You're exactly right. I would say the only real reasons to use as3 would be if you're planning on designing a big project (where oop makes sense), if you normally have problems with framerate, or if you want to make use of one of as3's new classes (like getting the volume of a sound). Otherwise using as3 sort of becomes detrimental to your time without any real benefits. Thats my opinion anyway I'm sure others disagree.

Thanks to all of you that are helping with this / helping spread it around. I know a couple of you have posted it to other forums and I very much appreciate it.

I also made a similar thing with zelda which is here http://www.duhduhduhduh.com when you get bored of the pokemon one.

Speaking of which.. does anyone have any other good ideas for customizable shareable flash things? I'm open minded to new ideas and if i end up creating your idea I will certainly credit you. (these things take roughly around 20 hours to make if you're curious)

You said it changes every 3 months. It's changed once since 2005, and thats only to update it to a flash tutorials collection.

It's changed FAR more than that since as3 came out. Just stop talking. You're delusional.

Its hardly even changed since I first signed up. Get your facts straight.

Does anyone know of a premade engine or atleast a tutorial about BASIC physics in as2?

Tell me if you find bugs. Here is an example of one I made:

Is there a way to make it so <form> doesn't break tables? I have elements in different tables and when I try to put the <form> tag around them, everything breaks up. Any suggestions?

Sorry if I'm not being very clear. I mean I need forms LIKE html forms but in flash. Flash has built in components for some form elements but not file upload. I think that's my main problem here.

Forms like HTML forms. I am aware that there are components to do stuff like text boxes but I'm not sure if it's possible to upload images? If so it's probably a third party component I would think right?

Is it possible to do forms in flash including an image upload box and $_POST to a php file?

Nvm I figured this out. Authorblues your code worked like a fucking charm. merci beaucoup

Please explain. Is this on the php side or the flash side? Thanks.

haha dude what is your problem. are you having a bad day or something?

Well is there no php file that can just call a row with a certain ID number and then echo all of the results so that LoadVars(in flash) can read them? This seems something pretty standard that should be available.

I was curious if there is some kind of open source framework (a set of functions or classes?) that would make it easier for me to pass data from a web form to a php file to my mysql database. I need to be able to rename and resize images as well. I just figured i'd ask.

I am using load movie (as2) and I was wondering if there is an eventhandler or somethign to let me know when the image is completely loaded in?

I figured it out if anyone is interested. just put this on the first frame of your movie

import flash.filters.BitmapFilter;
import flash.filters.ColorMatrixFilter;
function getDesaturationFilter(t:Number):BitmapFi lter {
if (t==0) {
t=0.05;
}
t = t ? t : 1;
var r = 0.212671;
var g = 0.715160;
var b = 0.072169;
return new ColorMatrixFilter([t*r+1-t, t*g, t*b, 0, 0, t*r, t*g+1-t, t*b, 0, 0, t*r, t*g, t*b+1-t, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0]);
}

you use it like this
MyMovieClip.filters = new Array(getDesaturationFilter(1));// use 1 for on and 0 for off

How would I do this?

It might be to your benefit to let people know a little about how much compensation you are offering. I'm sure the majority of the more experienced actionscript junkies here on the bbs would be more willing to help if the pricing were competitive with other popular per-game contract work.

Best of luck to you :)

You might even find it enjoyable (if you don't, why are you coding? xD)

Ok then why do you use flash? Why don't you write your own browser-functional development environment in C or something? I mean if you don't find that enjoyable then why are you coding?

Besides not everybody codes out of sheer enjoyment. Some of us do it for money. Why not save time?

Yeah actually this is a great tutorial, but I see no point in reinventing the wheel. There's no real benefit that I would get out of coding one from scratch in my opinion.

I heard there used to be a 2d tile-based engine called gamepackage but the site is now dead. I would appreciate any link to this as well as any other suggestions.

Is there one in existence for as2?
