Please stop this is an actionscript tread.
Ok ive been going of the route too but its time to pick up the line again.

Ok I said join the war and registered nwo when I try to sign in I need a password but I didn't get one or make one GODDAMNIT!!!

good idea,so is anyone gonna answer my question?i'm gonna post a bit on API,just wait up a minute.

Alrigth enter this code on a keyframe to create a filled triangle:
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("drawing", 5);
drawing.linestyle(10, 0x0000FF, 90);
drawing.beginFill(0x0000FF, 100);
drawing.moveTo(0, 0);
drawing.lineTo(240, 110);
drawing.lineTo(0, 220);
drawing.lineTo(0, 0);
drawing.endFill();

Tell me if it does or doesnt.

It ended up working, after a few changes. it wouldn't go to the scene, so it moved the scene to the same scene as the game, and made it _root.gotoandplay(3)

and P.S. i think this thread has ADD ( hehehe : ) )

How do you set the registration point of an api object again?

Nice codes Nova, how about we have a topic for all interesting api drawings to go in?

Anyone know how to change a mouse icon?
Like to say turn it into a Crosshair?

I guess you havn't read the topic, it's in here numerous times including the first page and first topic.

Nvm i remembered.

Hmm... seems as if I've started a trend with this API...

I'm starting to make a game purely out of ActionScript. This is what I've got so far [put on blank frame, set framerate to 20 and move with arrow keys]:

_global.sw = 550;
_global.sh = 400;
_global.DPTH = 0;
_global.rads = Math.PI / 180;

this.createEmptyMovieClip("bg", ++DPTH);
with (bg) {
beginFill(0x000000);
lineTo(sw, 0);
lineTo(sw, sh);
lineTo(0, sh);
lineTo(0, 0);
endFill();
}

for (var s = 0; s < 25; s++) {
this.createEmptyMovieClip("sr" + s, ++DPTH);
with (this["sr" + s]) {
lineStyle(3 + Math.random() * 4, 0xFFFFFF, 50 + Math.random() * 25);
lineTo(.5, 0);
_x = Math.random() * sw;
_y = Math.random() * sh;
}
}

this.createEmptyMovieClip("ship", ++DPTH);
with (ship) {
beginFill(0x0000AE);
lineStyle(1, 0x333333);
moveTo(0, -15);
lineTo(-10, 15);
curveTo(0, 5, 10, 15);
lineTo(0, -15);
endFill();
_x = sw / 2;
_y = sh / 2;

ship.onEnterFrame = function() {
if (Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)) _rotation -= 7;
if (Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)) _rotation += 7;

angle = (_rotation - 90) * rads;
gx = Math.cos(angle);
gy = Math.sin(angle);
if (Key.isDown(Key.UP)) {
ax += gx * 2;
ay += gy * 2;
} else {
ax *= .9;
ay *= .9;
}
_x += ax;
_y += ay;

if (_x < 0) _x = sw;
if (_x > sw) _x = 0;
if (_y < 0) _y = sh;
if (_y > sh) _y = 0;

if (ax > 15) ax = 15;
if (ay > 15) ay = 15;
if (ax < -15) ax = -15;
if (ay < -15) ay = -15;
};
}

Crooked Asterisk-

Are you actually going to make a game out of only code? I think that would be pretty cool. When you're done you should submit it to the portal to show everyone what you can do.

Ya, I do too. It will be pretty simple, yet addictive (I hope).

Hm, yeah, that's an idea. It'd probably get blammed, though.

I was going to almost exactly the same, I was still working on the script then you posted....
I got as far as this:

rotator=7;
_global.varw = Stage.width;
_global.varh = Stage.height;
// check the stage width and height
this.createEmptyMovieClip("line", 0);
with (line) {

moveTo(35, 350);

} else {
ax *= .9;
ay *= .9;
}
_x += ax;
_y += ay;
if (_x<0) {
_x = varw;
}
if (_x>varw) {
_x = 0;
}
if (_y<0) {
_y = varh;
}
if (_y>varh) {
_y = 0;
}
if (ax>15) {
ax = 15;
}
if (ay>15) {
ay = 15;
}
if (ax<-15) {
ax = -15;
}
if (ay<-15) {
ay = -15;
// let the player move
}
};
}
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("bullet", 2);
with (bullet) {
beginFill(0x00CCFF, 100);
lineStyle(1, 000000);
moveTo(-59, 13);
lineTo(-60.5, 13.7);

lineTo(-59, 16.4);
lineTo(-57.6, 15.4);

// create the bullet
}

Well Anyways I know API now...

Stopwatch:
- Make the framerate 100
Put this inside a movieclip somewhere:

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
_root.hundreds += 1;
if (_root.hundreds > 99) {
_root.secs += 1;
_root.hundreds=00;
}
if (_root.secs > 59) {
_root.mins += 1;
_root.secs=00;
}
if (_root.mins> 59) {
_root.hours += 1;
_root.mins=00;
}
}

Put 4 dynamic text boxes somewhere and link them to the variables:
'hundreds' 'secs' 'mins' 'hours'

Hey guys i'm workign on a flash tutorial and i've done 2 thigns so fra:
preloader and wlakign animation,i'm now on API so it will have codes and a discription on the code so if you don't get API then this tutoial will hopefully explain it to you.

Wow. Sorry, but it’s so obvious that you copied completely off mine. :P

Hehe :P Evil did you make the stopwatch script so you could time to see who is faster at making scripts between you and crooked? :P Or are you still crooked? o_O

Can anyone Psot Actionscirpt for a Password system? I'm building some forums on Flash, and I really need them, I'l ldraw somthing for sombody if they post it up.

You're building forums in Flash? Good luck!

if (password_txt.toLowerCase() == password.toLowerCase()) {
// The password is correct
} else {
// The password is incorrect
}

If you don't even know how to make passwords, then I suggest you don't make the forum. It's harder than you think.

Does anyone know where I can find a good Javascript Tut that can explain the basics of starting a web page? I have a site already but I keep seeing Javascript pages and I just want to see the cool things you can do. Thanks. Later.

I have one more question. Does anyone know how to make an input text send whats in it into a dynamic text? What I have now is this:

input = inputcopy;

The one called input is an input text box. The second part, inputcopy, is dynamic text. I can't figure out how to make the dynamic text equal the input. HELP!

Hmm... well, that should work. Make sure you didn't mistype anything.

I checked everything. None of it is wrong. It still won't work though. What the crap!

Are the names as the text boxes variables and not their instances?
