[Flashcoders] A source of 3D dice.

2007-08-26 Thread Valentin Simonov
Hi.

Anyone got a source / tutorial with a realistic 3D rolling dice?
For as2.
I tried to make it with papervision3d, but it seems to be truncated much in
AS2 of its AS3 version.

Thank you.

Re: [Flashcoders] Why would this happen?

2007-08-26 Thread Rich Shupe
Probably your tile engine have extended Sprite or MovieClip and you added it
to the display list. Therefore, the tile engine as a whole is the parent
sprite/mc and the tile is a child of the tile engine. Could that be it?

Re: [Flashcoders] best way to set up xml for site

2007-08-26 Thread Dayton Schlosser

Well,

How do you code AS? Classes or on the timeline? Do you know the  
basics of creating an XML object, reading in the XML, and loading it  
in and all that? If not let us know. Myself or someone else could  
show you how to set it up. Also, it helps to know how you will be  
structuring your XML file.


There are tons of places to learn it, but here are two goodies. one  
you have to sign up for but is worth it.:


http://www.kirupa.com/web/xml/index.htm

and

http://movielibrary.lynda.com/html/modPage.asp?ID=90


Example:

// Create a new XML object
var myXML:XML = new XML();

// This is a function that sets up the parsing and loading of XML.   
See the function below.

initializeXML();

// Sets up the parsing and loading of the XML (yourXML.xml).
function initializeXML():Void {

// Ignores white space in your xml doc.
myXML.ignoreWhite = true;

// method for telling the object what do once XML is loaded.
myXML.onLoad = function(bSuccess:Boolean):Void  {

/***
		 * Now, in here could go a number of things but usually a for  
loop to iterate through your xml's nodes an stuff.

 * This all depends on how you are structuring things.
 **/

}
};

// Load the XML
myXML.load(yourXML.xml);
}

Hope it helps somewhat.
