There are were several developers on the forums who asked various questions about keyboard simulation in Flash.While waiting for Godot I have posted a quick tutorial with a working example and code for both timeline and class-based app. Just pasted the code on timeline or make class a document class.URL...
View 3 RepliesI sent an email to pom regarding a tutorial that he wrote, but the email was bounced and he hasn't replied to my PM. I have followed both of pom's tutorials that involve experiments with perspective in Flash, but I have encountered a problem while attempting to duplicate a movie clip symbol in the second tutorial ([URL]). I have a single instance of the "ball" movie clip symbol appearing at random positions. However, I cannot seem to successfully duplicate the symbol instance at random positions using the loop that pom provided:

View 1 RepliesAccording to all of the documentation I can find, the code snippets window in Flash Pro CS5 should be prepopulated with common AS3 commands but for some reason it is completely blank.I have looked through my folders and on the adobe website but haven't found any xml files that appear to be what I need. If I were a more advanced user, this probably wouldn't be a problem, but all of the documentation and tutorials I've found start by using the code snippets window with all of the codes already there. Does anyone know if there is somewhere I can retrieve the correct codes or do I have to uninstall/reinstall my Flash Software

View 1 Repliesoriginal: I really just need to figure out how to center the pictures. here is what I did I have modified the tutorial that I finished to have a bigger stage for bigger pictures. Everything is working properly but the pictures are displayed on the left side, I want to have them centered in the stage for the images, after clicking on the thumbnails, plus my images are different sizes as well. ranging from 200x410 to 744x410 but all are the same height of 410. i will post up what I am talking about at the end. I believe it is something within either the action script or the xml coding that allows the position of the image to be differently? please help here is what i am talking about[URL] Continued: Here is my coding in action script:

I know how to use Instance_name_here but what I can't work out is that in the example code snippets sometimes you can click on a link or image location that's in blue text and change it to what you want. How do I set this up myself when Creating a code snippet? Currently all my links and image locations appear in unclickable grey text instead of blue

I was wondering if anyone would be able to help me with a problem I am having. I am trying to develop a simulation of a browser in Flash, and need to have a button which allows users to be able to go back to a previous screen (e.g. another .swf file) which means I need the window to be to move between .swf files.
I have tried various methods I have found online, but none seem to be working.
i am currently making a flash "pond" with fishes in it, and i have the ability to add food pellets onto the pond, how should i make the movement of my fishes to the food x,y location ? so it will be smooth , rather than setting the x,y location of my fishes to the x,y location of the food pellets.Also is there a good place to learn how to make my fishes move by its own?Fish class

I'm trying to preload external swf files as needed and show the progress each time a file is being preloaded. It works exactly as intended when I simulate it on my desktop but not at all when uploaded on the web: first of all nothing happens up until 50% of the main movie is already loaded and then when the the attempt is being made to load additional content, some weird number displays (-214...%) instead of the percentage.

I painted my stage black and when I simply run my flash file it traced "loaded" so everything is loaded well and it builds the UI. But when I simulate by pressing ctrl+ enter twice I get a white screen and after about 10 sec. (my swf is 1mb and it simulates at 100kbs) it displays the preloader instantly at 100% and loads my UI. So my text doesn't change from 0% -> 100% but I just get 100% when everything is loaded.
I'm trying to make a realistic scrolling terrain for a game I'm making. all of the movement and collision detection is 2d, but I need to make the terrain look more real.

Try to simulate the OnPress/OnRelease aspect of earlier versions. It is working so far, but when I press the space bar, it goes around once, then stops. If you check the output, it is looping back to the enter aspect, so it looks like it is not working, but it just keeps restarting. I need to make the enter frame event not work since the keypress is already down, and only work on the first time I press it.
var spacebarKeyDown:Boolean = false;
stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, moveChar);
function moveChar(event:Event):void{
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, checkKeysDown);

I am looking to make a 100% deterministic Flash simulation (for multiplayer RTS game). So far areas that require special attention identified:

So im trying to create a simulation Earths orbit around the Sun. Before i begin coding i need to know earths real orbit lengths.Does anyone know the values of (A,B,X,Y) variables?And once i do get the values, what is the code for moving an object in an ellipse? I know i need to use cos and sin but i dont know the actual formula.
Edit: I found out that [A] is 152,098,232 km and its [B] is 147,098,290 km. I'll scale these down once i find out the [X] and [Y].
Where do I can find an example or a tutorial of a realistic simulation of a rope tied between two points? I need to make something similar to the interface of Reason, the music app.
