Instead of adding enterFrame listeners to individual elements, is it better practice to have one element which listens for enterFrame events, and has an array of elements needin...
I am making a Sim City like game. There are lots of tiles. When I first started. I was just using a tilesheet. I was copying the necessary pieaces from the tilesheet. on to a blank bitMapData. I then took the bitMapData and put it into a bitMap which I then put into a DisplayObject. It worked great! tileSheet:BitMapData <----- data i...
I want to create a class that is interactive and can hold an image. I want it to be lighter then the Sprite class, so I was thinking about extending the bitMap class. If I extend the BitMap class. put a bitMap data in that class and at it to the stage. would it appear ??? ...
Hi I have this in AS3 differencePercentage = Math.round(((Pay.init / Pay.current) * 100) - 100); and that gives me the difference in percent between initial and current pay, but it's reversed. When it's positive i.e. pay is above the initial value it says -X%, and when it's below it says X%. Is there any obvious way I'm not seeing to...
I am trying to add an event listener to my BitMap. Tile extends gameProps, which extends BitMap. I try using addEventListener. That doesnt work. but the Adobe docs say that Bitmap has an addEventListener object. package { import flash.display.BitmapData; import flash.events.*; import flash.events.Mou...
Hi, I'm a flex noob and I have a few doubts regarding the Httpservice class, Can I use it to fetch data from a file that resides in my own server or can I use it to download any url like external sites like google or stackoverflow (even ones without an api)?

Hello, is it possible to use graphics (the numbers 0-9 in one png-file) instead of a Textfield to show the high score of a game to the player? With a TextField it is easy to "refresh" the score but what can I do, if I want to use my png-files for the score? Is there a simple way to do this? How are other flash game designer do it? My cu...

I am trying to have a method of this class dispatch an event that can be "heard" by the module and handled. This isn't happening. Any ideas? To be more clear, I am using 'dispatchEvent...
Hi, I am trying to implement a quadtree of rectangles (instead of points) to be used for collision detection. For some reason, overlap/intersection/collision is not always detected. I suspect this has something to do with the way an inserted collider looks for nearby colliders (see the "COLLISION A" and "COLLISION B" sections of Quadtr...

Is there a way to apply a colorTransform to a BitmapData in a circle rather than in a rectangle? Instead of erasing rectangular parts of an image by reducing the alpha channel as in the code below, I'd like to do it in circles. _bitmap.colorTransform(new Rectangle(mouseX-d/2, mouseY-d/2, d, d), new ColorTransform(1, 1, 1, .5, 0, 0, 0...

How can I update all images on the stage including al...

How hard is it to import a powerpoint presentation into flash. It would be perfect for me if the output would look like this: every powerpoint slide becomes a movieclip or a .swf file. I don't have any animations and sounds, its just text and images. I know i could save the slides to png but its very bad idea using bitmaps for text in fl...
