MSN Chess | Hmm Strange | How Did They Do That | Maybe A Tough One?
Hi,
MSN chess is a great online chess game made with macromedia flash when you go there, they ask you to download an activex control to be able to play the games.
Now this is very strange, I wanted to see those swf files offline in my cache but its impossible and I am unable to locate them, I have seen cab files and some swf's but these swf have nothing to do with the actual game. So my question is are the swf's embeded inside these cab files??? and if so how did they do that or how are they able to extract the swf in memory and not to the user's cache and still allow him to view and play the game?
you can check it out here, you will need to have a normal hotmail account to login.
http://zone.msn.com/en/chess/default.htm
so can someone please explain how this activex control the we have to download allow this to happen? or I am missing something?
Thanks in advance

Chess Game
I started to do a chess game.
I've drawn the figures and the board.
The figures are moved like this:
There is a button inside each movie clip of a figure that does this:
code: on (press) {
startDrag("_parent", true);
}
on (release) {
stopDrag();
}
My questions are:
1. How do I define the legal moves?
2. How do I make that when the figures are released, they snap to the center of the square?

Chess Board
I'm just trying to construct a chess board, using one square movie clip which has two frames labelled, black and white.
The code i have now returns the board but all the squares are black, can anyone help.
code:
makeBoard();
function makeBoard(){
var row, col, name, mc, count=1, colStat, rowStat;
for(row=0; row<8; row++){
for(col=0; col<8; col++){
// loops used to iterate code 64 times
name = "board" + row + "_" + col;
// constructs instance names for pieces
duplicateMovieClip("square", name, count++);
//adds new square
mc = eval(name);
//asigns instance name
if(col % 2 == 0){
colStat = "even";
}else{
colStat = "odd";
}
//checks if the column number is even
if(row % 2 == 0){
rowStat = "even";
}else{
rowStat = "odd";
}
//checks if the row number is even
if(colStat != rowStat){
mc.goToAndStop("white");
}
//all white squares have one odd number and one even, so if the two don't match set the piece to white
mc._x = col * 45 +36;
mc._y = row * 45 +36;
//aligns pieces
}
}
}

Chess Problem
I only need the idea, not the actionscript.
I have a n*n chess board and a knight (chess knight). The knight has to move to all of the squares without touching one two times so that it will, in the end, cover all of the board. Any ideas ?

Chess Puzzle Problems
Hello,
I'm new to this forum and quite new to the Actionscript programming language. I've got some experience programming in PHP and Java though.
The reason why I post here, is that I'm trying to make this Chess Puzzle game in Flash and I've encountered some problems.
So, why not ask the Experts here?
Description:
This is a brief idea how the game will work:
1. When the game starts, the boards is drawn using a for-loop.
I got graphic symbols named white_square.gif and black_square.gif.
Each sqaure is given an exact x,y coordinate, so that
a1 = 50,500 (white square)
a2 = 100, 500 (black square)
a3 = 150, 500 (white square)
etc.
b1 = 50,450 (black square)
Mayby the positions could be read from an array?
There are 8 rows and 8 columns total - 64 Squares. Each row start with the opposite color, f.instance a1 - white square, b1 - black square. c1 - white square
Q: How do I code this?
2. After the board is drawn the different pieces are inserted on top of the board.
I've made transparent Movieclips of all the Black and White pieces -
King, Queen, Rook, Bishop, Knight and Pawn.
Each movieclip should be placed on top of one of the squares - f.instance place the white Queen on top of Square a7, then place the Black king on h8 and so on..
Q: How can I solve this issue and how do I copy a movieclip from the Library and place it on the scene?
3. I would like to save the position of all the pieces in a textdocument.
Q: How can I load the this information from the textdocument and use it to place the pieces correctly?
4. When the pieces are placed correctly it should be possible to move all white pieces (black pieces are standing still).
However, only one piece is the "correct" piece to move, the others are false.
The "false" movieclips should contain #include "Move_rules.as"
"move_rules.as" contain StartDrag("") and on(release) -> go back to original position.
The "correct" (or true) movieclip however, should include code to check if the piece is moved correctly from one squre to another - f.instance Rook H2 to Rook H8.
Q: How do I code this?
If the rook is moved to the correct square, H8, then a Motiontween should be triggered on a black piece - f.instance the Black King.
Q: How do I copy a Movieclip from the Library, place it on an exact position and use Motiontween to move it to another position?
After the Black King has moved, white once again can move his pieces, but this time the "correct" piece to move is another piece - like the Queen.
I'm trying to save the piece_positon and piece_moves into tables on a MySql database, but first I want to check it out with textfiles.
Hope you can help.

here's the link http://wickedgoodgames.com/flash3/chess.html
could i use something similar ?
the basic difference between this game and normal chess is
that the nature of the game is not one of attacking but of helping eachother
(i'm at present working (writing) on some form of play (story) where "WAR IS OVER" and the two clans are invited to a wedding (hence they need to get there as soon as possible)
my initial idea was (still is)to play the game with coloured lights (additive colour)when for example (in the theatre)you shine red+blue+green toghether on the stage it will make white. so having 2 opposites would make a white light(RIGHT MOVE)), while for example green and red would create just another colour (-yellow) so (WRONG MOVE)
the players need to find their opposite colour ( that could be made easy or difficult)+ you can change the whole setup
over the years i have been applying different forms how this game could be played
(for example the game with the carpets i made with the help of a whole village in india and works on the same principle- finding their opposite player) same as the other game with the coloured squares . i also used numbers to make it a bit easier to understand (opposite players need to make nr "7")
the moves used are exactly the same as in chess (horse,bishop,etc...)

Making Chess Puzzle In Flash
Hi guys!
I'm pretty new to Flash, but I love chess and would like to make chess puzzles in Flash to get more familiar with the program. I've looked in my CS3 book and browsed google for tutorials, but didn't find any on chess. Then I figured that maybe some nice people at these forums would help me out!
I have a board and my pieces, and I imagine it like, say, 4 squares will be highlighted, and then the user can drag a chess piece onto any of them, but only one will be right (the others produce failure messages). Then when they find the right square, I make the game make a move, and then they have to find the next move, then the game moves, and then they have to find the mating move.
Frankly, I don't know what to type in my actionscript for this to happen.
Help me out a bit?
Thanks, Carina

Newbie - How To Create Chess Game?
Hi there,
I am a newbie who don't know a thing about scripting... However I want to create a simple board game with no AI. It will be as simple as the player will click on the empty area to make a black seed appear, on the next click it will turns white, then on the next click it will turn empty.
Original board:
+++++
+++++
+++++
+++++
Click once:
+++++
+++++
++B++
+++++
Click again:
+++++
+++++
++W++
+++++
Click again:
+++++
+++++
+++++
+++++
Click click click click....

++BB+
+BBB+
++B++
Click click ....
+++++
++BW+
+BWB+
++B++
Click ....
+++++
++BW+
+B+B+
++B++
i hope you can understand from the draft above... Thats mean the game does not need to process all the rules in the game, but the player will play the game with the rules he knows.
Please help!

'you know, if we could get an online wireframe house modeler, where people could construct a wireframe model of their house (from a plan, off course) and render it with selectable bricks patterns etc, that would be a really cool service we could offer'
i straight away thought of flash and swift3d...
'hmm', i said, 'ill get back to ya on that one'
Well, what are your thoughts...can it be done..?? remembering i am only about 3 months old in the flash world & 0 days in the swift3d world

ok here is my problem
i am calling a function using setinterval after some interval . that interval is variable .. i mean that it changes .. so here is the catch .. i want the function to be called according to the value given to the setinterval but my setinterval does'nt work and refresh interval remains the same even if i change the value of the interval like this
///////////////frame1//////////////
lapse=6000;
function timer() {
if (lapse == 6000) {
lapse = 12000;
} else if (lapse == 12000) {
lapse = 6000
}
//////////////frame2//////////////
setInterval(timer, lapse);
trace("interval called " add lapse);
but every tiem the interval remains the same instead of changing . so any have any idea about changing it dynamicallly at runtime please tell me it's very very important for me.

I want to be able to have the user press a button and have either a
outside .swf or a movie exported from the library open up in a
window, which is no problem.
The problem comes when I want to take that window that pops up that I
have set to be draggable, to be drug to a printer icon and print out.
The main file is a projector file located on a CD and will be used by
multiple people on multiple machines.
Is there a way to detect the printers hooked up to the users machine
and connect to one of them so when they drag the window into the
icon, it prints????????????????????

TOugh One, I Think
Ok
First off, im using Flash MX
Now i have a listbox that has the list of stores, and when someone clicks it loads the function and displays the information properly. Now i need it to show a picture of each item also. Any way to do this? They are JPG's
Do i need to import them as symbols first? Or can i have them files? (to save the file size of the script) also with that, can I have a preloader for each image? The file sizes are quite large some of them upwards of the MB. ANY INFORMATION ANYONE GIVES ME IS VERY WELCOME AND WANTED.
Thank everyone in advance for your assistance. I try to help anyone i can too, but im still kinda new at this hehee.
THanks and have a nice day.
Edit:
Also, the images need to be loaded in place of eachother. I have a box there now. I need the box to be replaced by a picture. Thats why i was wondering if i need ot make the pictures into symbols so that i can do a swap function, or can i have the images loaded from files with a preloader and still use the swap function some how.
Thanks again, i know im a pain in the ass heh.

Ok This Seems To Be A Tough One
hello, thanks already for all your help...
i want: feet (Mc=feet) to walk across my screen. its for a screensaver. the mc should start at a random position with a random direction BUT always outside the screen. The MC should not start walking out of nowhere in the middle of my screen.
so far i have those MC's duplicated and used this script:
actionscript:
for (i=0; i<1; i++) {
this._rotation=Math.floor(Math.random() * 1024) - 100;
this._y=Math.round(100+Math.random()*1024);
this._x=Math.round(100+Math.random()*256);
this.duplicateMovieClip("movie"+i,i);
}
the problem here is that the movies clips rotate arround the center of the mc which stays at the same position all the time.
maybe you can see a better solution for me to make it really randomized.. and to randomized the MC center inside the screen and the start of the MC outside the screen,.,.

Tough One This........?
I have customised a menu I downloaded from this site, but need it to react to changing imported variables. Basically it’s going to be a main menu for an elearning course that needs to update to show the user has finished that particular topic. So if a user views the menu and decides to have a look at Section 3 Topic 1, when they are returned to the menu on completion the section 3 menu will be open and a little tick will appear next to that topic. Is this possible? See attached file.
Any response is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

This Is A Tough One
Hi Everyone, I have no idea where to post this question but it is definitely a technical problem.
I have uploaded my new site to my new unix based host and it does not work (ie some pages do not load....sometimes the home page doesn't load) It happens inconsistently too so it is impossible to test.
I also have the same EXACT site on two windows servers and it works fine.
Here is the unix server: www.creativecircusco.com
Here are the windows servers:
www.carlyncerniglia.com/creativecircus/
www.troyburke.com/creativecircus/
What would cause a site to work fine on one host and fail on another. The only differences is that one is unix and the other is windows and in one the site is at the root level and another it is one level down.
thanks

Movieclip.prototype.openWinCentre = function (url, winName, w, h, toolbar, location, directories, status, menubar, scrollbars, resizable) {
getURL ("javascript:var myWin; if(!myWin || myWin.closed){myWin = window.open('" + url + "','" + winName + "','" + "width=" + w + ",height=" + h + ",toolbar=" + toolbar + ",location=" + location + ",directories=" + directories + ",status=" + status + ",menubar=" + menubar + ",scrollbars=" + scrollbars + ",resizable=" + resizable + ",top='+((screen.height/2)-(" + h/2 + "))+',left='+((screen.width/2)-(" + w/2 + "))+'" + "')}else{myWin.focus();};void(0);");
}
Can someone help me dicipher this?
I understand the parameters:
url - web address location
winName - a provide name
w - self explainitory
h- ""
the rest
toolbar, location, directories, status, menubar, scrollbars, resizable...
I'm not sure about these...
and could someone help me come up with an example code to call this function.. Just trying to understand.

Here's A Tough One For You
Howdy!
Im farely new to flash and need a little guidence!
Im using Flash MX 2004 Professional to build a website showing a portfolio of work. I seem to be doing ok so far but I just can't seem to figure this out, yet it seems so simple!!
Imagine a timeline with keyframes on frames 1, 5, 10 and 15.
Now, frames 1-5 contain a motion tween for an object. Frames 10-15 also contain a motion tween for a new object. Everything between these two motion tweens is blank.
How do I make the movie play frames 1-5 and then jump to frame 10 to continue playing, missing out frames 6-9?! The catch is I can't have any actions in the main timeline otherwise that would be too easy! I'ld like to place a button in frame 1 which this action will apply to.
It's kind of like a gotoAndPlay but more of a playandGoto action attached to a button! Is this possible and really simple to do or am I just crazy?!!!
Remember, if you figure this out for me you can crown yourself a legend!!
I'll send you a tin foil crown through the post with some paper gems stuck to it!!
Cheers!
PS. Ive attached an example file of what im on about, this may help explain things a bit more.

Now Here's A Tough One.....
I put all my buttons in one menu, and I have this problem. Everytime the path level changes - like for example from index.html it goes to pictures/index.html - the buttons fail to find their page.
So I was wondering, is there a way for the buttons on the menu to search which path is currently loaded on the browser and somehow use the " if " command or something to tell them that if this path is loaded, follow this link and if the other path is loaded follow the other link?
Cause at this point the way I see it I'm supposed to keep changing the links each button follows for every different path and that also means the users are supposed to load a different menu all the time and that kinda sucks for me

Here's A Tough One
Is there any possible solution that will enable me to stream shoutcast from flash? I though it would be kinda nifty to have one on my site. But I think there is a issue with the latest version of the flash player and of course active x in explorer.
Basically the simple code is this:
s = new Sound();
s.loadSound ("url.of.shoutcaststream:5003",true);
I'm not too sure what can be down. But I'm hoping there's a work-around to get it going.....

Please Help...a Tough One
Hi Guys,
I really hope somebody can help me with this one....
I have a site with an index page, index page has an i-frame, i-frame loads in other html content pages... ( bare with me...)
Those html contents pages, load in flash objects using the SWFObject.js...
As follows:
<script type="text/javascript" src="swfobject.js"></script>
then...
<script type="text/javascript">
var so = new SWFObject("gallery.swf", "gallery", "900", "520", "8", "#ffffff");
so.write("flashcontent");
</script>
So thats all good and works perfectly....
Now I want to implement a shopping cart, I have chosen e-junkie (which does everything I need and really like the stlye of the cart. This cart uses flash...you might be beginning to get my problem....
When I implement the cart using the script they supply from the site, it looks to me as if the cart flash object is appearing behind my flash object (gallery.swf).
E-junkie recommends this:
"I am using Flash on my site and the cart is showing under it.
Add the following parameter to the OBJECT tag:
<param name="wmode" value="transparent">
Add the following parameter to the EMBED tag:
wmode="transparent"
If you are using a JavaScript function to embed your Flash, then you will need to refer it's documentation to see how to embed the Flash movie such that it's transparent."
My problem is that I am not sure, where to implement this fix i.e in my code or in the SWFObject.js (if its in the .js file I am lost!!), this code was recommended thru somebody on this forum and is great, but above my knowledge really!
If I get this working then I can finally be happy with the site and move on!
I know this is an epic and I apoligise. Please, Please, Please help!
---Ok so cant upload HTML of .JS files so gonna just paste in here...sorry.

A Tough One
Ok, I work as a web designer for a local company and we do work for the Agricultural industry. That said, here's the problem. My boss has a flat panel monitor.... those thin things that will eventually replace all the bulky monitors. Anyway, whenever I do a fade in Flash... alpha tween... his monitor shows the image moving... it looks like its "breathing" or like an "accordian". This happens at the beginning and end of each faded graphic, movie, etc. On every other screen I have viewed, the animations look perfect. Anyone familiar with this?

HitTest Help--a Tough One.
I want to conduct a hitTest between one movie clip (A) and several instances of another movie clip (B). But Flash does not seem to want me to do this. It takes only one instance of the movie clip (B) and disregards the rest. How do I get Flash to recognize the hitTest between movie clip (A) and all instances of movie clip (B)? Thanks.

A Real Tough One
I wanted to make a scrolling marquee that will update itself from a text file (for that I had to make a circle frame and over it a filled circle as a mask to make the text
appear whithin the frame)
there is only one problem....
I've noticed that the mask can't handle dynamic text and it just ignores it!
Is my diagnosys true?
If it is is there a way to bypass the problem like by making a script tha brakes up the letters into images
(maybe there is a command)?
please help!
this is very urgent
I made a front frame and a background and between them the text
but it allows me a text height as the frame X 2(top+bottom)
plz plz plz
