As: Main

[Denvish]

I don't think getting involved with trig is necessary. But, I'd like to see you remake the topic with some more information on other aspects of drag-dropping, eg:

startDrag(target,[lock, left, top, right, bottom])

which can be used to allow dragging only along one axis (useful for things like volume sliders, etc). Check out startDrag in the AS Dictionary, make some sample files until you know exactly how it works (which shouldn't take too long), and THEN write the topic.

I put it on the list because it's an oft-asked question, I just think it was a little too simplistic. Something that covers a bit more of the potential of the command would be better....

[Inglor]

add the clip event enter frame thing too for dragging with, it's a good alternative... and it also allows you to do a bunch of extra stuff

he asked someone else to make it... so I did

AS: Game part 1
Though I am not sure it really fits in here it is going to be a nice tutorial using most of the topics covered here

[Inglor]

actually, all these basic things are the reason for this thread, I linked to my replay button tutorial 20 times more then I liked to my XML one

[Inglor]

it is such a good idea it has already been done, check AS: Conditions and Loops

Well...... Ifs and elses are covered in BleeBlap's Conditions & Loops thread, and buttons are covered in Joelasticot's Symbols thread... the way I see it is, anything that's not too much hassle (ie, less than about 10 lines of code) to type out when someone asks a question about it is probably not worth making a topic about.

If you can think of something small that hasn't been covered already (or has been covered, but you can offer a fresh approach), then create an AS: thread, but try to fill in a little 'surrounding detail', like where the code could be used, and any relevant AS that's worth looking up.

You don't need my approval to create AS: Threads, by the way, although it's obviously currently my opinion as to whether they deserve to be on the list or not. Anyone is free to question my judgement on any such decisions, though - as this thread proves, many heads are better than one.

AROUND 64, not sure, you can write a script that checks that ;)

[Inglor]

w00t, 26 tutorials and counting :D, I'll try to keep my 1/3 BA at this thread, I probebly won't, but it's definetly worth a shot.

I didn't make most of them , I made 1/3 , it's not a lot... Kinda making up for the fact denvish thought up the concept :P

can anyone post a code for making powerups randomly appear and when the object hits them there effect takes course? i am just starting as so if this is too complicated please tell me!

[Inglor]

look into collision detection and Math basic

alright ty. by the way. if i use these scripts in my game. how i do leave credit? and do i need to leave credit?

[Inglor]

MY scripts are ALL under GPL, you don't have to credit but it's appreciated.

inglor, are those numbers in your prof really working w\ aim? if so could u get on? i would really like to discuss some as stuff w\ u really fast.

[Inglor]

I AM on, use those numbers without what follows them : 326528490

AS GAME 2

horrah

[FLCLmonkey]

I have a couple ideas for some, but I couldn't make them.

AS: Highscore Table
AS: Music Changer (meaning control panel that has 1,2,3,4, and each number you press stops the previous song and starts a different one).

Well, those are my ideas for ones that could work.

I know what you mean but these are pretty damb close. Seriously though we are running out of actual topics

[JeremysFilms]

Hi, I wanted t post a question here, because I thought maybe I'd get an answer:

I would like to make something move, but always be moving and just change direction if you press Up, Down, Left, or Right. It's for a "Snake-Type" game. I want it to always be moving, but change direction when you press the buttons.

[Inglor]

you keep the movement in a variable, check the variable according to the key pressed, and move according to the variable instead of the key pressed

[Mogly]

since my last post in here sparked an idea, i thought id think of some more

they way the list is atm isnt to helpful, it needs to have a mini explanation of each without having to go into each thread.

if theres a new thread made to house all these, then it should have a unique searchable name and all threads spawned off it should so that its longer than the 3 letter word search, and wouldnt get a load of other topics, so for instance just four random letters at the start of the topic, then the name (basically whats happening with the as, but longer)
eg
bhrd : Main
bhrd : variables
bhrd : enemies

and so on.

oh, and another idea for a thread (or can you direct me towards it) would be on random apearing enemies, for e.g they appear every so often just off screen, then come on.

and another on random appearance, for e.g in a shooter game you have a man positioned behind a box, when ones dead, another will appear after a certain amount of time.
--could these be in the same topic?

thanks for any replies

sorry for any dumb questions regarding AS, im just trying to learn it.

[JeremysFilms]

Someone, please make an AS: FSCommand!!

People won't forget this thread exists.

What about "AS: AttachMovie"?
Or "AS: Advanced physics", my thread covered only pretty basic stuff :P.

That's covered in AS: Duplicated Movie Clips. However, as I've said before, I'm always happy if more than one person covers a topic, SO LONG as they add a new angle or explain it a different fashion.

I also dropped by to apologise for my BBS absence, I've been snowed under IRL with offspring problems (ie hospitals) and other shit. I'm working on a cool API tracer that will hopefully be released within a week or so, and with any luck, I'll get back to being a bit more regular in this forum and Audio, too.

What sort of physics didn't you cover?
