As the title says: How do you make a vehicle shadow go over the bridge but under stay under the vehicle. here is my game: [URL]I want the shadow layer to appear above the bridge so you can see where it is.I can't change over the Layers because of course the vehicle needs to go under the bridge not over it.

Is it possible to add drop shadow to plan views of vehicles (vehicles are png images as MovieClips) such that as the vehicles change direction along roads (also png images) the shadow is always cast to north west ot the vehicle ? Buildings in the base png image have shadows but vehicles also need them so as to belong to the scene and not appear false.
Is there control over opacity and softness ?
If I were to have plan views of humans walking would the shadows follow the leg movements ?
I'm attempting to recreate the old game Asteroids, just as a little project for myself (no angry clients waiting ). I'm controlling the triangle by using KeyboardEvents but while holding down the shoot button (Space Bar) I am unable to go forward and turn left, however I have no problems going forward and turning right at the same time It feels as though the keys are becoming "sticky".

View 5 RepliesI have a moving vehicle on the stage, which should change directions according to where I click on the stage.I already made it work using this formula:var angle:Number = Math.atan2(dy,dx)*180/Math.PI+90;However, I need the car to tween to the correct angle, instead of just "jumping" to it. While this is easy enough to do, the car sometimes takes the longer turn (especially when I click in the bottom-left quarter of the stage), and it seems unnatural.
View 0 RepliesI'm able to get javascript parameters into swf with this code:
// Example from:
// www.permadi.com
function loaderComplete(myEvent:Event)
[code]...
I added the code in red to load a picture since I intend to use the parameter for a name of a jpg file to be loaded.It actually works BUT the image just flashes on screen for a second, how do I fix that?I'd also like for the "image_loader" to load inside a container with certain size constraints. I found code that does the resize but I don't know how to make the bridge between the image_loader, a possible movieclip container and the resize function as I might use the loaded image in more then one place of different sizes. If I atleast pull it off with 1 I'll just use more swf's to pull off the effect if its otherwise too complicated.

[Code]...
This is hard to explain. Basically the user needs to choose their sex and type in their name then press the continue button. The gender selection is a bathroom identificationesque picture of a girl and boy. The boy is blue and the girl is pink. When you roll over the boy, it becomes a lighter blue and when you roll over the girl it becomes a lighter boy.
What I don't know how to do is that when you click on the boy, it stays a lighter blue, and lighter pink for the girl. That way they can see what selection they made. Also, when you click the boy then click the girl, the girl will become highlighted and the boy no longer will be (so you can only choose one gender). How do I do this? And how do I tell the program to store the info for later use? (when gender is important). I know that this type of action is used often in games so hopefully someone can help me.

View 4 RepliesSomeone has created a map where there are little colored buttons over building locationsThe buttons were made so that when you hover your cursor over them, they will bring up a little chat bubble (like the ones you see in comics) with the appropriate street address text. What I cannot figure out is how to, after removing the cursor from over a button, make the text bubble stay put so that those who see the map can highlight then copy and paste the street address from it.

View 1 RepliesI'm playing a flash game on facebook. I know I can decompile it to find out all the commands and would like to make scripts to automate the game by calling procedures in the actionscript of the game. So I guess I would like to make a plugin also that would insert this console into any flash app and this would be handy for a lot of things. Then if anyone wants to hack a new game, u just decompile it and make a handbook of methods for people to make scripts with. So how would I go about making this console? I don't know if I could make a swf interact with the game or if it has to be compiled into the game's swf. Or if it is easier with javascript, that is cool too. maybe we can make a javascript library just for this. anyone can tell me more?
