Dynamic MovieClips Posted August 6th, 2009 in Programming

Hi, I have a function inside a set of dynamically created movieclips. 'i', being the index for each new instance of mc. The problem is I'm not sure how to call that function.

I have a loop, but this failed to work but didn't throw any errors,

_root.mc[i].addColour("some value each movieclip will have");

Any ideas?

Response to: Problem With Export Swf To Jpeg Tut Posted July 7th, 2009 in Game Development

ah fixed it to fill the blanks. Thanks again.

Add an else {

// get the hexadecimal string (must be 6 chars length)
// so add the missing chars if needed
$hex = "ffffff";
while(strlen($hex) < 6){
$hex = "0" . $hex;
}
// convert value from HEX to RGB
$r = hexdec(substr($hex, 0, 2));
$g = hexdec(substr($hex, 2, 2));
$b = hexdec(substr($hex, 4, 2));
// allocate the new color
// N.B. teorically if a color was already allocated
// we dont need to allocate another time
// but this is only an example
$test = imagecolorallocate($img, $r, $g, $b);
// and paste that color into the image
// at the correct position

}

Thank you for the reponse.

Inside the php;

// now fill the image with blank color
// do you remember i wont pass the 0xFFFFFF pixels
// from flash?
imagefill($img, 0, 0, 0xffffff);

I assume this would indeed fix that very issue, but it doesn't.


Hi there,

I'm having certain issues with this tutorial.
http://www.sephiroth.it/tutorials/fl...e n/page002.php

It works for the most part, the image is correctly exported. However the background gets messed up.

The exported image looks like;
http://yourimg.in/i/mzn34c5j.jpg

The original is;
http://yourimg.in/i/tf3ixg5w.jpg

PHP has enough resources, 64MB max post and max_excution_time is set to 210.

I'd be grateful if someone could help / advise to what might be causing this.

Response to: Final Post-Castle Crashers Post Posted August 28th, 2008 in NG News

Well I got my red knight to level 13, turned on my xbox today and all my saves have be lost quite annoying considering I've go to go back and do it all again, then fear losing all my game saves. I wish more work had been done on testing. The game itself is great, but there are clearly lots of issues that need to be ironed out probably should have been before its release.

Java image icon on a jbutton Posted March 27th, 2008 in Programming

Hey there,

I'm trying to add an image button onto a jpanel, the button shows up just the image doesn't which leads me to believe it cant find the image;

ImageIcon cpp = new ImageIcon("icon.gif");
JButton button = new JButton(cpp);
p.add(button);

The icon image is located in the same folder as the java and the class files so I'm abit clueless at the moment, and any guidence would be appreciated.

   fscanf(in_file,"%s ",names[i]);

but its only reading in the last string into every element of the array. Any ideas?

Response to: C Arrays help Posted March 4th, 2008 in Programming

My fault, it is using j, pasted an old version here by mistake. It just prints out 10 of the last string entered.

Response to: C Arrays help Posted March 4th, 2008 in Programming

printf("%s\n", names[k]);

C Arrays help Posted March 4th, 2008 in Programming

Hey there, perhaps you guys can help me. Basically I'm getting a user to enter a set of names, then outputting them. The problem is when it loops out the names it only shows the last name entered anyone any idea why?

Please go easy on me, I'm very new to C.

char *peoplesnames[10]; //using a ragged array

enternames(peoplesnames);
return 0;
}

void enternames(char *names[]){

int i,j;


	for(i=0; i<10; i++){
		printf("Please enter a name (%d/10 Remaining): ",j+i);
		scanf("%s", names[i]);
		printf("\nLast name entered was: %s", names[i]);
		
	}
    //all names entered
	for(j=0; j<10; j++){
		printf("%s\n", placenames[k],k);

Response to: Javascript Passing variables Posted July 6th, 2007 in Programming

So this should be timeit=setTimeout("showalert("+ prev +");",2000);

Prev is called on a onchange event when I type in a text box i.e

<input type="text" onchange="test('example');">

just it keep's saying its undefined on my alert so I assume my quotes are wrong on this line

So this should be timeit=setTimeout("showalert("+ prev +");",2000);

Javascript Passing variables Posted July 6th, 2007 in Programming

var timeit;
function test(prev)
{

}

function showalert(prev){
clearTimeout(timeit);
alert(prev);
}

I keep getting undefined, when trying to pass the prev variable to showalert so I assume its something wrong on this line timeit=setTimeout("showprev("+ prev +");",2000); is it my quotes?
