Re: [Flashcoders] Compound interest formula

2007-09-16 Thread Mark Winterhalder
Sorry, on second thought, it's quite different. With amortization, you have a longer period with a larger amount, with saving, a longer period with a smaller amount. So the compound interest changes the picture entirely. But maybe the derivation of the formula is of some help. Mark On 9/15/07,

Hi All, Does any one know how this site achieved its card flipping effect? Papervision3d or pre-rendered 3d? http://www.tripleslanguage.com/?CMP=BAC-1TO1Q3TP7042 Judging from the animation, it's a combination of both: a 3d distortion class (like PV3D, or others similar classes like Sandy or

true, but I assume these maps, being vector, have some nice scaling abilities within flash that would be lost in a screen capture. On 9/14/07, [p e r c e p t i c o n] [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: i can always do a screen capture... -- count_schemula ___

You could try and save your vector data, or SVG, in a database (SQL) and retrieve your map through remoting. you would then only need to parse back the vector data in Flash. But then I guess this could be tough on the user's CPU ! Alain Stanford Vinson wrote: Some excellent ideas here.

I disagree, IMO tthe only video involved would be the initial sequence of the cards falling though that could easily be an image sequence. It is more likely that just the card turning effect is pre-rendered and the card content is composited at runtime. When the card turns you can see a
