I'm not saying that Flash is bad, for me SWF is the best animation file format, and don't forget that in addition to the action script there is also Hexe

I don’t think that anyone who doesn’t know as3 well needs to work with it, in any case, this is a working way to write code, a lot of things can be done if you just put !YourClass and such, just if you read the code, you can easily modify it

Yes, I understand, I’m currently doing a small project and I chose as2 only for compatibility with ruffle, it’s a nightmare, and because you can’t see errors and because you can’t write :RegExp because it will give an error that you didn’t import the class even though you you can see the import line

I'm creating a game like a sound maker, I just need an Adobe Flash artist, nothing more

P.S. I'd like a designer too

I'm a flash programmer who has experience going through many people, but he didn't stop, I'm currently working with 1 person, this is a very big game written in action script 2, it's much bigger than abobo big adventure, and this is now a demo version, just believe that a game for a language that has not been updated for several years is something, I am one of several programmers, my main tasks are connecting the code and adding “effects”, for example adding parallax, and from this moment the problems begin

1) as strange as this may sound, for some reason AS2 is afraid of moving from file to file, that is, if you have a tab with an AS2 class and a .fla game file, and if you switch from .fla to a class, then you will get an error, and you need to restart the project build 2 times, you will not find this error in a regular program (which you write) like Excel on AS2, but if you write a large game you will find many problems with transitions to other files

2) #include is a very convenient thing that will reduce writing code in frames, but some code does not work there, I had a video recording where I showed that the code does not work in #include, but in the frame it works best, and the same goes for calling functions

3) I’ll show you this site: https://www.f-in-box.com/ , it seems to be a very good site, it collects as2 swf files into a full-fledged .exe file using flash player 32, but here the problem is the fact that there is nothing better than this option, and there is an AMV1 emulator, and all as2 applications work slowly, this is not a ruffle for you, well, you understand

4) weak typing, this is a very important thing which is the main mistake, if there is no strong typing then you will have a lot of errors that will only slow down the game, I wrote a game many years ago, and I had an error in 1 function, but the program it worked, but when I fixed it (the mistake), everything started to go faster, so that’s a very big minus

and this raises the question, how much does AS2 cost, why not switch to more popular languages, try writing something in TypeScript, or in C# and java, even as3 is more profitable, you’re just shooting yourself in the foot when you write big games in AS2, I don’t I’m saying that this is bad language, I’m saying that either you need to make small games, or make game folders like for God, or just understand that I’m hating the client and not what I’m doing, thank you

and tell me why you continue to write on as2

AS3 main

for my game it was necessary to correctly arrange all the MovieClips by depth, but there were many problems and so I did not find a solution, and I wrote myself, all that is needed for this is arranging everything along Y, the more Y (the zero coordinate in as3 is on top, which means we have Y going down) the more depth, and vice versa, the less Y the less depth

this code must be made either a module or a MovieClip, if you want to add MovieClips, add them by class, as you can see in the updateDepths() function in if()

package {
  import flash.display.*;
  import flash.events.*;

  public class DepthY extends MovieClip {
    private var mc:DisplayObject;

    public function setDepth(obj:DisplayObject):void {
      var depth:int = Math.floor(obj.y);

      if (depth < 0) {
        depth = 0;
      } else if (depth >= obj.parent.numChildren) {
        depth = obj.parent.numChildren - 1;
      }

      obj.parent.setChildIndex(obj, depth);
    }

    public function updateDepths():void {
      if (parent) {
        var objects:Array = [];

        for (var i:int = 0; i < parent.numChildren; i++) {
          var obj:DisplayObject = parent.getChildAt(i);

          if ((obj is hitBoxPlayer || obj is asClass || obj is gadjetHit) && obj != this && obj.parent == parent) {
            objects.push(obj);
          }
        }

        objects.sortOn("y", Array.NUMERIC);

        for each (var sortedObj:DisplayObject in objects) {
          setDepth(sortedObj);
        }
      }
    }

    public function DepthY() {
      addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, onEnterFrame);
    }

    private function onEnterFrame(event:Event):void {
      updateDepths();
    }
  }
}

this code uses Event.ENTER_FRAME so be careful

I'm preparing a big project for FF 24, I hope I can win, thanks to ruffle for the support as3!

For greater comparison, here is the basic information:

coordinates:

as2:

movie_clip._x;
movie_clip._y;

as3:

movie_clip.x;
movie_clip.y;

function:

as2:

onClipEvent(handler){
//do actions
}

as3:

import flash.event.*;
movie_clip.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, gameLoop);
function gameLoop (e:Event) {
//do actions
}

frame

as2:

_currentframe
gotoAndPlay();

as3:

currentFrame
gotoAndPlay();

as you can see the count has become a little larger and smaller at the same time, the code has increased only in events and in other cases it has become more similar to ECMAScript and JavaScript, it has become more readable but is now tied to libraries that you can make yourself

and also now OOP is the main tool in the code, most of everything happens in the .as file and only a small rendering of objects occurs on frames, but as before you can write all the code on the cards and inside the MovieClip, and also you will no longer see _root instead it's a pity MovieClip(root)

Today we have ruffle, neo has a slightly different technology that speeds up or slows down games and farmeRate works more correctly

I think I'll stay with Adobe Flash cs6 due to the fact that I don't want to work with textures and Main extnds Sprite because I like writing code in the frame, but OOP also gives me the opportunity to make classes for MovieClip, I'd rather stay on flash cs

I have always used only Flash cs, and here I find the opportunity to program thanks to Starling, but for this you need to use Flash Buldier programming (VS Code and so on), tell me which is better to use, because if I’m not mistaken, Starling only has textures, but the problem is textures for me the problem is that they will be very blurry, but stopping using flash.display.* also has its advantages in my opinion

this is a stupid question, a long time ago I tried to make Flash Player first for the browser and then I thought about giving it up for game consoles, this is literally binary code that if you convert it into assembler then nothing will happen, Ruffle uses the selection technique. that is, 0x49 means something else, but more precisely NOT, why? because all this is reproduced by Flash Player, in short, only Adobe Flash can read these files, of course you can disassemble it and not understand anything and break the law, it’s better not to talk about creating your own editor, nothing will work

just don’t post spam content, don’t draw ugly pictures and don’t post bad animations, they will kill all your authority in a second, and just be good, find friends here and chat with them and sometimes do collabs

I think I should also take music from you

It's better to use as3 for multiplayer games but it won't work in ruffle, if you want to use as2 then here's what you need:

1) this is a remote server (www.000webhost.com)

2) these are files that the server can process (for example php)

3) connection code and data transfer

minuses:

1) you need an internet connection

2) ruffle may not process them

3) it's very slow, very very slow

if you want, I can do all this for you, but for a fee

action scriot 1, little is known about it but it is very easy

I’m creating a game for mobile devices (it will also be in the browser and on computers) the main idea is to control the hero’s geroscope (or screen) on different planets, I won’t tell you the full idea of ​​the project now, but if you want to help me, then write it, I wrote the engine project (written from scratch without using unity or other engines), I'm just looking for people who want to develop, I'm just now looking for people who are ready to work, and also the game will be pixelated, so I'm not looking for 2D artists (but I'm looking for 2D animators), I and I myself am a 2D animator, programmer and much more, just write to me

already adding textures

https://www.newgrounds.com/projects/games/5008483/preview

yes i have been working on the codes for a very long time and now i have done the same thing for creating a cube, now i am going to make textures and think about creating more complex objects, i was inspired that i can become better than carrotclock, thanks a lot @Mike he gave me a start about what to think about other programs, thanks to him I realized that I myself am this key to the door of creating 3D, i won't give it up until i can do a full tutorial on how to use it, please see what i did and just say you want to make a carrot clock juice remake?

it's an easy question, 3 stars for good animation is bad, if you get 3.5 stars then it's good if the animation is good, 4 stars get either very good animations, or is it a group of people who gave a lot of points (most often kittykrew-type teams), or this is a man popular as mincdhamber and he will receive awards for almost all his work, there are a lot of examples of this confirmation, but today you don’t see such

flash 4 - 6 good flash for programming, adobe animate for animation, what's the reason? adobe animate has good brushes and it is more convenient to draw with them, and they are easy to adjust

I have a whole playlist of gay music that I listen to while playing, like:  Ver$ace COVER GAY FULL, wenty one pidors, Skillet pidrs.mp3 , Мы ДИЛДО FULL, А ТЫ И ПОДРОЧИ Blatota

I’ll say this, I don’t see the point of this, it’s necessary to release it on all platforms as well as PS 4 and PS 5, and now it turns out that not everyone will be able to play on their favorite consoles

Why is my animation still not there, I'm the first one who posted the animation and the game on clockday

All I understood is that writing f file is not convenient, and now everything works for me

i create a game in !!!.as file!!! and I want to know how to make a preloder for my game, all that is needed is the code in one for one frame(Namely, what would the code be in class .as file) and at the end of the download go to the next one, to be honest, I didn’t want to go to the end for help, but without a preloader the game will not be able to work, and all the answers from google they give me does not help me

hey this is not rofl, 15 august will be the 2nd clock day

Yes

thanks tom

Oh okay thanks
