Hi all!
ok - big stress - first post. I am new to flash and actionscript - but a programmer and familiar with PHP, coldfusion etc. I am picking it up pretty quick - and understand the concept of hitdetection etc.
I would like to build a prototype of an interface for a friend, and the concept requires that it have boxes drop in from the top of the stage and, using gravity, fall into a bin of sorts, bumping into each other, yet settling on the bottom (or other boxes) eventually. I’ve not been able to achieve the effect so far. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
I have Flash Pro 8 and the most recent plugin installed. Any help or tips would be greatly appreciated. I’ve scoured the net but not found any tutorials that might deal with the boxes changing angle or bouncing off one another. Gravity and friction concepts i think I have down, and have done some tutorials to that effect. Everything seems to deal with balls hitting - but what happenes with boxes, which rotate and have corners etc…
anyone?
thanks,
Desperately Newb-esque,
Telemole
