If I place a pattern or object over a 3d object created in CS4, will it affect it by warping it in any way.I'm looking for a way to push a pattern over a 3d object, for the pattern to look like the 3d object is "under" it.
View 2 RepliesI have a class in which I have declared an array. The functions in that class are designed to make changes to the array, but it's not working:
[Code]...
Anything I do to customerCheck treats it as if it were a new array. This is especially obvious when using customerCheck.push in addCharToCheck() -- the trace always shows a blank array before push and an array with one object in it after the push... then next time it does the same. I know I'm making some sort of fundamental error regarding the scope of the array within the class but I just cannot find any good information on how to fix it! Moving to AS3 (been coding it for all of about 3 weeks) is a nightmare so far, and it seems to be the 'easy' stuff that causes me problems
i'm trying to search a string for a particular pattern, and replace it with elements from within the pattern... for example..here's the given string...if you want to learn how to use regexp, {url===http://somesite.com, text===click here}.
the pattern...
{url===http://somesite.com, text===replacement text}
and the intended result...
if you want to learn how to use regexp, click here.
of course, i'll extract the url and do something else with it... i'm just wondering what the regexp is for that pattern, and how i can extract things from the results returned.
Can anyone show an example of the object pool design pattern, as written with Actionscript 3.0?

View 1 RepliesI want a symbol (instance name: "bullet") to appear at the same x and y where another symbol ("this" symbol, the symbol the code is attached to) is when the spacebar is pushed, but only if "bullet" is off-screen. I tried the following code, but "bullet" doesn't appear on top of the other symbol ("this") when I push the spacebar:
Code:
if (Key.isDown (Key.SPACE) ) { //space key is down
if(_root.bullet._y<0) { //checks to see if "bullet" is off the screen
bullet._x=this._y //sets "bullet"'s x to "this" x

I'm having a very weird problem with a vector in my application.
Details...I have the following classes.
Person,Player,PlayerController.
Player extends Person. Person extends ObjectProxy in order to enable binding.So the Player class has the [Bindable] tag.The PlayerController class contains a remote object calling a php method to receive a firstname and a lastname and when the CallResponder gets the result from the call,the result handler creates a Player instance. At that moment I am trying to push the player object into a Vector..
The problem is the following.Every time the push method is called, the vector is being populated with the last player that was created but not just in the end of the vector. It replaces the other instances as well! So the vector always contains the most recent player instance but in every position of it.I have also tried doing it with an Array and the results are the same.
I have two arrays on my Globals.as document:
ActionScript Code:
public static var special:Array = [];
public static var ground:Array = [];
public static var playertouchme:Array = [];
I go to push an object onto one of the arrays:
ActionScript Code:
Globals.special.push( this );
That works fine. However, when I replace it with:

hey, I was wondering if there's any way to push a copy of an object onto an array without having to create a seperate variable for each object.
For example- in c, i'm used to doing something like having a 'temp' object- and then in a loop i would set the value of the objects members and push it on to the array (vector). If i try to do something like that in flash though, it stores a reference to that object in the array, so every time it changes every new element in the array changes to have the latest values of the temp object.
Without using as2.0 classes (i.e. just mx style) is there any way I can get the effect i'm trying to get here- just have one instance of an object that i can redefine in a loop and push a copy of it into the array so that i wouldn't have to declare a separate variable for each one which would defeat the purpose of the array.

I was looking around sites for navigation, and came across this: [URL]. I really like the way the menu with the four to five movies that scroll to the left and when hovering over them, the one you chose expands, pushes the other ones to the right of it away, and shows a description, stopping the movement. I'm thinking that this is partially the same concept as the infinite scroller, but how did they enable the object to "push" the other objects away? Tween class? [URL]
View 2 RepliesMy problem is that when I try to pass an object from the navigator.pushView(view, dataobject), I can't figure out how to access the dataobject from actionscript. I can access {dataobject.property} from MXML easily, but I want to set a variable in the new view to the passed dataobjects property.
View 1 RepliesI've been using the Regular Expression Explorer but I still can't come up with the right pattern.

I can't understand why should I even use the Singleton pattern in ActionScript 3. Can anyone explain me this? Maybe I just don't understand the purpose of it. I mean how it differs from other patterns? How it works? I checked the PureMVC source and it's full of Singletons. Why are they using them in the View, Module, Controller?
View 2 RepliesI'm working with some Action Script file and I found this:

I am working on a Flash project that initially had a simple template for the animation, but has grown to have different "states" with multiple templates (not under my control)Because of this, my update (ENTER_FRAME) loop is now starting to look a bit like this:

case "intro":

I remember seeing someone a while back using actionscript a method to draw a pattern. I thought it was a really interesting take on as and kept in the back of my head for when the possibility came up.
View 1 RepliesI would like to create a repeating pattern using a bitmap from my library as a background. I would like the pattern to always fill the stage area when the brower window is scaled. The code below works, but I think it may not be the most efficient way to handle this. Seems to be a little slow.
function onResizeStage(evt:Event):void{
backGroundSprite.graphics.beginBitmapFill(pattern(0, 0));
backGroundSprite.graphics.drawRect(0, 0, stage.stageWidth, stage.stageHeight);
backGroundSprite.graphics.endFill();
}
How can I find a given bitmap pattern on a bitmap ( loaded jpeg )? Is there any flash classes / functions for this purpose?Here is the sample image and has 4 patterns.What I want is to get the bounding informations of the 4 patterns on the image ( x , y , width , height ).

View 1 RepliesI plan to have the swf fill the browser window, and this should work fine for that. When people click on a button, I want the view to "zoom in" by scaling to 200% and setting the x and y coordinates appropriately.How can I do this with the repeating pattern, because the way I have made it is a series of movieclips. Is there a better way to make it so it is just one movieclip I can control the scale and position of?

tileWallpaper = function () {
tileWidth = 200;

I have a model which manages all of my data (DataManager)
I have a series of view classes, which manage stage instances.
I would like my view classes to listen for custom events within my DataManager class. So, for example, when all of my data files are loaded, I would like to have a custom event dispatch. All of my views will have listeners within them, waiting for events from the DataManager to trigger functions within.[code]...
