**do you think you could really learn it in a day? a day isn’t that long.
is it 24 hours, or a day. cause 24 hours could really be a half-hour lesson every day for 48 days, which is a very long time. **
Actually I read the first 4 hours in an hour
Thanks lost, that was exactly what I was looking for. Now last question. I don’t want to get confused when I start ActionScript and put in JavaScript syntax and stuff. The functions may be the same, but is their exact syntax the same too? Like where the parenthesis and brackets and stuff are? I mean, would this work in the right situation in AS?:
function Hello(name) {
alert("Hello, " + name);
}
later
Hello(“Arjun”);
And it would display “Hello Arjun?”
I know that the function alert probably won’t work, but will the brackets, etc. work? Geez this is confusing to explain via typing
Check out all the .html files in there… That’s what I’m working on… Check out the .fla files too if you wanna see how they are done… The particle engine you see used there is old though… I just created a new one last night… That can include fading or exploding in it
Well, I know that originally I was kicking my butt for not being a flash god, but I just wanted to let you guys know that I’m at the point where I feel I can pretty much do anything in Flash. I don’t have that much experience with it, but I’ve played around with it long enough to have a good feeling about it. And this is in part because of all the help I’ve received in kirupaforums… thanks to Kirupa, Lost, Playa, EG, David, Kit, Renni, and all the other people who have helped me out.
I want to say something about programming skills and knowing how to program in AS. They’re completely different things. I know many programmers who can’t do crap in AS. But give them some other language and they’ll create some pretty awesome stuff.
For all the things I’ve done in Flash, I’ve been using mostly the knowledge I learned in H.S. So when it comes to doing a gravity simulation like playa’s, it’s not really my knowledge of flash that helps, but my knowledge of how physics work. The most important thing when it comes to programming is not knowing the syntax of the code, but having a clear idea in your head as to how you’re going to do it. With a clear idea, you’ve done 80% of the work.
So for those of you who are in hs still, pay attention. I payed attention in H.S., and I’m still amazed by how all the useless crap I learned is paying off right now.
