Hey Guys,
it’s a very good tutorial but there is one problem. The ball is never stoping, i mean the ball x and y position is never 0 it’s always a little bigger. How can i fix it? I thought with Math.floor( xspeed * 0.95 ); but it doesn’t work.
please help me and sorry for my bad english. ;)

Hey Emanuele

“1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: ball.

Quintus,

“private” denotes that the function is private as opposed to public. A private function can only be accessed from inside its package. In other words, it can’t be accessed by code in another package or class file.

“render” in this case is simply the name of the function

“void” means that the function does not return any data to the main program.

AS3 seems so difficult.
for example:
private function render(e:Event):void {

private? what the hell?
render: why does it need to be there?
void: really no @#!#$% idea.
e: o.o omg what does it all mean

it would be better to have every line explained, just reading the tutorial i have like… 20 million?… ok 25 millions doubts, but i guess it’s too hard to explain everything in a single post, so im gonna have to search a little XD

but the tuts are great =) the kind of tuts i look for when i need to learn about anything =)

Great tutorial, just what I was looking for. I simplified a little (I had no need for class) and works realy well. Many thanks.

Oh and another thing; Should I use the “Modify” -> “Movie Clip” on the ball I drew on the Stage. No specifics are drawn to that either… yes, I am n00b…

Unfortunately, that’s the only way I learn… everything, absolutely EVERYTHING told to me in a very anal way
OR
I don’t learn… AT ALL :\

Sorry for double post. (Yes, ironic I know)

Hrmm… same problemo as Diego. I (assume I) did everything the same as the tutorial. It’s either because I’m doing it on a iMac (tut. is on Windows) OR because I’m not setting up all my properties correctly.

To find out what’s going on with my CS3, please can you be more specific as to these questions?

Should I use “Object Drawing Mode”?
Should I create a separate layer for the code? (On a different tutorial for AS3, a separate Layer 2 for code was created which, btw, worked…)

Can’t think of anything else at this stage. Help would obviously be appreciated.
