their position in the array.Each of these objects can remove themselves from the array with the slice command.example would be great, was thinking something along the lines of hashtable, but couldent find one in the docs.Speed is of importance. The objects are entities in a game im making, so looping through the entire array to find themselves is not an option.
