Hey all, I'm trying to use LocalConnection to allow communication between
two flash movies on the same page. One movie is a basic media player and
the other one is a simple button that is being used to trigger the
player (which will be expanded to actually send the location of the file).
I
Hi Andy,
I started with a working player, meaning I had a working flash movie that
played the local mp3 in the web browser window. So the locality shouldn't
be an issue. I then tried extending it with the LocalConnection material.
I've been trying to do some things to check out what's being
Martin,
Sorry I'm just getting back to you, was out of town for a wedding.
You have things a bit in a weird order in the receiving swf.
Also, receiving_lc outside and inside the initialize function are 2
differenct variables/instances.
receiving_lc in the initialize function is local to the

Hi Ray, that didn't work
Working on another side project (Breakout clone), and am having an
interesting problem with hitDetect. The paddle and ball are detecting
hits with each other just fine, but the same code isn't working for the
bricks. The ball, paddle, and brick are all attached dynamically.
Here's the
Never mind, stupid me forgot to put = function() at ball.checkBricks.
Works fine now.

Just a general comment, eval is not widely used any more, although it
will work when it's on the right hand side of an equation, it won't on
the left. But you can use the square bracket notation :
_root[brick+row+_+col];
I'll try changing over to that notation when I get everything finished,
Question, is there any way to control the mouse that it doesn't go out of
the stage as quick? I have a simple pong game that people I have test it
find they go outside of the stage window too often and lose control of the
paddle. I.e. they exit the stage to quick with a broad stroke of the

Heya guys, writing a repro of Asteroids and was getting an issue with
frame rates. The frustrating thing is that on my pc it works flawlessly,
as well as a few other people I had play test it. On others though
they're saying its chugging or starts chugging when the saucer appears.

Just wondering if anyone else had this problem. I decided to migrate by
asteroids code to AS3, and found most of the commands I used were either
completely removed or redefined. It looks like I'm going to have to
rewrite the entire program rather thans simply change a few things.

Having an issue with video playback in AS2/Flash 8 I'm hoping someone can
help with. I created an .swf that's just for playing back an .flv that's
stored on my website.
The content path in the FLVPlayback component was provided in the form of
a url to the location on my web server.
The issue is:
I should also add, in the browser (FireFox) info bar at the bottom, it
states:

Upload the skin swf that should be in the same directory as the compiled swf.
Something like: SteelExternalAll.swf

Hey all, back again.
I'm doing a remake of centipede, and am looking for suggestion on the
mouse tracking routine (in as3).
The enivronment: The player is of course at the bottom of the screen, and
can only move up a specific distance. He may be blocked by mushrooms in
this area as well.
I was just presenting some of my work at a conference tonight where the
laptop available was a Dell vista laptop. Absolutely terrible.
Everything crawled or was very choppy frame rate wise. Even PONG.
I had downloaded and installed the latest plugin on there myself, so I
know it wasn't an

held down) between as3 and as2?

In as2 the key starts repeating really quick when held down. In
Ricky, thanks for the response but I don't see how a boolean variable
would help. I don't want to ignore key repeats, I want the pause after
the initial key press to go away and just start right in to the repeats.
In AS2 there was no pause, and in AS3 there there is.

Ricky - you were 100% correct and I bow to your insight. ;)
Thanks for the help, worked out a version based on your example.

You shouldn't rely on the interval of the KEY_DOWN to drive your game
logic. It's not reliable, as you are seeing. If you track the state of
the keys, you

instance of an explosion clip that runs for 5 frames.
Each instance of the explosion class created is in turn attached to an

I'm wondering if anyone can help.
I have an application I'm writing where, depending on user response, I
need it to load an externally stored class and then be able to access that
class from within the calling swf.
