Re: [Flashcoders] bounce object off tilted wall

Hi, You should be able to work out your angle of reflection in a similar way as you do for horizontal collision. 2 billiard balls - collision detection is easy - if the distance between the centre's is less than 2 x the radius you have a collision. I think there is some optimisatio

Re: [Flashcoders] Left shifting input text as user types is unreliable

Is this happening because you are using the CHANGE event - is that firing when you change modify the character also? Have you tried using the TextEvent.TEXT_INPUT event - this might work, but I am not sure. The only other suggestion may be out of place, but concerns "usability" and might be

Re: [Flashcoders] Downloading a .swc library

Hi. I would think about using the [Embed] directive in pure AS3 code to create font swf files. You can have one or more fonts in a swf which does not matter and you can load them in a runtime dynamically. Here is an example of a Font file - you can setup a project in FlashDevelop that will

Re: [Flashcoders] Inheritance and abstract classes

Hi, If you "type" as a superclass you are generally programming to an interface, so you can just as easily type to an interface. Using interfaces is generally more flexible - it's easier to work with "has a" (interfaces) than "is a" (subclass), but sometimes you need a default imple

Re: [Flashcoders] Flash On The Beach 2010

I am not going this year, but have been to FOTB a couple of times and think it's amazing. My approach to choosing - as a coder - is to find stuff outside my normal sphere of interest, so I tend to take in lots of creative stuff and maybe catch up with some new tech things I might need in the

Re: [Flashcoders] Embedding Fonts, it should be easy...., right!

Hi, I have had lots of problems with this in the past - be careful you are not embedding the font in the IDE for any of your text fields, I think it clashes. Where is "MyriadProFont" coming from in your App? Glen On 15/09/2010 08:46, Jiri wrote: He Keith, thanks for pointing

Re: [Flashcoders] Apple changes their guidelines

I am guessing you App cannot be a shell for other code that is not downloaded from the AppStore - so your Flash iPhone app has to be totally self-contained, not like you can download the Flex Framework, etc. as external resources. You might be allowed to download graphics. Depending on the l
