I am asking this question as a complete Flash novice, so please do point out if I'm doing anything wrong here (I suspect I am). I have a Flash MPU size animation with a link in it which has been created by using a full sized transparent layer as a button (is that the correct way) with the following ActionScript: on(release){ getURL("...
Is there a practical "crash" guide for writing ActionScript 3. There's migration books from as2 to as3, but I'm not migrating. People that have programmed in C seem to understand the math concepts and arguments. Books, links, a better debugging panel would all be helpful. Here's my ideas, any suggestions. SIMPLE EXAMPLES "." is the ...

I wrote a collision detection class that works off using BitmapData.hitTest. Basically, every update, the .draw method is called and then two BitmapData's are hitTest'ed against each other to see if there is a collision. It works pretty well, however if I start rotating the source MovieClip I use for the BitmapData, the transformations ...
So I know as3 doesn't have pointers, but I thought there might be a way to use object variables as pointers. Right now I'm relying on passing a function that gets the get function, it's not a very elegant solution something like this: myvar = function():int{return objectName.getVarValue}; The other option would be to change all the g...

Hey, I have a code here that drops a first row then drops a second row down right after. First row drops right away and second row is on a timer. // Bring in first row var blueY:Tween = new Tween(blue, "y", Bounce.easeOut, -295, -49, 2, true); var pinkertonY:Tween = new Tween(pinkerton, "y", Bounce.easeOut, -295, -49, 2, true); var odd...
I'm trying to figure out how to dynamically place numbers around a circle (similar to a clock face) but dynamically so if the number of numbers around the circle is 5 or 27.. they would space out correctly. I found some code (below) that looked like it might help but I'm having trouble implementing it. I don't know how I actually tie ...
I am trying to use boxes for hit collision. I want to be precise with the collision so I was thinking about making multiple small boxes and checking for collision that way. This maybe a stupid idea or a smart one. Who knows, thats why i am asking you guys. If I do this way will that affect the performance of the game even though the boxe...

It appears my sound is off sync and the longer I play the movieclip, the farther off sync it goes. Its nothing too complicated, just some basic shooting sounds that fire every time I hit the space bar. My code is below: package com.objects{ import flash.display.MovieClip; import flash.media.Sound; import flash.media.SoundCh...
Hey all, I'm looking to be able to run some actionscript 3 in the background to handle some audio and build a javascript front-end. I heard that you can simply compile actionscript 3 and run it using the flex framework, but I'm new to all of this and am not really sure the difference between flex and actionscript. Any help would be grea...
I got a problem with processing an array in actionScript. I removed the last element of an array through array.pop(); After that I would like to put this removed display-object back to the beginning of the array. (array.unshift(object)) The object is now the first element of the array but it got still its old label (number of the last el...
Just curious, if I have a sprite on the stage with the alpha set to 0 does that take up just as much memory as a sprite that is visible? I imagine it does because it draws the sprite to the stage and then it has to set the alpha to zero. It may seem like a stupid question but I just wanted to verify. ...
I'm looking for a way to do a traceroute client-side, i.e. in a browser. As far as I know, it's not possible to send ICMP, UDP or TCP packets with arbitraty TTL values via Javascript or Flash. I know Flash allows TCP connections via the Socket class in Actionscript but it doesn't seem useful for a traceroute implementation. Is the only...
I need to move a ring with a solid border over an an image. I figured I would make the ring's inner area transparent using the bitmap.threshold() method and move it over the image. However the threshold() method's sourceRect parameter is a Rectangle and I need mine to be a circle. This is the method: **public function threshold(sourceB...
