fuck off <3 i don't think the flash player will allow pointers any time soon, so shush :3

well technically speaking, the only things in AS that AREN'T pointers are the base types of 'Number, int, uint, bool' everything else is a pointer essentially which is why this happens:
var a:Array = new Array(1,2,3);
var b:Array = a;
b[0] = 3;
trace(a[0]); //outputs 3 rather than 1, since 'b' acts as a pointer to the same array as 'a' and doing b = a simply copies the pointer, not the array that it points to
only that they are what you might refer to as smart pointers in that you cannot go out of bounds etc.

Well I'm going to bed after this post so I'm quite tired but here goes. I was thinking along the lines of a flash section and then an unanimated drawing section with a few more features which I really am too sleepy to think of/type about right now. By tomrrow I'll probably have forgotten to check for replies so if you like the idea then contact me some way thats convinient for you. (Pm or email if it's still in my sig.) Failing that I'll check the forums.
Then again you might not like the idea... However I can always spurt out more! :)

I tend to be really messy.
setInterval
Over all, I honestly find this inclusion in flash was just a stupid idea, Thats not the only problem, say if you want the interval to happen based on a variable, the interval will run through it's code once every variable value, BUT if you change the variable, the interval's time sequence thing, won't change w/ the variable.
So my point: Don't use set Interval, just use onEnterFrame w/ a function after so many frames have gone by
In your point zrb, I would suggest a code like this...
// Spawn enemys, yada yada
//Once enemies are created, make them into an object ---Example below---
Dod = _root[Ene+i];
//Give Properties to the new Enemy ext. ext.
//This below code is sloppy, bite me =3.
_root["Dod"+i] = new Object();
Zrb = _root["Dod"+i];
Zrb.TimeInt = 0;
//Add that in for the spawning code.
onEnterFrame = function(){
SpawnEnemy();
for(z = 0;z <= i;z++){
_root["Dod"+z].TimeInt ++;
trace(_root["Dod"+z].TimeInt++);
if(_root["Dod"+z].TimeInt == 30){
removeMovieClip(_root["Ene"+z]);
//Or add any other code for the time interval
}
}
}
There ya go.
the purpose of setInterval is to run things at delays that might not be accessible by taking some fraction of your framerate. sometimes you also need a very precise delay - frames don't really let you do that.

You don't really get how ActionScript works even at a basic level, right?
In ActionScript, numbers aren't pointers and there's no way to treat them as such. Thus, if you pass the value of a number variable to a function parameter (e.g. setInterval) it will be the value of the variable passed and not a reference to it.
If you then change the value of the number variable the function parameter won't magically change and call the function again because it doesn't even know the variable has changed, since you just passed the value of the variable to it.
Also, your logic doesn't make sense in your comment that you should always use enterFrame events over intervals. There are different uses of both and you should use what you see fits best for your purpose.

Yeah, but I was helping solve his problems, where my method was needed.
And Rammer, I know that setInterval isn't a bad function, and it's alot better for precise things, but I was just trying to get the point across that for a more 'dynamic' use of setInterval, it's better to just go w/ the method I came up w/.

You know, I'm no retard at AS, but trying things isn't a bad idea, also don't be an asshole.

Ok cool, I gave it a shot, and it didn't work, but flaming someone for trying out a method like that when they NEEDED to have the interval change its 'run time' (or w/e it's called) isn't neccesary, you could've just said,
"Set Interval can still be used for 'less dynamic' actionscript, and the reason why the setInterval doesn't cope well w/ variables is because the value of the variable used in the function parameter doesn't change because it's not a reference to the variable."
But still both methods work, I'm not arguing this, but there's nothing wrong w/ using my method either.

Why? Using enterFrame events is no more "dynamic" than using intervals. If you have 100 FPS an enterFrame event is more or less a function that gets called in intervals of 10ms. And since you can't dynamically change FPS in ActionScript 2.0 I'd say that the setInterval function is more dynamic because you can change how fast you want it to run, no?

Then I would make no sense.
I'm not trying to be an ass but the best way to learn is to question yourself.

Yeah, but you can't change it after that. But then again, I mean dynamic as in being able to change the value at any time.
But you mean dynamic as in being more precise, so I get your point.
I'm just saying there are some times when my method can come into play, thats all.
At 8/18/08 09:53 PM, DawnOfDusk wrote: Yeah, but you can't change it after that.
More than you can change FPS. I mean, it's just to recall the function when you want to change the speed of execution for it.
And it's just one simple line of code so it's no more biggie than, for example, changing a delay propertie of a Timer object in AS3.
interval = setInterval( function, 1000 );
interval = setInterval( function, 500 );
timer.delay = 1000;
timer.delay = 500;
That's my view of being more "dynamic".
Also, for the purpose you're using enterFrame events, it can be just the same achieved with intervals with roguhly the same code. You can have an interval of 33ms (30 FPS) and up a number variable just as much as you can with enterFrame events.
in AS2, you can just clear the interval and then reinstate it with a different timer.

Ew... well I didn't know that... and now I do =D
Sry for the troubles and stuffz, and thanks for the knowledge.
Really sry for the double post, but I don't got AS3, so I'm not sure whether or not the setInterval can have it's timer swtiched that easily (not on computer w/ flash atm)

No. Okay let's end this discussion for once and for all. First, one example of you spamming is you writing a 1 liner post saying " we are supposed to be productive ?". Now if that wasn't you then it was the other guy i can't remember which of you posted what spam, if only Luis wouldn't have destroyed the evidence.
Now about me not being a reg, and only posting 5 times. My first post in the lounge dates to about page 215 at least that what i remember. I came here regularly a lot before the lounge was even started by Luis. before the flash showcase thread was started and even before this was opened http://flashregs.net/bbs/index.php?&CODE =00. Did you ever even heard about the flash reg forum ? I remember that this forum was so popular that they opened a forum inside it that only regs were allowed. and i wasn't allowed lol...Thanks Rammer for remembering me lol =]. So to conclude this i am a reg and you are a spammer. Don't even reply to this because from now on i am not going to read your posts here for awhile and i am not worried about you spamming now that the lounge is moderated full time..

flash inspiration
now to my related topic some artistic and animation style seeing that you coders are taking over the lounge ..
1. what flash sites gives you big inspiration or you think is amazing
2. the same for artist from newgrounds
3. same for flash TV or Internet series

Yeah, this will prolly be considered useless spam but w/e. I love the way the store turned out.
It was obvious that the NG staff sat down for more than just a few hours to plan this whole idea out.
I just hope to see the NG chat next, even though I believe (from what Tom said on the 'OMG STORE OMG') they're going to fix the NG mag next.

Yeah, I'm in the same position. It must be a US thing :s
Kirk, if you're getting in touch with Bob then I'll vouch for the fact that Maestro's working on pretty much all UK/Europe based sites.
The stores looking pretty cool. Hopefully Newgrounds will make a bit of cash out it anyways. I'll buy something as soon as the paypal option is released or when I finally get round to getting a card...
By the way what do you guys prefer: Classes or Hand code?
