Back to the ASPX/SQL to AS3 project, getting strage results from the custom split class I made.

FINALLY built an AS2 version of SmokeTrail. Initial testing completed, will work into System Defense and then get the UI designed. After that, I think all that will be needed is code to set and control "rounds" for the user and some feedback.

No progress this week, been busy working on a Flash/ASPX/SQL prototype by day and fencing and foxhunting (not the fun type) in my spare time.

AS3 version initial testing completed - Thanks to AbeAll for his suggestion.

Finished initial RE-design (4th version now) of SmokeTrail. Just have to have time to code and test it.

After doing addional analysis on SystemDefense and its classes, SmokeTrail is still causing the gameplay to slow down.

I'm Looking for a couple of folks to help critique and optimize some AS2 code. Send me a message if you are interested.

Made progress on the HelpPanel system. Working out some additional dynamic parts. It's essentially a horizontal menu with text panels that fade in. The return button fades the entire system out and resets the focus to the first panel.

Beginning work on the UI. I built a system in AS2 and AS3 awhile back for a helpmenu. I'm going to start with that code and hopefully make a more advanced menu system for this. helpPanel used fading for each help text section and the Indicator slid (tweened) to the button pressed.

Ah - left something out in a previous post. The explosions and explosion classes have been renamed to explode and explosion. This allows me to create a combination of the two and call that explosions.

Just a thought...
