Help making a Spot The Difference game

Hi!
Im pretty new at Actionscript 3.0 and I have to make a Spot The Difference game for school.. Now I followed a tutorial, but it's in AS 2.0 and I really cant get it to work in AS 3.0. Also, the tutorial isn't complete, so is there anyone that can help me any further with the code ?
Here's the tutorial I followed:
http://www.flashperfection.com/tutorial ... rence-Ga...
Thanks!

The link in the first post doesnt seem to work, so I hope it works now:
http://www.flashperfection.com/tutorials/Create-a-Spot-the-Difference-Game-63139.html
The code in the game Mc is:
var differences:Number = 3;
var found:Number = 0;
function addDifferences(thisSide, otherSide) {
for (var i = 1; i<=differences; i++) {
var difference = thisSide["dif"+i];
difference.useHandCursor = false;
difference.found = false;
difference.otherSide = otherSide["dif"+i];
difference.tabEnabled = false;
difference.onPress = function() {
if (!this.found) {
this.play();
this.otherSide.play();
this.found = true;
this.otherSide.found = true;
found++;
if (found == differences) {
found = 0;
levels.play();
and then on left side:
_parent._parent._parent.addDifferences(this, _parent.rightSide)
and on the right side:
_parent._parent._parent.addDifferences(this, _parent.leftSide)

How to create a simple spot the difference game

Hi everyone. I'm new to the forums and relatively new to flash, so bear with me
I'm looking to do a very simple spot the difference game using flash CS3 and actionscript 2 for a school project.
As it stands, I have 2 images on separate layers on a timeline in the same frame, which has been paused using the 'stop' command. I am looking to have around 4 differences that, when clicked, will be recorded at the bottom of the screen.
The problem is, I am unable to find a way to get the differences recorded at the bottom in the order the user finds them, where each one is entered when the user clicks it, leaving gaps for those that haven't been found.
Being only a basic user, I am only familiar with scenes and basic timeline controls, and i'm hoping there's a relatively simple way of achieving this. However I am perfectly comfortable with using more complex actionscript, having done some programming before.
Thanks in advance,
Laurence

Thanks so much for all your help
Just one last thing about the 'if' script you gave me, what do i replace 'somemovieclip' with if I've already definied the movie clips I want to be monitored? Also, do I put that script on the frame? If not, where? It just doesn't work properly at the moment (skips straight to the completion frame even though the movie clips are hidden at the start) and i'm not sure about those things ^
Sorry to be of more trouble

Spot the Ball game - help needed

Hi there.
I have been asked to create a "spot the ball" game. The user
gets 3 goes at placing their cross on an image of a soccer match
with the ball removed. I would like the appplication to be able to
convert the 3 x & y co-ordinates into either a 'HIT' or 'MISS'
value. When they have their 3 goes, they then get the option to
send their name & email address (with the HIT or Miss variable
passed) to enter the cometition.
I've never created this type of thisng before so I wondered
if anyone may be able to point me in the right direction to some
source code/tutorial that I may be able to adapt.
Many thanks,
Tony Mead

make the ball's location a hotspot by adding a (transparent)
movieclip over that location. you can then use an onMouseDown
handler to check if there's a positive hittest between your
movieclip and the mouse.

An anyone help me to find the difference and relation between the following

Hi,
can anyone help me to find the difference and relation between the following methods of Swing :
a) validate()
b) invalidate()
c) revalidate()
d) repaint()

You'd be far ahead by opening up the API and Java turorial and your course book and learning for yourself, rather than, asking other to do your homework for you.
But if you have andwers already to go, then post them and ask if you have drawn appropriate conclusions.

Help with a hunt the wumpus game

I accidently posted this question on the wrong section so i'm posting it again here.
i'm trying to write the hunt the wumpus game with simple conditions: (check-marked the ones i already accomplished)
[x]the pits will be placed randomly
[x] the wumpus is placed in the maze randomly (not sure if i did that one correctly)
[x] the player starts on the lower left of the maze row 3 col 0
-the player will only have 1 chance to shoot the Wumpus
[x]if the player is close to the Wumpus then there would be a prompt saying there is stench around
[x]if the player is close to a pit then she/he will be prompted that there is a breeze.
-if the player falls in a pit or gets eaten by the wumpus the game will be over and the map of the maze will be shown. I used 0 for empty cells and p for pits and w for wumpus in the array.
There is some problem with the program i've written so far but i don't know how to fix it. also, i don't know how to check if the wumpus will be in the direction the player wants to shoot. i'd appreciate any suggestions

Help making a millipede/centipede type game

Hi,
Can anyone recommend a book that will help me make Centipede or Millipede in Java? This is my first year taking Computer Science and we need to make a game in a month and a half. I know the basics of Java (what I was able to learn in a semester). I chose Centipede which is like Space Invaders. Can you help me? Thanks!

The Java Tutorial is a good reference, then any game programming in Java Book, there are several here that have been recommended.
The biggest problem that you face, is scope. DON'T TRY TO DO MORE THAN YOU HAVE TIME TO DO. Keep the scope of your project doable and do not let it creep. One of the biggest things new programmers have problems with is: "Why not?" If it will look KEWL and you didn't have it in your original spec, don't include it.
If you are just looking to suck code down from someone else's experience, then there is a whole world to Google with lots and lots of source.

Sound quality: If you want to hear the difference between higher and lower bit rates

Have you ever wondered about the difference in the sound quality of music at different bit-rates? Can you hear the difference?
If you listen to 64kbps and 28kbps (either wma or mp3), you'll hear the great difference. However, if you listen to 28kbps and 92kbps (either wma or mp3), you'll find that there is little or no difference (to me, that is).
collegeboy wrote:
We all know that wma 28kbps sounds just as good as wma 320kb
ps.
the reason i and you go higher than 28 is because where able to. you can deny all you want.
If you want to experience better sound quality at higher bit-rates, the best thing to do is to listen to the music at a quiet place. This may sound like lame advise, but it really works. Try 320kbps for the best results. You'll be able to hear minor details you never had before.

SSR wrote:
Wayyyyyy back when I first started encoding MP3s I was using 28 with an inferior encoder. At the time I couldn't spot the difference, but now the difference is stark. Particular types of music (and more specifically instruments and combinations) do emphasise it though.
Actually, you cannot hear the difference when the background noise is loud, or example, public transport. I suggest that one uses a noise cancellation headset. $$$

Find the difference between loading and registering the drivers..

Dear Sir..
Could you please help me to find the difference between two activities..
1.Loading the drivers
2.Registering the drivers
What's the difference between loading and registeing the drivers and what activities take place by the JVM to do it all.

Dear Sir..
Could you please help me to find the difference
between two activities..
1.Loading the drivers
2.Registering the drivers
What's the difference between loading and registeing
the drivers and what activities take place by the JVM
to do it all.You load a class - it isn't specific to a driver.
That is part of java - not JDBC.
Normally JDBC drivers register themselves when the class is loaded. This is specific to the driver and has nothing to do with a user of the driver. It is only a concern to someone who must implement a driver.

Find the difference in Two Tabels in two different schema?

Hello Gurus,
In DB which have millions of records -
I have a Tabel A under Schema A and i have another Tabel B under Schema B and i have to pick the refrence from Tabel C under Schedma B altough my DB is same. Both of the tables (Table A and Table B) have exatly the same structure in both the schema and when i tried finding the difference like -
Find the refrence from Table C and pick the values which are in Tabel A under Schema A but which are not present in the Tabel B under Schema B .
I have to compare each and ever field value which is present under all of the columns under Table A to ever field value which is present under all of the columns under Table B.
then wrote the following query-
SELECT * FROM
SchemaA.Table A t1,SchemaB.Table C t2
WHERE t1.SV_ID = t2.SV_ID order by t1.SV_ID
Minus
Select * from SchemaB.TableB order by SV_ID
Then this query is not working. And display the following error -
"query block has incorrect number of result columns"
Even both of the tables have the same column's and same structure.
Kindly help me .
Looking forward for some guidance -
Thanks in advance.

1-There are some 70 Columns in both of the tables so thats why i don't want to use the query based on columns as it will involve writing all of the columns.
2- By using the query something like -
select <column_name(s)> from table1
minus
select <column_name(s)> from table2, table1
where <condition>
It is throwing the error -ORA-01789: query block has incorrect number of result columns
3- Using the query
SELECT t1.*
FROM SchemaA.TableA t1,SchemaB.TableC t2
WHERE t1.SV_ID = t2.SV_ID
MINUS
SELECT t3.*
FROM SchemaB.TableB t3
order by SV_ID
It gives me the reuslt but when i corss check them individually in both of the tables then there is no difference.
4- SELECT t1.* FROM
SchemaA.Table A t1,SchemaB.Table C t2
WHERE t1.SV_ID = t2.SV_ID order by t1.SV_ID
Minus
Select * from SchemaB.TableB order by SV_ID
Query is not working.
Kindly help me to find the difference between two tables , column by column based on the condition both of the tables have the same SV_ID.

WebService: The difference between Deployable proxy & Standalone proxy

Hi all,
The help document tell me the difference between Deployable proxy & Standalone is the former can be deploy while the latter can not.
Now I know how to use a standalone proxy, but now I would like to call a ws in web application, I need a deployable one.
After autogenerate, to my surprise, there's no implementation class in SEI!
As know to all, if this proxy we call it 'zHello'
as a standalone proxy, we have four files in SEI
ZHellows.java
ZHellowsService.java
ZHellowsServiceImpl.java
ZHellowsSoapBindingStub.java
use the follow segment can do the job.
ZhellowsService service = new ZhellowsServiceImpl();
Zhellows hello = service.getLogicalPort();
System.out.println(hello.zHello("testit"));
but what I found in the SEI of a deplyable proxy is just 2 interface of them:
ZHellows.java
ZHellowsService.java
This time I do not know how to use this proxy, shall I implement it first?
