Feel free to tackle that. There's only one outstanding issue with Flash to be aware of, that you can't set the mouse position. This comes into play when you start mouselooking then come out of it, your cursor will be somewhere other than where you left it. I have heard the workaround might be to set it in Windows via dll bind, but not tested that. It would be cool to have the UI start to catch up to the rules, so good luck!", "group_id": 4266, "id": 205726}, {"user_id": 11689, "stars": [], "topic_id": 6790, "date_created": 1298607505.8569379, "message": "DllBind likes me, maybe I can extend the relationship", "group_id": 4266, "id": 205758}, {"user_id": 13238, "stars": [], "topic_id": 6790, "date_created": 1298659226.6103439, "message": "We are using AS/Flash/Scaleform for our current project so i know the code side, but i'm not really into AS", "group_id": 4266, "id": 210271}, {"user_id": 11689, "stars": [], "topic_id": 6790, "date_created": 1298673299.1582229, "message": "Just something simple like receiving an event when the UnrealScript has acquired a lock-on on a target so I know when the turn on the targetting reticle", "group_id": 4266, "id": 211838}, {"user_id": 11689, "stars": [], "topic_id": 6790, "date_created": 1298673320.6922071, "message": "Or something even more complex like syncing a floating indicator over an enemy", "group_id": 4266, "id": 211841}, {"user_id": 11689, "stars": [], "topic_id": 6790, "date_created": 1298673150.3346231, "message": "I read a UDK doc on getting the screens in the engine and displaying, but I am unclear about what kind of relationship UnrealScript and ActionScript can have", "group_id": 4266, "id": 211830}, {"user_id": 13238, "stars": [], "topic_id": 6790, "date_created": 1298681176.2110031, "message": "actually, you dont really need actionscript, most of the stuff can be achieved by simply sticking to unreal script, of course you can use AS but i think UC is faster.
