ActionScript 2.0 :: [MX]First Person Shooter - Use The Spacebar To Switch Between The Ones Being Viewed?
Apr 30, 2003
I have figured out how to duck out of enemy site. I need to know if i can have two layers running the same thing at the same time, but only one is viewed and you use the spacebar to switch between the ones being viewed. For example one layer is a person ducked behind a box and getting shot at and the other is a person standing in the open getting shot at, to switch from the ducked to the standing you have to use the spacebar. Is this possible?

I havent used flash in years and I wanted to make a game. Ive made a few before but i didnt ever finish them and now i dont have them anymore. I wanna make this game where you are this man that can move around. (i can remember how to do that) and you shoot these huge exploding cats. How do i make the person shoot when you press the spacebar?How do i make the barrel of the gun follow the mouse and the bullets shoot that way?

I'm making a flash game (a first person shooter game) For the Flash I have a cross hair as the cursor so that it looks like a sniper scope. I'm trying to get a code so that when you click, the crosshair (cursor) changers color. So far, my actionscript for the crosshair cursor is:

im trying to make a third-person shooter game similiar to those "hide" when you press Down and "attack mode" when you stand Up, sort of like Time Crisis.I've done first person shooter games before.The hero character's move clip contains three clips, one of him in hiding, one in attack mode, and the last being hit. How do I script it such that the "hide" clip does not receive any commands from the enemy clip (which tells the hero clip to advance to "hit" clip and lose a health").

When it starts, I switch tab to nr.2 (default is tab 1). I need to be able to hold down spacebar and drag the mouse to pan, but when I do this it switches back to the first tab. So the spacebar is triggering it to switch. I've tried using a custom lass that extends tabNavigator, like the code below, but it's not working. Also tried setting focusEnabled = false without luck.

I have an interactive story divided into scenes. At the end of each scene a button appears. This occurs on a frame on the timeline.
There are two different buttons that might appear based on whether a prior scene has been viewed or not.
For example, there are Scene_1 and Scene_2. At the end of Scene_2 one of two buttons will appear. The buttons will be either "Go see Scene_1" or "Return to Main Menu".
If the user has already seen Scene_1, Flash will know that and automatically go to the frame in Scene_2 that contains the button "Return to Main Menu".
Conversely, if the user has not seen Scene_1, Flash will know and automatically go to the frame in Scene_2 that contains the button "Go see Scene_1".
I imagine there would be an action frame at the end of Scene_2 that will contain the as2 code to enable this action.
Perhaps something like, but probably not at all like the following:
if ("Scene_1", last frame == true){gotoAndPlay("frame#");}else{gotoAndPlay("frame#");}

If I have a xml document as such
<people><person>
<name>person</name>
</person><person>
<name>person1</name>
</person><people>
and so on...
How would I go through this?
Currently I am doing something like:
set.name = info.person.name[0];
set.name = info.person.name[1];
How would I use a for loop to go through and do the same thing for any amount of person tags?

I am using Flash 8, AS2. I have a nice code library called the Fisix Engine. Within the unzipped folder is the subfolder 'Bin' and within is an empty folder named 'generated' and FisixEngine, a seemingly non-editable 'Flash Component File'. At the moment, this Flash Component File rests in C:Program FilesMacromediaFlash 8FisixEngine_Alpha_0.5Bin ... but where is it supposed to go? I have heard that it doesn't matter where. In that case, what is the best practice?
EDIT: For that matter, I cannot even seem to get this component file to be listed in my components browser no matter what I do with it. Furthermore, the examples included #include files which appear to be HTML files instead of .as files. This confuses me very much... What's the fastest way to organize this so that I can make instances of the custom classes included in the component?

I have a simple shooting game set up. 25 monsters appear on the screen, one after another, until no monsters are left. If you hit one before it disappears, the score increases. If you don't, the score stays the same.
In the actions frame, I placed an empty dynamic text box named score, and set it equal to 0 (declared in the main actions frame). But, seeing as though the monster actions are coded into the library item itself, do I have to declare score, and the score increase there instead?

I've only played around with a dressup and dating sim - and coding using actionscript (and coding in general, only done a little bit of VB and Python before). I've been following a nice arcade side-scroller tutorial on this site which has three parts, if you want to view and go over them to help. It was designed for Flash 5 and I'm using Flash 8 Pro.[code]Anyway, as I was going through and coding/drawing the whole thing I came across a lot of problems and glitches (and a lot of times when the game coding would crash and I'd have to abort it and remake the entire coding again). I sort of stumbled around blindly, deleting and editing code to get things to work, and I'm up to the point where I'm almost finished with the thing. It's still glitchy though.I was wondering if any Flash coders could help me out?I'm going to be creating a Flash game for my programming class and I would prefer if it wasn't screwy (if I need to remake it with less cutesy graphics). xD;; If you could download the .Fla file and fix the coding problems I have.
Playable SWF game on my deviantart account.FLA downloadable file (@ Mediafire; no viruses, trojans, blahblah attached)The enemies tend to randomly explode before the missile has even hit them.The original enemy movie clip doesn't even want to explode.The score counter won't tick for each kill.The boundary box (?) of the player/enemy seems to be too big. You die before you should - in certain positions the enemy gets close and I guess the boundary boxes hit, which initiates the hitTest. It seems premature though, I'm wondering if I can reduce the boundary box, or have it so the enemy and player collide on the actual graphic, and not the movie clip box? I have no idea if this makes sense, I hope it does.There seems to be a bunch of other small glitches too.

I'm very new to flash,and have been digging through google and this site for information on how to piece together an AS2 shooter game.Its going well enough, but I'm having slowdown issues the longer the games runs, and I was hoping someone here could point me in the right direction.To paste an enemy movie clip on the screen, i'm using this:
Code:
var spawn =_root.attachMovie("monster1","monster1"+_root.getNextHighestDepth(),_root.getNextHighestDepth())[code]........
I need them stored in an array so that the player's shots can test weather or not they've hit any monster on the bullet's enter frame function, then call that monster's movie clip's take damage function. I'm using a for loop to do this:
Code:
for(var i in _root.player.foes){
if (this.hitTest(_root.player.foes[i])){
_root.player.foes[i].takedamage();}
}
I think the problem with the slowdown is that each time I place an enemy on the screen the array gets bigger and bigger. The slowdown only happens while the player is shooting, and I suspect the ever longer for loop with the hit testing is causing it.
I'm already removing the monster's movie clips as they get killed or exit the screen, I guess what I need is a way to reduce the size of the array at the same time, or at least tell the for loop not to do a hit test unless the monster is still alive.

I'm trying to code the space bar key as a pause/play function in my flv player. I'm using Lee Brimlow's flv player tutorial as a model for my flv player so essentially it's driven via netstream coding. I've tried two different codes, code 1 being something I used a while back on another project and code 2 something I've been trying (hoping) would work better.

I've been posting a few things about input and dynamic text in Flash on here I know, but this one has just got me stumped. Do input text fields not recognize the spacebar? I was typing in my input text field in my movie, and noticed I couldn't add space between words.Any way to work around this, or is my little brain just missing something again?

Im making a rock band 2 drum style game and i've come across a problem. Whenever theres 2+ notes together, all i have to do is hold down the button ( in this case space ) and it hits both of them without any penalty (which i havnt come across yet). But what i would liek it to do is that when u come across these notes you have to release space then press it again or else the note wont hit. Here is the code i am currently using.
onClipEvent(enterFrame){if(_root.hitspace.hitTest(this)&&(Key.isDown(key.SPACE))){ _root.score+=50; _root.streak+=1; unloadMovie(this)}if(_root.spacehitbad.hitTest(this)){ _root.score-=50; _root.streak=0; unloadMovie(this)}}
Where hitspace is the part where the note has to come in contact with when u hit the note. and spacehitbad is the back where if the note hits that it means you have missed the note.

I'm going to by chance include a message I sent out to a colleague in the off-chance someone also has a solution to it, but it also pertains to my issue. Skip to the bolded part below for just the question I have.I've been tasked with converting a Powerpoint presentation into a Flash presentation. I was considering manually doing it, but it seems like it would take an awful long time (240 slides, with videos and animations) - plus I don't know how to export the animations on individual slides over to Flash other than recreating them entirely.
I found a handful of programs on the Web that advertise that they will convert PPT to Flash (swf) and I tried a few to see which if any I should purchase. All of them had issues. Some either didn't run entirely or the end result was graphically ugly, videos weren't carried over (a problem I could easily rectify if the thing was an FLA where I could add videos back in that way), or animations were either mangled or ignored completely.how best tackle this challenge?Okay, so I basically started to just recreate the entire thing in Flash, using PrtScrn for backgrounds after deleting objects (then pasting in Photoshop and exporting as a PNG-24), as well as copying graphics into Photoshop as well to export as PNGs. No idea what to do about animations yet. Videos I can add back manually.
But anyways, as I do this, the movie is automatically advancing through every frame when I preview. I'm not sure how to go about setting up my Flash so that it only goes to the next frame when someone either presses the mouse button or the spacebar (either would be fine, I think).So that's my main focus at the moment. The other stuff is definitely part of the whole deal, but my main question is:ow do I set up Flash so that it only advances to the next frame when a mouse button or spacebar is pushed?

I'm trying to make a 3rd person chase game. An issue I'm coming across that I would like to get some advice on is the AS I'm using for the walls.First off, here's the code for the character:
PHP Code:
onClipEvent(enterFrame){
if(Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)){
_root.blue_xaccel=_root.blue_xaccel-1;
[code]....
The whole idea behind this is to create a sort of acceleration. Now, when the player hits a wall, it's supposed to stop him.
Wall code:
PHP Code:
onClipEvent(enterFrame)
{
if(this.hitTest(_root.blueguy))
[code]....
Now, the code does what it's supposed to. This is a left wall. It stops the guy, and even pushes him back to the right. However, if the guy has some acceleration going toward to wall, he can go through it a bit.Example: The character is traveling at 8 pixels, but only three pixels away from the wall. In the next frame, he will move 8 pixels, and be 5 frames into the wall.

I have a small problem I want to mute the music when a person clicks on the video page so they dont have to manually click the speaker to shut the sound off to hear the video. As well when they leave the page I want the music to continue playing. The music does not have to start over again, I just want it to mute while on the video page.
I tried using this: SoundMixer.soundTransform = new SoundTransform(0);
But it even mutes the video sound.
And I tried this: SoundMixer.stopAll();
It does kill off the background music, but I dont know how to turn on the music again when you leave the video page.
I prefer to use: SoundMixer.soundTransform = new SoundTransform(0); as it is easier to work with and you can adjust the volume as you like.
