I'm very new to AS3, slowly crawling my way over from AS2. Starting from a central square Sprite, I want to randomly add squares to any of the available sides, as per this handy diagram: The basic code I've scratched up is below, which just tweens out three squares from the central square. I'd like each newly-created square to potentially spit out up to two squares at a time, if two free sides are available.

I used to use Mochi Leaderbords before starting coding Adobe Air games for iPhone and Android. As the Mochi API doesn't have mobile support I had to find something else and found Playtomic. Playtomic is great and easy to use, BUT it's constantly down My players are complaing on how often the highscore server is down. For me it's like 6/10 times I try to view scores that it doesn't show.alternative free highscore system that works with Adobe Air for mobile?

I have this game, and some levels have a moving square as the player, you move the square with your arrow keys.... I want to have an enemy square that chases the player square.... They only chased mario when you didn't look at them? Kinda like that...... but in this regards:
I only want the enemy square to chase the player square when the player square moves.... soo say the player square moves 5 pixels per movement (know how to do all that), I want the enemy square to move when the player square moves..... towards the player square at like 7 pixels per movement..... so eventually you won't be able to avoid the enemy square....
I was goofing around with more a/s and was trying to grow a bar using _height and a random value. However, it seems to grow from the center, and I'd like it's x or y value to be fixed.It is basically a vertical bar. I want the bottom to stay fixed, so the bar will grow up.While we're at it.. I'd also like to figure how to show it "growing" progressively.. I tried a while(condition
View 4 RepliesI made a 3d box using flash cs4 (ive made one using imported images as the sides and another one using vector siding made in flash) Both times, when ive finished the box and rotate it, sides will dissapear then reappear, depending on where the box was in its rotation. For instance, when you look at it dead on, the front side seems opaque, but when i start rotating it, the fron side, at certain angles, becomes transparent and you can actually see INSIDE the box thru the wall, then as it moves it becomes solid again. I am trying to make a presentation for work of a package, rotating 360 degrees on its y axis, but keep getting these odd disapearing sides.
View 1 RepliesI"m trying to reload all the sides of cube on the fly. I'm using an example I found on here and just modifying it. I've tried a couple different ways, but it seems each time after I load the material it will no longer spin how initial one did and leftovers of the old one remain and keep spinning. This is my first time playing with papervision so I'm sure it's somehting simple I'm doing wrong. I've attached the .fla file, it's saved for CS5

So I create a points cloud using no 3d engines but one baked into flash:

so its a wary simple code. how to make my points have 2 sides or be always face to wiever?
I have a skin class whose host component is a Toggle Button. I need to be able to add a border around it but only on the top, left, and right sides, As I understand it you have to the: <s:Line> component. So I added:
<s:Line left="0" top="0" right="0">
<s:stroke>
<s:LinearGradientStroke rotation="180" weight="2" caps="square">[code].....
This worked for the top line , But I can't seem to get the left and right lines. I tried: this for the left side line, but it did not work (no line showed up):
<s:Line left="0" top="0">
<s:stroke>
<s:LinearGradientStroke rotation="90" weight="2" caps="square">[code]....
How can I achieve the 3 Lines around the button?
I got goal to achieve, 3d cube manipulated with mouse with gradient filling on each wall.
I found some source codes coresponding to gradients and 3d rotating cube but here is the problem:
When i put these two things together the effect looks like the cube was a wireframe with transparency to some gradient background hidden behind the first plane solid black background. Gradient always stays still.
Method which rotates/displays cube got at input three parameters rotx .roty, rotz i'd like to make use of it and apply it to gradients displayed on each side. gradient got own matrix but i don't have a clue how and when manipulate this gradient to get desired effect - i mean transform/rotate gradient in way ro look like it is painted on side of cube and tranform along to it 3d position.
here is source for gradient [URL]

View 1 RepliesIf you have an image whose sides are even for example 48 x 24 you may do this and you are just fine:
matrix.translate(-24, -12);
matrix.rotate(Math.PI);
matrix.translate(24, 12);
But if you have an image of size something like 49 x 25, then there is a problem with those odd pixels, how to compute when and where to add or remove those odd pixels so image gets allways perfectly rotated?

I have two rectangles and I want to draw a Line between them.The problem is as follows: I need to select which sides to draw between.What I remember of the algorithm is that you start by drawing a imagined line between the centres of the two rectangles. From that it is possible to calculate which sides are intersected by this line. Chose these sides as start and end for the actual line.

View 3 RepliesI have a cube and the buttons are meant to trigger an animation to view the different sides of the cube. For optimising and swf hosting sake I want to use one animation on the frames of the timeline but for multiple buttons. e.g. button 1 goes to the start of the animation, then at the end, the action goes to the frame 2. if button 2 was pressed to go to the start of the same animation then at the end, the action goes to frame 3 etc. Does anyone have any thoughts on how this should be done?

I'm trying to create a function that draws a polygon with two parameters that are: number of sides and length of sides. You would input a number for side length and a number for the number of sides. Then it would draw the side length, then turn at a angle based on the number of sides, then draw side length again... until it has finished drawing the polygon based on the number of sides that were put in.

I have a stand alone projector file that I am working with. I am trying to figure out how to position certain elements at the top, bottom and sides of the frame so that when the projector is viewed on different machines those elements will remain in the same position.
The file I am working with will be full screen and I have figured that part out. But I need to create a navbar for the top and another bar at the bottom of the screen. If you look at the drawingart site and you resize the browser all the elements stay the same size too. I need to achieve this effect as I am creating this file to work on all size screens.
