ActionScript 3.0 :: How To Turn Polys Into Triangles

Mar 15, 2012

At first I thought making tringles out of Polys was an easy concept. Considering I start with a quad of ABCD then I could convert this to two triangles of ABC and ADC, which is easy. However an alternate answer is BCD and BAD. The real differnce between the two outputs is exacerbrated when I now calculate the Normals for the two new faces. Also in some cases the edges break against the UV texture map in an undesirable way. Obviously in choosing the output faces I should be choosing the method as well that doesnt produce highly acute angles above all else. Unfortuantely I also have a number of pentagons and hexagons to render as well.

Game Engine :: Flash Multiplayer Turn By Turn?

Oct 7, 2011

I'll start off by saying I'm a newbie, just putting that out there. How do you make a turn by turn multiplayer flash game? I don't know if an engine is made in AS3, PHP, Javascript, or whatever,I made my game already, it's just that it isn'tmultiplayer yet. Basically, there are lines, and each player crosses out a number of lines, and the last player to cross out a line is the loser. I want it where one user crosses out some lines, then presses End Turn, then the other does their turn and then presses End Turn to allow the other player to move his cursor. But how can I get both players to see the same frame and only have one player have the ability to move the cursor during a turn? Is there some easily adaptable multiplayer engine for flash for newbies out there

ActionScript 3.0 :: Z-sort Triangles For A 3D Engine?

Sep 18, 2010

I'm building a small 3D engine for a game I'm working on. I've got my basics sorted: textured triangles with backface culling. However depth sorting is proving to be a difficult problem.I'm calculating the face Z by averaging out the 3 points that make up the triangular face. The longer faces sometimes overlap the smaller faces since they have a larger Z value and therefore rise up in the depth sorted display list.Is there a way I can use the area of the polygon to influence the depth sorting in any way? Or are there algorithms to accurately detect which triangle is above which triangle?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Increasing Time To Draw 10,000 Triangles

Nov 2, 2009

This is a test program to measure the time it takes Flash to draw a triangle 10,000 times. The app (code below) calls runTimeTest() every N seconds which draws the triangle 10,000 times. Now for the "interesting" part: each call takes increasingly more processor until after about the 6th or 7th call it goes to "infinity" (see screen shot of TaskManager) Weird bug or explainable??

Actionscript 3 :: 3d Intersections Of Triangles Algorithm - Displaying The Top Most Plane?

Jul 30, 2011

I am trying to calculate the top most intersection of an arbitrary number of planes, with no joy! I am using actionscript, but just need find an algorithm that i can implement.

Problem:


consider 3 vertical axis.The user enters 3 points for each triangle/plane such that the points of the triangle lie on one of the axis.The user can enter an arbitrary number of triangles I need to find the topmost layer of these triangles and display it on the screen as well as the coordinates of interection.


Here is a picture to clarify what I mean with 2 triangles:



However, when we allow for more than 2 triangles, I get awkward lines of intersection.

ActionScript 3.0 :: How To Turn Off Sound Only

Oct 23, 2011

How do you turn off the sound in a game only? I ask because I have two buttons in my settings: turn music on/off and sound on/off. turning music on and off is really easy because it uses a specific sound channel. But How do you turn off the volume the sound only (e.g. music is still playing but not the sound of the game)?

When I mute the sound via SoundMixer.soundtransform you can't hear anything so that's not what I wanted to have. In my game all sounds are thrown into an array. My first idea was that I go through all sounds listed in the array and turn off the volume but that's not working.

Code:
//not working
private var sounds:Array;
private var soundChannels:Array = [];

Turn On Logging / Debugging?

Nov 25, 2011

I know virtually nothing about Flash so I'm kind of casting about in the dark.

I have the misfortune of being a BT customer, and whilst I have reasonable bandwidth (can view streaming high res video fine) I always have problems listening to radio programmes from the BBC. I think it could be buffering due to traffic shaping, or it could be the Flash applet used to play the content, or something else.

Is it possible to bring up some kind of debugging console, or view some kind of error log to see if there is some diagnostic information that could be useful in finding the problem?

ActionScript 2.0 :: CS4 - Button To Turn On AND Off?

Jun 3, 2010

I was just wondering if there's a way to write code for a button so it will, e.g., make a movie clip visible with one click, then hide it with a second click?what I usually do is give the mc two frames, so on click one it goes to frame 2 while it changes the visibility or alpha, and on frame 2 sends it back to frame 1 while changing the mc back. But I would like the flexibility of doing it on the fly with code rather than have to fiddle with each mc.I tried doing it yesterday with an if/else if statement, like, "if alpha is 0, change it to 100, else if alpha is 100, change it to 0" but couldn't get it to work. But if that's the way to go I'll keep playing with it.
