I'm wondering if having large peces of text commented in your code, will affect the file size of your exported file, when you put it on the net.About half of my code is commented, so removing it would reduce my file size significantly, and thus decrease loading time. or is commented code removed automatically when you export the .fla file?
View 13 RepliesDo you think its needed to comment code, unless is an API? I mean, a good code. With self explanatory variables and methods.
View 1 RepliesIn flash develop sometimes I may be commenting on my code and I actually write just one forward slash instead of two(by mistake),When I do this in flash develop the code actually turns pink(default settings), I was wondering if there was any particular use for the one slashed code commenting. Or is the pink writing just there to show that you've made a mistake?

I happen to have this real massive code for an object in my game.(please guys dont move this to the game section the problem has hardly anything to do with that) One of them is a propane tank, the other a box and the third is a barrel.(it doesnt really make much diff i just want you guys to get a better picture of whats going on)So inside of each movieclip i put in this MASSIVE code.
ActionScript Code:
onClipEvent(load) {
var right:Boolean = true;
}

it works fine but when i put in an instance name the whole thing messes up.only one of them works and all the others follow commands from the same one. so lets say if presse is true for the working on, presse will be true for all the rest. The problem still happens if i use different combinations of objects like 3 crates or 1 propane tank and 2 crates. Can someone please help me find a solution without changing the instance name. By the way '_root.hater' is the character.

I have 2 .swf files.#2 will be dynamically loading into #1.
Lets say the stage size of #1 is 600x400.
Lets say the stage size of #2 is 800x600.
Is it possible to load a larger .swf file (#2) into a smaller one (#1), and somehow see the whole thing? As in, not crop the embedded file to the dimensions of the smaller "containing" file?
using better code to reduce file size.I've just done a colour change swf for a friend who has a clothing business. Basically it just needed to change the colour of the t-shirt according to button presses.I just wanted to know if there is a better way (more code i assume) to do the colour changes? I'm looking for a really compact file size because there's a lot more to go in it yet.

View 5 RepliesI've attached a file which makes a ball move to the left when pressing the right arrow key.[code]On a Key.RIGHT it goes through a for loop. Shifting the ball 200 times 1 pixel to the left. Every iteration it tests for a hit with coordinates 100/50 (indicated by the red crosshairs). If there's no hit it moves 1 pixel to the left. If there is a hit it stops moving (no ball._x--).Funny thing is: while it eventually finds a hit, it does a final For Loop. Even though it should find a hit during that last loop when the ball is passing the crosshairs, it doesn't and moves the ball a final time 200 times 1 pixel to the left. Ending up with below image.URL...Why doesn't it find a 'hit' for that final For Loop while it's clearly passing it?
