i missed something in the Aplly of ColorTransform, but i can't see...I made a background for the menu buttons that changes depending to the container x position.the problem is that it changes the text color too, and I don't figure why... here is the code :

Would like to understand the basic process behind an ecard before I attempt to construct one!Obviously there could be the following elements:Initial web page containing a Swf (choose swf) offering a user a choise of ecards and a consisting of a series of text input fields to collect recipients and senders address and a message. With actionscript that calls a php file on the server.
Passing variables holding the card choise the card text the email from and to etc from swf to php file.The php script runs and creates a copy of a swf card, the one chosen by the user(swf1) It populates the swf copy with text from the variables set by the choose card swf.the php then sends an email to the recipient address with ? and this is where I am unclear?Does it send an attachment of the swf1 or how does it do it?
Im doing a tutorial in a book that moves a car from one end of the screen to the next by buttons.When you release a button it moves the car 10 pixels more down the X axis.The code confuses me and I want to understand it Please Help!
Here is the code:
// stop the cars traveling
stop();
// callback for onPress event on 'back' button
back_btn.onPress = function() {
// move my car -10 pix

Why does the - sign and + sign appear before the = instead of after?Is this a logic operator(-= or +?Why doesn't putting the - sign or + sign after the = work?
In a RIA application you are supposed to put as much business logic as possible outside of the RIA layers (flash/silverlight etc). What is the reason behind this? Any logic that goes into the presentation tier gets the benefit of executing faster...
Is this because the RIA technology will most likely need a face lift down the road and you will have to rewrite all the business logic?
I was given a task to make a match making game in actionscript 2, problem is, i have very little knowledge about the language (well, and how matching works in as2, what are the important codes, code emplacements, and all I am new in AS2, and i really need a lot of help with our project. :)
I plan to match images. But.. I was planning to have a sort of "Compatibility" match-up game, like,..let's say we have two batteries, one has a 50v capacity(how do u measure batteries?) then the other has a 100v capacity, then there's this battery slot that only accepts a 50v battery, then you will have to match this 50v battery to that battery slot, that's my concept for the game, sir. I hope you got what i said, sir. :D

Where I can find a complete set of Flash CS3 logical errors and what they refer to? I know Adobe has a list but for some reason it is incompelete.
View 2 RepliesI'm working on an app which will, like most apps, have a whole boat load of buisness logic, almost all of which will need to be executed both on the server and the Flash-based client And I'm trying to figure out the best (read: least complex) way to implement the rules engine.
These are the parameters of the problem:
The rules engine must both run in a web browser (ie, in Flash Player) and on the server. Duplicating the logic (eg, by writing a "server" version and a "client" version) would be an unacceptable risk. The input/output data is fairly complex, so serialization is a nontrivial problem. We are currently using AMF for all of our serialization needs, and using another protocol would add significant complexity So it should probably be avoided. It is infeasible to implement a "rules description language". Experimentation has shown that rules are sufficiently complex that any such language would need to be Turing complete Which would also add a significant amount of complexity. The rules engine will not need to make some, but not very many, service calls.
Currently, the best contenders are:
Writing the code in ActionScript, then running it on the server. In theory it's possible to start up an AVM instance, get it long-polling a gateway, then pass data back and forth that way But that seems less than ideal. Writing the code in haXe. I don't know anything about haXe's AMF support, so that could be a deal-breaker. Something involving Tamarin. Seems like a viable option, but I haven't done enough research to tell either way.
i want to develop AI car(opponent) in car race game what should be my direction to develop them with less complexity because i don't have any idea. because the player car is moving on the scrolling track plz suggest me should i have to use relative motion or way point concept but that should also be change on the scrolling track (i.e. player car movement)

View 2 RepliesThis is my problem that I have been fighting for way too long. I have a grid with some 300 boxes in it. I want these boxes to populate the grid randomly with random number of boxes populating each time.
My grid is a MC and all of the squares in it are the child of a another MC. All squares are named 1-300 and as you can see in the array, I am testing just 18 right now. I am hoping that it is possible to do what I want to do with an array because I think it would save me a lot of time and save computers a lot of processor juice.
I have been able to get the setProperty to affect the squares that the array points to, but it won't move on to any other squares. Or it will make the entire MC invisible.
CODE for frame 1:
//This code should wipe the grid clean
Boxes = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18];

I'm builiding some sort of data portfolio in a section of a website. The method i'm using is the next one:
- Load an XML with all the data
- Call a function to build the portfolio.
- Use a "for" within said function to place all of the images at their respective positions
So, what I'm trying to achieve is to place the all of the nodes at the same time on and off screen following the next pattern:

@ 1) I have a big problem with Math.random logic in the animation on the top of this website ( danceacademy.cz ). If you leave it for lets say 3 minutes it'll start breaking (see for yourself please).

In a game I'm working on, I'm using the ColorTransform class to the turn the 'enemies' red as they fall off the screen after they've been hit by one of the player's 'missles' with the following [code]...
Can I somehow undo the ColorTransform to an enemy once it has been applied, or does he have to stay monochromatic thereafter?
I often see very different implementations of the Model View Controller Pattern, and completely understand that you should adapt and use what fits your needs the best, but I was wondering what would be the advantages/disadvantages/best practice of keeping simple game logic in ether the controller or model? In essence which is the correct way I should be doing this? for this simple example the player receives damage and I have listed three possible ways of dealing with it:
[Code]...
I want to be able to reuse my existing controller logic regardless of whether a request has been sent from a Flex client (using BlazeDS + Spring at the backend), or as a simple HTTP POST/GET request. For simple cases, things work OK, however, there are some occasions when I need to access some session attributes. At first, I almost exclusively used the FlexContext class, but then I realized that when one sends an HTTP request, then the Flex Context is obviously undefined.
My question is, what is the best approach to abstract the session extraction logic,regardless of the type of the request. In other words, I would make a class called SessionManager, which has a method getSession. This class will make a check whether there is a Flex context, if there is, it will return the session of that context. If not, it will simply return the current HTTP session (which I assume is the same as the Flex client session, but I was not sure)
I have following itemrenderer

My question is Should above logic go in updtaeDisplayList or remain in set data() itself. The output is smae from both. Whats the performance impact difference if we consider it from lifecycle perspective.(The heavy computations should be pushed towards the end of the frame rendering)
what i want to do is display a set of items by 10, so clicking next_btn shows the next 10 items and also adds 10 items to the start_count var so that the next set starts at the first count (ie 21,31, 41..). counting seems to work fine even if the limit_count var is 54, which shows only 51,52,53,54.
The problem is the backward counting, the operation looks normal but the logic is wrong, when i click the prev_btn the set is repeated (ex. click next appears 1-10, click next again shows 21-30, click prev shows 21-30).I've attached the code below so that you can see what i mean. I think my logic seems wrong somewhere along the code.
Code:
var limit_count = 54;
var start_count = 1;
var end_count = 0;[code].......
I need to display my content in groups of 9 (3 rows, 3 columns). The content is listed in an XML doc. I load my XML and then (here's where I would like your thoughts):
1. I will create a loop to assign an int. for each XML sibling (the content that will be displayed).
2. I will create an empty MC for each int.
3. Display each int.'s corresponding content into the MCs.
4. Display each MC on the stage.
** displaying my MCs on the stage in 3 rows and 3 columns is also confusing me... but this is another thread for later.

I'm trying to change the background color of my control panel but NOT the buttons using the function ColorTransform.
I have a feeling I'm doing something really silly so can someone please explain to me what I'm doing wrong here? Using the below code nothing happens...but if I change the line in bold to:
controlPanel.transform.colorTransform = cp;
Then the whole control panel does change colour! Here's the code...
var cp:ColorTransform = new ColorTransform(); var controlPanelColor:uint = config.controlPanelColor; var red_controlPanel:Number = (controlPanelColor & 0xFF0000) >> 16; var green_controlPanel:Number = (controlPanelColor & 0x00FF00) >> 8; var blue_controlPanel:Number = controlPanelColor & 0x0000FF; cp.redMultiplier =

I've got a class that I'm using to set a menu button. the class has a rollover and roll out state, and on init of the class i set a color transform to set some colors in that button since i'm reusing five of these so i thought it'd be best to do it in a class and just reuse one movieclip.
anyway, when i roll over the clip for the first time, it works fine and the proper color shows, as soon as the roll out is initiated, the color switches back to my original color that i just used as a dummy color, and from there on out it won't show the proper color in that clip anymore. it's really odd to say the least.
