I have APE, but I'm not sure I can effectively utilize it for this project. Box2D seems popular, as do WOW and some others but I'm not sure which would be best for simulating celestial mechanics. The physics I need are essentially those used in the classic two-body problem.
View 1 RepliesI wanted to study some physics code lines related to flash actionscript 2.0.Is there anyway to build a model with physics incorporated without a physics engine? By bare actionscript?If yes, can anyone show me a tutorial or an explanation to learn somehting about it, please?

But what are the limits of this?Can i have a ball roll downhill using physics from within flash, without a external physics engine like box 2D.Can i have impulses? Well thats not important just wondering really.What can you do with physics in flash?

View 1 RepliesFor some reason, I'm having a hard time finding a recent, side-by-side comparison of the various pros and cons of the different open-source flash 3D engines, such as Papervision3D, Away3D, and Sandy3D. Specifically, I'm looking for comparisons in the areas of
ease of use (and documentation) performance (framerate with lots of polygons) stability (bugs, glitches, graphical artifacts) currency (for lack of a better word - is the project gaining or losing team and community members?)
language(s) used (is it in as2, as3, flash-player-10 as3?) features (lighting and shadows, import models and animations of various formats, click detection, collision detection)
This is reasonable, right? I don't want to essentially pick one at random, only to find myself in trouble later on. Working with papervision3D, I'm already frustrated by the documentation, or the in-name-only nature thereof - most functions only have headers listed and no descriptions of what they do. Personally, I like to be able to pour through the documentation and figure out how to do whatever I want, and I feel like I'm fumbling around in the dark, having to read the source and try to understand all the implementation details. Who's used multiple open-source flash 3D platforms?
I am in need for some 2D physics seen from "above and straight down". Basicly I can sum it up with a "throwing balls into walls" kinda physics.
There seem to be quite a few physic engines for as3 out there, but I wonder if anyone have anyone special to recommend regarding my particular need as well as performance of the engines.
Some time ago i played this great flash game I want to create a simple level where you can walk around, just like in that game. But i was wondering what kindof physics engine or collission detection i would need if you want to walk over hills or objects where the persons reacts to
View 2 RepliesIntroduction: I think Nape is a relatively new engine so some of you may not know it. It's supposedly faster than box2d and I like that there is decent documentation. Here's the site: [URL] I'm relatively new to programming. I am decent at AS3's basic functionality, but every time I try to implement some kind of engine or framework I can't even seem to get it to work. With Nape I feel I got a little further than before but I still got stuck.
My problem: I'm using Adobe CS5, I managed to import the SWC file like described here. Next I tried to copy the source of one of the demo's like this one and get it to work but I keep getting errors. I made a new class file, copied the demo source to it, and tried to add it to the stage. My stage code basically looks like this:

View 2 RepliesIs there anyone that can write a really basic physics engine including 1 ball and 1 solid object?
So it should be 1 ball and then 1 solid object like a box. The box should be completely solid, the ball shouldn't be able to go through the box, it should just stop when hitting it at any angle.
I'm trying to create a simple disappearing action when a WheelParticle hits a special disappearing CircleParticle. Normally the WheelPartical bounces off of a bunch of other CircleParticles, but when the WheelParitcal collides with this CircleParticle, the action Pauses, an animation plays, and when the action resumes, many surrounding circle particles have dissappeared.
The problem is that the WheelParticle needs to just drop from a complete stop, but it continues as if having just bounced off of the, now non-existant CircleParticle.
I'm having trouble clearing out the forces. I've tried init(), addForce() and changing .velocity amoung other things, but it keeps wanting to continue the lateral bouncing movement. I'm using the latest trunk version of APE in order to capture Collision events for sound.

View 3 RepliesI have an application on Google App Engine that is made of Adobe Flex [and Java] components. The app has buttons to do tasks related to the app, including an "Open" button, which allows the user to open a .XML file, which then gets converted into data/content that's displayed in the app GUI. Then I press the "Run" button and it calculates stuff related to the inputted data/content. Also, my datastore is setup using JDO. I'm using only GAE. I'm NOT using GWT.
Based on the nature of the calculations (algorithms) I'm running, I would benefit from being able to open an XML file and then click the Run button on my app simultaneously on lets say 5 different versions of my app that I have uploaded to app engine. The 5 versions would be identical.Is there a way to create, say, an HTML page where the user would provide a link to the XML file (or open/load it from their disk) to be processed, then press "Go," where then the XML file is passed to all 5 versions of my app, then "automatically presses the Run button" on each?I can do this manually at the moment by going to each version-specific URL for my app, but it takes too long. Do you have any suggestions for how I would go about setting up such a script?
EDIT: Motivation for the problem: It's not XML processing time that I'm worried about. I currently have 2 algorithms that compute the number of particular types of "special points" that exist in an inputted XML file which contains large amounts of data. The difference between the two algorithms is that the 1st searches until it finds every special point. Then it stops. The 2nd searches and stops when it finds the first special point it comes across. Using multiple instances of this 2nd algorithm, one has the potential of finding all the points faster than the 1st algorithm.
Quick question, has anyone ever come across either a web cam API or an open source alternative that can be easily integrated to a site without having any Flash or ActionScript experience.
I should probably say what I'm trying to do.... The idea is to create a Facebook app that lets friends communicate (and meet new people too) in real time over web cam.

View 2 RepliesI can code things fine myself but I've never used anyone elses code components to build something. I need to make a magazine that has a page fli effect and someone pointed me to Rubens flex book component (I'm assuming I can use it with flash). I've downloaded the zip file but I'm not sure how to actually start making my book. Everything is in different folders, because I assume they all are interlinked and are specificied with their paths within their classes.
I'm thinking I need to make a fla and then a document class and link that to the fla. But what do I put in the document class?
I want to build a community website with videoconferencing functionality integrated. I would prefer to provide this from within the browser, so I'm looking for a Java- or Flash-based solution.Also, it would be nice to spare bandwidth by having the clients stream their audio and video data without using a central server (like the way Skype works, for example).Is there a reasonably mature open-source project that meets these criteria?

View 1 RepliesI want to create a Flash application but I do not want to pay the $700 for Flash Professional CS5 (neither to pirate it). I have been looking at previous questions here in SO and around the net for hints of free software allowing to develop flash apps.
From my current research, it seems the tools I need are:
1. FlashDevelop or similar to create and compile ActionScript code.
2. Pencil, Synfig or similar to create animation (is it possible to export to fla?
3. ?? to put everything together and compile a swf file.
My question is whether anyone has successfully followed a similar path to build a flash application using only open source. And better yet, any good web site with documentation on how to tackle such a task. I have looked at the Open Source Flash Projects page which contains a comprehensive list of flash related open-source projects and libraries...

I have a client who wants multiple players on a page, each playing a different video. The tricky part is that they want to be able to add videos to their website with this custom player on their own, without having to go into the flash file.
Anyone have an idea or where I can find out how to do this? I dont' think XML would work, because it would still have to call a specific node inside flash...and this one swf should be able to work with any .flv they want.
