Coloring Book Game
Would be most grateful if anyone could help with this.
I am trying to create an effect for a game where the cursor takes the form of a paintbrush with different colors when clicked on different coloured paintpots (have started with this for two colours red and blue tho this could also probably be done better).
Then when clicked on the coloring book area, the colour will be applied to the area clicked on ie red brush makes it red, blue brush makes it blue, etc.
Not very wise in the ways of actionscript so can anyone advise?
The fla is attached.

Flash Game Help The Game Runs Too Slow In A Browser
lo there!
I'am so frustrated!

I have made a plattformgame in flash, and after I had published it I tested it (local) when it was embedded in a browser, and it hacks and laggs! But when I play it in the flash player it works just fine.
What should I do?

I removed all the heavy graphics, lowerd the fps to 30fps and removed all the code so now its just the bassis left (gravity, collision, key checking etc. and yes u should bounce on the walls giving a wall jump effect).

Anyone please! I am in big need of help!
Is it my code? Did I publish it wrong?

here are the links:

How To Make A Game Ranking After The Flash Game Is Ended

[F8] Game Studio Needs Flash Game Programmer
Hi -

I've been working on cartoon Flash interfaces for awhile. Now my clients want games, so I'm looking for one or two Flash game actionscripters who can help out and maybe start a studio. Since it's a startup, I'm looking for someone who's good, but not yet making millions - hoping we can do that ourselves eventually. Someone dependable, easy-going and easy to get along with. Would be great to find someone relatively local, but not absolutely necessary.

We'll be creating custom Flash games for an existing client.

Hoping to check out people's games first.

Flash Book?
Hello folks…

What is a good Flash Book? I am new to Flash and I would like one that is pretty in-depth and one that has tutorials on how to achieve popular effects like 2advanced, and all the other fancy popular sites out there.

I recently purchased Studio 2004 and am now trying to learn Flash. I’m tired of using SwishMax.

Flash Book?
Hi all,
I found this book at Amazon called EZ Flash MX . The entire book is basically a bunch of really cool short projects. I mean, no dry reading just a bunch of cool experimental ideas. It is the best book I have found on Flash. The book covered some ActionScript and now I want more. So I am looking for a similar book on ActionScript.

Does anyone know of a project based book on ActionScript? I don't want to read a lot of theory or discussion. I'm looking for a book that has a bunch of cool short projects. I don't know programming but I was able to learn a lot from the EZ Flash MX book. I do not really want to learn "programming." Instead I want a book that has short interesting ActionScript projects that I can experiment with.

I do not know if there is such a book but suggestions are appreciated.

Need A Flash MX 04 Book
Hello,

This seems like a nice forum to ask, please dont flame

I am looking for a good book for Flash MX 2004 that shows how to make flash animations (cartoons more specific). I know the extreme basics, such as where tools are etc. The book should be geared towards newbies

I found this one but not sure if its good or not, it teaches you to make the cartoon on the site i think. http://www.friendsofed.com/books/1590592077/

Price hopefully under $20.

Thanks alot,

Flash MX AS Book
I have a somewhat basic and probably annoying question here. I was wondering if anyone would recommend a good "learning AS" book for MX. I have the animation side down fairly well and can do some beginner AS with it. But I want to learn how to script very well; at least well enough that I could do some pretty significant coding and impressive things with it. I love the tutorials on here and have read a lot of them. But I hate copying and pasting.
I have an education and experience with HTML, Cold Fusion, JAVA, VB, PL/SQL, etc. So with all of that, is there a book that anyone could recommend? Thank you.

Thanks.

Best Flash Book?
I would like to know what is the best flash book to buy overall? I am pretty good with flash but would like to learn more in depth actionscript.

If anyone knows of a good book to try that would be great.

Which Flash MX Book Should I Get?
I know almost nothing about Flash MX but I want to learn. I plan on using Flash MX mostly for animating but for web design as well. (60% animating 40% web design)

Can you guys recommend some books for me?

Try to include the title and the author. An ISDN number would be nice to but I could probably do without it.

Thanks!

Flash Book
Hi all,

I found a book that really got me going with Flash. I pasted the information below.
Flashgirl :)

From the book cover:
40 short exciting projects and over 100 creative ideas. Each step-by-step project is only 2-8 pages which makes it easy to use. Both new and experienced Flash users will be ecstatic!

Here are just a few of the topics covered:
Melting type, solar explosion, Quick and EZ Flash games, Dynamic Photo effects, scripted layer masks, preloaders, motion trials, video capture and compression techniques, using Swift 3D for Flash, scripting 3D graphics, and much more.

The book is EZ Flash MX and is available at Amazon.
