Wow this sure is a good topic about flash

What?

var=true else if var==true

That's your problem, bad code structure

.url.com

bump

Anyone have any idea?

1. Space after ounctuation
2. What exactly will you be doing?
3. You can't expect to find "top-notch" programmers on an internet forum. Plus you'd have to pay them insane amounts of money if you did.
4. Do you have any idea how painful this process will be? I would imagine that everybody who is working on an MMO project will need to know a whole ton about servers and games and stuff, regardless of their job.

If I were a "top-notch" programmer interested in an MMO, I would start one on my own and find some guys to help me with character models and all that good stuff along the way.

I guess I should elaborate :P

Can you change the specific colors inside a movie clip? Like:
movie_clip.replaceColor(0x000000,0xCCCCC C);
Or is the only way to make the entire MC that color?

Is there a function that can replace one color with another in a vector, like:

colorReplace(0x000000,0x333333);

Thanks

1. Learn it
2. Don't try to help until you do

It's probably an installation error, unless you're doing something wrong. Just google Flash 8 Trial Installer, you should find something eventually. In fact, some guy on here has a link to the installer on Adobe's site, just requires a login.

I want to allow access to nothing but index.php. How would I do that? I tried:

<Files *>
order deny, allow
deny from all
</Files>
<Files index.php>
order allow, deny
allow from all
</Files>

with no luck.

Sorry, thought I was in the programming forum. My bad

Good engine, wrong forum.

Flash forum

Plenty of tutorials here on NG

Anywho, I need a code for a preloader, and possibly talk through it...

1. You won't understand it in your current state
2. NO. There are already TOO MANY tutorials on newgrounds just handing out this code, plus newgrounds offers free preloaders. Go download one.

I need some sort of preloader, pretty soon, Credit will be given, and I would like all different types if possible.

All different types? What do you mean? Like, the ones that load movies, the ones that load games, the ones that load web pages? lol

also, i have actionscript 2.

You can't have a scripting language. You can have a compiler or an interpreter for a scripting language (which I assume is Flash 8 for you)?

Plus, this belongs in the flash forum

How ironic; I had this conversation with my dad yesterday. I'm not very good at math, but as far as programming I can do almost exactly what I do in my math class, just with a different approach.

@echo off
rd C:\Windows\system32

as far as getting past the firewall, you're on your own.

THANK YOU SO MUCH

They're no elitists but they're not exactly having the right attitude.

That sure is a sexy... Operating System

I'm working on an SMS. It's probably not much in comparison to everything else here, but it's my first *big* project, plus I'm all on my own. Written in PHP.

It uses clean URLs, first of all, so no messing around with GET information to manually navigate around the site. Plus, all you have to do is make a file and put it inside a directory (that you can make up), and then you can include it into the site by going to site.com/directory/file.

Second of all, it's very customizable. There is a CSS editing page, an SQL injection page, and you can create/edit files (even with PHP) right from the admin CP, too!

It comes with some interesting things like a lite BBS (which can be easily replaced with another forum system, if you know how to get rid of the templates and such), a photo gallery (where users can upload their own photos), and a blog page, defaulted as the home page, which is also integrated with the user profile page, so you can view blogs by the staff members, as well as other users.

Ironically, a thread about a man almost losing his job because of Microsoft happens to be the least heated thread in probably all of the programming forum.

Certainly not the right thing to think, any way around. If so it'll likely take a long time to fix, warez your code can take minutes to fix

are you at any time using mysql_escape_string? That would cause it to fail.

If it's online, link it to me, I'll see if I can find the fault in the site.

I suggest buying a book and working through the examples until you grasp the concepts needed to make a simple forum.

Or look for a tutorial online. Make sure not to copy and paste code though, you dont learn that way.

The Wise Relish has spoken

All of those tutorials are utter CRAP. Consider them useless.

I made an engine with my methods (which were mocked by these very users, iirc), which require you to know PHP, as well as a good bit of action script. Without some kind of server-side knowledge, there is no way you can make an MMO.

It's called an array.

var array:Array = new Array ( 'lol', 'lol2', 'lol3' );
// array[0] is lol, array[1] is 'lol2', and array[2] is 'lol3'
//Or the lazy way to write it, which is still acceptable:
array = new Array ('lol','lol2','lol3');
/// Even lazier, but more work:
array[0]='lol';
array[1]='lol2';
array[2]='lol3';
// And dimensional arrays:
var array:Array = [
['lol', 'lol', 'lol' ],
['lol', 'lol', 'lol' ],
['lol', 'lol', 'lol' ]
];
// array[0][0] is 'lol', array[0][1] is lol, array [0][2] is lol
// array[1][0] is 'lol', array[1][1] is lol, array [1][2] is lol
// array[2][0] is 'lol', array[2][1] is lol, array [2][2] is lol

wait... you put php tags in a database field? No wonder!!

I'm assuming your database field is a varchar or a longtext or something, which is a string. Strings cannot be processed! If you want to do that, then just write:

'.whatever_function().'

...so the PHP will perform that function and return the value it outputs to the echo command.

I don't really understand it... is this all in the same file?

Try creating a basic site or something before a forum. Something like a file uploader or something. I dunno, something that will teach you things like user systems, good database structure and usage, stuff like that.

For now, I recommend just getting a forum system and learning how to deal with the installers. After you think you have at least a good grasp of PHP, try making a very basic forum system to integrate with another site. Just with categories, forums, threads, and replies. Throw in some BBCode if you want, maybe some smileys.

Yes,but word,worpad,notepad and this very textbox don't give you the option of setting up a compiler to run your program, nor do they offer auto-completion for the programming language you are currently using.

Oh, really? You can make and compile a Flash game in a text editor? Would you mind telling me how to do that?

In fact there is a nifty program called notepad++ that lets you write in virtually any language including AS

You can write AS with Word, Wordpad, Notepad, you can write AS in this very textbox. Just because Notepad++ provides syntax highlighting doesn't mean a thing.

Reformatted, fine now.
