Into The Dark Depths Of Flash

[ZadeFireLance]

Ok ive been messing around with action script and i was wondering a few things,

Does Action script come with Gravity and all that, or do you have to make a billion variables.

Ive been wanting to make a game with realistic water but i dont want to make a variable for
each spike in the wave like a gay bobber game, but idk how to make the water its own mass
where it can flow on its own,

if someone can answer this i would be very grateful
and im not trying to rip codes i just want to know how to get by
and yeah im a Freshy at Action script

as far as i know, in AS2 graviuty is possible, it justs put something like gravity = 2;
but you'd have to do stuff like jumping = true ect ect ect.
gravity in actionscript 3, im not sure. i only use AS2.

the water, I have no clue about.

Gravity isn't too hard.

var grav = 2;
var xvel = 0;
var yvel = 0;
onClipEvent (enterFrame){
          yvel+=grav;
          this.x+=xvel;
          this.y+=yvel;
}

That's simple gravity.

As for the water that's asking a lot.
But if I were you i'd look up particle engines and Box2D or APE.

Depends on what sort of water you want. If you don't want it to move around or anything then its easy. If not, then you're probably going to want to use verlet integration. As far as I know neither of them have 'realistic water' in them. Besides, they're both for AS3.

No, no, no. There isn't. You're thinking of cs4 ;)

Actionscript isn't just 'gravity;' and your character will magically have gravity applied to it. Read up on variables and basic movement and you'll be able to do it easy.

AS: Main
AS3: Main

As far as I know liquids and lights are the hardest things you can program. And Flash doesn't 'come' with anything, it's just an authoring tool. You have to do everything. They just give you the tools.
