Hi,

Need help, and the flash help doesn't help when your searching for something so damned small and specific.

I want to know if it's possible to have an if statement to have something like this:

if (stringVariable == "enemy"+*) {
}

So it allows any string that begins with the word "enemy" without me having to splitString then check the first five characters :(

It'd be great if you could help me out.

Cheers,

James

I guessed it would be that Video :D

I thought it was going to be a video of delta, doing his Mission Impossible climbing out and onto anything -_-

Actually, BBC have a huge system you have to get through, so I don't think this is a good option. But feel free to try.

For the schools, I'm thinking of sending e-mails around. Who in the school would be best to inquire to or rather, who would have both interest and access to budget money?

Try contacting the new WiggiWorld, they got a deal with a group of schools so they must know the best way to contact. BoMToons was one of the guys on their team.

It's not just about drinking.
The main day is about having fun in London, talking, meeting, videogames (football?!?) and the night is about drinking. It also allows people who are younger than 18 to come.

I did a bottle of wine in... actually I have no idea, I have no recollection of doing it.

Is this bollocks or what?!?

Apparently if I buy flash from the US shop, I can get it for £347.28 ($699) saving £227.30 (that's $457.51 to you Americans).
Has anyone else noticed this?

Dibs.

If you still can't get it to work after turning it off and on again post your problem with specifics here:

Disk drive?!?

Are you from the past?

It's called "SecondLife", and yes it does suck.

Sorry Arby, the only proper educational sponsor I know of is WiggiWorld (now called something different) but the people there are far too young to learn Grade 9 stuff.
You could always try emailing some flash websites with educational as subsections. (Google educational flash games) I saw a couple, but nothing that looks promising I'm afraid.

Lets be fair, education doesn't sell :/

I'm afraid if your looking for Warm Pussy, your on the wrong website xD
Only 1 girl has attended one of these meet ups.

Flash doesn't like certain compression codecs/format etc.

Download Goldwave (google it) and install the LameMP3 codec for it.
Open the file in Goldwave and re-save as either a MP3 or WAV and it'll re-compress it and work.

I'll be there, Mark will be there and Kester will probably come as well.

If you want a game of football in London, you want to look into going to Hyde Park.
Also, if I recall, Buckingham palace is off Hyde Park too, so you Yanks can do the tourist thing and get your photo taken there.

ofcourse, at the same time our maths is built upon a set of axioms that are assumed to be true, and from which everything else is derived :)

Not as good as the one above, but this is my 3000th post.

Here is the song and the author is SlashNSmash

Create an animation on the main timeline with just tweens or frame by frame animation (no code or movieclips) and then File>Export>Export Movie and change the 'save as type' to gif

Flash has it set so you either have a different layer for each graphic tweening (for example, one layer dedicated to tweening the arm, another for tweening the leg) or you have a blank frame in between each tween to make it work.

For example, if you wanted to tween a gun and then on the same layer tween a different graphic like a bodypart. Create 2 keyframes, join the tween for the gun, then create a blank keyframe, and then add the different graphic and then tween that.
If you don't create a blank keyframe inbetween, it will think the new graphic is the old one.

I hope this makes sense, and i hope this is the problem you were referring to.

What is the error, please paste the error here, the code your have on your Vcam and what version of actionscript your using (for example, a flash actionscript 3.0 file won't work with a actionscript 2.0 Vcam)

So, just to clear up. Flash develops that sponsor, contest or sell games are allowed to use music from the audio portal as long as it's pre-redesign and as long as they give credit to the artist.

And we are not allowed to use music from the audio portal if it had been submitted after the re-design if we intend to make money off the flash (contest, sponsorship or sell).

Ebuyer for the components (it's a UK site) and post any questions about what you want to build here

What arguments are then needed. Please help me....

Again, I'm not sure what your trying to do.
When you declare a new Square on the timeline

var awesomeThing:Square = new Square();

it will immediately run through the function "Square" and thus addEventListener on movement automatically.

Thank you very much, you were spot on :)

Pretty cool little bonus() function. I didn't realise I could do that. I though that int(), String() and Number() were all just built in.

Hi,

Having trouble getting this to work.
This works fine (on the main timeline):

trace(bonusCont.getChildAt(k).x)

Output: 450

But when I define a public var:

package {
	public class bonus extends MovieClip {
		public var bonusType:String = "speed";
		public function bonus(inputType:String):void {
		}
	}
}
// Now on the main timeline
trace(bonusCont.getChildAt(k).bonusType)

output:1119: Access of possibly undefined property bonusType through a reference with static type flash.display:DisplayObject.

Am I going the correct way about doing this?

I've seen some games been sponsored by GamePrison and had a few offers from them before.

If you can, I'd negotiate for a fixed price as opposed to score. Or if you like to gamble, go for a fixed price, plus bonuses for score or awards.

From what I've seen, GamePrison seem to sponsor smaller games.
You can also try some other sponsors and use quotes to create bid wars if you like.

Congrats to Zekey and Rtil, both former UCFD members.
