I need to make a task with less as3 code and more timeline structure and event dispatcher !

I went to an interview in a big company. I had to make a  task in which there is a wall with 3 lines and 5 columns filled with bombs.When you click on a bomb the bomb changes its scale, a robot enters, goes under the bomb and takes it, then goes to a smaller wall, makes the bomb smaller and place it at the same place it had been in the previous wall.I made the task with tween througout as3 code.The interviewer told me it was good but i need to make it with the less code possible and with more complex timeline structure and to use event dispatcher.What is the best way to do this ?

The immediate thing that comes to mind is they might want to see that you can balance work between design teams and development teams.
To do that, the robots movements (pick up bomb, bomb grows/shrinks, arms/treads/legs moving, sequences of 'doing things') can be timeline based so animators can work on those separate from code.
Developers would be working on the logic of keeping score, moving the robot around to the correct spot with path detection, collision detection, etc.
It's very similar to thinking in simple factories (which Flash is good at being automatically with timelines), and a bit of MVC (or just VC in some cases).
Big companies have lots of different types of employees so you'll probably be very specific in your role so you're efficient.

  • I got a MacBook in August 2009 what do I need to make it comptable with my iPhone 5

    I got a MacBook in August 2009 what softwares do I need to make it comptable with my iPhone 5 like what iOS programs like do I just need mountain lion or do I need all the recent ones or will just the latest one do

    Hi ...
    You need to upgrade your Mac OS X so you can run the latest version of iTunes for  iOS compatibiity.
    First, you need to upgrade to Snow Leopard >  Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard - Technical Specifications
    Snow Leopard is available from the Apple online store >  Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store
    Once you have Snow Leopard installed you will have access to the App Store where you can purchase v10.8 Mountain Lion If your Mac meets v10.8 Mountain Lion requirements >  System requirements for OS X Mountain Lion
    You can upgrade directly from v10.6 Snow Leopard to v10.8 Mountain Lion without having to purchase v10.7 Lion.

  • Do I need to make an applet with swing point to the JRE 1.4 plug-in?

    Do I need to make an applet with swing point to the JRE 1.4 plug-in? I mean, in 1.3.1 plug-in, if you did not run your code through the HTML converter, the applet would still use the browsers JRE (JVM). However, with 1.4.0, it seems that you don't need to. Is this correct?

    When you ran an applet that has been compiled under 1.4 and needs classes or methods from 1.4 with an old HTML file (presumedly with the <object> tag that still refers to JRE 1.3+), the browser is going to look at the <object> tag and see that at least JRE1.3.1 is needed to correctly run the applet and since 1.4, which is higher than 1.3+, is on the system, it ignorantly proceeds to load and run the applet. The problem that you're going to run into is when you deploy the applet on the web and your viewer only have JRE1.3+, your applet which really needs 1.4, will crap out....

  • I have a line drawing (black on white paper) i have scanned and need to make the white paper transparent, maintaining the line drawing, can i and then HOW can i do this in PS?

    i have a line drawing (black on white paper) i have scanned and need to make the white paper transparent, maintaining the line drawing, can i and then HOW can i do this in PS? this is for my business logo. ive used it for years but with a solid background. id like to have it just be the drawing over my photos with a transparent background.

    First let me apologize for posting a reply that was only suitable for advanced users.  Photoshop is broad and powerful therefore has a huge learning curve.  In fact I would state no one knows and uses all of Photoshop.  When we first get Photoshop it intimidate us and we're very uncomfortable using it.  Many thing are not intuitive there in much learning involved.  After some time we begin to know something and we are able to do some thing.  Learning become rapid and we start playing in Photoshop.  It is very important to play with Photoshop.  Playing with Photoshop and asking for help with in forums like this IMO is the best way to learn. 
    Photoshop Power lies in layers, selection and automation.  However it takes knowledge to use photoshop well so most powerful tool you have ins Photoshop is the gray matter between your ears.  Most at one time or another want to watermark or put a logo on their image.  So its best to automate this process. All run into a problem in the process. "Size"  We find our assets vary in size and aspect ratios. Landscape, Portraits, Panoramas and others. This complicates automation.  Vector graphics works best when size vary greatly.  If you can not work out how to create a vector solution like a custom shape.  Create your Logo and watermark large thing scale down better the up. Text scale well for text uses vectors graphics however if you rasterize text it will not scale well.
    I do not type or do English well so let me do some screen captures.  I can not stress enough how important Black, White, Grays and Blending is when it come to image processing.  Become friends with Multiply, Screen, Overlay and Luminosity blending.....
    However when there is a white or black background though you can blend them you can not add a style like a drop shadow, emboss or make it invisible setting fill to 0 so only the style is visible.  When there is contrast between the logo and background it is easy to separate the two. To select the background and delet it to have the logo with a transparent background.  Many tools can be used to create the selection hee I use my action kill white.
    Vector Shape would work better for scaling However it would be best to create the logo from scratch in a vector program like illustrator but I never had the resources to justify the Creative suite. I only had Photoshop.  Recently Adobe gave me and other a year subscription to the creative suite for our participation here.  I still have not installed anything but Photoshop,  A while back I found a program that can create vector patf for black and white art work.  It will not be as good as using something like illustrator. However vector paths can be edited in Photoshop and cleaned up some. Here is the PSD it 13MB because od the gradient http://www.mouseprints.net/old/dpr/AmPm24-7.psd

    Should I get a 2.0 or 3.0 USB external hard drive for my 2011 Macbook Pro? I need it to be compatible with the USB ports of both a PC and a Mac. I was thinking of getting a Seagate becuase apparently it is compatible with both systems, but I want to know which would be a better investment.

  • If I store name's phone number with a country code eg.  218-925555555 and I receive a call as 0925555555 then only number is appeared and no name appears

    if I store a name with phone number with a country code eg. +218-925555555 and I receive a call from that pearson then only number ( 0925555555 ) is appeared but no name.

    Or were you referring to the one in the old temporary replacement device? Would that even be compatible with the newer phones?
    The one that wasn't working had a 4G LTE SIM card in it. It should have usable in the replacement Razr. It was only until I read the OP a third time this morning that there might be a third device involved. It would be nice if people would give more specifics on what devices are active at what time.

  • My main (back of phone) camera doesn't work on my brand new iPhone 5. Verizon cannot help, do I need to make an appt with apple?

    Do I need to make an apple appt or is there a way to fix it myself? No restrictions or obstructions apply on the phone

    Since this is a hardware issue you will need to take your phone into your nearest apple store,since it's your camera that's not working they will most likely just give you a new phone . Here is a link  to my an appointment via Genius Bar

    Maybe it was hacked before and now through the update it's locked back to the original carrier.

  • Help with Apple Error Code & Intermitant Boot Up Problems and ? marks

    Well that was a long winded Subject line but I am a technical individual ... but know PC's and learn the Mac world which I have fallen in love with.
    Recently I have been getting lock up as well as hanging boot ups with the flashing question mark on the screen.
    I have been doing some research and one of the most recent things I did was run the Apple Hardware Test. During the quick test I received the following erro message:
    4M0T/ 40000003: HDD
    I am feeling like this likely a hard drive problem but not certain. I was trying to find what this error code meant and havent any luck yet so I thought I would try and post here. If I could find the error codes it woul dbe helpful. But if you have any ideas please help me out.
    I have had session lock up where I can not do anything but move the mouse, totally frozen sessions, as well as boot ups.
    One of the things I did earlier was run the TechTools System Tools that came with my Imac. It said everything was fine. So confused with what is wrong.

    For an iMac 24 inch (Early 2008) 3.06 GHz machine, the 4MOT error code* indicates a fan issue, and recommends that a technician…
    • shut down, the power back on and retest the machine
    • verify that the fan speed indicator is not a zero value (yours is reporting a 3)
    Without special tools and substantial experience, and because doing so would require opening your machine and thereby invalidating its existing warranty, they indicate that a technician should…
    • verify that the fan blades are not obstructed by cables, tape or other obstacles
    • verify that the fans are properly connected to the logic board and rotate when the machine is started
    • if the problem persists, replace the fans and retest the machine
    • if it still persists, replace the logic board
    While HDD is a commonly used abbreviation for hard disk or hard drive, there is no Apple Hardware Test error indicator for a hard drive for this particular platform, and yours does not relate to one based upon that AHT result. While there may be a sensor issue in play, AHT does not report a sensor issue in your case.
    You may wish to run the SMART diagnostics against your drive to see if it indicates an impending failure, but what you report is limited strictly to fan operation. You should take your covered machine into a dealer or service provider in order to have it tested and repaired under warranty.
    *NOTE: these error codes are often non-unique, and can mean very different things from one model series to another, and—within one product family—from one specific machine type to another.

  • I need to make a report with graphs, and generate an exit file to word

    I have to do the acquisition for a laboratory and to make inmediately a report with graphics and a constant test about the method of the experimentation

    Probably your best bet is to use ActiveX and control Word from LabVIEW, this way, you can act as you were using Word directly, automating all the steps to create your report. Look for examples in the developer zone, although there will be more examples relating Excel, that can show you the way to act. If you need to use this intensively, i think NI has created a Word toolokit that you can buy.
    For any particular question, just ask.
    Good luck

  • HT4528 My new iPhone has a lag time before it turns on?  I need to make an appt with Tysons to get it repaired.

    My new iphone has a lag time before it turns on.  I think it may need to go into Tysons for support.  Do you have any other options for me?

    What exactly do you mean by lag time when tutned on?  If you startup from a shutoff condition you have to hold the power button for a few seconds before the startup sequence begins...and then the apple logo will stay on-screen for a minute or so as it powers up.
    If you are talking about waking from sleep, how long is this taking?
    If you are concerned, by all means take it in for testing...but Apple does not repair iPhones, they replace them if defective.

  • Please help! i need to make multiple custom shaped frames for different videos in one scene and cant work out how!

    hi there!
    im really stuck on this and cant work it out i hope you guys can help! i have been trying to make a single shot or scene whatever you want to call it with multiple videos playing all at the same time in it but i want them all to have their own custom shape. i know that i can just put them together into one frame and play them at once but they are all the original rectangle shape they where filmed in and i could put a mask over each one to make it a circle but i want to make each one a custom shape for example if you where to make a face out of 4 videos and one was the shape of the main part of the face one was the eyes one for the hair and one for the mouth now i would have to make the shape of each video the right shape for the corresponding body part then place them on top of each other and then i would have a face made from looping videos. i cannot work out how to make the frames of each video a custom shape after searching tutorials please can someone help me with this it would be greatly appreciated as it is a collage project. thanks very much for your time in the matter Josh.
