Q&A: DO YOU USE FLASH?

admin — Thu, 10 May 2012 17:01:17 +0000

Question by Lestat:
Do you use flash?
I’m creating a website, and I am using flash buttons, and I am looking for a script that can check my client’s browser and see if they have flash. If they do, I want to go to site a, if they do not I want them to go to site b. Are there any scripts for that that my client will not have to bother with the activeX yellow bar at the top coming up?

Answer by Lucid One
i think the activeX yellow bar at the top is standard in WinXP.

Use a Flash detection/redirection script below…

PROGRAMMING A GAME IN FLASH?

admin — Wed, 07 Mar 2012 05:03:02 +0000

Question by :
Programming a Game in Flash?
I’m trying to make a game in Flash. Not a 3D game. One like Evony. I dont know what to start learning first. I know nothing about it yet. But some people earlier stated To learn Action Script Cause thats the language that Evony is written in then ran in Flash. I downloaded a thing called Flash Develop because i had no idea. But now I keep seeing Flash professional CS5.5? It costs about 120$ Do i need to purchase that to put the code i make for a game in it to make it run? I am very confused on where to all to start to learn this and where to put code to make it run. But if you could pretend im 100% stupid(which i feel like lol) and explain to me how all this would work and what i should do to start learning actionscript from the very beginning please help me lol. I do not want to make a 3D game. Just one thats kinda like Evony but not even close just a concept like it. I have checked many other sites and all the tutorials just show all this code and do not explain how they got it. so i have no idea how or what things mean. I even downloaded the ActionScript 3.0 CheatSheet But i have no idea what it means or how to put it all together or where you even put it. In Flash Develope or what. But if these questions make any sense to you please let me know. Thanks!

Answer by Enrico
I think you need to learn programming first.

Actionscript is the programming language (script) used with flash.

Flash develop is aimed at developers who know actionscript.

Flash professional (CS5.5) on the other hand is flash editor/authoring tool that is somewhat more user-friendly in making flash-based apps.

If you have cash to spare, I would recommend getting flash professional (CS5.5) as that is more user-friendly and will give you a quicker grasp on what you want to acheive.

Flash Develop is aimed at people more experienced with flash development and flex programming.

FLASH WINDOW SCRIPT….(NOT SURE WHAT TO CALL IT)?

admin — Thu, 01 Mar 2012 05:01:17 +0000

Question by :
flash window script….(not sure what to call it)?
Well i have a website that you play flash games on, and instead of making a webpage for EVERY game i have, i wanted to make it so you can just click on the icon, and (this is where it gets hard to explain, cause my example site is down for a while!) a tiny box appears in the middle of the screen and it increases in size to the size of the web-browser page, and it is slightly transparent and you can change the color of the window……. if you have an example to show me plz post it!
Yah, i want something like lightbox, but i dont now much code (and i dont make flash games) so i need something simple to customize….

——————————————

Answer by Monkeychubs
You make Flash games but you do not know how to do this ?
Use some JavaScript to open a modal window, google “lightbox” or similar to get the js library for it, but you can have a modal window pop up over the normal HTML page an play movies, flash, show an image gallery or whatever.

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!!!

Answer by mdigitale
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
