Dear flash coders, I've created a class representing playing cards and it works quite well for me:
http://preferans.de/flash/Card.as http://preferans.de/flash/Card.fla To reduce the file size (from 300K to 120K), I don't keep images of complete 32 cards in the library, but instead I hold the 4 suit images (spades, hearts, clubs, diamonds) and 4 x 3 pictures (jack, queen and king) there and then create a card image "on the fly": public function set index(n:Number):Void { __index = n; pic_mc = this.createEmptyMovieClip('pic_mc', 10); var depth:Number = 10; var rank:Number = CARDS[n].rank; var suit:Number = CARDS[n].suit; var color:String = suit < DIAMONDS ? 'Black' : 'Red'; var eye:String = (UNKNOWN == rank || (JACK <= rank && rank <= KING)) ? CARDS[n].label : eye = SUITS[suit]; for (var key:String in EYE_POS[rank]) { var pos_obj:Object = EYE_POS[rank][key]; pic_mc.attachMovie(eye, eye + depth + '_mc', depth++, pos_obj); } // ...and so on: attach 2 card indices in the corners } Those suits and jack-queen-king images are all MovieClips in the library, with the following settings: Identifier: Hearts Class: Export for ActionScript [X] Export for runtime sharing [_] Export in first frame [X] My problem is that when I'm trying to postpone loading those MovieClips by unchecking the "Export in 1st frame" and by setting File->Publish Settings...->Flash-> ActionScript 2.0->Settings...->Export Frame for Classes to 2 or 10, then my movie stops working: the cards are empty, no suits and no jack-queen-kings are shown. Also my preloader TextField only show ups shortly :-( Does it make any sense to convert the MovieClips to Graphics in the library? The "Export in 1st frame" check box is (sometimes???) greyed out then... Thank you Alex PS: Here is the code from my Actions layer (to be found in http://preferans.de/flash/Card.fla ) stop(); var depth:Number = 10; var load_txt:TextField = this.createTextField('load_txt', depth++, Stage.width / 2, Stage.height / 2, 300, 100); onEnterFrame = function() { var loaded:Number = getBytesLoaded(); var total:Number = getBytesTotal(); load_txt.text = loaded + ' / ' + total; if (loaded >= total && loaded > 100) { delete onEnterFrame; gotoAndPlay('MAIN'); } }; //////////////////// And in the frame "MAIN" /////////// stop(); load_txt._visible = false; for (var i:Number = 0; i < Card.CARDS.length; i++) { var card_mc:MovieClip = this.attachMovie('Card', 'card' + i + '_mc', depth++); with (card_mc) { index = i; _x = card_mc._width / 2 + Math.floor(Math.random() * (Stage.width - card_mc._width)); _y = card_mc._height / 2 + Math.floor(Math.random() * (Stage.height - card_mc._height)); _rotation = Math.floor(Math.random() * 9 - 4); addEventListener('clicked', this); } } function clicked(evt_obj:Object):Void { var card_mc:MovieClip = evt_obj.target; // put the clicked card at the top card_mc.swapDepths(depth++); } _______________________________________________ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com
