Ask a Question / fscommand("quit") doesn't work

« on: February 24, 2012, 08:32:21 am »

Hey guys this might be a bug with the 2.0 nightly, I was creating a method using AS3 and I imported the library:

flash.system.fscommand

I am using the method in this library fscommand("quit"). It works fine with 1.4. If you are wondering why I want to do this, I am competing in a club for my school and one of the requirements is to be able to close the game using the escape key at any time. This might just be because I am using a nightly.

Thanks for the help,

Chit-Chat / Re: Mobile or Web games?

Sponsorships are how flash game developers make their money, but of course not all games will be sponsored.  I don't understand the hype behind mobile games though; isn't the market already flooded by now with many thousands of apps?

That may be true but the key to getting a big on the app store is:

1. Make a high quality app
2. Get featured by apple, like hot new game, game of the week, app of the week, top 100 apps.

If you can get these two aspects you can make a good amount of money, for example when I made my first app with gamesalad it wasn't that good, Cole's game was probably 100x better but I have so far made over $100 and it hasn't been one year yet. So iOS, Android, and Mac i think are the big money makers.

Just my 2 cents

It costs money to port to android, you know.

Also Android publishing costs only $20 for life, once you pay the $20 you can release unlimited amount of apps to the Android Market.

Nightly build can easily be found here:

http://community.stencyl.com/index.php/topic,3874.0.html

I know that, but when I download that file it says it is version 1.4.1 instead of 2.0 i don't know if it is supposed to be that way.

One thing that would help would be to use a functional operating system. Or to use correct English so that we can understand what you're trying to say.

What is wrong with my english? Also I am fine with Mac.

All right thanks, I was confused because the splash screen has to be different resolutions and the default screen size is different.

Hey everyone the screen resolution of an iPhone is 480x320 but the screen dimensions on Stencyl are different. Are you supposed to change it to 480x320.

Thanks youngster9

I have one attached to an actor and another for a scene.

I just put a draw text behavior in the when drawing wrapper. I was just asked how that wrapper is triggered. Do you have to put a code block that has to run the drawing block.
