    dynamic movie clip from assets

    what i have is a portfolio site for my design company and i use a loadvars object to get a list of jobs we've done and some info about them.



    next we made this movieclip in flash that represents a small tree, what i want to do is create a tree for each entry in the database and have each one display unique data on it. so far what i have is:


    Code:
    include('FolioItem.as');
// here is where

      that did the trick!

      now that you mentioned it it was like "ohhhhhhh" and i realized that it makes sense now why that was happening.

      thanks alot,

        originally i had them in seperate files, i doint know if that makes a difference?

        after reading your post, i tried moving the Ball( actually its actor in the specifics of my program) into the same file and still no luck, theres enough <Actor \> tags to account for the number of things i created in the array but theyre all empty.

        Heres the code where i convert the Actor[List] into an array for the xml processing:...

          xml serialization question

          hi,
          i am trying to write all the data for my games level to an xml file using c# xml serializer.

          i got it to work but for any of my classes below the Level class none of the fields are written.

          for instance, a Level has a List of Ball objects and a list of brick objects (guess theres not too many hints about what kind of game it is lol)
          each file has fields that i marked with
          [xmlattribute] or [xmlelement]...

            in Java
            oh...lol good to know.

            i think the problem may be when it does all the calculations for generating and creating the new objects, maybe the refresh thread catches up with the method that is generating the objects???

            even if that was the case, how would i go about fixing something like that?

              problem with flickering graphics

              Hi, i have made several different things using a double buffer and a jframe before but never had this problem:

              if you look thrugh the code, you can see that i draw a whole bunch of stuff to the screen and sometimes, i get a frame or two of just blank jframe color
              [CODE=java]
              public void draw()
              {
              BufferStrategy bf = this.getBufferS trategy();
              Graphics2D g = null;
              if(scrollPos>la stCoveredPos)...

                this is getting rather frustratng lol....i will be calling my web host to see if perhaps they are to blame for this but i doubt that they are...

                  replied to read/write a file and '\n' problem
                  in Java
                  if you use readLine(), you can assume that there is a '\n' character after each call, im not sure how that fits into your program, but if you had a loop like:

                  Code:
                                    while ( (line = istream.readLine()) != null  ) {
                      //System.out.println(line);
                      sb.append(line);
                  }
                  you could use something like
                  Code:
                   line+= '\n' ;
                  ...

                    the problem now remains the same as the problem i had before, now i have just exausted one solution. the error that i posted with is still the same error i am getting.

                    i also tested it out in firefox and internet explorer and on multiple computers to the same avail.

                    on my girlfriends laptop in firefox i got something slightly different:
                    Code:
                    load: class NetCasino.class not found.
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException:

                        that the code base?

                        that is the path where the jar is, it would be

                          this is rather frustrating...i have tried numerous different things in a futile attempt to get a japplet packaged in a jar file to load on my site.

                          everytime i try a new thing i get:

                            thanks all of you, i will work on some test data this week and if i still cant crack it i will tell you all of my findings...

                            i did however look at that site and sortof already covered that ground so it didnt provide me much of a solution...

                            im not also considering that my collision detection may be part of the problem...i will be stepping through and trying to find the problems this week

                            thanks for all...

                              i think i got the paddle to work now...just for starters i want to make it block everything...il l put in the error later.

                              problem now is i have glitches at some of the border cases where the paddle will freak out and miss like 5 in...

                                Pong AI Problem

                                im just starting to work on AI things and i started with a pong game...

                                i came up with a system that every time the ball hits a wall or a paddle it calls the alert() method of the AIController class.

                                the problem is the paddle always reaches and hits the ball the first time, then seems to move in crazy direction and will never hit another shot...

                                heres what i got so far:

                                Code:
                                public void alert()
                                ...

If that is the case i suppose i would like to try to avoid it......
