I'm trying to make a notice board online with flash cs4 and actionscript 3 but I can't find any tutorial or anything really. Is there a way to make a notice board for the web, preferably writing and reading off text files. But if this is impossible, can someone send me a link to a tutorial or somehow help me on how to create a noticeboard on the web with flash?
View 1 RepliesI need to create a "notice board" in my web page. each notice will be posted to a mysql db. I need my web page to always display the latest notice as the first notice and the rest should be below it according to the posted sequence.
1. How should I do it? (my initial thought was to pull in the data by the PRIMARY ID. But that doesn't seem to work because always when data is been posted to a mysql db it updates the next field not the previous field).[code]....
My company want to develop an online multitouch scrumboard for our scrumteams. We are still in doubt between flex and silverlight as platform for the application. (don't want to fire a hole new flex vs. silverlight discussion again) Installation rate & platform independence are not critical to us, because it's just for teammembers and only windows 7 enables multitouch events in flash or silverlight.We would like some pros/cons specifically for this project (multitouch, rich user interface, integration with backends).[code]
View 2 RepliesI have spent the last four hours trying to work this out, using a number of different tutorials and always running into roadblocks in one form or another.
I'm using Flash CS3 with Action Script 2.0 enabled.
Essentially, I want to be able to make individual buttons to play in one frame on the main timeline that turn on and off simple loops that I've made.
I have a video of a man dancing, and I want to give the user the ability to press nine buttons and activate each loop to play over the video.
- I need each loop to be able to layer - so, each button controls only it's own loop - giving the user the ability to compose the music that the dancer is moving to.
The way I though I would do this would be to make a single button for each loop, that when clicked played the loop, and then when clicked again muted that single loop, and then when clicked, played it again and so forth.
- I have the nine loops cut up and in the library, but I don't know how to program this.
Additionally, I would really prefer the loops to not be playing, and for the user to have the chance to build the piece of music around the dancer.
I want to make a simple game so that I can play against my friends at school. The school uses macs. Also if you can't make online games with flash what can I use. Also can they be 3-d if I eventually get good at making games?

I have a question concerning high-scores.So I'm running an internship at a museum right now and I have made a game that currently saves high-score data through a SharedObject. However, they would rather have it stored online so people can see their scores at home after a visit to the museum, instead of having their own personal local top-10.What is the best way to do this? I was thinking of using mySQL or something of the same sort, yet I have 0 knowledge as to how that's done
View 1 RepliesI am creating a board game and I am using Object Oriented Programming with AS3. I created a movie clip with a circle that moves across the game board. There are 18 squares and 18 frames. I have a button that gives you a value with a dice with the random number function:
public function rollDie():void
{_dieValue = Math.ceil(Math.random()*6)
this.gotoAndStop(_dieValue);}
I have a class for the dice button, die, gameboard, and the main board. I am trying to make the circle move across the board(or go to the frame in the mc) depending on what the value I get with the dice. Here is my code so far:
[Code]....
The mc instance for the gameboard is gameBoard. Also, if anyone knows how to trigger a labeled frame depending on which square the circle lands on that would be a plus.
i am trying to make a drawing board(like colouring book) where when i click and MOVE THE MOUSE it colours the object(more like a brush and not as a paint bucket)i would like to know how to colour objects individually(without coloring background) and the most IMPORTANT is there any way to detect what percentage of object had been colored(like if 100% of object coloured something happens!)

View 2 RepliesI have a flash file that passes some variables to a php script and creates a zip file of a group of jpg files. When I had all of the code in one php file everything worked fine. Now I wanted to separate out the script into two files. One php file that gets the variables and a class that would actually do the work of creating the file. However I am getting this error when I run it.

Ok, so i'm making a game using AS2 (AS3 confuses me even more than AS2) and so far it's going great, but i want it to move to the next level (or maybe a shop between levels) when all the enemies are destroyed... I have Code: Select allenemies = 15; for the amount of enemies on stage. I have Code: Select allif (explode) {this.removeMovieClip(); to get rid of the enemy and i have Code: Select allif(enemies == 0) {gotoAndPlay(3) } to take it to the next frame. I want to know how to update it so when an enemy is removed the original code of enemies = 15 gets updated, meaning when they are all gone it will go to the next frame

View 2 RepliesI have a client who wants some graphics to appear "coming onto the screen from the sides." They are flames, to be exact. She does not want them to just come in inside the "box" (stage). She wants them to appear coming in from the sides of the browser window. Is there a way to do this? That is, can you make graphics or movie clips that start off outside of the frame appear in the browser when the swf file is saved?

Is it possible to create a forum using Flash?
I'm brand new to Flash (and game programming, really), but want to learn a bit of it. My overall learning project is to create a Monopoly clone in Flash. nfortunately, I'm struggling to get over even my first hurdle-how to create the board graphically, and how then to deal with it in the code. So far, my thoughts are to break the board down into the different sizes of tiles (the normal property ones, the corner 4 and a large one for the middle section), then somehow place these all in the correct position relative to each other and keep that positioning correct as the pieces (and thus the camera view) move about the board.
Is this a good approach, or is there a better one? where I can find a tutorial specifically on creating board games in Flash (any sort really, wouldn't have to be Monopoly but just a game that has a board which tokens move across - and preferably which has to pan as well).
Also, as an aside, is there any way to have a dynamically coloured rectangle in a flash MovieClip (like you can have dynamic textboxs)? I ask because it would be useful if there was, as I could generate every property tile with just one MovieClip which took a name, a value and a colour...
I know this is a subject that gets covered a lot as i have found a ton of tutorials that show a million different ways to create a high scores board on a flash game. So I decided to go out on a limb and pick a tutorial out to try. Well I have now tried 3 different ones and have yet to get a working high scores board with my game. [URL]
That is the link to the most recent attempts to creat my high scores board. When I finished everything the way the tutorial said it seemed like everything would work and then it just didnt. After spending oh about 40 plus hours trying to make a high scores board I am getting very frustrated. My game is scripted in AS2 and I have access to mysql and can set up unlimited databases.
Is there a drawing board in Flash Professional CS 5.5 installed or an extension? I want to use it to display a text string, and the user would be able to draw above the text. For example I could display a question and the user would be able to circle the right answer. Is it possible?
View 1 RepliesI'm building a simple white board app in ActionScript 3. Most white board or painting apps in ActionScript tend to use an interval, timer, mouseMove event, or enterFrame event to track the mouse position and paint lines or brushes in between the tracked points.
What I'm trying to achieve is the nice smooth painted line that a program like Photoshop can render while painting with the brush tool. In Photoshop, no matter how fast you move the mouse around the canvas, the painted lines always end up with a nice smooth curved edge. In my app, using any of the methods mentioned prior, there is always latency between the function calls that render the brush to the stage. Thus, using any of those techniques can result in a sharp cornered line when moving the mouse very quickly in a circular manner.
This is no surprise to me, I just have no idea how I could achieve a smoother line like Photoshop's brush tool. Mind you, the brushes for my app are mostly based on shapes and do not or cannot use the drawing API to draw continues lines. In other words, graphics.curveTo() is not an option. I am also rendering the Sprites or Shapes generated by the brushes to a BitmapData instance.
I am developing a web based multi-player board game and wondering what the best language for the UI would be? Its a board game similar to Go but a lot simpler.I have two options flash or the much touted HTML5 with JS. I have to learn both though I have basic knowledge of JS.The problem with flash is I have to pay for the server component but the UI development could be easier and have a richer look and feel to it. With HTML5 + JS there is no cost involved but the UI development I feel will be clunky and not smooth. This I am not sure.
