flash player 10 provides basic 3 fonctionnality for objects : x,y,z and rotationX,rotationY,rotationZ, along with Matrix3D class enabling more advanced 3d transformations.

but at this time, the best 3d engine for flash is an external engine, such as Alternativa, Away3D or Papervision

use swfobject to embed the swf in your html. saves lots of trouble.

using css, make sure your containing div has 100% width and 100% height, same thing for the body tag.

in flash, use stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE to manage yourself the positioning of your visuals, using the Event.RESIZE event.

/**
* Generate a random number
* @return Random Number
* @error throws Error if low or high is not provided
*/
function randomNumber(low:Number=NaN, high:Number=NaN):Number
{
var low:Number = low;
var high:Number = high;

if(isNaN(low))
{
throw new Error("low must be defined");
}
if(isNaN(high))
{
throw new Error("high must be defined");
}

return Math.round(Math.random() * (high - low)) + low;
}

google

if cpu is not a concern, use the Multiply blend mode in flash

3d "space shooter" coming up with this...

never really tried it in a production application lol

looks like you'll need a server-side script, such as php

then just don't do a database system.

ok then add an event listener for Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE, that triggers a seperate function which will add the events for your key management.

for your key events, try changing this. to stage.

seriously, wtf ?!?!

all of sudden, all my URLLoader instances started loading the php SOURCE of a script, not its output like it should do ?

anyone had this problem, and a solution ?

all i can say is congrats for the graphic design !

dont forget my dolby pro logic 2 beta class ;)

available at my google code project page (see sign)

"macros" in flash are called Flash Commands.

they are created with a flash interface based DOM javascript.

u can find many flash commands on the Adobe Developer Exchange website.

u should tru to play back your sounds using actionscript, not with a timeline-based setup

is it really blurred ? check the filters panel

... so that any transformations applled to a symbol will be proportionate to this point.

1. dont forget to save really often

2. flash sometimes has these kind of very anoying bugs. the best you can do about it is submit a bug report to Adobe online.

you should keep a reference of all yout bullet mcs in an array, then loop this array to check for each bullet.

maybe a problem of instance overwritring or something.

easiest way: convert your background to a Graphic symbol, and do a motion tween on that symbol, making it move upwards from top of image.

u cannot have onEnterFrame events for Button instances... if i'm not mistaken

careful tough, root in AS3 doesnt refer to the timeline, but rather the topmost display object.

jeez, learn ActionScript at first...

try that aswell.

only on the x axis....

use photoshop or any image editor to create a blurred duplicate of your background.

that's the old fashionned way lol

#include "path_to_file.as"

notice there's no semicolon at the end of the statement.

what are you talking about ?

a class file ?

or just an "included" file ?

for those interested, here's the beta class:

well some physics should apply, so....
