oh, and I'm aware of using

if ( num < 10 && num > 5) { num = 5,6,7,8,9 or 10;}

just hoping theres a way to indicate the inbetween numbers easier

Just wondering, in Actionscript, how would you indicate a number through a number, for example

if(number == 5 through 10){ your number is 5,6,7,8,9 or 10;}

Just what I was looking for, thanks a bunch

Most of us know that when hitting the tab key, you see an outline of buttons in the .swf. Is there a simpler way of defeating this (for games that use hidden buttons) than just using MC's instead of buttons, and putting in the whole

event(mouseDown){
if(hitTest(x/y mouse);
}

Just wondering if there might be a simpler way, or if theres an option when exporting or something along those lines

Your problem would be the depth. I think you'd want something along the lines of "this.getNextHighestDepth()".

figure anything out :P ??

I've kept cracking at it but just can't seem to get it..

1. (which is most likely) the for statement, you put in ",", they should be ";"s.
2. if not that, i isnt declared(just put "var i = 1" inplace of "i =1").

Woot, thanks man, that did fix the problem of the script errors, but it is still replacing the movie clip with each new one it calles...any ideas ?

I am trying to get my attachMovie command to attach multiples of the same clip from the library, but not replace one another, I have tried the following type of script

onClipEvent(enterFrame){
if(_root.event == true){
for(i=1,i<5,i++){
this.attachMovie("linkagename", ["newName"+i], 1);
}
}
}

I have rarely used the 'for' script, so I don't think this is written right as flash is giving me errors, could some one help with this one please & great thanks!

OH!! Math.floor.....thats the exact script I was looking for, never had used it before, THANK you guys very very much for all the help, I have got it now.

Gust, really appreciated!

var mags:Number = 2;
var mag_size:Number = 30;
var ammo:Number = 75;

var remainder:Number = ammo % (mags * mag_size);

trace(remainder);

I understand the remainder script using Modulo, but the problem is I cannot set the number of mags, I want the script to do that by dividing the total ammo by the mag_size, but without giving too many mags by rounding up.

This is where I'm at

magcapacity = 12;
ammo = 30 <-- though this will vary with a different script
mags = ( ammo / magcapacity );
remaining = ammo % ( mags * magcapacity);

but this does not work because obviously 30/12 does not give a whole number for the remainder script to sort it out, and using Math.round will round it up, also giving me the wrong numbers

I'm not sure you understand what I'm after, but thats my fauly, I left out that I want it so if you have enough bullets to fill a magazine, it will give you a magazine, so if the mag requires 30, and I have 45 remaining, that doesn't work since I'd want 75 ammo total into 2 mags of 30, with a remaining 15 bullets that fit, but don't fill, the last mag

"Using Math.round(30/6) rounds it up to 3"

I meant to say 30 / 12 rounds to 3, not 30 / 6

with Actionscript, I'm having trouble finding the code to round down numbers, and use remainders.

for ex -

I want 30 / 12 to give me an outcome of 2 with a remainder of 6, where both the 2 and the 6 will each become a new variable. Using Math.round(30/6) rounds it up to 3, and just doing it normally gives me 2.5.

my purpose -

I'm trying to devise a code that takes total ammo, puts it into magazines, and if it doesn't fit the magazines equally, it will have left over bullets for the last magazine.

Any help would be appreciate I'm stumped on this one

Heh, thanks. I will look into this

Firsly, I appologize if this has been covered, I had a hard time finding this topic when I was searching.

My Question -

I am new to HTML, and was wondering, when openning a new window, how do you size it to your specifications? For example - say I want to open a new window with an image, but I want it to fit the image specs. and not be able to scroll. I have a feeling this is very easy, but like I said, I'm new / haven't been able to find this myself.

Thanks.

I need a professional, clean microphone'd voice actor to read briefings and perform cutscene voice overs for my next game, Tactical Assassin 2 (the first can be found on newgrounds)

If you are interested, send an clean and clear audio clip of you saying the following in the voice you think would suit a tactical commander reading off briefings :

"This is your briefing. Eliminate your target fast and do not alert any civilians"

send your demos to sy_mon51@hotmail.com

Thanks a ton fellas :)

I think that's probably whats happening, because when I go to check options in my master volume thing, it doesn't have LINE-IN through playback, only under recording. So i'm pretty much screwed then?
Going to need a new soundcard I assume...

Hey I'm having trouble playing what I have plugged into my LINE IN input on my computer through my computer speakers. I have a DJ mixer plugged in, and I can record what it plays with various progams, but I do not hear the sound coming through the speakers in real-time, only when I play what has already been recorded.
I assume I should automatically hear the sound from my computer speakers naturally...PLEASE HELP! THANK YOU

Hey, thanks tons for the votes! Congrats to everyone.

I'll be the first to admit, Tactical Assassin was a simple game ( animation and script wise ) but that's only due to the fact that I desperately wanted to finish a project and submit it, s'been a while. Tactical Assassin 2 will be a lot better, so hopefully you guys will enjoy that. Thanks again, especially the one-punch machine gun - NegativeONE.

Hey thanks for that, but NegativeONE gave me a good method already.
*THIS TOPIC MAY NOW DIE*

Hey NG, can some one please tell me how to get the Ascii codes given to letters in Flash MX? You know what I mean...should look something like this (if on a MC) :

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (Key.isDown()) {
trace(get.Ascii);
}
}

Help would be appreciated :D

ya i agree, that whole fight was just plain great, the only good stuff of the movie really was the action sequences, specially the highway stuff, the first time i saw it i couldnt close my mouth, was just amazing, i dont kno maybe slow mo car crashes and being a millimeter away from death with flashy explosions and gunfire just turns me on....

i pretty much agree with every1 , and i couldnt 'not' agree with ne1 because we all have our tastes and opinions, but yes, couldnt agree more, trinity was off, very off in reloaded...and personally, i dont think she should win actress of the year either, she took the 'calm and over-confident yet tough' sorta character too far and made it just wierd...great movie non-the-less, cant wait to see kill bill v1, and the run down =D

i appreciate your reviews for those movies , was wonderin if they'd be worth my 15$

chainsaw massacre thign is way less sickass mofo'd then house of a 1000 corpses, havent u see ntaht movie :|

Okay, I know who you're talking about now. I can't believe someone so sick would be such a good animator. So does that mean you were friends with him? I never talked to him personally, but I did enjoy a couple of his flash movies.

ya i talked to him alot, i had a feeling he was different but not SOOOO messed up, and for those of u who dont kno him, he made that his pride movie

ok, i explained it somewat in the first post, but heres a bit more detail:

Ralf sweeney is that animator that makes DBZ style stick movies, hes good no doubt,but a sick man, and is rude to every1, i heard he commited suicide, but i say its bullshit and a cry for attention, but if its true i could care less, he was nice to me, he understood me as he said, but him i will never understand, a very strange soul indeed

I agree, that part is wikt! that whole movie rocks, my fav parts r the freeway scenes =D

Another movie -

Snatch

This was great, amazing plot and story, everything reflects something ! its insane, very entertaining, if u can make out what the people r saying ;) some craaaaazy accents, but still, a great movie!
