Box Progress

I haven't posted much on the progress of my flash box, so here it is. This is the chess game where you have to take 5 pawns in order to reveal 5 things about me. These include...


  • A drum kit

  • A song by my band

  • My avatar

  • Photos of me and some friends

  • A short profile about me


Here is the title screen...


This is the main interface...


Here is the short profile about me (check out the awesome blog URL)...


Everything is pretty much going according to plan, although I'm having a little difficulty getting sound to work. It appears AS3 focuses more of the use of externally sourced sound, all I can seem to find is this...

var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("track.mp3");
var your_sound:Sound = new Sound();
your_sound.load(request);

EDIT (06/05/2008): After talking to Tom Pearson he quickly resolved this sound problem for me. It appears sound doesn't have to take part in action script, sound is simply dragged into frame and properties set to play or stop.

How about a posting discussing your identities project now is concluded?
