a 3 hour class... but that's only because I was using the split method incorrectly for a while. It's actually really simple and if I had known how to do everything would only take a few minutes

Also I had a lecture I had to keep some attention on

I worked on it a lot today in class, I just can't figure out a good method to color them >.<
I want it to start with a random bright color and like flicker and dim or something. I guess I could always hard code it into an array...

I can't remember... I usually use 30fps for small simple things like this. if not that it's 24.

Seems like every time I use arrays I end up having to learn about them again. This time I learned how to use the splice method

I tried to make smth with arrays, but my pc becomes very laggy after a while. I bet I should use splice, but it seems like it's not working for me =/

Probably. Read the help about splice, the examples should be exactly what you want.

Indeed. Probably one of the main reasons I've stuck with programming in actionscript so long. Anything else I would have gotten fed up with

Thanks

The filters in flash 8 really make some amazing things possible. It's kinda like the smoke the usually leave behind

huh, the first click gives you a deep blue colored-explosion, now why's that?

Yeah, that's because originally I had them cycle through red green and blue (starting at blue) but when I applied the weird color transform to them the blue just got darker while the other two were interesting. So I took blue out of the cycle and I forgot to make it start on something different :-/ I'd upload a better one, but I've already done so much more work on it so I'll just wait for the next big revision

Indeed

When I came up with the array to hold other arrays I thought I was all smart, but then I realized it's pretty much the same thing as a 2 dimensional array

I do use them with particle based things pretty often, but this time I learned about the split method!

Aah yes. You should check all out all the fun you can have with prototype Movie functions too. If you get arrays the way you appear to, you'll have a field day.

Prototype movie functions? Hmm... I've never even heard this term and apparently neither has the internet Is there some other more common name they would go by?

do the Google search again, but instead of movie use movieClip, and toss the words actionscript 2.0 in there for good measure. A host of fun things will pop up fo sho.
