Need a bit of help with a code
Hello adobe community!
i have been fiddling around with FLASH MX and have been making a game VERY slowly.
i've picked up alot since starting and have restarted making said game MANY MANY times =D...
But i have now got a copy that is neat and clean and works really well BUT i've come into a bit of a problem.
i have _global.goldenticket = 0; on my first frame along with other variables and i have made a single location where one can aquire a "goldenticket".
now things are starting to confuse me... ive added a button inside a movie clip which if clicked "should" check if i have a golden ticket and then allow me to jump to the frame specified...
on(release){
if(goldenticket=="1"){
money -= 50;
energy -=50;
_root.gotoAndPlay("enter");
}else{
this.enabled=false;
however the button doesnt seem to see my ticket (even tho ive added a dynamic textbox to keep track of how many i have, which is 1)
ive tried many different ways to go around this but i cannot seem to get it to work...
please someone help me... in relativly simple answers please =\ im only a few days into flash learning and codeing. but im enjoying what im doing so im learning quickly.
will have my face to the screen in waiting =D
Thank you to everyone who took a look at my thread!
THANK YOU!!!
REALLY quick response WITH lang i could easily understand...
mate thank you haha been wrapping my brain for hours on end with other things didnt even occure to me to slap _global infront.

Need a bit of help with css and fullscreen
I am currently doing a javaFX application for my university project, I have it everything nearly finished, but need to finish the css component to make the application "prettier" (I am not very good on graphic design to be honest). So if i could get a bit of help on this little issue I'd be very grateful.
is there any way to make fullscreen (and if possible resizing window) to instead rearranging everything to actually do a fullscreen (like the games) and everything "grows accordingly (even though in games what it usually does is to change the screen resolution, is that possible to reproduce with javaFX?) also how to remove the message and the effect on click the "esc" key to exit the fullscreen mode?
i know that removing the focus effect on an element is with the following (if a button)
.button:focused{
-fx-background-insets: 0;
}but,is there any way to remove the effect on anything focused (TextField, Combo Box, ...)? (tried with a .textfield:focused but it did not work)
also i wanted to produce the focused effect by this way but it didn't work, how should i do it? (in fact even if i try to put this line on the button:focused, the focused effect gets removed from there, because of the insets line)
#highlight{
-fx-background-insets: 2;
-fx-background-color: yellow;
public class controller extends StackPane implements Initializable{
public void highlight(){
this.getStyleClass().add("highlight");
and last thing (for the moment) the .button seems to work for all the buttons, but trying another thing like .gridpane or .textfield or .scrollpane does not seem to work, is there any way to make it work or i should add "id" to all the elements and use the # instead?i wrote all them in the same thread becsause there were a total of 4 (and could had been more) separated by ----
should i leave it how it is or open now 4 threads for each question? -
Need a bit of help with Jumping in a game
I making an action game (at least for the sake of this question) and when the user presses the spacebar the character jumps. The problem is, if the character is moving right or left, and jumps while he is moving, he will stop moving in mid-air (if the spacebar is released) and just drop straight down. Example:
press right arrow key
player moves right
press space while pressing arrow key
player jumps
let go of spacebar
player drops straight down (does not continue to move right) //Problem
It's pretty simple code, actually:
/* Move player left or right */
if (pressedRight)
player.x_pos += player.x_speed;
else if (pressedLeft)
player.x_pos -= player.x_speed;
/* If spacebar is pressed */
if (pressedSpace && !player.moveUp)
player.moveUp = true;
player.y_speed = player.INITIALSPEED;
/* if you are in "jump mode" */
if (player.moveUp)
player.y_pos += player.y_speed;
player.y_speed += .25;
if (player.y_pos >= TheGround)
player.moveUp = false;
player.y_speed = 0;
public boolean keyDown(Event e, int key)
if(key==Event.LEFT)
pressedLeft = true;
if(key==Event.RIGHT)
pressedRight=true;
if(key==Event.UP)
pressedUp=true;
if(key==Event.DOWN)
pressedDown=true;
if (key == ' ')
pressedSpace = true;
repaint();
return true;

I need a "bit" of help with an 8 Puzzle
My current situation is that I need to create a working 8 puzzle with Java using a GUI. What I've currently done is at http://nale.f2g.net/EightPuzzle.java . My main problem is that when running it I get a NullPointerException at the line containing tile[blankPos].setText(tile[ndx].getText()); in the swap method.
I get a NPE when ever I use the scramble() method.
The source is the line move(rand.nextInt(4)); .Your Random rand is not instantiated nowhere. Thus it is naturally null.
Make rand in the constructor.
Here's a simpler one. You could use random swap() calls for moving/shuffling/scrambling.

Need a bit of help with some theory...
I'm just looking over some past paers for my exam and I'm having trouble understanding exactly what this question is asking for:
What is an Enterprise computer system? Give an example of an Enterprise system. Critically discuss two alternative development environments that could be used to develop such a system. Suggest which development environment you would choose to develop the example enterprise system you have suggested and why.
I'm just sure exactly what it means by development enviroments, does it mean a program like JDeveloper? A couple of examples would be really handy
ThanksThink of an Enterprise computer system as nothing more than a resouce pool. A pool of database connections, persistant database objects, mail sessions, messaging sessions. Basically any resouce a developer would need to develop any type of application.
As for environments... the two I think of are Microsoft .NET and Sun's Java System Application Server Platform. Thay are basically the same in concept, microsoft just repackaged everything good about Java and called it .NET. .NET is (of course) dependant on the Microsoft OS platform, Sun/Java is not. -
I need a bit of help with my 7600GT
Alright.
My motherboard doesn't have a VGA slot, and neither does this Video Card. I understand that it is remedied with the adapters that are provided, but one must install the drivers for the DVI slots before one can do anything. I can't get any output on my monitor with the adapters because I can't see what's going on to install the drivers. I managed to install Windows by taking out my hard drive and putting it into another computer (SATA drive, btw) and I would have done the same with my video card if it weren't for the fact that no other computers in my house have PCI-E slots.
Is there any way to get the drivers onto this hard drive without having to search around town for a computer with both a SATA and a PCI-E slot?
Thanks!iamquitethen00b,

I need a bit of help with my iPhone 4...
I just backed up my phone and I'm trying to update it to iOS 7.0.4. but when I updated my ipod, everything got deleted off of it. I don't want that to happen to my phone even though I know it probably will. If I restore my iPhone and then restore backup AFTER I update my phone, will I get everything back?
Also, will everything actually be deleted or could I find them somewhere on my laptop?iamquitethen00b,

Need a little bit of help with substring...
Im very new at java programming, and need a bit of help with a problem:
Here is what I have:
System.out.print("Enter a string : ");
Scanner scan = new Scanner (System.in);
stringy = scan.nextLine();
Now I want to split the string "stringy" like this: h:hi:hip:hipp:hippo
I know this uses substring, but I can't figure out how to do it.
Any help would be great, thanks!I know about the length method, what I dont knowis
how to use the length and substring methodstogether
to solve the problem i mentioned initially. There are three ingredients to perform this task:
- String.length()
- String.substring(int start, int end)
- for-statement:
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/java/nutsandbo
lts/for.html
Pseudo code:IN <- input String from user
LOOP FROM 0 -> IN.length()
print IN.substring(?, ?)
print ":"
END LOOP
Remember, Im very new. ;)Remember that by just handing you the solution, you
will learn far less than finding things out by
yourself.
; )Thanks a lot, i should be able to figure it out froom the pseudo code. :) -

Need help with WMI code that will send output to db
'm new to WMI code writing, so I need some help with writing code that we can store on our server. I want this code to run when a user logs into their computer
and talks to our server. I also want the code to:
* check the users computer and find all installed patches
* the date the patches were installed
* the serial number of the users computer
* the computer name, os version, last boot up time, and mac address
and then have all this output to a database file. At the command prompt I've tried:
wmic qfe get description, hotfixid
This does return the patch information I'm looking for, but how do I combine that line of code with:
wmic os get version, csname, serialnumber, lastbootuptime
and
wmic nicconfig get macaddress
and then get all this to output to a database file?Thank you for the links. I checked out http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/scriptcenter/dd793612.aspx and
found lots of good information. I also found a good command that will print information to a text file.
Basically what I'm trying to do is retrieve a list of all installed updates (Windows updates and 3rd party updates). I do like that the below code because it gives me the KB numbers for the Windows updates. I need this information so my IT co-workers &
I can keep track of which of our user computers need a patch/update installed and preferably which patch/update. The minimum we want to know is which patches / updates have been installed on which computer. If you wondering why we don't have Windows automatic
updates enable, that's because we are not allowed to.
This is my code so far.
#if you want the computer name, use this command
get-content env:computername
$computer = get-content env:computername
#list of installed patches
Get-Hotfix -ComputerName $computer#create a text file listing this information
Get-Hotfix > 'C:\users\little e\Documents\WMI help\PowerShell\printOutPatchList.txt'
I know you don't want to tell me the code that will print this out to a database (regardless if it's Access or SQL), and that's find. But maybe you can tell me this. Is it possible to have the results of this sent to a database file or do I need to go into
SQL and write code for SQL to go out and grab the data from an Excel file or txt file? If I'm understanding this stuff so far, then I suspect that it can be done both ways, but the code needs to be written correctly for this to happen. If it's true, then which
way is best (code in PowerShell to send information to SQL or SQL go get the information from the text file or Excel file)? -
hi guys. as the subject says I need help with my code
the Q for my code is :
write a program that reads a positive integer x and calculates and prints a floating point number y if :
y = 1 ? 1/2 + 1/3 - ? + 1/x
and this is my code
This program that reads a positive integer x and calculates
and prints a floating point number y if :
y = 1 - 1/2 + 1/3 - ? + 1/x
import java.util.Scanner; // program uses class Scanner
class Sh7q2
// main method begins execution of Java application
public static void main( String args[] )
// create Scanner to obtain input from command window
Scanner input = new Scanner( System.in );
int i = 1; // i is to control the loop
int n = 2; // n is suppose to control the number sign
int x; // a positive integer entered by the user
int m;
System.out.println("Enter a positive integer");
x = input.nextInt();
do
m = (int) Math.pow( -1, n)/i;
System.out.println(m);
n++;
i++;
while ( m >= 1/x );
} // end method main
} // end class Sh7q2 when I compile it there is no error
but in the run it tells me to enter a positive integer
suppose i entered 5
then the result is 1...
can anyone tell me what's wrong with my codeThis program that reads a positive integer x and calculates
and prints a floating point number y if :

I have two questions...
1) If I do a clean install on my MacBook Pro will I be able to re-install apps (FCP, Aperture, MS Office etc.) from a Time Machine backup, or will I need the original install DVDs with authorization codes? (because I don't have them)
2) Has anyone ever seen anything like this before on their computers?
The Apple Genius' were stumped by my laptop issues and said they'd never seen anything like it before and recommended I did a clean install. Below you can see my trash bin, and if you look at the "Empty" button it reads "N201" and then there's the "N39" to the left of it. You can also see these numbers over by the folder area--"SD5, SD6, SD7." But that's not all...
When I right click on items I see the numbers again. Instead of "Open with" I get "N152" and there's an "N35" and "LB1" towards the bottom.
I have no idea what's going on so I'm just going to do a clean install on my machine but I don't want to lose my apps. I don't have the original install DVDs for them anymore. If you have any suggestions please let me know. Thanks!You don't lose them. You can always redownload them from the app store after you log back in with your Apple ID.
"Buy, download, and even redownload.
You can install apps on every Mac you use and even download them again. This is especially convenient when you buy a new Mac and want to load it with apps you already own." -
Can you help with the code to publish Flash to my own domain.
Thank you for your help, I publish the my site to my own domain, I do not use .Mac, I tested your code and ity works well on .Mac, can you help with the code to publish to my own domain.
Thank you againYou appear to have just collected a variety of code snippets and thrown them together, including a section of AS2 code ( gage.onRelease = function() {... )
The suggestion I offered yesterday still stands. You should find a tutorial regarding AS3 and the atan2 function. Beyond that, what you show suggests this is a school assignment. You should seek help from your fellow students and instructor if that is the case. -
New to Programming, need your help with writing code for java in Xcode.
Hey everyone! Sorry if I sound like a total idiot here with a bunch of developers but I could really use your help. I am in college and having a bit of problems with my intro to programming class. The class is entirely Java based and so, after having to use dos windows on my grandpas crappy laptop I found out about xcode. I downloaded and installed it but I am having problems seeing where exactly it is that I am to write my code for a normal java application. Any help would be greatly appreciated! I wrote it on the bottom of a bunch of code that looked strange to me. For relatively simple java programs I chose the java application template. Is there something here that I missed?
The Java Application project template looks like it sets up an application and some kind of starting UI using Swing/AWT. I didn't look at it too indepth, but if you are in an introductory course this might be more than you need to complete your assignments. There doesn't seem to be blank Java template, so I don't know what you should use. Perhaps just a blank project you add your .java files to.
To answer where to write code, you would write it in your .java files under the /src folder. Execution begins in
public static void main(String args[]) {}
in YourAppName.java, then creates an object based on your application class, and runs the code from there to display the UI. -

menuSlide(large_pics.pic2);
b3.onRelease = function() {
menuSlide(large_pics.pic3);
b4.onRelease = function() {
menuSlide(large_pics.pic4);
I need to adjust five things in this code...
(1) I want this menue to slide vertically not horizontally.
I changed the 'x' values in the code to 'y' which I thought
would make it move vertically, but it doesn't work...
(2) Is it possible that, whatever the distance is, the
"sliding" time is always 2.2 sec ?
(3) I need to implement code that after the final position is
reached, the timeline jumps to a certain movieclip to a certain
label - depending on what button was pressed of course...
I tried to implement this code for button number two...
b2.onRelease = function() {
menuSlide(large_pics.pic2);
if (currentPosition = finalDestination) {
this.large_pics.pic2.gotoAndPlay("s1");
--> sliding still works but it doesn't jump to the
appropriate label...
(4) I wanna add 'Next' & 'Previous' buttons to the slide
show - what would be the code in this case scenario ?
My first thought was something like that Flash checks which
'pic' movieclip it is showing right now (pic1, pic2, pic3 etc.) and
depending on what button u pressed u go to the y value of movieclip
'picX + 1' (Next button) or 'picX - 1' (Previous button)...
Is that possible ?
(5) After implementing the Next & Previous buttons I need
to make sure that when it reached the last pic movieclip it will
not go further on the y value - because there is no more pic
movieclip.
Options are to either slide back to movieclip 'pic1' or
simply do nothing any more on the next button...
I know this is probably Kindergarten for you, but I have only
slight ideas how to do this and no code knowledge to back it up...
haha
Thanx a lot for your help in advance !
Always a pleasure to learn from u guys... ;)
MikeHi,
I made some progress with the code thanx to the help of
Simon, but there are still 2 things that need to be addressed...
(1) I want the sliding time always to be 2.2 sec...
here's my approach to it - just a theory but it might work:
we need a speed that changes dynamically depending on the
distance we have to travel...
I don't know if that applies for Action Scrip but I recall
from 6th grade, that...
speed = distance / time
--> we got the time (which is always 2.2 sec)
--> we got the disctance
(currentposition-finaldestination)
--> this should automatically change the speed to the
appropriate value
Unfortunately I have no clue how the action script would look
like (like I said my action script skills are very limited)...
(2) Also, one other thing I need that is not implemented yet,
is that when the final destination is reached it jumps to a certain
label inside a certain movieclip - every time different for each
button pressed - something like:
if (currentPosition = finalDestination) {
this.large_pics.pic2.gotoAndPlay("s1");
that statement just doesn't work when I put it right under
the function for each button...
Thanx again for taking the time !!!
Mike
