Right now I have need of several 56x5 grids of very simple information (0-9) in each slot-- I am just wondering what the most space-saving/easiest way of doing this is?
I could very easily make arrays for each grid, but it would take a lot of space. In the past when I had a similar problem and a lot of time on my hands I created (by hand) png files where each pixel had a separate color based on the information in that spot. I think this is a very good space saver but is very time consuming to create..
Is there a better option? Or is there an easy way to create the png files without wasting so much time painting them by hand?
I'm currently working with the OLAPDataGrid component and got stuck at a relatively simple task: I want to style the last row of the grid differently from the rest, so my cell item renderer needs to know whether he's rendering the last row with content in the overall grid, including those rows currently not rendered because they are outside the visible grid space. AdvancedGridListData's rowIndex property only gets me the row index of the renderer relative to the range of visible grid rows, i.e. when I scroll down the grid, a data item with an index greater than 0 gets the rpw index = 0.
I need to create a simple multiplication grid where children will fill the grid. Its an empty grid at the begining, when they start the time start as well.Its a grid of 10 x 10. when they enter the last number, the grid should show what they did wrong and the time they spend. It's an idea of how it could work but if anyone has something that looks like this.
I want to make a square grid of fixed side length but varying grid number using code.That is, the number of grids should be specified by the user (say 3*3) and after pressing a button, the stage should be broken into 3*3 grids.I don't want any code, just a method on how to do it. I have tried it by using simple loops but the method just fails for no reason I can figure.
Whenever I add paddingRight to a column in the flex grid, it adds the padding to the header as well.Is anyone familiar with how I can add paddingRight just to the column and not to the header? Below is the column code where I was specifying the padding.
I really like the thumbnail gallery for its simplicity and beauty. But I would like to ad or vertical scroller (I'm unable to find it here too, maybe I'm blind, just I'm more at the end of my seeking options) or a make a grid thumbnails, that will show 2 columns of thumbs and 5 pictures in each columns, then under the 2 columns i would like to ad a sort of arrow or button that if my gallery have more then 10 pictures it will go on the next thumbnail list. I'm not looking for any extra fading effects or special movements. Just would love to have a single thumbnail grid on side, with option to have lists of thumbnails by 10 if there is more then 10 pictures or so.
I have a mx:Grid component in my flex application. But I would like to resize it by clicking and dragging in the border. This component doesn't allow doing that.I want to put a panel in each gridItem of this Grid component and resize it.
I'm building a small editor that allows users to place electrical components onto a grid so that they can see how electricity works. I have built a grid using an array and for loops and attach movieclips dynamically to that grid. What I want the moviclips to do is to look in the four spaces either side of itself i.e. up, down,left and right.I have managed to pull the grid coordinates out of the grid which enables me to tell the clip which grid space to look at but have been unable to successfully get the code to work.Here is my code:
I'm trying to code the snap to grid functionality. The dragged object should snap to the grid if the distance between the object bounds and a grid line is less than 5px. I found a way to do it if the object's rotation is 0 but it doesn't work if I rotate the object. I need a different approach. Can you point me into the right direction with the algorythm or any source code?
I am trying to create a puzzle like game (a chinese puzzle game called tangram). I am wondering what kind of functions should I use to create a "triangular" grid i.e. something similar to this ?[URL] What should I do to make the movie clips to perform the "snap to grid" effect to this grid?I have tried to draw my own grid and used the "cacheAsBitmap" function to implent it, however it doesnt seems to be working.

I'm trying to dynamically draw out an isometric grid but I'm hitting a few problems, currently I'm using a matrix transformation to get the grid to look more isometric that tile based but it has it's problems so I want to add the grid with out using the matrix transformations. currently I have..

I tried to draw it out using Sin ,Cos and Tan functions to try to set the coordinates but it didn't behave like I had expected,
I am using this script inside of a movie clip called "TILE00".loadMovie("clips.swf", slot1)Now I duplicate this movie clip usingfor(i=1;i<=1000;i++){TILE00.duplicateMovieClip("TILE0"+i, i);}Now for some reason when the movie clip duplicates, it does not keep the the file "clips.swf" loaded insideWhat happens is each copy of the movie clip loads the file all over again.This causes major lag because it has to reload the same file 1000 times!!If there any way just to keep the file loaded?It would be great if something like this was possible:This in the main timeline:loadMovie("clips.swf", holder)This inside the movie clip:loadMovie(_root.holder, slot1)So that the file only has to load once
I am trying to create a history of the actions, perhaps stored in an array, I make in flash so that I can have a button that allows the user to go back to a previous action
I'm developing an AIR application and I need to store password there so user don't have to write it everytime when he launch the application. I want to ask you if you know some way how to store the password in no plain string. I can store it in the file but everybody can read it there... Is there any way how to encrypt and then decrypt saved password?
I'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.
I'm getting back into AS after a few years, and it's taking a bit to get used to the syntax of AS 3.0.
Anyway, I don't know the answer to the following in AS 2.0, so I wonder if it's even possible.
Basically, I want to know if there is a way to call a variable, the name of which is stored in another variable.
How would I write something like "NextToDisappear.alpha = 0;" and have it interpreted as "MC4.alpha = 0" instead of giving an error message complaining that variables don't have alpha properties?
In other words, is there a way to make it interpret a variable as its contents and not as itself when on the left side of an equals sign? Similar to the difference between quotes and no quotes when working with the contents of text variables.
What I would like to know is, if someone has scored points on a game i'm creating - could that be stored as a "value" that could be displayed at the end of the game in another frame ?
Here's what I have at the moment
A dynamic box with the description and var of "score"
An action on a frame with the script:
score = 0;
A button that once clicked runs this action script (which adds to the score):
on (release) { _root.score += 100; }
Is there a way afterwards to get the total amount from "score" to be used elsewhere ?
I am new to AS3. I wanted to use attachMovieClip sort of thing in AS3. Basically I have a movieclip in library and the mc contains a textfield named "textName_txt" and I want to duplicate that movieclip with different text names. I have done it using an Array and for loop. Everything is working fine till now. But I want to trace the movieclip number when I click on the movieclips. For example, I want to trace 0 when I click on first movieclip then 1 for second movieclip etc.
We could do this easily using AS2 where we could provide an instance name for movieclips using AttachMovieClip. In AS3 I don't know how to store the value of i(for loops i). It is always tracing 3 (the last number) for i because the length of Array is 4.
I have a theoretical question about constructing a e-store in flash. There are some free ready-made shopping cart systems for flash that use PHP. Why exactly is the PHP script used? To avoid running out of stock?Im not very comfortable with PHP, so I wonder if it is possible to make a simple shopping cart system using variables. For example after pushing a button add to cart the price and quantity is added to certain vars, that can be used afterwards to send the client the bill via mail.
I would like to offer clients to choose between bill to mail and bank link. Could somebody also tell if the var system can be implemented in the bank link system with SSL security and stuff? I will hire a programmer to do the bank link system just don't want to run into unpleasent surprises when the programmer will take a look at my var system and start laughing.
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 am working in multi user chat application, in which users chat history need to save. When the user requests his chat history, respective chat history needs to retrieve.Previously, I plan to save them in a shared object. Since shared object has size limitation and also it will be saved in some encrypted form I plan to save them in a database.Now I came to know that data can be saved in a database using web service or xml socket etc...

I am currently developing a game in iOS / Android and I encounter a problem. If I am playing a game mid-way and if a person phones up, my game is still running, how is it possible to store the state of game so that I can continue to play after I put down the call?
Has anyone been successful at submitting an app to the Apple store? I created a Lion virtual machine to use the Application Loader. All I ever get is that it doesn't recognize any of my files as application files, so I can't upload the app.
