Topic, Game "Path 4 Mouse (old)"

  Woop! Just crashed Flash! Screw that for now, I'll try again when I get back from holiday. (I'm leaving very soon)

  it would help a lot and toggle-able so it's not a nusiance when not needed :)

  Nice one.

  idea: for big tiles make it remove what's in the area of it (check box)
for example filling the area with wall and placing a spinner in will remove the 7x7 area of wall the spinner is in

  roflmao ^^

  Yay!
The problem was that hitTest() work-around. I included it in the editor as well, and it was proably messing up because I used it twice.
That would explain why there was no slow-down or other problems, just that things stopped responding to input.

  hmm...idk i'll keep looking when I can be bothered ;)

  Nope, the problem still exists...

  you never know...AS2 in AS3 = WTF BOOM

  I don't think that's it, but I'll give it a shot.

  I think I might have it...
you've been using 'var BLManager' which could cause it to become global...it's worth a try removing the 'var' bit as I don't use it...
[edit] lol just saw you post on another forum are you actually on holiday? :P

  I've tried to find a solution, but I have no idea what is causing the probelm.

I've uploaded my project to Mediafire. I'm going on holiday for a few days now, so if anybody would like to have a peek and see if they can find the bug while I'm away, that would be very much appreciated. Cheers! ;)

  @gecko, becareful with as2. The flash virtual machine will merge all static variables of embedded swf. Also, if you are using classes in your project, and those classes being used by both the editor and the game, you need to compile and upload both swf each time you modify those classes.

This doesn't happen with as3.

  Don't get too excited! I'll be deleting all the scores once the game engine becomes stable!

  Wee, it's fun to have a such low score compared to others :)

  So even though I'm allowed to have two variables with the same name in the editor and engine, are you trying to say I am not allowed to have two funcions with the same name? The bug must be a conflict between the editor and engine, because like I said, the bug only happens if you play a level and edit a level in one session.
I'll investigate it when I'm next on my laptop, as I'm posting from my iPod right now.

  roflmao that would be a fail

  It's possible that you're accidentally overwriting or deleting your level loading functions.

  id see what happens but net refuses so cant help :_
will tomorrow works before 4pm

  It's really strange... There is no crashing, no perforance issues, animation runs fine, and the debug console says nothing strange...
It's as if all the code just stops performing. How bizarre.

  best guess BLAPI bug...what does the debug console say in BLAPI?

  Can anybody think of a common reason for why the game and editor both stop working if you play a level and edit a level in the same session? (by 'session' I mean spending time on the page without refreshing or reloading the Flash movie)

  to be safe I think you should output the level BEFORE removing newlines

  I think it was between 300 and 400 characters... I originally did it as an easy way to grab the level data from buggy levels, then I removed the newlines from the levelToArray function without thinking it would make any difference.

  That sounds possible. Do you know approximatively how much characters you were trying to output on one line of the console ?

  Well, it's BL's fault again, but it is perfectly reasonable - I can understand how there might be a limit on how much you can output to the debug console on one line at once.

  lol so it's BLs fault AGAIN? XD

  yay, it doesn't crashes!

  Yayzorz! I think I fixed it!
In the blEditLevel() function, I traced the level data to the BL debug console (accessed by pressing D and C at the same time).
I think that the problem was maybe that the debug console could not handle such a large amount of data on one line, and so it crashed. This would explain why it worked with the old data: all the old levels have newlines in them to make them more readable, while the new ones are all crammed onto one line because they are no longer made in a text editor. Sounds reasonable?

  but it's still the compression, the compressed data caused the bug :P
even though it's gone it caused it all and also your level trimming code should ensure array size of 20x20
[edit] I didn't miss your edit my post is 20 minutes after yours...
