Wow, I'm totally surprised at this topic. I didn't expect anyone to notice our country. o_o

We got ravaged as well, though thankfully not as bad as others had. The flood was as high as my neck inside our house, and I'm a 6 footer. : / We got to save the electronics, but our chairs, cabinets and other woodworks were wrecked. Cleaning is nearly finished, but we didn't bother arranging everything again.

Our neighbor (who rents) nearly drowned. She didn't want to move to our house while the water was still tolerable (like, waist deep outside), but she got into serious trouble when the heavy rain didn't stop, to the point that it was already at her neck in her home... while standing on bed. She can't get out, because the flood is higher, so my dad had to swim to rescue her. She didn't get to save anything, her laptop got drenched (she recovered it a day after she was rescued), but dunno if it still worked. I told her to take off the battery and let it dry, for that slim chance.

Worst flood in my whole memory. The last worst flood was nowhere near this. Hell this flood even got into malls. SM Marikina, a mall built beside the river, had the whole underground sunk, with the first floor having flooded about waist deep because the river rose so high. You can't even see the road, so it's dangerous since you might fall off into the river. God knows what happened to the cars in its underground parking.

It was said that a month's worth of rainfall fell down in just a few hours. : /

Try tracing instead of anything else to check whenever a condition is met?

if (condition){
trace("omfg true");
}

Trace your variables as well to ensure that you're reading them properly.

trace(this._parent.healthb);

Networked games is quite painful to implement. :/ Took me several days just to finish my networked Game of the Generals in Java and that's with Java's simplified networking and the assumption that the network is perfect (no lag/failure to deliver packets). The biggest problem you'll have is how to handle lost packets (strings of data).

Pretty cool, though I wish there was a way to remove a wiring instead of having to remove and replacing the gate. Haven't tried the 7-seg display though.

Ooh, thanks for reminding me about FlashDevelop. :O

I had it before, but since I never really applied OOP to Flash I couldn't appreciate it. But now that I do, everything clicked; I need it. I can work on the *.as files on FlashDevelop then worry about the graphics in Flash.

Screw CS3, I'll put up with AS2 for now. Still works for me anyway.

Or if I want to hide junk that's done and will never again be touched to prevent it from distracting me on other parts. > : (

I installed the Flash CS3 trial today to see if it's gonna be worth the upgrade for AS3.0 and the ability to collapse code.

But what the hell is this? You're telling me I have to highlight a block of code then click a button to collapse it? Why can't you be like many IDEs out there for other languages that automatically puts a [-] button on the starting line of each block so I can just click it to collapse? And if I want to reveal the block I have to click on the summarized line then click the [+] button?

What the hell Adobe?

Lost at the prototype line, but I got the apply part. The method also returns an Object, which makes me realize something: which one should I even be using to refer to an instance, the stage name or the class instance name? I couldn't even figure how to use the method. Where is the instance name? Where is the MC's stage name? Which should I be using? It returns an object, but how do I access the Box' methods? I tried something like this, but returns undefined:

var obj:Object = force (attach ('mcBox'), Box, [200, 200]);
trace(obj.getWidth());

The force() method kinda feels more like a workaround; is there a proper way I should be doing it? All this time I treated my movieclips as classes, and the attached MCs as its instances, but something's telling me that's actually a bad way of doing things.

I kinda don't get the logic here (AS2.0, yeah old'd).

Say I have a class, called "Box". It has a constructor that takes in the width and height, which it stores to its variables "myWidth" and "myHeight". It has a get and set method for each.

And I have a movie clip in the library, with identifier "mcBox".

Can anyone explain to me the logic of attaching the movie clip onto the stage, but in doing so I'm also declaring an instance of "Box", where I define the values in the constructor, so the movie clip will appropriately change its width and height?

I need to watch more NG movies.

The forum is not a place to advertise your Flash. Post them in your blog.

Many of the tutorials had authors who owned Flash 8. You cannot open *.fla files saved in a newer version of Flash (eg, opening CS3 *.fla with Flash 8). The only option is to look for something else, or have someone who has Flash 8 save it to MX format for you.

You can use your earphones as mics if you want.

fashScoreDev. Misspelled.

if(fashScoreDev == Infinity){

You'd end up multiplying with a null, which should become NaN.

New to Flash? Read this first!

Right on the top of the board you'd find a link for all the animation tutorials you'd want.

I thought it wasn't possible before, but look at this:

They put Flash with an invisible background on it. It's not simply camouflaging by having the same background as the webpage, since you can highlight text underneath it.

I think it'd be great, specially if it was for the PSP. Local multiplayer (coop/competitive) games are booming on the PSP thanks to Monster Hunter, so now others have followed suit like Phantasy Star Portable, Agito, and Dissidia.

The average US internet user browses on broadband speed.

281KB is very, very tiny, even for dial-up.

I hope medals are limited only to developers with good credentials, like those with at least 3 submissions and have 3.5+ batting average with a solo submission of at least that score. Or if they got review crew picked, or daily featured. I do not want the portal to get flooded by entries with a million pointless medals staring at me. :/

The forum is not your personal blog.

Former.

Nothing will help you improve your animation now than practicing. Just because you don't have the latest Flash version doesn't mean CS3 can only do sucky animations.

Keycode is 1.

Might be different on Macs, not sure.

ActionScript 3.0, forget about AS2.0, it's getting obsolete, not to mention it's slow compared to AS3.0.

Most of the "baww AS3 is too hard" complaints stem from users being too stuck with typical AS2.0 newbie mindedness (no type declaration, no OOP, using onClipEvents, etc). If, and only if, you had used AS2.0 properly, moving to AS3.0 would not be problem.

So why even bother with AS2.0 when you can go straight to AS3.0?

Pictures of what you've done.

Talk in proper English or else people will just take you for that random noob who wants someone else to do his work for him.

Iirc, won't Adobe Air support it?

The only "local multiplayer" Flash can do is on one computer running multiple SWFs.

You should start with the basics. If you knew the basics, you can easily create your own. What you're doing is basically just copy paste, but wanting to change a number, no matter how you twist it.

Sponsors wouldn't pay to license a game if they know it might give them trouble later on.

And this is why you start creating original characters.
