If possible I would like to tile an image or MovieClip along a line using the standard moveTo() and lineTo() methods, The lines are directional so need to show something similar to >>>>>>>>>>>>>. The lines can be at any angle, so using drawRect() with beginBitmapFill() isn't an option. Also if possible I would like to have the lines animated. Is this possible or will it require a custom class?

I'm making a game where you place tiles on a grid. When placing a tile, I need to check the existance of another tile to the left, right, or above and below, otherwise the tile should not be placed.. Here is a function I thought would work, that accepts one variable (the position of the tile just as it is about to be placed) :-
private function checkSurroundingTiles(gridPosition:uint) { var t1 = gridPosition - 12; var t2 = gridPosition - 1; var t3 = gridPosition + 1; var t4 = gridPosition + 12; for(i = 0; i < gridRefArray.length; i++) { var checkTile = gridRefArray[i]; if(checkTile == t1) { return true;

I want to create a tile map and my fla is 600 x 400. Now I create 7x7 Sprites (Size 40x40) and I want them to be in the middle of the scene with text around (not in the map!). One way is do update the sprite containers, but this isn't "smoothly", I wanna scroll the content, when a new raw appears.
View 0 RepliesIs there any way to animate from a tile based .png image file? I have multiple images in 1 png file having slight changes in each image, which if cropped and put into layers one over the other, will give the feel of animation or a character moving or walking etc.I want to know can we do that kind of animation in flash as we do it in C++ or Java and how can we do it.

View 2 RepliesI am using a horizontal tilelist in flex to display an image gallery with only one item in horiz. tilelist being shown at a time. I have next and previous buttons on both sides. The problem is I want to display a particular item/image in that list when user clicks on a thumb image from another thumbimages tilelist at bottom. I used someTilelist.selectedIndex property but it just selects that particular index in list, it does not show that particular item/image. I want the list to show that particular image, not just select it. Please take note that the horiz. tilelist shows only one image at time.

I'm loading an external logo (.swf) into a movieclip. The user would actually select what logo to load from a list. After loading the selected logo into the empty movieclip, the user can than apply certain changes such as changing the logo colors, the size, the rotation and the position of the logo over a certain product.What I want to do is to expand on this by allowing the user to select whether they want the logo tiled across the product
View 3 RepliesI have a movieclip on its own layer, with the intention of using it as a background to all the other layers. It is simply a black square with the alpha at 60%. There must be a relatively simple way of telling this movieclip to either tile or stretch to cover the whole of any page it loads into.

What I have is a movieclip and a button in scene 1 (which is the main timeline).There is an actionscript layer also on the main timeline. what I want to do is when I click the button, it would do a nextFrame(); in the movieclip timeline instead of the main timeline.
View 4 RepliesI want to put an array of objects into a grid. I know the code is simple but somehow I'm not getting what I want.
Code:
const PADDING:Number = 10:
const COL:Number = Math.floor(Math.sqrt(tiles.length);
const ROW:Number = Math.floor(Math.sqrt(tiles.length);
for(var i:int = 0; i< COL; i++) {
var tile:TileSprite = tiles[i];
tile.x = i * tile.width + PADDING;
for(var j:int = 0; j < ROW; j++) {
tile.y = j * tile.height + PADDING;
}}
Notes:
- The array is declared else where as a public variable
- This is to be part of a game engine I'm building so I want it as flexible as possible
- The tiles as reading their properties for an XML file. But I don't want to use the XML to hard code the tiles' positions.

This is my code so far, is square.graphics the way to go? How do I draw a tile that is a picture? Do I need to hold the graphics in some sort of array to do checking like collision?
I'm familiar with C/C++/Scheme/Java/OpenGL/TCP/IP.I need to learn how to build a tile based / platform flash engine.What tools should I be using? What books should I buy?I strongly prefer tools that let me do things programatically rather than through a graphical UI.
View 2 RepliesI am having problems with my collision detection. basically when I hit a solid tile my character's body is half way in the tile already. here is my code.The properties wY and wX are my game world positioning. Not the stage positioning. dx and dy is the velocity the character is traveling. This first snippet of code is within a game loop. The focus point of my character is centered on the x axis

So, I'm creating a fairly basic overhead 2d game where users can "draw" a map. (Actually, they dont draw it, the manually input a list of x/y's, but the design aspect isnt important just now.) When a new tile is added, that tile goes into an array of all tiles ingame. The centrepoint is 0,0. Tiles can be added in all directions, so may be at 1,1 or 100,100 or -50,-50. Sometimes I want to determine what tile is at a location. One (imho bad) way of doing this would be to get the x/y and loop through all tiles and check if they are that location.
The way I'm currently doing it is to have a seperate 2d array of null elements, and when a tile is added, its set at that array. (ie tilemap[10][10] = tile[100]) Of course, because the values can go negative, tilemap [0][0] is actually the -1000/-1000 tile. (chosen as an arbitrary limit) Is there a better way of doing this? I feel like using a massive array of mostly empty objects could be more optimal.
I need to create a full browser flash website with a background image or maybe even rotating background images like these:

I tried playing with the code from these sites unsuccessfully before thinking that the scaling must be coming from the flash file itself. There seems to be a lot of these sites. I saw this tutorial:

But I think this is in AS2 (i'm not a big coder) and also uses a seamless pattern but I would like to use photos.
I'm in the process of teaching myself the components of the CS4 Design Premium package using the Adobe Classroom in a Book series. I'm currently going through the Flash CIAB and i've started using the pen tool. The task involves creating a wave like design across the stage. Whilst this in itself is simple, the final instruction is to click on the first anchor point to close the shape. In the illustration, the closed shape seems to automatically extend around the stage, however when I click on the first anchor point, the line automatically connects between the two points in a straight line.
Am I doing something wrong? The next step is to fill this area, but with the straight line effect that I am getting, this becomes impossible. I should point out that the instruction states that the pen tool line should extend off the stage. I have done this, but even then on clicking on the first anchor point the shape is closed incorrectly.
I am using Flex 4 and AS3 and I am trying to make it so that the user can draw a freehand line with the cursor - I have this part done.However, I also need the line to be a dashed line instead of one solid line like it is now. below is my code I am using. I have found some examples on how to do this, but they are all for straight lines, not for a freehand line.
