I'm trying to make a car simulation. I've a car that moves with keys W,A,S,D and i've a map with size 1200x1400 and screen size 600x700.What i'm trying to do is when car moves any place on the map , screen shall show that area of the map. The area that car located on.

I need a proper array code for making a dynamic text field that up dates as the user pushes the keypad (btns) I played with some stuff like the one below and cant seem to make it work

I was wondering if anyone would be able to help me with a problem I am having. I am trying to develop a simulation of a browser in Flash, and need to have a button which allows users to be able to go back to a previous screen (e.g. another .swf file) which means I need the window to be to move between .swf files.
I have tried various methods I have found online, but none seem to be working.
i am currently making a flash "pond" with fishes in it, and i have the ability to add food pellets onto the pond, how should i make the movement of my fishes to the food x,y location ? so it will be smooth , rather than setting the x,y location of my fishes to the x,y location of the food pellets.Also is there a good place to learn how to make my fishes move by its own?Fish class

I'm trying to preload external swf files as needed and show the progress each time a file is being preloaded. It works exactly as intended when I simulate it on my desktop but not at all when uploaded on the web: first of all nothing happens up until 50% of the main movie is already loaded and then when the the attempt is being made to load additional content, some weird number displays (-214...%) instead of the percentage.

I painted my stage black and when I simply run my flash file it traced "loaded" so everything is loaded well and it builds the UI. But when I simulate by pressing ctrl+ enter twice I get a white screen and after about 10 sec. (my swf is 1mb and it simulates at 100kbs) it displays the preloader instantly at 100% and loads my UI. So my text doesn't change from 0% -> 100% but I just get 100% when everything is loaded.
I'm trying to make a realistic scrolling terrain for a game I'm making. all of the movement and collision detection is 2d, but I need to make the terrain look more real.
does anyone have an algorithm for simulating a 3d terrain in 2d with the geom.Matrix class?
I know how to implement one, but I'm not sure about the logic for a transformation like this
Try to simulate the OnPress/OnRelease aspect of earlier versions. It is working so far, but when I press the space bar, it goes around once, then stops. If you check the output, it is looping back to the enter aspect, so it looks like it is not working, but it just keeps restarting. I need to make the enter frame event not work since the keypress is already down, and only work on the first time I press it.
var spacebarKeyDown:Boolean = false;
stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, moveChar);
function moveChar(event:Event):void{
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, checkKeysDown);
function checkKeysDown(event:KeyboardEvent):void{

I am looking to make a 100% deterministic Flash simulation (for multiplayer RTS game). So far areas that require special attention identified:
ActionScript Code:
Math.random() // obviously, have to use Seeded random
Number // floats are volatile, but that can be overcome by truncating precision
For.. in and For Each loops: // the order of looping through properties on an Object is different every time
So im trying to create a simulation Earths orbit around the Sun. Before i begin coding i need to know earths real orbit lengths.Does anyone know the values of (A,B,X,Y) variables?And once i do get the values, what is the code for moving an object in an ellipse? I know i need to use cos and sin but i dont know the actual formula.
Edit: I found out that [A] is 152,098,232 km and its [B] is 147,098,290 km. I'll scale these down once i find out the [X] and [Y].
Where do I can find an example or a tutorial of a realistic simulation of a rope tied between two points? I need to make something similar to the interface of Reason, the music app.

View 5 RepliesI'm creating a game like a paper plane movement. The movement should start with the drag and throw effect . With the drag and throw speed, the paper plane must fly through the scene with a glide movement. I got confused with its physics.
View 3 RepliesI'm creating a simulation in which a large number of objects are added to vectors and then taken away in random order (as more are being added). To remove the objects, I splice the object from the vector it's in, and notify all the other objects that an object ahead of them was removed so they can change their indices accordingly. As far as I know, the objects have no other references (I think), and within the object, I set everything to null. I read somewhere that you can't put "delete this" in the class, so I didn't bother with that. Will this be sufficient to get the object garbage collected, or should I do something else? What are the best ways to get something like this garbage collected?
View 2 RepliesI am working on a Real Time Strategy (RTS) multiplayer game, primarily working from this source: [URL] - which is basically boils down, to running a simultanous 100% deterministic simulation on all clients, and only transmit User input. Which brings me to the Number type, which is a float, which cant be trusted to be the same on all systems, and that could desync the simulation? how to work with Floats in AS3, to make them deterministic/correct errors, or just dont use them at all?

View 3 RepliesSo I decide to make my website in Dreamweaver with some quicktime files; they would have to be converted to F4v. So I downloaded the Adobe Media Converter and that did it's job.
Next step to place the F4v file into Dreamweaver, right. Nope. I then learned, that I need to publish the video via Adobe Flash Pro CS5 so that I can get SWF files, but my F4v won't open in that program.
I've been trying to make a playlist of some of the short movies i've done across the years but I am currently stuck.Is there any way to have a .swf file, load other .swf using variables defined on a separate txt or xml file? if so, is there a way that flash can do it all automatically? that way if i have to update it i only have to update the variables in the .txt/.xml file instead of updating the entire .swf file.
View 2 RepliesI have been trying to search for an answer on how to make a whole .swf file unscalable but I have only found information on how to scale flash files. I did find a post that mentioned the code "Stage.scaleMode = "noScale";" but when I add that to the first frame in my timeline, nothing happens.
