ActionScript 3.0 :: Jigsaw Development Using PS And Flash CS5
Feb 9, 2012
I am planning to develop a jigsaw puzzle, by designing the puzzle pieces in Photoshop (with each jigsaw piece on a separate layer) and then importing all PS layers into flash, to compile the game. I haven't been using AS3 for too long, but am reasonably happy with the progress I've been making and would like to take this step up in terms of complexity.
The pieces will be stored in an array (piecesAry). I want the pieces to each be registered to a Point on the playing board. For example, if there are 100 pieces in the jigsaw, each piece will have correct place in terms of a 10x10 matrix (10 rows x 10 columns). The unique Point for each piece will, I think, need to be stored in the piecesAry.
My query relates to how I am best assigning the unique Point to each individual piece. For example, to take again the example of the 100 piece jigsaw, would it be possible / effective to create an underlying 10 x 10 bitmap square grid, and have each piece of the grid assigned to an individual piece (the thinking being that the square grid can be "cut up" easier than the jigsaw once in flash).

I've been given a Flash tutorial to post to the corporate website that is an .exe file with an embedded Flash player. Users will be on IE, so I guess they would get the run/save prompt. I don't like this and I know it generally isn't done, but I need to know if it is OK to just do it. When I try to explain the security issues with executable files, eyes glaze. Is it possible that the users' system admins would be able to block the run prompt and make the user save the file? Could they block that too? The user community is hopeless, so having the embedded Flash player could be a good thing.

I am designing a website with flash video content. If I pass in the URL to a .flv file as a flash parameter to the embedded video player someone can easily extract the URL and download the flv video file. How to do I prevent this? Can someone refer me to anti-leeching techniques being used my websites like youtube.

I'm using the the Adobe ActionScript 3 SDK for Facebook Platform to get all the tagged photos of the current user. Is this possible?
I've tried this:
FacebookDesktop.api("/"+uid+"/photos",getTagedPhotosHandler);
But that only gets me the photos belonging to that user.

Does anybody use bare .SWF files as webpages? I know it's possible; it seems to work fine for me. Why would I embed a SWF inside an HTML page if it's just going to be full screen (I mean the size of the browser's normal viewable page area, not COMPLETELY fullscreen)?
Is there a lack of browser support? Or is this functionality determined by the browser's Flash plugin?

I want to have a web site which switches the web camera of users, makes a video recording and send results to my web server.Is it possible to do that? I think it should be. For example such sites as chatroulette.com starts web camera. Should it be done with the Adobe Flash technologies? Is it hard to do that?

If I load a web page full of other files, e.g. images, my browser doesn't load them all at once.I seem to remember reading that IE will only have at most 3 requests open at a time for a page. The rest will be queued.If I have a flash movie on the page which is continually making image requests, how does this affect the maximum number of downloading files in the browser?
Is this browser limit accurate, and is it generally the same across browsers? Does flash share the requests of the browser? If not, does flash have a limit and what is that limit?
For some background, I do have a flash movie that is continually loading files so there is a queue of Loaders waiting to make requests.My idea was that if there was a different request that I needed to be executed straight away I could make it jump the queue by making a javascript call and allowing the browser to make the request instead.

The top left corner works ok - I copied and pasted the code and made the minor changes. The other 3 parts of the puzzle are causing a real puzzle for me.I've checked instance names, and everything else I can think of.Is there something in the code that could prevent the other bits working properly? Some of the names aren't brilliant - I thought this would only take a few minutes to knock up!
Code:
// Drag cameron 2
a2.onPress = function() {
this.startDrag(false);

I'm trying to create a jigsaw puzzle and need to show a text when the puzzle is complete. I can't solve it. I have 12 puzzle peaces and when all of them are correct placed i need the "Congratulation" text to show. Is there a easy AC snippet telling a text to show when all peaces are in correct x and y? The puzzle peaces are buttons and have instant names as, puz1, puz2 and so on....

I know how to make a basic jigsaw but at the moment i'm trying to create a map of europe jigsaw. Unfortunately with the map taking up the majority of the room there's no space to have all the pieces on screen at once. I had a look for solutions and i found this... [URL] How would i go about making it so that only 1 piece appears on screen until you have placed it?

I am using the puzzle game sample from adobe and want to use it as part of an interactive narrative for students. However, everytime I try to go to new frame or scene the image stays with me. How do I remove or unload the puzzle frame and bitmap images so that it doesn't follow me. I am not a coder very confusing here is the entire script.

I have a simple jigsaw type puzzle - only 4 pieces at the moment. The top left corner works ok - I copied and pasted the code and made the minor changes. The other 3 parts of the puzzle are causing a real puzzle for me. I've checked instance names, and everything else I can think of.
Is there something in the code that could prevent the other bits working properly?
Code:
// Drag cameron 2
a2.onPress = function() {
this.startDrag(false);};
a2.onRelease = function() {
this.stopDrag();
// Convert the slash notation to dot notation using eval.
if (eval(this._droptarget) == b_mc) {
b_mc._visible = false;
c2._visible =true;
a2._visible =false;
change_score();
}};
The fla is attached.

My code in theory works find but for some reason things aren't doing what they're supposed to. Basically I have all my draggable puzzle pieces as movieclips; they start at specific x's and y's on the axis. You drag them to the corresponding hitbox movieclip and it pops into the other specific x and y spot on the axis (otherwise they go back to the first xy spot).
The problem is sometimes the pieces drag and drop fine, but other times when you click the mouse down, they drag, but when you let go, they don't drop! Randomly! They just follow the cursor around, til you click a few times, and then randomly it will drop and not move (when it's supposed to go back to the original xy position).

I am doing a 5 frame file that on frame 1 has 4 buttons and the following code
on (release) {
gotoAndStop(4);
} on (release) {
loadMovieNum("jigsaw.swf", 1);
}
I am happy with this as it jumps to frame 4 and loads the movie jigsaw that I done from a tutorial. The problem is I cant get it to close, I have got a button on page 4 that has the gotoAndStop(1) but it just goes to frame 1 (that's the good bit) but the jigsaw is now on frame 1 as well and I dont know how to close it.
I tried
on (release) {
gotoAndStop(1);
} on (release){
unloadMovieNum("jigsaw.swf", 1);
}
but it does nothing not even go to frame 1

I have a jigsaw puzzle that I want to add the ability to have each peice rotate. This code is based off some code I purchased. I cannot reach the company other than some generic instructions to add an event. The instruction I was given was:
public function rotateActivePiece(dir:int=1):void
Rotates the active puzzle piece (last clicked),
90 degrees, clockwise if dir>0, and counterclockwise if dir<=0.
Parametersdir:int (default = 1) - Parameter defining the direction of the rotation.
CW if pozitive, CCW if zero or negative.
I dont know what to do with this or where to add.

Does anyone know of a site where I can download temporary SWF files to use as placeholders during web development? I've searched a lot on Google and can't dig anything up like this?
Was wondering if there is something similar to what http://placehold.it is for PNGs, but just need soemthing for SWFs.
I'd like to just grab one and use it to drop into my code, so all the Flash designer has to do is just replace the temporary SWF with the one that's going to be used on the live site.

As an experienced programmer in various environments (Linux,server side web development,etc), I was recently approached with an offer to do some Actionscript development.Somehow, it seems to me that unless one is artistically or visually creative or at least has some visual talent, one's Actionscript programming skills alone will not get you very far in flash development.Can one be a superb flash developer without having to make any artistic decisions, relying on graphic artists to tell you what to do? Or, should I stick to server side coding where I know I can add real value, even excel.

I am trying to download the free Flash Media Development Server 3.5 for Mac. When I go to the download section to download this server, there are two options for me to pick, the first one is: English | Linux | 274 MB and the second is: English | Windows | 274 MB.
and so my problem is that there is no option for Mac OS and I am wondering why?? is there a way that I can download this for mac, do I have to do something with Linux?

The main top section of the site is a little Flash thing that has buttons as links to different areas of the site. All of that is well and good, but whenever I click those links, it has to reload the entire page (including the Flash app) when only the bottom part changes. This isn't really a huge issue, since everything's real small, but it's kind of annoying.I vaguely remember "fixing" this behavior using AJAX during my web programming class, but that was just straight HTML and Javascript, no Flash players to muck around with.My question is, how do I overcome having to reload the entire page when someone clicks a link from the Flash object? Is there some nice way I can call something other than getURL() to achieve this effect?
