Build 6 flat surfaces inside a single movie clip to form a cube. Then rotate the whole movieclip.

Only problem: Flash will not automatically adjust the depths each face, which will cause adverse effects.

Just download the CS3 free trial.

Jeez...

Try cutting the frame rate in half in the swf, record it, then speed it up in a video editor. That would be a solution to avoid lag.

In AS3, it has been changed to "root" instead of "_root".

Yep, looks like wiping your computer and starting fresh is your only option. Lesson learned...

Buy a wireless adapter, and then get wireless internet from your router without your parents knowing.

Change
gameScore = 500
to
gameScore == 500

That well make ti compare, and not assign. However, I think it would be more suitable if you used.
gameScore >= 500
Using that will give you a life if you have a score greater than or equal to 500, what if someone went from 499 to 501? They wouldn't get the extra life without that.

You need to embed the font into the flash movie.

It depends VERY VERY largely on the game. For your typical mediocre game I think the average is around $1,200 for a primary sponsorship. It could be as low as $500, or as high as $7,000. (USD)

Sit, calm down, and take some time to actually make an attempt to figure out the new beneficial features in CS4.

Here's my AS code:

myData = new LoadVars();
myData.enemyKillCount = _root.enemiesKilled;
myData.sendAndLoad("save.php", myData, "POST")

Here's the save.php code:

<?php
$enemyKillCount = $_POST['enemiesKilled'];
$toSave ="user=Kage&enemyKillCount=$enemyKillCou nt";
$fp = fopen("userInfo.txt", "w");
if(fwrite($fp, $toSave)) echo "writing=Ok&";
else echo "writing=Error&"
fclose($fp);
?>

And here's the userInfo.txt info:

user=Kage&enemyKillCount=0

The problem at the moment is that TXT won't save like it's supposed to. If it's in Flash and I test the SWF, and it's told to trace the _root.enemiesKilled and myData.enemyKillCount, they'll both increase and show the same number as it should, however the userInfo.txt won't ever be changed to anything besides 0 for the enemyKillCount.

$toSave ="user=Kage&enemyKillCount=$enemyKillCount";

That seems problematic. Why have a php variable inside a string?
Try:

$toSave ="user=Kage&enemyKillCount=".$enemyKillCount;

In the loopMusic function it would be better if you removed the event listener on the songChannel before assigning it to a new one:

songChannel.removeEventListener(Event.SOUND_COMPLETE, loopMusic);

It will never be garbage collected if you don't do that, and could cause problems.

Thanks, that was real helpful information. Perhaps showing me the implementation of my code?

There is such a thing called data types in programming. Different data types describe different things.

For example one data type could represent integers, just like 5 or 10.
There is also another data type that represents text, like "5", "10", or "hey blargeg blahness", this data type is usually called a string in most languages.

Python doesn't know that the raw input are numbers, hence the * operator is invalid.

So what you must do, is something called casting. It's the conversion of one data type to another. In order to cast one data type to another you must use the syntax:

datatype1(variable containing datatype2)

Example:

int("5")

In python, an integer is called an int, and a number (which can contain decimals) is called a float (google floating point).

So you can accommodate for the user entering decimals by using float instead of int.

width = float(raw_input ("Please type the width of the object." ));

Hope this helps :)

Why does it not work?

MyMovieClip.gotoAndStop(Math.ceil(_xmouse % 100))

Takes the x of the mouse, and applies modulus 100 onto it, yielding a number from 0 to 99, but gotoAndStop requires a non-zero integer, hence ceil makes it an integer and 1 to 100.

text = "Welcome " + username;

:)

It's because it is a new and improved tween tool, however they do leave the "classic" one in place to use.

If you have Vista or Windows 7, use ready boost.

You need to use the ExternalInterface class.

Example:

ExternalInterface.call("alert('Executed from AS3')")

Should display a JavaScript alert message.

Try:

include "phpinfo.php"

First link seems pretty decent.

Well, you'd want to structure your XML like this:

<images>
       <pic1>
              **pic1 info here**
       </pic1>

       <pic2>
              **pic2 info here**
       </pic2>

       <pic3>
              **pic3 info here**
       </pic3>
</images>

Something like that.

Nevermind, turns out the SATA drive is broken anyway...

Well, programming is related to hardware, and I figured that it would be
more suitable in this section. No, I'm not purchasing it. I already have them with me to be put into a makeshift rig.

No. Not an intelligable answer, thanks.

What do you think is faster?

5400 RPM SATA hard drive, or a 7200 RPM IDE hard drive

Thanks

Rename the file from .swf to .txt
