I am building an ambitious site especially for someone new to the Flash.I want to create a fully functional Flash Forum.Only problem is I have not found 1 site with information on how to build one and the only thing I did find was something called the Flash Forum Engine. It is a 3rd party software suite that allows you to build a Flash Forum BUT! it costs 1000 Euro's or $2000.

I have started building a website within flash(AS3) and now my client has come to me and said that they want a message/forum board. So I was curious how I would start integrating my website with a php message/forum board?

View 1 RepliesMy goal is to make a flash/as3 program that would pull multiple sets of data (images and texts) from the database and compile and save a flash video project for each one. What might be the best way to go about making this work? I checked but wasn't able to find a function that would publish the flash project in it's current state, so I don't think I can execute the entire process in a single flash/as3 file. My only other option is to have some other program/batch file take care of the querying the database and compiling multiple flash/as3 movies by starting up a flash program and passing it the parameters of the data it needs to build 1 complete project for 1 set of data. Is there a program to create .swf files automatically? Is it even possible to pass in init params to flash/as3 project?

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...
Every time I package an android application and run it from my phone it really distorts images/movieclips.I can see slight transparancies around movieclips that shouldnt be there, images look pixelated, when played on the computer it shows no issues with any of it.Are there any tips or tricks to solving this?Also the performance just is spotty on the devices. Was using flash cs5 and just DL the trial of 5.5.Also is there a place to look at best practices for optimizing adobe air applicatiosn for mobile devices?
View 1 RepliesA rather large project (rich web application) has fallen into my lap and I am unfamiliar with how to accomplish a major functionality. in the right direction.I need users to be able to customize a 3D avatar and store it on the server somehow. The user can choose a body type, hair style, hair color, clothing, accessories, etc. The user can then choose from a number of different environments to place their avatar into, a specific animation (dance moves, playing an instrument, etc.), and an audio file. The audio file would then play while the avatar performed the animations within the selected environment.
How should we go about doing this? What technology should we use? Ideally, my colleagues and I would use MoCap software (w/ Microsoft Kinect) to complete 3D base models and animations for the avatars. Is it possible to then dynamically skin / texturize the models with the user's stored avatar? If so, how would I accomplish this? Does anyone have any other suggestions on how we would go about solving this problem?
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 am working with CS3. yesterday I have finished my Website without an error message. Today I wanted to work again but I had this message error :

I'm making an app with flash AS3 and puremvc, the way to correctly handle view mediators is sort of throwing me a little...I have 3 or 4 distinct views, each governed by it's own mediator.Each view is only displayed on its own - ie. when 1 is visible/on stage - the others are invisible/removed from stage (over simplified, but I guess could be thought of as seperate pages, viewed one at a time, a nav bar allows a user to change views when they like)
At first each view mediator I had creating and added to stage it's own view component, and as such, when it was 'turn' to show or hide that view, it was simple - addChild and removeChild for it's view component.However, I read over at puremvc.org that it's not good practice to
a. pass round the stage (which was the viewComponent for each mediator in my case - where each view was added to - eg. viewComponent.addChild(foo)
b. create its own view - which allowed me to add and remove it in the first place.
So I changed to the recommended way - when I create each mediator, what I pass in is the view component it governs (rather than the stage/main doc class eg.
var view:MyView = new MyView();
facade.registerMediator( new MyViewMediator( view ) );
viewComponent.addChild(view);
with that the case - I have no idea how I would go about removing/adding each view when needed.I could easily enough set the visibility from within each mediator, but I sort of wanted to avoid doing that - prefer removing when not in use for resource management...how I am 'meant' to go about this (as in, when a view is no longer needed on stage, remove it - temporarily, and add it later on when it is needed?)
I'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.

People without Flash however, don't see anything but my background color. No yellowbar on top that enables them to download flash, and no message that they need to have flash either!I want to display a message when the user doesn't have flash, like on www.thehansofoundation.orgI just want the site to say that you need flash, you can download it here, and if you don't get it to install you have to contact your network administrator, because a lot of companies have disabled flash and I want their administrators to explain te problem and not the client I made this site for.
