I'm new to coding in AS3 and is there way to group a couple of files in order for my to minimize the amount of checking the processor needs to do when running a game. Attached is the code. It works but I plan on adding more walls in the future and that may cause a lot of lag.

View 2 RepliesI've got an array of coins, which are called within the array coin1, coin2, coin3, coin4 etc. I'm trying to reference them to say if the character hits coin 2, then coin2 will disappear. Here's my array (so far):
ActionScript Code:
var coinArray:Array = [coin1, coin2]; //an array which contains all of the coins
And here's the script I'm working on:
ActionScript Code:
function coinCollect(evt:Event){
if (collisionTest (character, coin/*[n]*/){
var i:int = /*the number from coin[n]*/ - 1
remove coinArray[i]
}}
But I'm missing some major things, mainly how to reference which coin has been hit, and how to take the number from that coin and take 1 from it to reference it's correct position in the array? (the code in /* */ tags represents things I'm not sure on the code of).

View 2 RepliesI have a simple movie of a person - torso, arms, legs, each on a separate layer. I'm adding a walk cycle and use tweens to move the arms and legs. This works fine when I export to an swf. But when I group and try to export to a movieclip, the arms jump way up. This seems like a simple problem of adjusting coordinates, origins, etc. But I'm kind of a newbie, so does someone have a suggestion for me? How do I export to a movieclip and have it playback the same as when exporting to a swf?

Im a scrub when it comes to flash (but i gotta start somewhere) and started making a form.I made a validation on the orders email and the orders details.The purpose of the form is to get some information about trips.there are 10 rows with 4 fields.the 4 fields is a date, from, to and time textfield.
i wanna group up and validate these fields so that if you write something in "from" you have to write something in "date", "to" and "time".
How ever I want to be able to do this dynamically.
The usage in the project is to be able to represent any data from a database, with any number of possible groupings on the horizontal and vertical axis.
Could someone offer some guidance on the most efficient structure to get an XML return in order to build these kind's of pivots on the fly. All the examples I have seen are statically defined. What I would like to do is be able to have a structure for a return that could give any level of grouping and data return from a web service call.
The tool I'm building is a reporting tool, so users could drag any DB field into column or row potentially so the key thing is the ability to define and build "any structure" a user would want.

I have a flat data array that comes form a remoteobject, I want to group whatever is to be grouped, but leave single items (the ones with no common data with anything else) alone and without grouping, it's annoying to open each node only to find there's just one item inside, so there was no need to put it inside that group anyway. I can't find any reference and I don't know if getting the hierarchicaldata out of the groupingcollection and then iterate thru it would be any good, sounds like a lot of duplicate work.

Array of color id-s represents a 3D Array of values. I've represented each value with a color(Blue is 1, Red is 2 and Green is 3). So for the example the array for the image would be:
ActionScript Code:
var myColorArray:Array = [];
myColorArray = [
[0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0],

Now, I have an array of predefined shapes/objects. I'd like to replace the grouped colors with the shapes that I have. I'd like this to follow the rule of finding the largest shape first and then down to the smallest one.Now let's assume that the L shape is A, the Z shape is B, the third one is C and the last one is D. Now our new Object array would look like:
ActionScript Code:
var myObjectArray:Array = [];
myObjectArray = [
[0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0],

group items in a DataGrid by an item property, fer example:Say you have a list of products, and the products belong to categories, like, Summer products, Winter products...is there anyway to group products in a DataGrid under separate headers? IE: Winter (all winter products follow) Summer (all summer products follow). I can already order by category, but instead I want to do this:
Winter Category
1. Winter Product 1
2. Winter Product 2
3. Winter Product 3

Do it need to create a DataGrid for categories and nested DataGrids for products per Category? Or is there some built-in way of grouping within a DataGrid?

View 1 RepliesI'm not only new to the forums, but also rather new to AS 3.0, so this might be something really simple but I can't seem to figure it out Basically, what I'm trying to do it make a photogallery that's essentially a grid of thumbnails. When the user rolls over a thumbnail, I want it to grow in size just a little bit and when they click it would get much larger.Now, that part is simple, but when all of these size changes take place, I'm trying to make the other thumbnails get out of the way, instead of the usual overlapping that would occur. So my question is this:Is there some simple way to change the properties of those thumbnail MCs to avoid overlapping at all costs, while remaining on the stage? Or would I have to animate every possible combination separately on ever possible thumbnail?

I am familiar with taking in keyboard input in AS3. I was wondering if there was a way to capture and process simultaneous key presses.I don't mean when a user holds down, say, the up and left arrows at the same time and an object moves diagonally. I mean when they actually press down on the keys simultaneously, like in a video game where 2 simultaneous button presses performs a new action.Currently, I have a class that reads whenever a user presses a key and assigns it to an instance variable. Then, each frame, the class pushes the key into a storage array if the current key pressed doesn't match the last key pressed. Each key is stored for 60 frames before being dumped if it isn't processed.
View 3 RepliesI have a large block of code in frame one of a movie. It executes, then the movie progresses to frame 2 and stops.I then have buttons at frame 2 that change the value in a string variable and send the movie back to frame 1 where it executes the code with the new value and proceeds to stop in frame 2 again.How can I eliminate this use of frame 2?How do I set it up so that I just re-run the code when the variable changes?I assume I can put all my code inside a function that gets called when the variable changes.
