Custom number range sliders

I needed a custom range slider for selecting prices. It needed to have two draggers. One of low price, one for high price. Here is the result.

Low and High value is calculated based on the size of the slider track.

Easy to use and easy to customize. Only 3 movieclips make up the whole thing. Doesn’t use annoying built in flash components.

Key Press detection & onEnterFrame in AS3

Posted in Game Examples AS3, Space Shooter

We’re going to make this little asteroid-clone space shooter for AS3 beginners.

It has the basic key press detection (listeners) and an AS3 version of onEnterFrame. We are however going to use classes and packages. Don’t be scared, it’s not complicated.

FreeActionScript.com is celebrating its 1 Year Anniversary today. Thanks to all the fans out there for supporting this site and providing valuable feedback & motivation. In 1 year, 110,000 of you visited the site and loaded 270,000 pages.

What’s next for FreeActionScript?

Full switch to AS3!
I will no longer release AS2 scripts. From now on, all my experiments and examples will be in class based AS3. That means no more timeline actionscript. No worries, I will try to make the transition from AS2 to AS3 as easy to understand as possible.

As always, I am interested in as much feedback as I can get. I welcome suggestions and requests, and hope you guys stick around to see Freeactionscript.com evolve into a bigger, more useful site for all.
