We present the Lights Out Game in which the number of cells is randomly generated at runtime with each new game. Thus, the click listeners attached to each square cell have to be created on the fly. The listeners are similar but different for each square. Don't miss this interesting tutorial at flashandmath.com written by James Hamblin.

A new tutorial at flashandmath.com. The tutorial illustrates various ways of controlling at runtime MovieClips created at design time. We start by placing code on a MovieClip's timeline and end by linking MovieClips to custom AS3 classes. We use bubbling liquid and the Cereal Box Problem as examples.

A FP10 experiment at flashandmath.com. We construct an open-sided, interactive cube whose sides are bitmaps. The user can rotate the cube in 3D and change perpective. Sides respond to clicks. Whenever possible, we use simple built-in 3D methods available in Player 10. We use the new AS3 matrix3D class for depths-sorting only. FP10 Beta 1 and FP10 Beta 2 versions are provided.

In this new flashandmath.com tutorial, we deal with the important subject of texture mapping in AS3. We use custom AS3 classes to paste a bitmap image around a sphere and to create a textured sphere. Spheres that we create can be rotated in 3D with the mouse. We give two examples: a wood-textured sphere and a sphere with a beautiful image pasted over it. The examples are easily customizable.
