You are lying are you are lazy, subquark...

See this thread...

You should have seen the example long time ago, and have gone through how to move the ball by that time... and you are claiming that you NOW know how to do it??? Bad!!! Ba!!!

A moment when Windows doesn't hate me . . .

Ha ha, nice work on the setInterval() subquark. In addition to CyanBlue's thread, there's this: http://flashkit.com/board/showthread...hreadid=459515

Hee hee, for real though, congratulations, that's a great accomplishment if you've never done that before. Bravo!

[CyanBlue]

Geez... That's quite an answer, retrotron...

So, are you done with the fix and installations???

[retrotron]

Unfortunately, my installations and fixes are not going well at all. I was running Win98SE and Linux (dual boot), but I tried to upgrade to XP for more stability and now Linux won't install at all. Of course, I'm too lazy to go in and do a manual install, that would take me for ever cuz it's a bit too much over my head to be easy. And XP is just plain unstable. It randomly shuts down anytime I run anything "Microsoft" (Outlook, IE, Messenger, etc), including anytime I try and install anything that accesses these programs. I managed to get Firebird running, hence when it's deciding not to bluescreen me I can make a post or two, but this is definitely annoying. It's strange, because I reverted back to all the old hardware and software, but that didn't solve anything, so it's like I cracked my mother board or whatnot. hmmm...no good.

Oh, puuuuuleassssseeee... XP??? Why did you ask for trouble??? Go with W2K...

It sounds like you've got the Macrosoft Windows... Try to install some of those programs from the Apple instead of those from the Microsoft... You know why Firebird is working fine on your computer??? It is because the size of the file is exactly 6.66mb...

Hehe... Put the jokes aside... I hope you get that things fixed soon... Don't forget that we need to get our daily bytecodes from you...

Nothing is more irretating than unstable computer... I need to format and install the whole thing again for the other computer but I am too lazy to do that I guess... (That computer is real unstable as well... )

Well... Good luck... and hope to see you back soon and more often...

he he, well, it's easy to use CyanBlue or Retrotron's code all day long, but I need to spend some time going through and doing basic examples. I have read many books (Kerman, Moock, Reinhardt, et cetera) and understand the concepts but I fail at the syntax. Sort of like an idiot savant, they can play the complex piece but can not read music. So that is me, an actionscript idiot savant . . .

Seriously, what are you guys talking about? My old pc dropped it's ability to connect to anything outside itself so I bought a $400 Dell! That's how I solve an IT problem!

Retrotron,

If you have 300 bucks to spend you should look at vmware, it would allow you to run linux and xp together without dualboot. I haven't used it personally but I have associates who use it quite frequently and love it.

Thanks freddycodes, I'm checking it out now. Maybe I'll have to start putting a few dollars away so I can give it a try.

I wonder if I have other issues to work out first, like why I can't get linux to install at all . . .

[retrotron]

That looks pretty sweet, and there's an eval download. I might try that out.

It looks like it does require a base OS below the virtual layer. I guess I need to get either Linux or XP running stable first, then give it a try . . . hmmm . . . what a sweet tool for development and testing, yeah, I think I'll definitely give it a try.

Have you had your bytecode today?
