i'm trying to create a swf that retrieves the users location (town)I've looked about online and it seems this could be done by using longitutde/latitude values for example(Guessing thats how you would do it - open to suggestions though!)I've seen working examples of this on various peices of flash that magically tell you what town your.

View 2 RepliesI'm using AS 2.0 I have big MC(circle - vector). It's not perfect circle because of Flash.On this circle I have some mc's (small circles - bitmaps) --> I'm using attachMovie on Big circle. I'm rotating with big circle by 45 degrees.
Sometimes I have to delete small circle and create another one at the same location. But after rebuild the position of new small circle is a little bit changed[mm].
It's visible and I'm very disappointed. It happens even the rotation is 0.

My query is on moving the object to a click location, currently I am using Tween to move the object. The object is at a constant speed by default moving to the right, once the player clicks the stage the aircraft will move towards the click location:
ActionScript Code:
//Get Click Location
public function mouseClick(e:MouseEvent):void
{

How do i make Obj1 move to Obj2 without easing? I want it to move Obj1 to Obj2 "walking" not "directly" by setting its _x and _y values.
Example for code with easing:

_y = 0;

I created a multidimensional array and I am having a hard time using .push to start another line. I have tried many thing however this is where I am at right now:
Actionscript Code:
arrayName = new Array(new Array());arrayName[0].push("cats");arrayName[0].push("dogs");arrayName[1].push("panthers");trace("arrayName[0][0] = "+arrayName[0][0]);trace("arrayName[0][1] = "+arrayName[0][1]);trace("arrayName[1][0] = "+arrayName[1][0]);
As you can see the last trace (arrayName[1][0]) comes back undefined. How do I add the [1][0] level of the array?

View 7 RepliesI need to create two combo boxes that are populated by an XML file. In the first combo box there are 13 choices and depending on what the user selects I need to populate the second combo box with the correct information. Now I can create the first combo box just fine but when I try to dynamically create the XML file name for the second combo box it doesn�t seem to work. What I am doing so far is taking the data from the first combo box and adding the quotes and .xml with this piece of code:
PHP Code:
pModCombo = '"'+event_obj.target.selectedItem.data+"Combo"+".xml"+'"';
pModComboXML = new XML();
pModComboXML.ignoreWhite = true;
pModComboXML.load(pModCombo);
If you trace that code it creates the file name just fine however the xml file will not load. If I replace that code with the normal xml code like this:
PHP Code:
pModComboXML = new XML();
pModComboXML.ignoreWhite = true;
pModComboXML.load("new.xml");
The second xml file seems to load just fine. However, if I create an if statement with all the different xml file names I will have to update the swf every time I add a new choice in the first combo box. So my question is does anyone know how to dynamically create the xml file name?
PHP Code:
pmComboXML = new XML();
pmComboXML.ignoreWhite = true;
pmComboXML.load("brands combo.xml");

I have a box that i made dragable by clicking at it. I would like a green line attached to a point in the frame and the other end of the line attached to the movieclip being dragged. Hope i made it clear lol.
How would i go about to achive this effect? If possible without having the line itself being within the dragable movieclip (because the dragable box is in more than one frame and i only want the line in one frame)
I was trying to obtain data I wrote using a sharedobject location from one application on another, but it didn't seem to work(used same machine). So I take it local stored data is only allowed to be accessed/manipulated from the application that initially wrote data to it?
Is this is for security reasons? Is there anyway around this, I want to have one application read variables from another...
I have a task: I need to place about 100 sprites on one canvas (with prepared grid on it). I need to place them as invisible (circles) stones, on the board, and make visible only on mouseover. The problem I come across is following, I can't place those objects accurately into the nodes on the grid.

I created a simple button that displays an error messeage: "error opening 'url" when I test the movie, but does play and opens in browser after publishing. However, it won't open in the browser in a different location. I pasted the html code in a web page but it doesn't work there nor opens in the browser in a differnet location from where it was originally published and saved. Why is that?

I'm trying to project "collision" points on a car for a racing game I'm making, similar to this image:
The car's registration point is the bottom center, so the bottom point is easy to place. It's also easy to get the top point using simple trigonometry. However, I can't seem to figure out how to project the two side points. I've tried drawing a bunch of different triangles to figure out how to project the points, but I can't get it to work
