If array lookup (mysin[some-calculated-angle]) is faster than whatever Flash uses to find Math.sin(some-calculated-angle) --you could write a loop to test that, since I don't know if it's true-- then the simplest thing would be to write (in a dummy fla) a loop to dump the contents you need (in

Anyone know of good online tutorials or treatments on generating and using lookup tables to speed up sin/cos and similar math in AS2? I'm looking for ways to reuse the results of a single calculation across a number of variations of the calculated problem. Yes this is game related :) Shoot-em-u

Now here's the question that's been rolling in my head... Does anybody know of a way to run both a patched and unpatched version of IE (Win), so that you can test both environments from a single Windows workstation (without dual booting)? It's always been my understanding that IE wants one and

Why not? Just don't forget that the "same timeline as the component" will be "_parent" for the component's internal methods etc. Then use eval or any other way. -- Best regards, GregoryN http://GOusable.com Flash components development.

Re: [Flashcoders] Question on removeMovieClip

2006-04-08 Thread Dimitrios Bendilas
Hi Jiri, This is a common question here. Negative levels are used by the Flash IDE. Whenever you create an instance of an object on the stage on the IDE, it automatically gets a negative depth. That's why removeMocieClip() does not work on negative depths. You may remove a dynamically create
