PROS AND CONS ON FLASH VS GAME MAKER?

admin — Sun, 27 Nov 2011 17:01:51 +0000

Question by D:
Pros and Cons on Flash VS Game Maker?
I’m a programming major currently and have made a few small games in Visual Basic, and have taken a few courses in flash so i know many of the advanced features such as what action scripting is capable of…

Regardless I have been reading about a program called Game Maker, and off of the official site, there doesn’t seem to be much information about what this program is capable of…nor what the actual syntax (in the included programming language) is like…

So my question is, what do you think the pros and cons of using flash vs game maker are?

I would actually like people to answer that have experience using game maker.

Q&A: VARIABLES QUESTIONS FOR FLASH ACTION SCRIPT – PLEASE HELP!!?

admin — Mon, 18 Jul 2011 17:01:23 +0000

Question by pb:
Variables questions for Flash Action Script – please help!!?
if you can help me with this you will have my eternal gratitude, im about to go berserk!!

im building a web site, have my main timeline, and several MCs on top of it. each motion picture clip has a specific ‘chaper’ of the web site within it. All MCs are set to _visible = 0 and are on top of each other at the beginning. Then I have buttons on the main timeline, and after each button is clicked it’s supposed to set the corresponding MC to visible=1.

Here’s the problem – each MC has an animated ‘intro’ and ‘outro’ therefore i dont want to just go visible and invisible. I want it to play the animated part first.

I put a loop on the main timeline, and then had each button set the variable ‘chapter’ to a corresponding string entry. i have the main timeline check for the changing variable in the loop, and set the corresponding clip to visible=1 and tell target (each MC) to go and play corresponding frames. that doesn’t work. flash does whatever it wants with it!!

PLEASE HELP!!!

It appears that you are using AS2 (Flash 8). After you discover the solution to your problem, I highly advocate upgrading to Flash 9 (AS3). I can’t express how much more organized and superior desigend Flash 9 is over 8.

IS IT POSSIBLE TO ENCODE/EMBED MORE THAN 30 VIDEOS IN A FLASH DOCUMENT?

admin — Mon, 27 Jun 2011 17:02:34 +0000

Question by noble_avenger:
Is it possible to encode/embed more than 30 videos in a flash document?
I am in the process of making a game. I have about 40+ videos (Ranging anywhere from 10 seconds to 25 seconds tops) I want to run them at various time sequences/key frames.
I was wondering if it’s possible to do this, I heard that you can only store 8 videos in a single flash document? (I’m using both flash 8 and flash MX2000) Also, Action Script gives me a headache, as I don’t know any of it. Does anyone know of any tutorial sites that tells you how to embed videos and link them to a button? Or if anyone out there would like to join us in our game project, give me an email. Thanks!

Q&A: FLASH 8 / ACTIONSCRIPT 2 GAME DEVELOPMENT?

admin — Thu, 19 May 2011 17:03:52 +0000

Question by Backfire:
Flash 8 / ActionScript 2 Game Development?
I used to use Macromedia Flash 8 Pro to make Games, and I loved it. Problem is, I forgot all my game-making knowledge. Yeah, I havent used it for 2 years. I need to know a site, even if it’s old, for common scripts used in game making, ex. hitTest (Collision with objects), Movement, changing sprites, etc.

I think it just needs to be script for ActionScript 2. I WONT use ActionScript 3, because if it’s AS2 I will catch on faster because my memory will jog in. And i remember it being more friendly than AS3

I WILL NOT USE CS3, CS4 OR ANY OTHER VERSION OF FLASH, BECAUSE I LIKE FLASH 8 AND I FIND IT MORE “FRIENDLY” TO ME. Just needed to shout that cause I know people will state “just use CS3/4″ if I don’t

FLASH SITES AND PANDORA NOT WORKING; CERTAIN FILES RENAMING THEMSELVES. HELP!?

admin — Sat, 26 Mar 2011 17:02:00 +0000

Question by Phil Pearlman:
Flash Sites and Pandora not working; certain files renaming themselves. Help!?
For the last few weeks, I have not been able to access some sites that use Flash 10 applications, getting the error message “A script in this motion picture is causing Adobe Flash Player 10 to run slowly. If it continues to run, your personal might become unresponsive. Do you want to abort the script?” Now, whether I select yes or no, my browser crashes. On top of this, Pandora world wide web radio will not load at all, on any browser I have tried on my machine, so I was wondering if that was interconnected.
My other problem involves torrent files. All of the files on my hard drive now sport an additional extension, “.loaded”, rendering them useless. When I get rid of the “.loaded”, it turns back into a torrent, and then subsequently undoes the deletion. Any idea as to why that is happened?
Thanks!
