I need to program a timer for a typing tutorial program. It needs to go to 5 minutes. When the timer gets to 5 minutes the movie has to go to frame 13 which displays the results of the typing test.
View 1 RepliesI have created a flash program and I would like to run a second flash program from inside the first. To explain, say I am running a program that draws a circle and fills it with a color. Then, I have designed a second program that will divide a circle into sectors by entering percentages, to turn that circle into a pie chart. Is there a way to be running the "draw a circle" program and have a button that opens the "divide the circle into sectors" program in a new window and then passes information from that program to the first program. I am sure I will have to send the information from the second program to an XML file and then have the first program recieve it from the XML file (which I can do), but I don't know if I can run the second program from inside the first program.

View 6 RepliesI have a small flash that I'd like to expand upon, and basically I'm wondering if it's possible to Make a button that lets you erase things on click, rather than clearing the screen.Draw lines of different colours/thicknessHave the Flash output a code for the drawing (similar to Punk-o-Matic 1/2) and be able to put it into the Flash in a text form to have it output the picture. (Thus allowing sharing of pictures).Here's the code.
// 1. SETTING THINGS_root.createEmptyMovieClip("line",1);
// 2. EVENTS IN _ROOT:_root.onMouseDown = function(){ line.moveTo(_xmouse,_ymouse); line.lineStyle(2,0x000000,100); this.onMouseMove = function(){ line.lineTo(_xmouse,_ymouse); updateAfterEvent(); }}_root.onMouseUp = function(){ this.onMouseMove = null;}
Also see included .fla. It's very small as all it features is a default stage that you can draw on, with an Erase button that clears the screen.
I was curious if you can take an existing flash program and get it to run in Air, or do you have to recode the entire thing. I see lots of stuff on Flex to Air, but not much of anything on Flash to Air.

View 1 RepliesI am playing around with ActionScript 3 and trying to build a very simple prototype for a video game (top-down action/shooter) and realized that handling bullets is a little bit more challenging than I originally imagined.
In order to get a fairly decent "flight" of the bullet between the character and the target, I ended up using a highly modified version of Bresenham's Line Algorithm to determine the flight path of the bullet and then merely draw a tiny flash.geom.Rectangle object at the appropriate place on that "flight path" during the draw-frame stage of my application.
I haven't noticed any real problems, but I just can't imagine this being the best way to handle bullets in a Flash game. I imagine that once there are multiple enemy players on the screen and lots of bullets flying around (especially once I code in automatic weapons) that things could come grinding to a halt.
What am I missing here? I'm not really a game developer and so most of the things I'm doing I've just "made up" on the spot, but I can't figure out how to effectively handle bullets in Flash.
EDIT: As requested, here is "my" Bresenham code. I say "my" in quotes, because I basically ripped this from somewhere on the internet. My changes to the algorithm basically involve the lines at the bottom. The original implementation would find the path from player character to the target, except that every once in a while (and I wasted a little bit of time trying to figure this out but never got anywhere) it will generate the path from the target to the player. To "fix" this, I ended up just checking the first X/Y values from the path array and reversing the array if those values didn't match the X/Y values of my player character.

View 1 RepliesI have a DVD that came with a school book the book is called CompTIA A+ Guide to Managing and Maintaining Your PC. It came with a DVD that has some interactive labs on it that work thru html files and flash player. There is a master HTML file on the disk that runs the whole thing. After everything is activated with numbers and all that jazz you have a screen that lists all the labs you can do. You have to set Flash up to allow access to a folder on the DVD that holds the labs HTML files.
I have this working on my PC thru Firefox and Internet Explore. I want to be able to do this on my MacBook pro. So far i can't get it to work on Safari or Firefox or Opera on my Mac. I have set up flash the same way and if I use Finder to go directly to the chapter1_lab1.html file it works. But when i try and do it by access the master HTML file and clicking on one of the labs listed it doesn't work. Safari sits on a blank screen and Firefox gives me this error.
File not found
Firefox can't find the file at file///Volumes/LabConnection/Labs/2207012/Chapter1_Lab1/chapter1_lab1.html
What i have figured out is that on the DVD the files are listed with capitals (Chapter1_Lab1 not chapter1_lab1) If i enter this part into the address bar of Firefox ( file///Volumes/LabConnection/Labs/2207012/Chapter1_Lab1/chapter1_lab1.html) I get the same error if I change the c and l to Capitals it plays the lab. Hope this is understandable. What do I need to do to make it read the file since the master is telling to look for lower case files and for some reason my Mac won't recognize it has the same file with the upper case letters.
Specifically, I have a demo of a flash game (sort of super mario style). In it I have two types of weapon - a simple fire and big fireball. I reviewed the code in order to learn flash better [I am very new - since around monday this week].
I saw that the program has a variable that keeps track of the number of uses I have left in each weapon. I tried to review all the places this variable was used but I couldn't find where it affects the drawing onto the screen.
I even tried removing the variable declaration and then testing it - so I may find all references to the variable -- By the way any convinient way of finding all references to a variable/method/class [I am using ADOBE FLASH CS5.5]?
Also, I tried changing the variables starting value to "12" and I noticed that when I test the game, the weapon has 12 uses indeed.
So my problem:1. It seems that this variable is somehow affecting the drawing. Yet, I don't know how it does so since all the code I have found that uses this variable has nothing to do with drawing. It is all, logic, like
if(var <= 0){
var--;
} else{
return false;
}
Where is this influence coming from?get all references to a variable[like in eclipse ctrl+shift+g]?

I am creating a video program in Flash CS4 with AS3. I have a main video FLVPlayer and small FLVPlayers at the bottom(click on the small video to view in main video)... simple What I would like to do is, instead of loading the whole movie in each small FLVPlayer, I would like to load the first frame and stop loading (kinda like a first frame screen shot). Is there any way that I can start the loading process and then stop after the first frame is loaded?
