I'm trying to get the enemy offstage to enter the stage on the right and then once its x position equals 400 I want it to start moving back and forth (on x, there's no y movement).
View 7 Repliesi have one movieclip and i have another movieclip>enemy...okay so when the first movieclip goes over the enemy, nothing happens until i roll out! all i want to do is the movieclip, when it hits the enemy, it goes to the enemy's second frame and that's it ! there are no syntax error in this script, just something i want to do that apparently doesn't work right.here is my code:
Code:
onClipEvent (load) {
speed = 2;[code]...
Alright, so really I am having 2 difficulties here.
1) When a bullet hits an enemy, if 2 zombies are beside eachother, the bullet hits them both -- How can I make it so the bullet can only hit one?
2) When an enemy has health of 0, it dies, I am trying to get the enemy to be removed from the array that the bullet searches through so it will no longer be affected by the enemy, but it doesnt seem to work, the bullet still hits where the enemy was, as if the enemy is invisible.

I am currently making a game, similar to StreetFighter,where enemies will come on from the side and you fight them. Now i have the character movement and attacks fully scripted, and have made an enemy, and i make it move towards the character using:
onClipEvent(load){
movethy = 7;
scale = _xscale;[code].....
Now this works quite well and the enemy stops when it hits the character, but the problem is, it wont complete a full attack, instead it plays a few frames of the attack MC. Now i have every attack in a different MC (Frames 2-5) inside the Enemy MC. How can i make the enemy pause when it reaches the character, then choose an attack to use? From there i'll be on my way and can script the hittest and so forth.
I have a ball (instance name is "ball") and if I hit the enemy ball (instance name is "enemy") it'll dissappear, and add 100 points. At the same time, I want them to multiply and get faster.The enemy has a follower code:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (_root.ball._x>_x) {
_x += 2;[code]....
And the ball has a code that is secret because if I give it to you it'll spoil the game idea.The dynamic text box has an instance of "points".I have my mute sound control done and the ball you control done.
Bug in Firefox if wmode is set to opaque or transparent.mouseUp is not triggered if mouseUp occurs offstage.I have slider code that should stopDrag on mouseUp, but if mouseUp occurs off stage, the slider stays connected to mouse on re-entry, even though the mouse is now up.Bug does not occur in other browsers, and does not occur if wmode is null.I have tried every variable and every fix I can think of, and can't resolve the issue.I have multiple versions now in AS2 and AS3 and I've followed every suggestion I've found online, including html/flash javascript.

View 6 RepliesI'm trying to get my flash movie so that it pauses when the mouse is over the movie and continues when the mouse is not over the movie during certain segments of frames in my movie clip.

View 1 RepliesI am working through the Adobe Flash Professional CS5 Classroom in a Book.The exercise is to enter TLF text onto the stage, when I do so all I get is a blue outlined box that appears in the upper left corner of the stage. I do not get a text cursor.When I open the supplied reference file for that chapter it also shows a number of blue outlined boxes, all in the upper left hand corner of the stage. When selected the properties manager indicates they are TLF text.

I´m trying to catch KEY_UP event if I press ENTER, without clicking on stage.
I´ve already disabled keyboard shorcuts for flash player, and added stage.focus = stage.
Not succeeding.
It only works if I click on stage.
It seems that for the other keys the KEY_UP works.
I'm making a game and need to know how to make enemies enter the stage from random directions, and then move around the screen randomly aswell.
View 1 Repliesi've a problem with my setFocus. i will use [n] to identfy the line in the code. this is a MouseEvent.CLICK - function from an other dynamic,non-selectable textfield. the textfield in work is one with an embeded font and some text in it.if i use line [3], i'll get the no blinking courser and no possibility to enter some words. also if i mark some other and click after that in the input-textfield directly there will no courser anymore.but this only happens in the first time using the swf. if i first click into the input-textfield, then set the focus to something else and trying the steps i wrote over here, everything works fine.

I have a TextArea chat input and a button to send the text, the TextArea is multiline and so captures the Enter key to jump one line... What I need is to send the message with the Enter key and jump with a Ctrl+Enter combination... My ideas were to disable the bubbling of the Enter key, trap it, and then manually assign the Ctrl+Enter combination to jumping the line in TextArea but couldn't find how to do all this...

View 2 RepliesI've been trying to make my somewhat first game, and got stuck. Trying to make the "Enemy UI".
You don't need any background info.
Enemy is at 100X and 200Y.
Make him move to 350X and 50Y. ( in a somewhat animation )
So I was thinking, check if Current X is smaller or bigger than 350, then every frame (or by Time Animation ), do x++ or x-- Accordingly.
Same for the Y.
Is there a better way to it? Something that will make the animation smoother? A way that's better, can be "upgraded" in the future?
Excuse me, I'm making a flash game. But, it's kinda odd. I'm using Adobe Flash CS3 and Windows7 64-Bit as OS. Here's the link (around 1MB (FLA and SWF)) : [URL] The problem is : When I shoot using 'A' or 'S', the foliage or the enemy just disappear. Sometimes it's fine, sometimes it's wrong. Is my AS wrong ? Or is it because I'm using Windows 7 64-Bit ? It's for my final assignment. I've tried this past 2 days and I don't know what to do anymore >.< The deadline is this month.

View 7 Repliesi.e. everytime the spaceship reaches a point a new one will be created randomly and the ship is flying to it (etc., etc.)Problem is that it doesn't really work because after the ship flies around for some time it suddenly stops to move. It's a matter of time. Sometimes the problem occurs after 5 seconds then again the spaceships flies around for 2 - 3 minutes and stops the movement immediately.Currently I have no clue where the problem is. I already checked the distance function but so far it seems to be okay
