Flash Squares Emergency
Oh man I've been sitting here thinking of a way to do this but I can't think straight. My mind has gone to sleep and I'm panicking. I have a tight deadline of Tuesday to this and with a lot of work still to do I can't seem to get my brain in gear.
Does anyone have an idea how to make squares fly at the screen?
If you think in a movie (a real movie) and think of the user as a camera, I wanna make the squares fly towards the user and then kind of past them (but that won't be shown)?
Is this clear what I'm trying to do?
I was hoping someone had seen a tutorial or something else that may help me. My brain is numb and I'm just making myself angrier and angrier that it won't work.
help....please

Flash Game - Calculating Squares..help
Hi Everyone,
I need a little help with a simple Flash game I need to create and any thoughts would be much appreciated.
I have 10 squares which can be turned into 1 of 4 colors by clicking on them. You choose the color of the square depending on what stage you are at in the program: red if you havent started a certain chapter, green if you have completed it, etc.
After you have set all 10 squares to the appropriate color, you hit submit and depending on the number of red, green, blue and orange squares, you will be taken to the appropriate page for the stage you are at.
Now, there are (I havent actually calculated yet) alot of different possible ways the squares could be colored when you hit submit...5 red, 2 green, 2 blue, 1 orange..etc etc.
Can anyone help with how I would calculate the number of different colored squares and then how to send to the appropriate page?
Anyone do anything similar to this before?
Thx!
PS: Im using Flash 8

Flash Player Shows Vague Squares
this happend to me when I installed Flash 9 or so, don't really remember annymore.
but when I try to watch movies now, I see a vague square around each moving object (I ghues you call them "icons").
annyway, this kind of removes the smoothness of flash, the square is usually a bit lighter coller than the background it is on.
I would like to know a way to fix this and get Flash back to it's original smoothness.

Flash And Focus [emergency]
I have a flash movie that has text input fields in it. the problem is, if I leave the browser, and then come back, flash loses focus (expected). is there ANY way to get focus back to the input fields without having to click on the movie.
I know you have to have to, but I'm hoping one of the genius's out there has gotten around this. I have used javascript to give the window focus,and it is getting it, but the input box cursors will not blink untill you click in the field.
any help would be great
thanks

Flash Form Emergency
I am facing a difficult problem. I have multiple forms within a flash website that are passed to PHP. All works as normal in that regard. However, on 2 of the forms there is a problem which is driving me crazy!!!
The form is normal, input text with variable names and a submit button. The problem is that the variable being passed to PHP includes all sorts of text formatting options, like this (this is the name field, I entered my name and traced the variable and get this result) -
<P ALIGN="LEFT"><FONT FACE="_sans" SIZE="9" COLOR="#000000" LETTERSPACING="0" KERNING="0">Andrew</FONT></P>
On another form in the website there is no problem, the variable passed is clean.
Please help, I have tried everything.

EMERGENCY: Lost Flash Files

SEO Tips For Full Flash Site Please? EMERGENCY
Hi! I am semi-skilled with Flash and HTML and SEO for HTML. A friend got me a job building a website for a lawyer friend of his (let's call him Joe Smith). I showed him some templates, and he fell in love with a full-Flash site. The good news is that I built his site easily using this template and it looks fantastic. He really likes it.
But... I did not know beforehand that search engines are blind to full-Flash sites. And he has voiced his need to see his name indexed well by Google. I have researched this a bit and I now realize that the best solution is to build him an HTML companion to the Flash site, but I can't do it in a short span of time. I feel bad - he's already paid me, but I can't just tell him "I don't know", because my friend's reputation is at stake for recommending me. I need to get this fixed in the next few days. Can someone please explain a simpler way to have Google show his site as a result when a person searches for "Joe Smith"? (note: his web address is www.smithlaw.com)
Thank you so much for your help!

Strange Little Squares
I'm testing an interface in flash mx where user can update his data through cold fusion and access db. Everything works fine exept that i always find little strange square symbols within updated data inside dataBase. So far I wouldn't mind 'cos the user gets his updated data back to the same interface without "squares" (unless it's ã or ê!!-why?). BUT, when it's about changing password of course we have a problem there, 'cos data base actually contains more characters then user has inputed. Thus the access is denied. How to GET RID OF SQUARES !!!!

HitTest Squares
Hello! I am making a game and am having an issue with some hitTests... The main character runs around and theres plenty of things to run into that make him stop using:
Code:
if(_root.player.hitTest(this)) {
if(_root.player._x < this._x) {
_root.player._x = _root.player._x - _root.movespeed;
}
if(_root.player._x > this._x) {
_root.player._x = _root.player._x + _root.movespeed;
}
if(_root.player._y < this._y) {
_root.player._y = _root.player._y - _root.movespeed;
}
if(_root.player._y > this._y) {
_root.player._y = _root.player._y + _root.movespeed;
}
}
^ That code is in the MC he is running into.
The only problem with this is that for non square shapped things... hes running into an invisible square around the odd shaped thing. Is there a way to make the hit test check to make sure he's actually hitting an object and not just the box around it?
Also another problem with that code is that if you hold down the arrow key to keep running into the object he will be pushed up and down along the side.. I can see why it does that but I don't know how to fix it, any ideas?
Thanks
Rotating Squares
Hello.
I would like to create a square (in Flash MX), that rotates on it's X and Y axis when the mouse rolls over it.
Specifically, I would like to have a single colour square (blue for example) and when the mouse touches the left or right side of the square it rotates horizontally, and if it touches the top or bottom, it rotates vertically. I would also like the other side of the square to be a different colour.
I'm sure this is possible, but I have no idea how to do it! Any help would be greatly appriciated.
Thanks

Random Squares Preloader
I'm having issues with this. I am making a preloader in which as it loads, random squares lose their visibility to reveal a picture. I have squares named "clownjewmask1" all the way up to 399. I had this written out and I'm trying to get it so that only squares randomly generated disappear. the "square" variable is a random number from 1 to 399. This is the only line I'm having trouble with:
["clownjewmask"+square]_visible = false;
PixelDissolve With Fading Squares?

Pulsating Grid Of Squares
I'm really having problems with an effect that I think is actually quite simple to do...
In this link:
http://www.vatmanagement.dk/pages/vat.html
I've illustrated what I'm going for. The top 'frame' holds an image over which a grid of squares is suppossed to softly fadein and out at random intervals. I hope the effect is understandable.
My problem is that I just don't know whether to duplicate and place square clips over and over OR place them from the start and somehow give them a random play timer or something. My AS knowledge is somewhat primitve so that's why I come to you guys, hoping for help.
I'm not neccesarily looking for a pure copy/paste script as I'd like to know what it is I'm pasting if you know what I mean...
ANY help is greatly appreciated here. I've searched all the forums I could find, but haven't found what I'm looking for...
Calculating Pixels In Squares
I have a math issue that I have some problems solving.
screen1
screen2
I need to calulate the pixels inside the squares and put them inside an array:
The main square rotates(see screen2) and i have the angle.
Something like attached code.
I have the following values:
- x/y of the main square. ( reference point )
- Width/height of the main square
- Width/height of all the squares
- Angle of main square..
Any ideas how the formular looks?
Thanks in advance!
Attach Code
var square1 : array = new array(150:102,150:103, 150:104,150:105) etc...
var square2 : array = new array(150:302,150:303, 150:304,150:305)etc...
var square3 : array = new array(300:302,300:303, 300:304,300:305)etc...

3)I just places the symbol on an individual layer in my animatin and tested it
any idea of what Im missing?

Squares Transition Effect
Trying to find a tutorial on how to create a transition effect for a slideshow where a series of squares/boxes appear to reveal an image, then transition to the next image in the same fashion. I know I've seen this many times, but can't find a tutorial for it. I guess I could create a series of square-shaped masks, but I was hoping to find something a little cooler that used actionscript to do most of the work. Any suggestions?
Thanks
Breaking Apart Bitmaps And Red Squares
sometimes to save time when im working with PNG's, i place multiple items in one png and break it apart for animation
99% of the time this works fine, but every now and then i find that a few of the tweens or mc's or whatever randomly turn into red squares - the bitmap fill has been replaced with just solid red and its unrecoverable
has anyone experienced this and figured out the cause?
Draw Two Squares And Drag One
Draw two squares and drag one
What i am doing is trying to create a draggable window.
Below is the code to draw and drag a square. This works!
Below that is the code that I put in the Flash to draw two squares.
That also works but here are two questions:
1. The code to draw two squares seems long winded. All i did was duplicate the first part. Can this be simplified?
2. The drag causes both squares to drag which is what i want but i only want the drag to work when applied to the top square and not to the other square.
Is this possible?
Thanks!

Black Squares When I Publish
Hey out there.
Using flash 8 publishing to player 7
The other day i updated my player to flash 9/something. Went back to a project and noticed my bitmaps were having moving black squares apprearing on them - not all just some.
So i republished to player 8 and they went bye bye.
Is this a glitch in the new player? Has anybody else had this trouble? It was suggested by a flashman that i publish to player 7 because there are more of those players on computers, but if publishing down to 7 gets me random black squares...
any help would be a help.
thanks

Complex Colision Detection With Two 'non Squares'
Hi, I have been researching complex collision detection.
The complex detection that I have seen involves a movie clip, whose shape is used to detect a collision with a co-ordinate, be it a mouse or a center point.
I, however would like to use two curvy shapes, and detect if they touch.
Has anyone heard of this, or am I going to have to plot all the points around my shape and do a detection loop....

Passing Variables And Creating Squares
I have a movie in which when you click, a line from the left and top tween to a random spot on the screen and creates 4 squares. I want to fill two of these squares when the lines stop moving. I published the file here:
http://galatea.stetson.edu/~ssabonjo/balance Is there any way I can do this? The two lines are movie clips that randomly pick a new x or y and tween to it. I also have a version where there is a large movieclip that is a crosshair that the whole movie tweens.
I appreciate any help.

Colliding Squares - (physics Related)
Alright. so i am using two images as MC's they bounce around on the stage as if there were balls. (with gravity and walls and all that). I want to have it though so that when they collide into eachother, they act correctly when they bounce off...
anyone coded this before?
heres what i have so far:
my confusion is in the checkCollide() function
Code:
/* NOTE:
@ two squares are named mhead and phead
@ phead starts off the stage and when a button is clicked
it is added
*/
YBOUND = 501;
XBOUND = 700;
bounce = .90;
xground = .6;
xbounce = .8;
ydamp = 1;
gravity = 1;
//---------------
mhead.vy = 0;
mhead.vx = 0;
mhead.onEnterFrame = move;
mhead.onPress = drag;
mhead.onRelease = drop;
//--------------
phead._x = 60+Math.random()*(XBOUND-30);
phead._y = 200;
phead.vy = 0;
phead.vx = 0;

[F8] HitTest For Multiple Instances Of Squares?
What is the best way to create tens of squares that each can detect collisions with each other? Luckily I'm working with squares, so even I have created a hitTest that gets the desired movement in one direction (per collision).
But so far my code is only for two squares, and I'm working toward a grid of maybe 24-35 squares. Most of the squares disappear when a category is chosen, but 7-10 squares remain that grow to fit their now roomier surroundings. Each one would detect collisions with the others and react accordingly.
Searching, I've only found a reference to associative arrays, though it didn't elaborate. I will pursue it further if people think it's the way to go. What is the best format for this?
Here's my work so far within the hitTest. Mostly I'm looking to iterate this to create may of them. But please tell me if you know a better way to do hitTests or see somewhere I'm not using good practices, etc.
var difX = this._x - _root.block2._x;
var difY = this._y - _root.block2._y;
// are the squares more side-to-side than above-and-below?
if(Math.abs(difX) > Math.abs(difY)) {
if (this._x < _root.block2._x)this._x = this._x -_root.BUMPSPEED;
else this._x = this._x + _root.BUMPSPEED;
}
// if objects are more side-to-side
// if this one's left go more left
// else go right.
else{
if (this._y < _root.block2._y) this._y = this._y - _root.BUMPSPEED;
elsethis._y = this._y + _root.BUMPSPEED;
}
// otherwise go up or down
