Here's mine on variables. Is it at all good? I think I use too many big words and lack proper terminology, but I still think it's enough to give the reader a basic knowledge on the subject.

I thought I was doing varibles?
What? was i kicked or something?
Nvm, you can have that one, i didnt want to explain it anyways xD


Although practicality beats purity.

Errors should never pass silently.

In the face of ambiguity, refuse the temptation to guess.

When you did strict data types, you ddi:

var pie:number = 0;
Or somin along those lines.
That causes it to come up with an error. The 'number' should have a capital 'N' :P

Oh, darn, I'll fix that. I don't do much with the "var" things, or strict data typing, and I think I left out deleting variables, too.

Another error....

You can't do:

global.var blah;

You have to do:

global.blah;

=D

Doh, again.

Here.

Like how I added good old Tanky in there?

Response to The Tutorial Collab '07 2007-07-31 10:54:12


Here.

Like how I added good old Tanky in there?

Everthing was explained very well, but you made a lot of mistakes. I'll point some out.
- The [%] sign is actually called 'Modulo'.

- Refer to [+] [-] [/] and [*] and [%] as 'arithmetic operators'

- Refer to [+=] [-=] [*=] [/=] and [%=] as 'assignment operators'

- You didn't explain anything about strict data typing. It's used so that flash will actually understand the variable type, so you can edit it without getting errors

- There wasn't much you said about scoping. I would add this: Timeline variables are variables declaring on the main timeline not on an event handler. Local variables are variables declared inside a function. This could mean on a load clipEvent, or any other handler, and can only be accessed in that function. Global variables are declared like '_global.varName'. '_global' takes the place of 'var'.

-Var names don't have to all be unique, just timeline and global ones do.

Also, I've finished my more math tut (hooray)! Please tell me what you think. http://denvish.net/ulf/300707/77152_More _Math_-_Pedochu.php

Response to The Tutorial Collab '07 2007-07-31 10:57:22


Oops, a few more things.

- Strings and Booleans and Numbers are not the only things declared with var, objects, sounds, arrays, and more are as well, just people don't usually consider them variables.

- Give a few code examples of variables and their usage. (Number, string, and boolean)

- Mention a bit about arrays, but don't explain them.

E.g. trace(Math.round(Math.random()*10)+20);

Alright, I'll add that, thanks.

And I was thinking about making a page or two for BIDMAS, the order in which flash reads operators. Would that be worth it?

Response to The Tutorial Collab '07 2007-07-31 11:52:09


Ok, Pedochu, here's mine with two more pages on it with the problems edited that you specified. BTW, your tutorial is radical.

Oh teh noes, my tutorial on a music player is very similar to yours. :( Mine also uses loadSound(); to load music from an external source, as well as duration();, onLoad();, and onSoundComplete();. Currently, yours is also better explained than mine. Should I still continue with it?

Very nice! Read a whole thing. Sorry if my suggestions sounded harsh, but it was just in my opinion raise the tut from good the perfect.

West end pro: Very nice! Unlike every other sound tut I've read, it actually teaches you about external sound and some useful sound functions.

onSoundComplete is an insanely useful function

Krisddd: Thanks, didn't notice that. Anyone else want to voice their opinion?

well your should be in more depth, since its very specific. try to improve the explanations if you can.

I am trying as hard as i can to post an update, there are a lot of errors/changes that i had to make, and their going to take a while to implement. Sorry.
