As3 - Map/Level help for iPhone + movement

I'm making an app for an iphone using CS5 and was wondering the best way to make a map or a level. I want it to be continuous until the player dies which will bring it to the end game frame. An example would be NinJump for iPhone. You keep going and going until you die.
Then my next question.. I feel stupid asking cause i feel like only i have this problem..whenever I do the hitTestPoint check my character goes through the floor in the middle. I tried changing the registration points but when I put it to the bottom for my character it just does swirls... not move so i kind of changed the code around to make it work but probably wont be best for slopes and stuff.
for (var i:int = 0; i<10; i++) {
if (floor.hitTestPoint(ball.x,ball.y+18,true)) {
ball.y-=gv;
vy=0;
jumped=false;
thanks

Hi, Surendra and Grant,
Thank both of you for help!
I am tring to learn Form Developer. The database and developer suites are installed in one PC. I don't think I am working in web environment.
Except the Mouse Movement Triggers, other mouse trigger work well, such as when_mouse_click, when_mouse_doubleclick.
Any help is very much appreciated.

  • Best way to author field level help for a CHM?

    Hi
    I have been asked to create an HTML help (CHM) system for a .Net application which will include context sensitive help at both page and field level.
    I have used map ids for page level help before - i.e. assigned a map id to topics and given this list to a developer for implementation, but I have never created field level help.
    I've been looking at the 'What's This?' help project wizard but am confused as to whether this is the best approach and how it fits with the project as a whole (or even if it compatible with .Net applications). Does this mean that I need two help projects for the application - one for the main help, and one for the field level help? Is there a way to create field level help without using the 'What's This?' wizard?
    I am using Robohelp 7.
    Any advice gratefully received!

    Hi, Chloe,
    As Peter notes, even Microsoft has backed away from using field-level Help in the last few years, so it may be worth trying to determine whether your users will benefit from having it available to them. That's not to say that you can't deliver field-level Help, however, as all the required methods for calling it are still available to .NET developers.
    To clarify, what Madcap Software calls "DotNet Help" is just a proprietary Help viewer that the company hopes will be more modern and appealing to writers than the older HTML Help (.chm) viewer. HTML Help remains the recommended format for Windows applications, whether .NET or not, and you can use any authoring tool that is capable of outputting a .chm file to create online Help for a .NET application.
    The method that your developers use to call field-level Help determines how it should be authored. If they use the standard .NET method (the SetHelpString method of the HelpProvider class), each text string is embedded in the application code itself, and not retrieved from your .chm file. More information here:
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.helpprovider.sethelpstring(VS .71).aspx
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/821777
    http://helpware.net/mshelp2/demo2/h1xNET.htm
    Alternatively, developers can use the old HTML Help API to retrieve the text string from a .chm file. See:
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms670082(VS.85).aspx
    http://helpware.net/htmlhelp/how_to_whatsthis.htm
    http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=317406
    The drawback of both methods is that the Help popups are plain text only — no graphics, text formatting, hyperlinks, etc. To work around this, some people use the third-party KeyHelp control to create feature-rich HTML popups. See:
    http://www.keyworks.net/keyhelp.htm
    This allows you to deliver the type of Help that you mentioned in your second message ("is there a way to do this so that these topics open in a small popup, without the TOC / tri-pane structure?").

  • Creating Help for Iphone/Android app

    I need to create help for an iPhone and Android app using RoboHelp 10. 
    Which option do I choose for a New Project: Blank Project or Application Help?
    And, which output do I choose under "File > Generate"? I see an option for "Native Mobile App." But, I'm not seeing a "Multiscreen HTML5" option.
    Which file do I give the developer?
    Thanks for your help!

    That's a pretty big question and you haven't given us any clues such as which version of RoboHelp you are using and whether it is just this form of help that is new to you or help in general.
    It doesn't really matter whether you choose Blank Project or Application Help as they are just starters with different default topics and you will be trashing them anyway. For now let's say start with Blank Project and create your topics. You do need to keep in mind they will be viewed on various devices. More about that later.
    When that is done you start thinking about creating a suitable output. Multiscreen HTML5 is the output in RoboHelp 10. RoboHelp 11 was released today and that has a new output, Responsive HTML5. That is simpler, especially first time out. Both of those types are intended for use where they will be viewed via a browser, be that on a desktop or a mobile device.
    It is not clear whether you want your company's app to access help in that way or whether the need is for the help to be an app in its own right. The latter adds another layer of learning. Essentially after creating an HTML5 output, you use the script to create an app. From the questions you ask, I suspect you will need developer assistance with that.
    Start by viewing my page at http://www.grainge.org/pages/authoring/html5/html5.htm where you can download a project with information inside, include some ideas about how to write content.

  • What is the best output page-level help for a thick/fat client software app

    I am looking to do some reorganizing of some help projects here at my new employer.  For the past 10 years, I have only been dealing with web-based apps so all my help has been web help... sometimes page-level, sometimes not.  However, I will need to now convert and/or create new help for a software app that is thick-client style.  I need to know what the optimum output format would be to work best for page-level, thick-client, online help... HELP!
    BTW.. I am currently using RH10 for Windows 7.
    Thanks,
    kb

    The best format depends on your client's situation. Do all client pc's have internet access and can you get a server to host the help? If so, I would go for WebHel/HTML5. That's the easiest to maintain and the client won't have to hassle with installing help.
    If you client doesn't have internet access or you don't have a server, a CHM is quite safe. It works well even though it is an old technology. But keep in mind that if the CHM is located on a network drive, it won't work unless the client is willing to change some security settings.
    Kind regards,

  • Need Help with iPhone movies

    I downloaded a movie through iTunes last night for use with the iPhone 3G and when Sync'd it does not allow it to play. Can anyone help? Do I need to download an App to convert or can I convert this directly through iTunes? I understand that the movie file has to be an MP4 which I believe already is when downloaded through iTunes directly? Please help.
    Also, one more question.. Is there an App out there I could download to make use of a zoom in-out function for the built-in camera in the iPhone? How about recording videos?
    Thanks in advance!

    Do you see the movie in your itunes libary? I believe of you highlight it and right click it will show a option to convert video for ipod (mp4). I have only tried this with my own videos and not anything from itunes.
    If you set you sync options so you have manual control over file management, are you able to click and drag it on to the phone?

  • Easy Set Up for iPhone movies

    Hi kids. How should I set the EASY SETUP for movies I take with my iPhone? The quality is poor, and I wanna get it set right.
    Thanks (in advance) for your help.

    You can't really edit that material in FCE. You can use MPEG Streamclip to convert it to DV, but the quality will not be great.

  • Request help for iphone screen flickering

    I'm using iphone 4. Few days ago (before the software update 6.0.1) i noticed my iphone screen is flickering and blurred.this bug was not fixed after IOS update 6.0.1. Thus showing horizontal lines in the screen.
              please help me

    I did resolve it. I did the reset while the phone was plugged into my computer at home (holding down the home button and power button at the same time, until it shuts down and reboots). It took a few tries but eventually it showed the icon of the plug going into the icon for iTunes.  From iTunes, I did a restore from an older backup, and then reinstalled the update from the computer.  Now it works just fine.  I wonder if maybe the update was just too hefty to pull down via the cellular network.
    If you never did a backup of your phone to iTunes or the cloud, then you'll likely have to do a restore to factory conditions and then do the update.  Incovenient, but better than a paperweight

  • Help for converting .mov HD 1080i to HD DVD 1080i format to play on my DVD player

    HI,
    I have downloaded HD 1080i movie clip from iTunes .
    The Video Clip is a .mov file.  I can play this file on my iMac , but i need to play this file on my DVD player. 
    My DVD PLAYER  do not support the .mov file .  I need some help to convert the .mov file to a DVD format.
    I have tried some free application that converts any format of video to required format. But the converted DVD format is down graded to 480p.
    I need the same 1080i format DVD format when it is converted.
    Please suggest the Application which can convert the .mov file to DVD in 1080i
    Thanks in advance
    Regards,

    DVD Video discs are always standard definition -- 720x480 on NTSC or 720x576 on PAL, otherwise they don't conform to the strict DVD Video specification and won't play in a DVD player.
    If you want HD, you have to make a Blu-Ray disc. You need specialized software for that such as Toast 11 Titanium or Adobe Encore (part of the CS5 or CS6 collection, not sold separately) and a Blu-Ray burner. Of course, you will also need a Blu-Ray player connected to your HD TV.

    No. There are no exchanges or trade-ins. In the US you have a 30 day return policy, if purchased from Apple...14 days everywhere else. If within the return window, return for a refund & then purchase what you want.

  • Hotmail Help for iphone Please!

    I read the discussions regarding Hotmail and decided to pay the $20 a year in order to be able to access Hotmail on my new iphone G3. I had been working fine until just last week. The only thing I can think of that could have changed was that I updated my phone with the new 2.1 software. Could that have changed something? I would really like my hotmail to work again and don't quite know how to resolve it. The settings have not changed, and I can see my past mail, write new outgoing mail but it won't update with new incoming e-mails. Any advice?

    You could try "restoring" your phone and then reinstalling the update. Make sure that everything is backed up (ie contacts, pictures, etc.) by synching your phone with your computer, then under the same synch option in iTunes click restore. Once it has restored your phone to the original settings synch your phone again and everything will be reinstalled on the phone.
    That might help, but no garuntees.
