[Flashcoders] Pseudo 3D car games

2008-12-02 Thread Christian Giordano
Hi guys, I remember there is a technique used by some car games, like I presume here: http://www.2flashgames.com/f/f-3D-Rally-Racing-4621.htm Which allows you to have realistic car games without a real 3D engine. Does anyone remember the name of this technique and have some information about

Singletons are overused and, except in rare instances, are a bad idea. Singletons are acceptable if you're writing throwaway code, like agency stuff where getting it done under tight deadlines is more important than getting it done in the most scalable and flexible way. A Singleton is just a

Yes it is. Greensock built an as2 class to do just that thing and then I rebuilt it in as3. Basically it works out the location of certain words and then creates a box around it. You can create whatever you want really as all it is doing is getting the x,y,width and height you need for the

Hi, You can use a tags in HTML textfields an you can also have these call ActionScript functions using asfunction:funcname or similar. This would work nicely for text with only a few words that you want to highlight. You can even use css to style your links. If you want every word

Ele, May be worth posting to the Papervision mailing list. http://osflash.org/mailman/listinfo/Papervision3D_osflash.org I haven't looked at your issues in depth - but it may simply be that you're asking Flash to do too much. 2000 may be a recommendation for the number of planes, but your

Hi, In addition to what Glen said, I suggest that you refer to this post here: http://troyworks.com/blog/2008/03/14/flash-textfield-actionscript-hyperlink-in-as30/ It's mentioned there that rollovers can be detected using TextField.getCharIndexAtPoint(x:Number, y:Number). Although you can use

Not sure. You can do the hover effect using CSS - use the a:hover style. Apply a stylesheet describing a:hover to your textfield. Works great. However, not sure you can capture that particular event. You can use TextEvent.LINK event to find out when the user clicked the text, but there is

Thanks for the responses everyone. Steven, I could use some constructive feedback: Usually what I do is have a singleton instanced when the swf is initialized, and using composition, other classes are instanced within the singleton. So the singleton becomes a sort of tree trunk with everything
