OK, I'm going to go with keeping the list on here. Next page will probably require three posts unless I scrap the Useful Links section.

i prefer it with the lists here. its better because if i want to give a nub a link to the list, being outlinked to a site would usually put me off, plus theres ALOT of information to wade through on your site version, would put me off quickly
XD

someone give me an AS thread to do (no XML or PHP stuff, i cant be bothered with it)

How about explaining the geom class?

whats there to explain?
Point class - simple
Rectangle class - simple
Matrix class - pretty simple still: and explained well enough in documentation

Doesn't matter if it's simple, people will still learn from it.. you need to explain how and where the classes can be used, and such.. =P

.. atleast give me something not boring lol

Well you could redo OOP, Inglors was a bit basic.. also IK maybe..

Meh, I dunno =(

im too tired, i dont think there would be any point in an IK tut. its easy and pretty much useless for 99.99% of people

I could use a good tutorial on Inverse Kinematics, Mindchamber hit me up with another idea and I'd need to know a little of this to do it.

Please don't, it's quite useful. :-P

Seriously though, it's cool, please don't drop it.

i always use your useful links, so dont ditch it, please...
even if this list takes up 10 pages, dont lose the valuable things for the sake of brevity...

i havent yet decided if i think this really belongs, but it would be nice to see my XKey class show up in the useful links. i made it so people can be sent there to help with Key.isDown() functions, so i figured its appropriate to go there, but im not sure whether it can be considered particularly useful, just because its a specific solution to a generalized problem.

heres to hoping, however...

if you have msn then its delta_luca@hotmail.com, i dont feel like doing a tut on it

Lol,you wanted to and now your to lazy?

Funny.

I want to learn about the Matrix things,I was looking at the AS area where it's at yesterday.

I'm gonna have to learn some arrays then -_-;

Ok, Delta, I've got a challenge for you:
Make an AS: thread on how to have an estimated remaining time on how long it will take until a movie is done loading. This is not easy to do because estimated times jump around crazily without lots of estimation and approximization. Look about two pages back on this thread for ideas, when I posted about this but nobody really figured out how to do it.

If Delta doesn't do it someone else should. It would make a great addition to any movie.

i have a headache, i already know a way to get rid of the jumpiness, and ill try it out when im not tired again lol

lol, in the meantime GG appears to have finnaly pushed me to make a game, even though i havnt yet started on the actual game,
so far ive messed around with my preloader, made a very very cool looking and interactive title, and have the 3 options (not yet made interactive since they might change) that when you roll over them the info randomnely appears letter by letter (very fast) into the text box, and when you roll out it removes it letter by letter (very fast)

stop();
_root.alreadyLoaded = _root.getBytesLoaded();
setInterval(function () {
_root.dSpeed = _root.getBytesLoaded() - _root.alreadyLoaded;
_root.alreadyLoaded = _root.getBytesLoaded();
timeLeft = int(_root.getBytesTotal() / _root.dSpeed);
secondsLeft = timeLeft % 60;
minutesLeft = (timeLeft - secondsLeft) / 60;
_root.displayTime = minutesLeft + ":" + (secondsLeft < 10 ? "0" : "") + secondsLeft + " Minutes remaining";
updateAfterEvent();
}, 1000);

it's really jumpy since it doesn't load at a constant speed, but it works. and also i did use inglor's bandwidth script because even though i hate set interval, i like his mehtod better.
also to change how frequently it updates the time left change the number 1000. the lower the number the more frequent, but at the same time more jumpy.

Hey! Pay attention next time! Were you sleeping during class again? That's 20 demerits! Now go clap the erasers together outside!
Ok, to the point, I SAID to make rounding and approximation and stuff so that it would NOT be jumpy, because the jumpiness is the problem. Fix THAT, and you are my hero.
Also, being a noob to a.s. I don't know what the text-box variable is for all that script...

hmm, i made a really nifty pop-up code thing...should i make an AS thread about it?

not real pop-ups...in-flash ones. custom made. yeah.

you cant control the speed something downloads at, i tried getting the average but it still jumps around.

stop();
_root.alreadyLoaded = _root.getBytesLoaded();
_root.timeLeftTotal = _root.timesAdded = 0;
onEnterFrame = function () {
dSpeed = _root.getBytesLoaded() - alreadyLoaded;
alreadyLoaded = _root.getBytesLoaded();
_root.timeLeftTotal += int(_root.getBytesTotal() / dSpeed);
_root.timesAdded++;
};
Stage.showMenu = false;
setInterval(function () {
timeLeft = _root.timeLeftTotal / _root.timesAdded;
secondsLeft = timeLeft % 60;
minutesLeft = (timeLeft - secondsLeft) / 60;
_root.displayTime = minutesLeft + ":" + (secondsLeft < 10 ? "0" : "") + secondsLeft + " Minutes remaining";
_root.timeLeftTotal = _root.timesAdded = 0;
//updateAfterEvent();
}, 1000);

thats the best i can do. it'll probly run alot smoother on a real download instead of the simulated one

http://media.putfile.com/speedtesters

compared to my earlier one, this one is pretty damn smooth and doesnt jump much while still retaining accuracy:

I want to know if there's already a thread of something like...

AS: Dadn' me Style game

Or something of that sort. Because i'm thinking of doing an AS thread like that... ive got time.

Just will contain, movement, the checkers to make background rotate...

Has it been done?

Umm... for me it kept moving between 33s and 1000s and infinity...

I think I have connection troubles...
