As soon as they were both old enough they got married with thier new baby. 15 years later and i love both my mom and dad.

Nice emotional appeal there.

if one of our econamys was in trouble the other could help them out.

Nukes aren’t really anything to fall back on unless your goal was to commit genocide on both sides, to be honest.

Topic: Game Programming / Removing references to blur filter

This is to do with deleting things once off screen, and though I haven’t tested it yet, I’m pretty sure most of it is fine except the part where when something goes off screen it gets deleted, and I’m not sure if I’m removing references to the cloud and filters correctly.

package{
	import flash.display.*
	import flash.events.*
	public Class Main extends MovieClip{
		public var clouds:Array;
		
		public function Main():void{
			stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, frameHandler);
		}
		public function frameHandler(e:Event):void{
			cloud(Math.random);
			moveClouds();
			for(var i:int = 0; i<=clouds.length;i++){
				if(clouds[i].x >= 550){
					clouds[i].filters = [];
					this.removeChild(cloud[i])
					clouds[i] = null;
					clouds = clouds.splice(i,1);
				}
			}
		}
		public function moveClouds():void{
			for(var i:int = 0; i<=clouds.length;i++){
				clouds[i].x -= clouds[i].scale*10;
			}
		}
		public function cloud(n:Number):void{
			if(n>0.1){
				public var cloud:Cloud = new Cloud;
				cloud.scaleX = cloud.scaleY = Math.random();
				cloud.speed = cloud.scaleX;
				blur = new BlurFilter(cloud.scaleX*2,cloud.scaleY*2);
				cloud.filters = [blur];
				clouds.push(cloud);
			}
		}
	}
}

24, since that’s the usual point at which the average human eye can’t detect the difference.

Change ‘MouseEvent.CLICK’ to ‘MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER’.

Topic: Serious Discussion / If a Tree Falls in the Forest Does it make a sound?

kirdaiht, you stated, that

Originally posted by kirdaiht:

the sound is made because the air pressure above the tree is lower then the pressure beneath it. this causes wind to blow around the tree and makes a whistling noise.

If I look at your testimony, I can see a clear contradiction!

The sound you describe, is caused by “wind that blows around the tree”, and NOT the falling of the tree!

Therefore, the tree itself, DOES NOT make a sound when falling in a forest!

Yes, I played too much phoenix wright.

You can never play enough Phoenix Wright/Apollo Justice/Whatever. =P

On a serious note, this has turned into the most overly complex debate I’ve seen.

1. American people FAIL (obesity, love of call of duty style games, stupidity, being so intrusive (having military bases in almost every fucking country on Earth) inventing the atom bomb and using it (what bastards),hillbillies…enough said, etc etc)

2. Russian people WIN (turning the tide of WW2 in stalingrad, standing up to the biggest threat to world peace (America), being tough-men (hence why they are all gangsters according to previous posts), the AK-47 and other Kalashnikov variants being the most famous gun in the world.

Obesity – Global problem.
COD – Why is that a bad thing?
Stupidity – I’d say it’s more ignorant than stupid.
Intrusive – Agree’d
Inventing & Using A-bomb – Joint effort by UK, US, Canada, France etc, Plenty of countries have used A-bombs. Just not for War-purposes.

Before you ask, no, I’m not American.

Like that?

Also, by putting the declaration of a variable in a function, it means that it only exists in that function, so you won’t be able to use it anywhere else.

Topic: Game Programming / Artificial Intelligence

I was assuming he was making a side scroller, and you could just give the function an argument and return the x or y according to that.

Topic: Game Programming / This code ends up with error 1084...

Get rid of the semi-colon after “var Score”.
Also, have the “var Score” part outside of the function, and have it say “Score += 20” in the function.

It’s really quite simple.
BTW, my example would require you to make the Flag class yourself, since I have the patience of…me.

Topic: Game Programming / text adventure in AS3 help

Also, instead of using multiple or operators, I suggest using Regular Expressions.
So instead of:

if(i18.text == “look room” || i18.text == “look at room”){

}

Use:

var correctText:RegExp = /^look (at)? room$/

if(correctText.test(i18.text)){

}
