Topic: Programming / Removing From An Array?

if you wnat to find the index of an object, just itterate through the array and test

Or just use the function indexOf.

 var thisIndex:int = array.indexOf( this ); 

Topic: Programming / Can I...?

You could use the function removeChildAt to remove all of your Objects. To see if you have any Objects left, use the property numChildren.

example:

while (stage.numChildren > 0) {
  stage.removeChildAt( 0 );
}

Topic: Technical Support / wrong Icon Size

What it looks like now:

And the original Image i’ve uploaded before ( 100*75 )

The image gets slightly scaled down ( to 99*74 ) and then cropped to the size of 93*74.

Or is the Upload Game section outdated?

JPG, GIF, or PNG format. 100×75px or larger

edit i tried it with FireFox and Opera. Both have the same size of 93*74.

Topic: Technical Support / wrong Icon Size

i’ve noticed it since the game icons were blurred.

Oh… and in the profiles the since is wrong too. Seems like an overall issue.

Topic: Technical Support / wrong Icon Size

On “Latest Games” page the size of the game Icons is wrong. They are resized down to 93*74 pixel.

On other pages ( like Frontpage ), they have the wrong size too.

Topic: Programming / Is there a Flash IDE upgrade

Yes, FlashDevelop has all this features.

Topic: Kongregate / Where Is IT Going?!?!?!

My games are exclusive to Kong and they DO have the KongAPI. But the AdRevenue dropped since yesterday to 49%

In all the games the API works fine, i’ve Scores on the Scores Tab.

edit thx for answer

Topic: Technical Support / Ad Revenue dropped

To make it short:

I’ve noticed that the % share of one of my games dropped to 49. (yesterday was 50)
I didn’t change anything in the settings.

Topic: Programming / AS3 timeline control

but that just gives me a compiler error

which one?

i didn’t try it, but maybe it should work with this:

  (parent as Stage).gotoAndPlay();

  (parent as MovieClip).gotoAndPlay();

remember: do NOT use underlines in front of parent.

You could try:

  stage.gotoAndPlay();

But i’m not sure if it would work.

Topic: Programming / action script falling snow

replace line 7 with this:

   addChild(Snowflake, 0);

Topic: Kongregate / Suggestions

I was wondering, can we have something like a megaphone, to shout through all the channels. That means EVERY player can hear it.
1) You turn in a number of your points for a megaphone; e.g. 100 points for 1 megaphone.

sry, but very bad idea.

example:

if i want to spam, i make an new account. launch games like Monster Den and load my savegame → get a lot of points. purchase the megaphone and can start shouting.

2) Games get an extra reward; instead of Card Challenges and Badges, you can now win megaphones!

in most cases i could use my savegame.

Topic: Programming / [Kongregate API] AS3 API Integration

It would be nice if the API had a Disconnect() function.

Asked few months ago.

Something like that was rejected because it’s senseless. The cheater would make a Screenshot and get the badge.

Topic: Kongregate / Whats up with kong, is it being updated?

only 16k player online….

yesterday we had 24k and the server was fine.

so it isn’t increased traffic/to much visits.

Topic: Kongregate Labs / Wait just a second... CS4 is out?!

Then why the hell is the guide using CS3?

Then the shootorial was made ( july 2008 ), cs4 wasn’t released.

Topic: Kongregate / Upload Game - Additional files

so, kongregate extract the zip file after i upload it and put all the files into my game folder?
that’s nice.

thx.

Topic: Programming / Could someone help me with my game?

if you use flash cs3just press f1 and search for timer.

you will find a “timer class”
at the bottom of that class is an example how to use the timer.
what king talked about is using EnterFrame-Event. Since it is depended on the fps, i suggest the timer class.

Topic: Kongregate Labs / Asking the user to enter their name example?

You could use Kong-name instead.

Use the KongApi to read the name.

Topic: Kongregate / Upload Game - Additional files

do i need to extract the zip file in my game file?

Topic: Kongregate / Upload Game - Additional files

Can i upload more then 1 additional file? ( 1 Game File + 2 other Files ).
Or will the last one be replaced with new one?
( Like, if i upload first a abc.jpg and then cde.jpg, do i have both files avaible from my game? )

The other question i have… Is it possible to delete an uploaded additional file?

Topic: Kongregate Labs / Error in my code? My ships explode when they fire a missile

Since you copied you Missile … did you copy hitTest too?

If you check hitTest of Enemy Missile with Enemy Ship and you shoot from inside of the enemy ship → hitTest is true and the ship explode.

Topic: Kongregate Labs / How many competitors are there?

Can a game be renamed after it is uploaded?

No.

Topic: Programming / Help - Adding Movieclip On Click

since your wall is on the stage (i guess), try “stage.addChildAt()” with different depths.

Topic: Programming / Help - Adding Movieclip On Click

Use the function “addChildAt()”

Topic: Programming / Updating Map problem. /AS3/

What line is the error?

You don’t need to set the Array to a 2D Array. Flash do it for you.
But if you really need a clear 2D Array, use this code:

var myTiles:Array = new Array();
for ( ... ){
  var myTiles2:Array = new Array();
  for ( ... ){
    myTiles2[j] = new Tile( ... );
    myMap.addChild(myTiles2[j]);
  }
  myTiles[i] = myTiles2;
}

And you don’t need to import the class Array.

I suspect, it’s the line with the new Tile-constructor.
do you saved the changes in the AS file?
