Actionscript 3 :: Detect Game Win State?
May 22, 2011I'm trying to come up with a clean function that will perform a check on a 2D Array to verify if a win has occurred in a ConnectFour game. I'm trying to work through the logic but my brain is swiss cheese right now. Here's what I have for checking for a horizontal win. It seems to me like there should be a way to streamline this block to work in all possible directions.

Sep 16, 2011I have a tile based game à la Scrabble where tiles are placed on the board.. during the game the tiles must all be touching, and there should be no groups of tiles anywhere else on the board..I can find single loose tiles and check for surrounding tiles easily enough but how would I go about checking if every tile is touching on a horizontal or vertical axis and if there are loose groups of tiles on the board ??

Feb 19, 20111) add a SimpleButton to the stage and view the SWF2) then press and hold the mouse button down OUTSIDE of the button's boundaries3) then drag the cursor over the SimpleButton while still holding down the mouse button......Then the SimpleButton on the stage does not detect the mouseover and display its 'over' state. It just stays in its idle state. Why is this? And is there a way to enable the SimpleButton to display its over state while the mouse button is being held down and then the cursor brought on top of the button (as described above)?That's the abstract, and if you are at all curious (this won't elaborate on the question, but maybe help you visualize a practical scenario) what's motivating the question, it is an application I'm building. In this app, the user is able to drag video thumbnails in order to rearrange their order.

Flash :: Air Android App Always Launches In Portrait Mode Irrespective Of The Way The Android Device Is Held?
Jan 25, 2011i have an AIR android app which i am running on an android device ( samsung TAB ). i want the app to get laid out in landscape mode when the user starts the app holding the device in landscape ( same goes with portrait ).
but the AIR app always gets started in portrait mode irrespective of the way the device is held.
i tried the following ways use stage.deviceorientation (but when the app starts (after the applicationComplete notification ) the value is UNKNOWN) use stage resize event. (this gets triggered at start itself, a manual resize is not required - the values are based on portrait mode though - the width is 600 and height is 1024 (should have been otherway) )
i get correct values when i try changing the orientation of device, only at the startup i see problem with the required values.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Updating A Variable Which Is Held In An Array
May 23, 2011I'm using the following parallax class, which I downloaded from fuoridalcerchio.net, but it's no longer available:[code]I created a mc container named parallaxContainer, which holds the parallax items, and defined it's class as ParallaxBox. Then, to initialize the class, I used (as per the instructions that once were posted on the site I mentioned):[code]
Right now I have just added one item for testing purposes (bg) and it works perfectly as long as I don't resize the browser window. I'm no programmer, but as far as I can tell, the class adds items to the array "theObjects" using the function addParallaxItem. The first value is the instance name of the object to add, the second is the horizontal range in pixels which the object is allowed to pan (set to 960 since my stage is 960px wide) and the third is the vertical range(which is set to 0). I can't post the link since my post count is less than 50, but the thing is if the browser window is larger than 960px, the "bg" movieclip shouldn't travel 960px to either side to reach the edge. I'm not very good at math, so I don't know how to calculate the new distance it should travel, which should be less. If someone wants to help, I can PM the link so that you can see what I mean.[code]Obviously, even though the value of the variable is updated, it's not passed to the array.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Moving A Movie Clip When A Button Is Held Down?

if (this.pics1._y<-240) {
} else {
this.pics1._y = (this.pics1._y-10);

ActionScript 3.0 :: Stop Keyboard Action Repeating When Key Is Held Down?
Apr 10, 2009I'm developing a game for my final year project at university that has a character who can move up and down on screen. The upper half of the screen is reflected in the lower half so that there are actually two characters on screen at once, each reacting exactly the same way to keyboard input.One of the mechanics involves the two avatars changing positions relative to their halves of the screen which requires a spacebar press to execute. The problem I'm having is that I don't want the characters to change positions once every frame if the spacebar is held down. I need to implement some sort of delay once the spacebar is pressed so that the characters won't swap positions for another second or so.
Code:
var plachaFlipPointY:Number = char.mc.y;
var shadowPlachaFlipPointY:Number = schar.mc.y;

I used a Trace in the code to see what the issue is, and one thing that I noticed is that the function seems to run over and over. I'm wondering if that has something to do with it?
