Actually, the list is probably going to have to jump to 3 posts soon, both posts are nearing the character limit, what with all the URL shit required for links.
u should make an AS: Request page so that people can request AS tuts =D
If you want a tut, request it in this thread. That's part of its purpose. Just make sure that your request hasn't already been covered.

I'm almost positive that this hasnt been covered. But i would love to see a tut. on how to make something throwable. Like you grab it with the mouse and throw it. Where the distance, height, angle, etc. depend on the way you throw it. Like in that game "Defend your castle." Which I'm assuming you've played :P

Actually, the code I posted in API had none of the onEnterFrame stuff in it, so it's pretty useless. This is a very distilled version of the code I used in Throw It, just create a new ball MC and add this (I can't be bothered making an AS: thread to explain it):
onClipEvent(load){
vx=2; vy=0;
gravity=3;
friction=10;
pressed=0;
w2=_width/2;
xMin=w2;
yMin=_height;
xMax = Stage.width-w2;
yMax = Stage.height-w2;
}
onClipEvent(enterFrame){
SW=Stage.width; SH=Stage.height;
xm=_root._xmouse; ym=_root._ymouse;
if(!pressed){
if(vx>0.5 || vx<0){ _x+=vx;}
vy+=gravity;
_y+=vy;
if(_y>yMax){_y=yMax; vy*=-.85; vx*=(100-friction)/100;}
if(_x>xMax){_x=xMax; vx*=-.9}
else if(_x<xMin){_x=xMin; vx*=-.9;}
}else{
if((_x<0+(w2) && ym<0) || (_y>SH-(w2) && ym>SH) || (_y<-(SH/2) && ym<-(SH/2))){
pressed=0;
}else{
_x=xm; _y=ym;
vx=_x-oldX; vy=_y-oldY;
oldX=_x; oldY=_y;
}
}
}
on(press){ pressed=1;}
on(release, releaseOutside){ pressed=0;}

one thing that would be cool would be a "AS: starting AS" thread which gave links to were to start, what sites are good etc, and just basically provided a list to tut's on kirupa, AS.org, AS:Main and any others that gave you an order to learning.
if theres something like this then can someone give me a link? i decided to start learning, basically just by playing around with flash atm

There's an absolute shitload under the 'Other Useful Links' section, in the second post. I'll be adding The Big Tutorial List by IWantSomeCookies to that section on the next update, too.
AS:BitmapData -basic by me, I finally got around to it =O
Probably deserves advanced section.. or at least intermediate. I will probably make another later on (advanced) though it won't be for some time, it will cover some geom classes seen as they're a big part of BitmapData.
Sup, bitches :)
HELP :( I am doing the password AS here's the code:
on (press) {
if(_root.pass=="password") {
gotoAndPlay (2);
}else {
gotoAndPlay (3);
}
}
I know that is correct and i have followed the isntructions but it only goes to the next frame (the correct frame number 2) and if i enter the pass wrong it goes to correct it never goes to incorrect.

Sure you made a 3rd frame with "Wrong password"?

I have a feeling you have your frame numbers confused, maybe you should try using lables, name the frames "correct", and "incorrect"
on (press) {
if(_root.pass=="password") {
gotoAndPlay ("correct");
}else {
gotoAndPlay ("incorrect");
}
}
hope that works.

Cool. I'll put it under Advanced.

Had to reshuffle everything this time (post char limit blehh), some of the GENERAL got moved to SPECIFIC.
I'm off tomorrow, so next update will be by Inglor. Make sure you link your AS: Threads in here to make his life easier.
Lol, I saw page 28, as main and realised that its a new page. Then I saw liam lasted posted.
I thought liam made 28 and Denvish wasnt the first posted of the thread :o.
Anyway, good luck Inglor hope it goes well.
Come on all, slash clap Inglor!

I was wondering what you would do in order to make a mouse cursor that follows the mouse. But isnt just this._x = _xmouse. I mean like followes where the mouse just was. Or how you'd make something like in gel's Wink: the Game
Someone please tell me. Thanks a ton :)

...is there something like key.isDown... but for release...like: key.isReleased?
I'm using a key press as a 'toggle' but ...right now if it's held down... it flickers between options. I want it to stop on the press/release...and wait for the next full press/release to work again. What would be the best way to do that? (sorry if I didn't explain that very well!)
Hey Denvish, I was just playing your Dart 3D game again to try to remember what part of my music you used, but my music no longer worked.
How do I access the second soundtrack in it? I thought i just clicked the thing in the top right twice...
No more animated sigs. :(
The estimated time left is possible but it would be grossly innacurate. You could just check the bytes loaded over a specified amount of time and then multiply that out for the total bytes. It would work similiar to a fps counter. All you need to know is getTimer() getBytesLoaded() getBytesTotal() and a little algebra.

Downloads of stuff off the internet have estimated times and they are very accurate. (see attached pic)
I do not know how to use actionscript; I am a complete noob with it. If anyone has nothing better to do, could you write said actionscript for me? It would be just about the coolest thing ever!
thanks for this:
i just made a little static class to do this for loading the movie itself as an extension on my original Preloader class
Preloader.init();
Preloader.onComplete = function(){};
Preloader.onUpdate = function(){};
inside of the onUpdate are 3 variables: the percent loaded, the current transfer speed and time remaining: percent is rounded to 1dp, transfer speed is in Kb/s and is rounded to 2dp, time remaining is an object containing the hours left, minutes left and seconds left (seconds rounded to 0dp)
inside of the onComplete is 1 variable, the time it took to load: an object in the same format as the time remaining object
http://media.putfile.com/testPreloader80
heres a little sample
you can see that the time remaining is jumping around between 2 seconds of the time remaining, (if it does) thats because of the way the transfer speed jumps around which isnt to do with my class
