Fucking weird, I know someone who just got back from France aswell....
This is started to piss me off :(
My PC throws a continous beep everytime I try and boot. This happened a while ago, but after leaving the case open, and parts everywhere (I was too lazy to put it together and tidy up), I decided to try and get it working. I put it all back and it worked perfectly.
After some googling I deducted it was either a RAM error, or the gfx card. I just tried 3 different gfx cards -_-
Why the fuck did it fix itself before and now decides to fuck up again?
Piece of shit

Is it alright to have multiple enterFrame events if they are in different classes, and by removing the event listeners only one runs at a time?

Are you saying you add and remove event listeners every frame?

The way i do it atm is push things into an array and loop through that array in a function which is run by an enter frame event. Keeps the number of events down to a minimum and so far i've seen no repurcussions.

You could if you'd get on Skype.
At 9/6/10 04:53 PM, Deadclever23 wrote: Are you saying you add and remove event listeners every frame?
No, I just have a few different enterFrame functions, one to a class. Depending on what is being done in my game I have one running and I have all of the listeners removed from the others.
Trust me Sam...
I think Chick, Dep, Arch, and , Mike have the hot ticket. The custom class + loop through array + update function, should step things up a bit speed wise, and it's not that scary. The individual enterFrame thing is masochism.
:]
Oh and plus, if you are using lots of frame listeners, it becomes practically impossible to control which things should get updated before others.
#include <stdio.h>
char*p="#include <stdio.h>%cchar*p=%c%s%c;%cmain() {printf(p,10,34,p,34,10);}";
main() {printf(p,10,34,p,34,10);}

addEventListener(event, function, use capture, priority);
But yeah it's a bad idea. I only use enterFrame on game class and on classes which I want to be fully segragted from the game class. I like to have game classes and ui classes separate and I like to make sure that, other than accessing variables, they don't call functions on each other and whatever.

I know how to do it, what I meant to say is that it becomes impossibly impractical.
#include <stdio.h>
char*p="#include <stdio.h>%cchar*p=%c%s%c;%cmain() {printf(p,10,34,p,34,10);}";

This reg lounge needs to get back to its former glory! Let's have a serious discussion about Flash which doesn't exclude animators (Luis)!
...any ideas?

Let's look at some topics:
What version of Flash do you use?
What are you currently working on?
Flash vs. HTML5
Flash vs. something else
Flash on various mobile devices
The whole South Korea licensing thing
Oh, that last one looks like quite a serious discussion. And yes, it does also apply to Flash games as far as I'm aware.
Doomsday-One, working on stuff better than preloaders. Marginally.
Flash vs. HTML5
The Arcade Fire HTML5 thing crashed my computer. That's problematic. I'm not a fan of their music, the visuals could have been executed better in Flash, it wants your addy, and a partridge in a pear tree.
The integration with Google Maps was interesting, but buggy as all hell. HTML5 has some real promising possibilities, but it has a long way to go to get there.
and now for something completely different.
And yes, I miss the code-shy animator types in here. It keeps things interesting.

CS4.

Absolutely nothing.
Flash vs. HTML5
HTML5 will replace Flash on sites like YouTube but will not replace it wholesale.
Flash vs. something else
Silverlight FTL!
Flash on various mobile devices
iPhones 4eva!
The whole South Korea licensing thing
They love it out there. Video games that is, it's like religion to them, the crafty little devils.
Does anyone use or know about puremvc? Or use something similar as in a model view controller framework. I've been looking into it, but I'm not sure if I should use it, or completely how to use it at this point.

Just a small game, don't know if I'll ever release it. I'm also working with particles and I'm considering starting a little work with mics/webcams
Flash vs. HTML5
HTML5 is better for somethings, such as video and simple photo-galleries. I doubt it will ever replace flash, and if it does it won't be for years, maybe not until HTML6 :/
Flash vs. something else
I dislike unity. It lags a lot on my computer. I like the browser game kingdom of loathing, which is built entirely in simple HTML, php, and mySQL. I don't like internet java. It seems to run like 1000000x slower than flash and HTML5
Flash on various mobile devices
I'd really like to get started on Android, with flash player 10.1.

I feel uniformed :(

Luis doesn't seem to have the time to discuss stuff with us non-admin people now days.

Pico Plinko/NG Themed Halloween Game (Hans Van Harken as the writer)
Flash vs. HTML5
I have hardly input on the situation other than I'm open for new things as long I can switch back to Flash whenever I want.
Flash vs. something else
I dunno lol.
Flash on various mobile devices
Flash on Android was a disappointment... Atleast sound on the AP works fine.

It's not right, having to rate a game that isn't being commercially distributed.

CS3 (I remember when using a version with AS3 in it made me cutting edge :p)

A game about airship pirates.

HTML5 seems more suited towards practical things like YouTube videos et c. I doubt Flash will disappear entirely.

Nothing wrong with a little competition to break Adobe's monopoly :p
Flash on various mobile devices
Never really looked into it... last time I did was yeeears ago when what mobiles had Flash only suppotted AS1.

A game with nuns, zombies and JordanD.

They both seem to have their uses.

If I had a flash compatible phone I'd like to give making a game for it a try. But I don't so I can't.

Shameless Self Promotion
Please check out or help promote the new Collab101 account where necessary... thank-you.
Haha, I meant choose one topic guys, not answer them all at once!
Still, this works too, I guess.

Well, this link may work for you.
In short, South Korea rating board demands that all games, be they commercial or freeware, are rated (as in age rating; 3+, 12+, etc.). This comes with a hefty fee: if you're making a small (<10MB) educational game localised to Korea, you have to pay about $17.50. Make an RPG just above 10MB, with plans to make it localised to somewhere outside of Korea, and it'll cost you about $78.50, even if it's free to download.
This has already happened to things like RPG-Maker games, with several people on a community website unable/unwilling to pay the fee, so moderators were forced to remove their games. They're also chasing up Android and Steam about it, apparently demanding money for each individual game, and they're blocking foreign websites refusing to pay the fee.
This may eventually come to us Flash developers, or the websites which host our games. Perhaps animators won't get attacked, though I wouldn't say they are in the clear either.

A game that has to do with cannons and a bottomless pit, and another game that has destructible terrain and will be multiplayer.
#include <stdio.h>
