I have a question for you. I think its a thing called "looping" but I aint sure, that could be somethin else. lets say I had a maze and drew lots of walls how would I make it so that if my character bumped into one of those walls he would stop moving. without just putting code into every single wall. isnt there a faster way that like checks if hes hitting a wall with a single peice of code?

hey, i just bought "Macromedia Flash MX Game Design Demystified" and i agree.. it's awsome.. go out and get this book.. it helps a lot

thanks , sounds good, ive been planning to get a book, i hope they have easy instructions and the things i need to learn
ill pick up this 1 if i see it =D

Hey guys, listen, i just bought flash 5 and i'm wondering how to make a picture gallery, i've got a lot of anime and i wanna put it in a flash gallery format so my friends and i ccan share it as 1 program instead of 200 pics.

I think what you're trying to describe is if you gave each "wall" in this "maze" a clip name such as "wallXX" except the XX are numbers to give each wall similar but its own identity. Then using ActionScript for(...) loop function to loop through each wall to check for player collision.

cool. ya it is good. i just read like 40 pages of it last night.

i made my own topic out of this, but hell, why not post it here. this topic needs some reviving:

i just gone done reading the trigonometry in actionscript chapter in the book macromedia flash mx game design demystified. just thought u might want to know about trigonometry in flash. lol, happy new years if it has already happened where u live. if not, (like where i live), happy new years eve!

points to remember

-trigonometry is the branch of mathematics that deals with the relationships between the sides and angles of triangles.

-in game programming, trigonometry is used to help determine trajecteories, distances, and deflection after collision, to name a few of its functions.

-flash uses the grid-based cartesian coordinate system to idenify, place, and move objects.

-by default, the registration point of a flash movie clip is the upper-left hand corner of the stage or movie.

-the unit of measurement that flash uses for angles is not degrees, but radians. you can easily convert from one unit of measurement to the other to work in a more familiar manner. the one exception to having to use radians in flash is when u r changing the _rotation property of a movie clip.

-you can use the pythagorean theorem to find the distance between two points.

-the trigonometric function sin, cosine, and tanget use various ratios of the triangle side lengths to determine values and, used inversely, to delever results as angles.

a vector is a mathematical object that has both magnitude (a numeric value) and a direction. for example, velocity is a vector because it has both magnitude and direction. vectors can be divided up into x and y components to project it along the axes of the coordinate system. this is called resolving a vector.

"guerrillanuts"? Thats kinda of lame yo.?

omg shut up. what about ur fucking name....evilshark, yea thats very original you fucking faggot.
and btw get off of tits dick you cocksucker.

I found a nice little program that I've been using to get nice scripts off of. It's called an SWF decompiler (search Kazaa). It's pretty small. After installing it, go to any website and after loading the ENTIRE Flash movie/game, right click, and choose 'SWF decompiler'. This will ask you to save it, and just choose ok. Now, you can do this on stuff submitted on the Portal! I'd advise against using this to steal stuff, though, unless you want to be banned.

If you right click on the Flash thing itself, you can't decompile. So, right click on the part of the window that says 'TELL A FRIEND!' now do the decompiling process. After it's saved, go to the place it was saved to, and right click on it again. Choose to decompile, and now you can look at every individual thing - from scripts to sprites! It's truly great!

Have fun with the program, but don't resubmit stuff after decompiling it!

yea it's a neat little program.. seems to work pretty well.. but please people don't use it to steal stuff from people.. use it to learn how to script your movies and games and how to get better

Let me guess your only like what 10 years old? What the hell does "get off tits dick you cocksucker" mean? It doesn't make sense, so why don't you go back to sucking on ya momma's ass and shut the fuck up.

yea you wouldnt know what that means, let me explain. when you are on someones dick it means you are on someones jock. of course you wouldnt know that though ur a dumbass. dont come up to me even though i said nothing to you because you only start fighting.

and i can see you are not smart for your age because if you were you would of looked at my profile to see how old i am..........u.....r......stoopit(i know how to spell it so dont come back at me for that.)

How in the hell do you get off sayin I'm stupid? Your profile says 16 and either you aren't 16 or you have never hit puberty and are just an Immature little bitch. Also go away, no one likes you. Let me get this throught your head,
NO ONE LIKES SMARTASS WHO HAVE JUST BECAME MEMBERS AND ARE NOOBS!

what numbers would i type in the script for the random wander if I wanted it to stay in the bounds of a default size flash creation?

you know what i hate the most? i hate it when some guy comes up to ME, and starts something, then later down the line says that im the one whos said or did all this stuff first. who was the guy to say something first to one another. you were. why? i dont know. i dont ask for this stuff. i guess its the name. should i change the name? will that make you happy and everybody will stop coming up to me and saying my name sux? it probably will but i wont change my name. have you ever heard of that saying that goes like,"if you dont have anything good to say, then dont say it at all." right.

Im tired of arguing and bitching with you. I'm sleepy and this is a big tip, don't be a smartass and act like you know it all when you are on level 2. If you want respect then don't get smart with everyone, me I should take my own advice but sometimes I, and everyone, just can't take stuff so you react and then afterwards someone else will too so then you gotta respond again and prove ur not a wuss, well I'm gonna be a man about this and stop dising you, but let me warn you, get me mad again and I will fuck your damn computer up, ya hear me, I know how to hack and I'm pretty damn good at it so If you leave me alone, I'll leave you alone, alright?

disorder...disoooooooooooooooooorder. ya ya im a noob. maybe i have done some stupid stuff, but hey.....um...im sorr... well you know what i mean so stop this sentimental stuff. ok change the subject...im going to do a sprite movie but everybody stresses me about how sprites suck and how i will after i make tha movie. should i do it?

Do whatever u want man. This is Newgrounds, fuck everyone else if they don't like your Ideas.

ya but thats the aditude that got everybody hating me........but i dont give a shit, fuck everybody...ya.

thanx a bunch.

ya, i'm cool with everyone...except _DEAN_DEAMON!

whos that?

he is a dickhead. he spams and he has no sympathy for anything and he calls everyone an asshole and pissed everyone off. i even e-mailed wade to bann him, but so far no results. i hope he dies, also, another suckass user is unmindful. he does a lot of stupid shit like that too.

is the book good for people who havent heard of the word flash.
