Let's say I create an empty movieclip called "Test_mc", then I create an as3 class "Test_mc" like below and then I set the movieclip class to "Test_mc".
public class Test_mc extends MovieClip {
public function Test_mc() {
graphics.beginFill(0xFF0000);[code]..
Now I can drag out instances of the Test_mc into the scene and get red circles when I test the movie. The problem however, is that I can't see the circles on the canvas inside the Flash IDE. Is there a way to get these actionscript generated grapics to show up?
In a game in which a player must pass through one of three different colored doors , each of the doors on the stage is a different instance of the same symbol. The symbol contains three frames labeled "door1", "door2" and "door3". I am attempting to get the doors to be randomly generated. The following code seems to work correctly when I trace it:
function getNewDoor(min:Number, max:number):Number
{
var getNewDoor:Number = Math.round(Math.random() [code].........
I want to have 4 randomly generated variables whose sum is equal to hundred. Not sure of finding the appropriate way to do it.
View 4 RepliesMaking a ship game because I am incredibly original.. With that aside, I have a problem. I have a function to fire bullets from my ship based on its rotation which works.. it uses this code on creation: ember ho jis ny mmujhe block kia hai
[Code]...
The above code is in my Ship class so I can easily make the bullets achieve the correct rotation. And to continually update its position, in the bullet's class:
x += Math.cos(rotation / 180 * Math.PI) * speed;
y += Math.sin(rotation / 180 * Math.PI) * speed;
So that all works well. But I have another class, EnemyBullet, which randomly generates and uses similar code to set its direction and movement. In my ship class:

I gather that the rotation is therefore always horizontal, but can't for the life of me see why? Can anyone give me an answer? Assuming it's simple enough because the code I used to setup the rotation is the same working code I have used to turn a movieclip towards the mouse..
I love the tutorial "Alpha graphic fade with inertia" [URL] - that is an awesome effect. I'm VERY new to Flash and was wondering if anyone has made a similar effect where the graphics are randomly cycled as opposed to being based on mouseovers.

View 4 RepliesIve been using Flash since version 4, mainly just to draw and create Frame by Frame Animations. Only recently have found a need for dynamic applications.Ive been following the tutorial for the simple photo gallery/portfolio here.URL...Ive noticed that the way the buttons/thumbnails created in this example doesnt give me control over the way the buttons themselves behave on the individual level. Such as things like different colors/sounds/ on events, or whatever. Can anyone help me to understand how to make a button class or something that may already have these properties set, and then dynamically assign it to the thumbnails?

I have a load of FLA files with large libraries of vector graphics. Is there a way of forcing Flash to create an export(jpg or swf)of all the graphics in a library without having to manually drag them onto the stage or into a scene before publishing or exporting them? I'm thinking there might be an SDK or utility or something that can read fla files and export everything programmatically.
View 3 RepliesI am designing my whole app in photoshop and currently in the process of moving all of the images to flash to add interactivity. The promblem is, when we put the app on the iphone the quality of the graphic is lowered for some reason. When I am building in photoshop my settings: 640px by 960px 72 ppi Saving out as a .jpg When I send the jpg as a picture to my iphone 4 and view it in my "Photos" app, it looks great, but on the test app it loses quality. Does anyone have anyone have any idea whats going on here?
View 16 RepliesI'm currently developping a quite big (multi-lingual) application in Flex and I'm now confronted to a problem.I have to do some custom Buttons which have special fonts, special design (like shadow corner radius etc)and the most important, which are oblique not straight.I've made the button in Flash from which I've exported it in SWC.The thing is that, I need different buttons with different labels/icons/backgroundColors.So I would like to know, if there's a way to pass variables to the button class through theSWC file in order not to has one file for each button and each language.

View 10 RepliesI was wondering about MC and hey can help to lag a game out. I set up an advanced class system so i don't have to use MC to simulate walls, all i use isthe x,y,width and height. Well anyway since i don't need MC anymore I was wondering if there is a way to attach Graphics instead of MC cause a Graphics file size is relatively small than that of a graphic, I think. If anyone could tell me thats true and show me a way to attach graphics that would be nice. I haven't tried it yet but maybe if I exported the graphic from the library imihgt be able to call its name, but it doesn't have an instance name so im stuck.
View 2 RepliesI'm creating a site for my Flash cartoons, and one of the things I'm trying to do is create a button that the user can click on and view the background picture of the site differently.
For example - My site's background image is of an environment during the day (my default background). I also have an image of the same environment at night. I want the user to be able to click on either the "day" or "night" buttons to change the background. Problem is, I don't know where to start.

View 1 RepliesI noticed this thing that Flash self generated graphic symbols and names it Tween1, Tween2, etc. I am not sure why it happens. Usually it happens when I tween something and then this accompanying graphic symbol appears in the library. Do I really need them, is it a flash mulfunction and I can safely delete them? why they are happening, am I making all the wrong steps in tweening and thus they appear?
