View 2 RepliesI'm looking at creating a game which involves many bouncing balls on the screen, and the user can sortof select one of those balls and take it out... The balls should be able to bounce of eachother and the walls. I've tried implementing this from scratch, following the tutorials at [URL] - but it's not quite working for me, and if I need the game to become more complicated- probably best to use an existing engine. So is there an existing engine that will work very fast and well for this sort of thing? At a glance- it didn't seem like box2d or flixel would work for this... but what do you say?
View 2 RepliesI've got this ball that bounces around the screen. There are a bunch more that are made with the duplicate movie clip command. I want them to bounce off eachother, as well as the walls. The problem is, I cant just put the code on the original ball because then balls want to bounce off themselves which creates problems. So my question is, is there some kind of loop I can use to make it so each duplicate ball will bounce off the others but not itself?

I have a number of random balls bouncing around the stage.What I am having difficulty with is making them bounce off each other when they run into each other.The balls bounce off the walls just fine, but I can't seem to figure out the hitTest thing.

View 3 RepliesI was wondering which is the best way to create 3d graphics in flash like cubes, balls, a 3d cake or anything.
View 2 RepliesWhen I bounce a ball off the walls of the stage using the following technique.[code]Not only is the ball jumpy and skippy. but after so often it begins to go either in a vertal motion y = 5; x = 0; or a horzontal motion x = 5, y = 0. And stays that way. Why is it that the first method works fine but the other method works terrible. Could it be because the Math.cos and Math.sin returns very large decimals.I really prefer to use the second method.

How do I remake my swf for xml commands? "Remake" sounds silly, but I just want to have integer values updated by an XML file. This may be beyond my understanding. I'd like an example, a mash-up, or method I can work from.
myThoughts
- It needs to read XML "parse it etc"
- variables receive e:data instead "my struggle with passing values and function calls"
XML

I need to create a map of the U.S. that looks at a MySql database and highlights the states that have store locations and makes them buttons, and leaves the states that don't have store locations gray without button actions.
I understand how to create the individual states MCs with a gray state (no button) and a button state. I just need to know how to turn "on" the states from a MySql database.
I created some flash photo galleries for a friend using .xml to load the images. My friend is now asking if there is a way to automate it so that when he puts an image into the "images" directory on the server, it would automatically recognize that and edit the .xml file accordingly to add the photo to the gallery.
View 0 RepliesIs there a way to programmatically set flash to make sure it is the most updated copy of the swf? Let me see if can be clearer as I really don't know how to ask. Say I am building a movie and I just changed it, I open my browser and see the old version. I have to clear my cache to get the updated version. Is there a way of making flash "clear its cache" so to speak? I tried googling "SWF updated ActionScript" or variations of that, but calamity ensued.
View 2 RepliesI have a simple ball class where it bounces and such and stays on the stage based on boundaries. right now im using a for loop to attachMovie("ball",...) in my main fla file
which is basiclaly my movieclip that has the AS 2.0 class pointed to it. It bounces fine using the tutorial on Kirupa(by senocular?) i want these balls to bounce off each other too?
I'm building a Multimedia Player front end and we have some action features we'd like to include. Some of the features are like: add to favorites, bookmark and rating.
For rating and add to favorites I just need to some how send a variable with the value to the server. Do you have any tutorials and or suggestions to approach this?
I don't need to know how the back end works, i just need to know what to pass in the flash and how to send out the updated variable back to the server.
What is the easiest way to have a dynamic text field display news that has been updated via a form? PHP? what is the easiest to intergrate with action script?
mods: I accidently posted this in the ss scripting forum, sorry; that thread can be deleted.
I wanted a suggestion from you guys regarding drawing and scrolling performance. The requirement is - I have to draw a graph with sound volume's values updated at 30 fps. And I need to draw this graph and simultaneously scroll to fit in the new values. So the length(width) of the graph is unlimited.
View 1 RepliesAs a developer I don't really follow the updates in the CS5 tooling progression. I have been asked to 'take care' or getting some adobe licenses for the Flash IDE.So, my question is this. With the recent announcement of Flash 11, does that mean the CS5.5 author tool will be updated to handle output to Flash 11? Or will there be a CS6 out shortly to handle this.Does anyone have a rough idea or when CS6 is likely to be released (just a quarterly estimate will be fine)..

View 2 RepliesI have balls (...sounded pervert) that are created by duplicateMovieClip, yes, they spawn, but right on top of each other, and I don't seem to be able to do anything to them, I tried ball+i.onEnterFrame = function(){} typed in several different ways ("ball"+i, ["ball"+i] etcetc...) And I just couldn't find How to refer to them. i'm trying to spawn them to random positions and make them move in random directions (got the moving part already coded but like I said I can't name them -> can't use it atm.)
Short version: How to refer to balls that are created by duplicateMovieClip?
I want to detect perfect collision between two balls. i mean. when balls move in ENTER_FRAME. their (x,y) are updated with such a large value that it sometimes miss the complete collision. and also how to find the collision point.
View 2 RepliesI'm trying to make two balls that bounce into eachother and walls for a school assignment. My problem is I don't really know the maths to make this work myself so I've tried to get help from others who don't know AS but who do know the maths, but I couldn't get that to work. Then I found a site that had exactly what I was looking for, but it was in AS2. I've tried to translate it to AS3 but it doesn't work properly either. The balls either get connected to eachother and stay that way or go out of the stage. This example is here:[URL] Attached my files. Probably lots of redundant code in my code from previous attempts at solving it, but I don't think it affects anything as it is now.
View 2 RepliesI am writing a web application that will serve as a configuration for a random data generator that I have written in Java.The values that I set in this application will write to xml. The xml data is updated by a file called simulationParams.as and that file is added to each child in the "viewStack" so that when I change any of those values the simulationConfig file will be automatically updated.The problem is that when I press the randomizeBtn the proper events are fired and the listeners grab those events.My problem exists when I uncheck the randomize button.For some reason an event is triggered or the listener isnt listening so that when I uncheck randomizeBtn the values go back to their last position or value on the slider. Ex. if my initial value is 0 then press randomize the slider will go to 100. The config file updates and all is well.When I uncheck the randomizeBtn, the sliders value goes back 0 but the config file isnt update.The same thing happens when I press the useDefaultBtn for both selected/unselected, nothing gets updated.[code]
View 1 RepliesI want to write a game in which there will be some balls on the stage, that will move randomly. They must have unique starting speed and angle and should interfere with each other just like real billiard balls. Is there any physics engine in AS3 that might be useful for this purpose, or will I have to write and model their behavior from the scratch?
View 1 RepliesFollowing is the code I paste in the first frame of layer1..it was working before I added for loop..I am tring to explode all six balls on the stage clicking..but what is missing ?How can I get it work ?
for (var i = 1; i<6; i++) {
ball[i].onPress = function() {
ball[i].gotoAndPlay("explode");
};
}
I want to show the number of balls increasing as the frame numbers increase, and I also want to show them decreasing (reverse the frame no) how can I go about doing this? I also need the current frame to be in the middle of all the total frames so when I go to the right balls wil increase and go to the left balls will decrease..
View 3 RepliesI have a Spark List container whose dataProvider is bound to a result set coming back from a RemoteObject call. Pretty standard stuff.
<s:List id="list" dataProvider="{model.stuff}" width="100%" height="100%"
selectedIndex="@{selectedSlider.value}"
itemRenderer="{stuffRenderer}">
</s:List>
The selectedIndex is associated with an HSlider, but that is not the problem. My issue is that I would like to automatically select a certain "preferred" element from the list (only initially...to guide the user).
I tried to do that in a creationComplete event but my data hadn't shown up yet...setting selectedIndex didn't work..
I have a datagrid in my Flash app whose data keeps updating quite frequently.On every update, I need to change the cell color of only those cells whose data has changed.That too, if the updated value is less than the older value then the cell color should change to RED else, GREEN.I have tried using labelFunction, cellrenderer, etc. But to no avail.By no means, I am able to access the present data in the cells to compare it with the new data.
