So I made a movie, then I made a game to go along with it. I made the game in a seperate FLA. After I was done making the game, I went through to make sure I never used _root. I hadn't (I think I'm pretty sure, I've checked a couple times.) I basically copied all four frames of my game and put them in a movieclip in the original movie. However, when I exported this, the game...well, you can see for yourself. It just...doesn't work.Here's the FLA of the game and movie:
I am going to develop a very simple game for android and for iphone/ipad I have the option to develop it in cocos2d or in adobe flash air (i am not a developer, but i have 2 developers who are offering me the service)I have a developer that states that cocos2d is better and other one that states that adobe flash air.I want it in cross platform.the cost offered by both developers is the same..i have heard that adobe air has the flaw that it is very slow, is this real? if you had the 2 options which will you use to develop your game and why?
I'm making a game that populates user-designed cards into the game using an external xml file. My main class loads the xml file and then calls to the "Card" class, which wants to use the xml file. I've tried using this.parent and it just gives me a null object reference error. This is what I have so far: Main.as

I have recently started working with Mahjong game. But being not so experienced developer. I am just confuse about many aspects of it. So if anyone could throw some light on it. I have to build the game where there could be different number of tiles on screen. 32, 48, 64 , 80, 96, 112 and so on Now I have questions regarding the levels of blocks in this game. I mean the layouts of the game should be predefined or they should be dynamically created? Also I wanted to know how the surface of enable and disable symbols are created?
I was trying to make a game, and the character inside the game could swim. However, I only wanted him to swim in short bursts that refueled every time he hit the ground.

im trying to create a tamagotchi game type game. For some reason i can not add any items to the stage.Currently i have imported 2 png images to the stage and coverted them to movie clips. One is called TamagotchiCharacter and the other is called Beer. I have also created a new 2 AS3.0 script class called TamagotchiGame and DraggableItem. The following is TamagotchiGame:
Code: package { import flash.display.MovieClip; public class TamagotchiGame extends MovieClip {
[code]....
I have assigned the above code as the BaseClass of the Beer symbol, this has allowed the beer to become draggable and droppable etc.when i run the program nothing happens, i just get a blank white screen.
It's about the "Game Character Dialogues", It is used to instruct the user what to do, like what you see in BookWorm or Diner DAsh.I used dynamic text fields to generate these dialogues,but as I continued doing it. I found myself stuck.I have no idea on how to change the words when the "next" button is clicked. there will be no previous button. but the dialogue will replay when the character is clicked.
Is there a way to get this code to work? It's meant to count the seconds passed while playing the game and gives a bonus multiplier to the current score when the game ends. I don't know how to get the returned value to combine it into the multiplier int variable. Is there any way to get this code to work or is it completely wrong?
We have a bug in one game whereby the sound of the word repeats. Even when we use stopAllSounds - the sound is still kept in memory and you can hear it in the next activity - it's a disaster and kids get real angry.
I am making a Shooting game in flash actionscript 3 and have some questions about the flow of logic and how to smartly use the OOPs concepts.There are mainly 3 classes:Main Class: Initializes the objects on the screen.Enemy Class: For moving the enemies around on the screen.Bullet Class: For shooting.What I want to do is find out if the Enemy has been hit by a bullet and do things which must be done as a result ...What I am doing right now is that I have a ENTER_FRAME event in which i check collision detection of each enemy unit (saved in an array) with the bullet instance created, and if it collides then perform all the necessary actions in the Main class .. clogging the Main class in the process
well i made a game and in the game there is music at the first frame and when u lose to goes back to first fram and more music plays so they are overlapping.
the problem i get is that when the user selects "new game" it should restart the game. when it does this the toolbar is not reset. instead a new menu item is added (without removing the old one. so evertime the user hits new game, a new "file" menu is added). how do i make sure there is only 1 "File" menu? and im using actionscript 2
When game page loading , the flash game itself does not appear ( just white area as the holder of the flash game) untill the game almost finish downloading, then it appears .. This long waiting with just white area makes visitors leave, thinking there was nothing there.
where to get classes to putting together a board game, free of course.I do not want to use them actually but get the idea of how mine would incorporate into the classes.I have a board game where I want each square on the board to know if it is occupied or not, to change its color, and to keep track of what is actually happening with it.
I am working on a Heads up display and I am having some problems. The Problems are i cant seem to get Flash to do what I want...I am relatively new to flash but I know that I need to use action script 2.0 and Kismet to make what I want happen. (I am using the UDK and Scaleform for the development of the game I am helping with)Here is what I am doing.

If the Player gets hit too much the Heart Beat Monitor will flat line.Then I am making a radar for the hud.
Mainly looking for pointers to the tutorials I am sure exist (but which I can't find). But I am also very open to any general or specific advice you may have to spell out for me in the thread. I am looking to build a PBBG (Persistent Browser Based Game) which, while single player, has some few multiplayer elements. Indirect interaction. One example of this is a commodities market - yes, the good old space trading, fly to one planet and buy, fly to another and sell scenario. I want every player to impact the inventory of each planet, and to have that inventory affect the buy/sell margins, etc. Other Indirect interaction would be bars et al, where players can chat, maybe (a BIG maybe) trade inventory and such. It seems direct, but it is not fighting one another or fighting at each other's side, etc.; so to me it is 'indirect' to the game. But that isn't why I'm here (feel free to impart any wisdom you have anyway, if you so desire); just an aside to explain a bit about the game.
Hello! I'm currently making my own flash game. Everything is going ok for now, but i've come across a problem. I want to add health regeneration things I have spikes which when touched takes 5 from your life, and i'm using the same code, but with the difference that it suppose to add 5 to your life, but it don't. So this is the code that i'm wrote:
Code: onClipEvent (enterFrame) { if (this.hitTest(_root.char)) {
if (_root.health.text < 100) {
_root.health.text += 5 ;
unloadMovie(this);
}
if (_root.health.text > 100) {
_root.health.text = 100;
unloadMovie(this);
}
else if (_root.health.text == 100) { unloadMovie(this);
} }
} So if for instance your health is 85 instead of adding 5 and making it 90 it adds 5 in the back and it becomes 855. What am i doing wrong?!
I am making a space invader game as a uni project. Please seee attched file.I am getting an error:TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at MethodInfo-19()It only happens sometimes when an invader is removed in the moveBullet method I think but basically the game behaves incorrectly and sometimes goes to the You Win frame even if the user has lost or just lost a life.
I am quite new to AS3 and need to pass on functions now.What I have is:
Game.as
BaseScreen.as - Case.as - Menu.as[code].........
Obviously it cannot run openScreen as it is in Game.as, however if I put this piece of code in a new Functions.as and run it it won't run addChild (so it adds nothing to the stage). My question now is: how do I pass on this code properly so I can run it in Menu.as as well?
And I am creating a box game where the user has to avoid the boxes but i want to put lives on so when the user moves over the box one of the lives goes down.
I'm pretty new to flash but recently got an assignment at college to produce a childrens game, I've been following a tutorial online to produce a jigsaw puzzle, so I can get use to actionscript and gain a little experience. I cant get some alignment right. I've followed this tutorial exactly and this is where i am stuck, below are the instructions and how it should look: This is how mine looks, as you can see its out of place:
I am developing a simple drag and drop game..except my draggable items are in a movie clip and my targets are also in a movie clip. My draggable objects work fine, they drag and snap back into place when the mouse is let go, but... they dont snap to their targets.They do snap to their targets when they are directly on the timeline, but inside another movie clip it doesnt work and i can't figure out why.[code]
I am trying to improve a basic paddle ball game by adding one or more targets to be hit by the ball during the game. The idea is targets appear and then when hit by the ball, the player's score is incremented then target is destroyed.
The problem is that a test for collision of ball with target gives an error during compile time as the target does not exist yet. On declaring the target at the start of the game but adding to the stage after a time, still creates the target at position (0,0) as follows[code]...
