Re: [Flashcoders] animating into bitmaps data, recording stop points

I have this data available for each stop point so re-creating the bitmap isn't a big deal, but I am concerned with the lag in doing this because the animation is script generated and very complex i.e. it may take a few (or up to 5 seconds) to re-generate the data for each of these frames. The data

[Flashcoders] Variables can only be seen from outside of class

Hi there, this is a weird problem that I am sure has a really simple solution. I have written a custom class that is instantiated by another custom class. I pass a few variables to the class and I can trace them going in and check that they are set but when I go to use them again they

Re: [Flashcoders] Problem when applying dynamic mask [AS3]

Hi, Stuart, This looks like a job for global function getDefinitionByName(), my new bff (learned from this list). You can't instantiate item just as a string. You need to call getDefinitionByName(item) and then use that as your class def. var classReference:Class = getDefinitionByName(item);

Re: [Flashcoders] movement

Make sure you set the window mode to opaque OR transparent... not default. That seems to make a huge difference: wmode not set: http://hugo.wddg.com/blogfiles/wmode/wmodedefault.html wmode set to opaque: http://hugo.wddg.com/blogfiles/wmode/wmodeopaque.html Both are using the same swf

RE: [Flashcoders] movement

You are right - that does seem to make a difference - except I am noticing that set default it runs fine - it is when I make it transparent (which I need it to be) it then slows down -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of mario gonzalez Sent:

[Flashcoders] Moock TileMap/TileSet/TileMapRenderer

Morning, First post so hello. Hope to be of assistance to someone in near future. I am working through Essential ActionScript 3.0 and have downloaded Colin Moock's Tile Based classes. These classes fit a need I have for a set of games. I have googled for more info/links to see how others have

[Flashcoders] mp3 streaming interrupted

I'm using AS2. In my movie, I have some external mp3 files that will start streaming and then just stop playing. It's as if the streaming suddenly stops, but this happens even if I'm playing the sound back locally. From the documentation, if looks like there are just two ways to stop a

Re: [Flashcoders] Moock TileMap/TileSet/TileMapRenderer

Instead of using Math.random() in the randomize function, you would set the ID to the row / column position: public function generate(numTiles:int):void { var numRows:int = getNumRows(); for (var i:int = 0; i numRows; i++) { for (var j:int = 0; j getNumCols(); j++) {

Re: [Flashcoders] Problem when applying dynamic mask [AS3]

Couldnt get this to work for some reason i think its because its used from within a class, soon as the mask is applyed it throws an error! Ive decided to use SWFs insted of masking an image, but for some reason its not correctly sizing the file its loading! then the actual code to initiate the

Re: [Flashcoders] mp3 streaming interrupted

When you instantiate the object sound, are you passing a movieclip that possibly disappears at some point? sound:Sound = new Sound(someClipThatGoesAway_mc); I don't actually know right now if that clip disappeared if the sound would stop (the link between Sound objects and MovieClips can be a

Re: [Flashcoders] mp3 streaming interrupted

I figured out the problem -- the array holding the pointer to the instance if the sound object was getting indexed with an empty string (), and thus never actually getting added to the array, thus there was no persistent pointer to the instance. Andrew Sinning wrote: I'm using AS2. In
