Yes, it's absolutely fine to use Lacewing for commercial games. I am!

Frame size doesn't make any difference to the frame rate, if that's what people are complaining about. What does tend to impact are the forloops, and doing things with large images (scaling,...

A better solution would be to use Looki's FlashFX extension. Just drop it into every frame, and on at least the first one have a Start of Frame condition with a FlashFX - Stage - Set scale mode to...

I have also heard from Danny that Hide Layer By Name is also broken in the latest update. Perhaps much of the Layer Object has been broken?

I'm using that version with an extra fix or three from Looki. It's here for whoever wants the latest, most-fixed version to work from.

Oooh, but I'm now realising that it's a very similar problem...

The Flash version of Lacewing is a bit of a mess. It has a number of issues that cause a Flash swf to completely lock up, which is pretty disastrous. I don't even think the errors are that hard to...

Looks like a real arcade site! You'll be sponsoring games in no time. ;)

The GET object is what you're looking for, it's ported to Flash.

I told James about this on instant messenger, but thought I'd throw it up here as well. There's a bug with Lacewing Flash apps where they don't receive stack messages from the server. Here's an...

That's a good idea! A simple extension that does sitelocking well, something where you can specify a list of domains that it should work on.

Actually it was an exclusive deal for Nickelodean, so they could put in on the sites they owned. It was pretty good!


Mostly, yes. I think it was Sortacore, sorry, Phi, who got something as close...

I haven't had issues like these, and my current project is a Flash+Lacewing game. I primarily use Binary messages though. What server are you using/running?

Oh my oh my. This is an extension and a half. Nice one Looki, I can't wait!

Are you running a Flash Policy Server? They're necessary for .swfs to allow connections to a server. There's an example that comes with pyLacewing.

I see. All but my last project haven't been properly worth my time for the money, but that last project makes up for the previous ones. Of course, for me, I'm simply using game development to pay my...

Could you go into that a little more, where do the losses come from? Does it not work out to a good hourly wage, or are there other expenses?

Box.net is a place that you upload files to or download files from. It isn't a webserver, that is, it won't host the html files for you in the way that you want.

You'll need to upload both of them. The html file embeds the flash file inside it, so when your browser reads the html file, it goes and looks for the flash file to load into the page.

You are reading the short from 1, when really it is at 2. A short has two bytes worth of data. Just change the second parameter to two, where you are changing the Y position, and it should work fine.

Oh, very nice. This really is just a very useful extension, thanks for working on it.

As far as my understanding goes, it is actually saved into your cookies, not in the traditional .ini file on your hard drive deal like you would expect.

As far as I know, half of the Mochi coins extension's Actions still do not work.

So cool. Thank you StephenL, seems like a great extension, can't wait to try it out.

If you have the Server sending a message 'To Channel' then you need to receive that with 'On Text Message from Server', it doesn't trigger 'On Text Channel message'.

Yes, that is correct. One way to make this faster is to type 1000 in your games FPS box, so the frame rate will be as high as possible and MMF2's event loop will run more times a second.

Unless I'm mistaken, Steven got it sponsored which is preferable to Mochi.

Congrats Steven, 1 million plays is a lot. I'm not quite there yet. :(

An extension for extension developers? No, it's an Actionscript object.

Best to just wait till the end of the month when (maybe) the new Flash update is released, with an object that will allow any API to be called.

Would absolutely love to see this converted to Flash. I'm sure you've been asked a million times already, but thought I might just make it a million and one.

Oh gosh, so it is a bug. I thought I was doing something crazy with positions.

Very much looking forward to a fix for this bug.

That is just excellent news, really, congrats!

You got sponsored then? Congrats! :D (Just assuming a sponsor sent you a .swf to implement)

I really don't think there is much demand for this. You could contract a Flash extension developer if you really need it.

Yeah, this doesn't have anything to do with lacewing, you are right when you say it has to do with the Rich Edit object.

Here's an example that should help.

All the games on ActiveDen are made available to be opened in Flash CS3/4, or Flex Builder, or just the plain Action Script, so I doubt just an .swf file will suffice.

We're talking server controlled games here LB. As in the logic is server-side.

No plans for more Lacewing tutorials right now. Maybe in the future, and when the Lacewing Server extension is more mature and stable.

Your best option would be to try and implement the Lacewing protocol into Purebasic. Going to be tricky, but Lacewing is the best by a long way in terms of networking for MMF2 right now.

Distance joints are working perfectly. For now, at least, I haven't stuck anything on the end yet, but if I throw the hexagon at it, it never messes up no matter how hard.

The hard thing now is...

Hello, so I've made a chain by jointing a bunch of bodies together using the Box2D extension. Here is the file:
