Adding mc speed using Numeric Stepper component

In previous example, our hero has constant speed set to 2. Speed is defined inside doTween function, as 6th parameter for xT and yT tweens. Off course, this speed doesn’t have to be constant at all. We will use Numeric Stepper component just to show how to change speed parameter. Instance of Numeric Stepper is “step”. We change mentioned parameter from “2″ to “step.value”.

download hero_v2 source file.

When making a game, we will not use Numeric Stepper, but we can change hero speed in this way in relation to health or game level or whatever.

comics album flash application

Flanture is proud to present next flashMX project, Comics Album.

Album is simple but useful. It uses flash power to include dinamic content loaded from any xml file and combine it with already done comic image pages. Comic is usually separated in pages, and every page has different text clouds. This Album shows pages one by one. It has two navigation buttons. Main characteristic is that text can be changed from xml file, but also and text font, color, size. Xml file contain text clouds for every page.

Comic Album is great way to separate graphics from text in your comic creations. Text can be modified dinamicaly, font, it’s size and color. Let’s see how to use it. This is how looks like part of xml file that describes one comic page:

< page purl=”page1.jpg” tboxn=”1″>

< tbox posx=”420″ posy=”220″ bw=”300″ bh=”100″ txt=”Third text box!” fnt=”Verdana” fnts=”26″ fc=”0×000000″ />

So, what we have here? Parametars for one comic page are:
purl - page url
tboxn - number of text boxes (clouds)

Parametars for one text box are:
posx - x position of text box
posy - y position of text box
bw - box width
bh - box height
txt - text
fnt - font face
fnts - font size
fc - font color (hexadecimal numbers)

That’s it ! Simple, but nice. If you are interested in using Comics Album, please leave comment.

hidden news ticker

My news thicker is little different. It can be hidden amongst other page flash elements, but on button press, it becomes wider, and news are displayed. News string comes from xml file. You can download zip (4kb) with swf and xml.

edit: link broken, download at HERE
download zip

I may convert it into component, later. This is created on first hand. I could spend more time on some nice skin, or on code which implements two rows of data with different colors, etc, but I didn’t. Not yet. Like it?
