[URL], but this is a completely different question. I now have a fully functionnal jet plane which fires tiny red bullets. Now, I want to be able to alternate between bullet/ammo types on the fly, (with a shortcut like shift or something, but not neceserilly that) from the red bullet to something like a yellow laser. I'll attach the file I have up to now.
View 4 RepliesIt seems any type of linebreak within an <LI> tag create an extra bullet?The following examples all produce 2 bullets when they should only show one...
Code:
_txt.htmlText = "<li>Hello<br />There...</li>";
_txt.htmlText = "<li>Hello /n There...</li>";
_txt.htmlText = "<li>Hello /r There...</li>";
_txt.htmlText = "<li><p>Hello</p> <p>There...</p></li>";
Flash Player 9, AS 2.0
So the problem is basicly this: It all works just fine, but when the bullet hits the target it gets destroyed (this is ok) but also any bullet that was shoot before it (meaning also: with a lower y) gets destroyed aswell wich is anoying. Here's the code (left the comments so you can find your way around easier)
Code:
stop();//add a stop function too!
enemyspeed =1
life=3
var gameOver:Boolean = false;

I found a tutorial on the internet and have begun toying with it. I figured out what all the segments did and how they worked and effected the game (mostly through trial and error...) once i figured out what EXACTLY i had i started making changes.
-What i want - once the bullet hits a monster OR goes out side of the range of the gun it disappears and another shot can be fired (which is done automatically via my script no user input needed)
-What i have - when the bullet goes off the page (x>550, x<0, Y>400, Y<0) it disappears and another shot can be fired... obviously this is problematic to game play...

I'm currently making my own shoot'em up game where the player can switch between two player types which will fire their own bullet type in this case, squares and circles. I've setup the player switch function via pressing "space" button (switching between the two player types) and the default bullet type is "squares" and I'm not sure to approach the coding with changing the bullet type to "circles".I've written 2 classes for the bullet and player setup:Player Class: Creates instance of bullet on screen and enables the switch player type function
Bullet Class: Enables bullet properies and bullet types Player Class: Code:function onKeyDown(event:KeyboardEvent):void {if (event.keyCode == 32) //// pressing/holding "space bar" to function

I'm trying to make my platform game character shoot a gun, my character and gun are one movieclip and the bullet is another. The bullet mc starts on a blank frame with a stop() function, when I press the space bar the bullet mc plays from frame 2 which is a motion tween of the bullet quickly moving across the page. I've set the bullet's y and x values relative to the character mc so that the bullet always comes from the gun.
My issue is that if I press the space bar a bullet will fly out of the gun (great!) but if I press the space bar again, the first bullet disappears and the bullet animation starts again. I want to be able to shoot a new bullet every time I press the space bar without effecting the bullets that have already been shot.

I've noticed since the last few version of flash player that when your main view isn't focused on the flash game, it tends to mess the game up.How do I make it so the game automatically pauses when I switch to a new window or lose focus.
View 6 Repliesim 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.
i have 2 classes, one for ship one for bullet.i was trying to set the bullet.x to ship.x in the bullet class but it keeps telling me undefined. but clearly it is in my ship class.

This is so they can see how long it has taken them.

View 2 RepliesI'm thinking of building a game along the lines of Farmville - items, events, time management system etc. Options I am thinking of:
1) Flash UI frontend that uses AMFPHP to get all data for the view from a PHP powered backend.
2) Actionscript to power the whole game
My concern with Actionscript is scaling, my concern with PHP is having to build an update system that would need a lot of back and forth xmlhttprequests which might get complicated.
I am hammering out a Tower Defense type game. I'm starting to design my custom unit mechanics. I've used numerous other tutorials for the framework here (largely one mans blog - credited in my AS3 file..) I want when a unit dies, that it runs a function - checks a field I've created within the unit called a 'tag' - and depending on that do other things. From within the kill() function I successfully call my infantryDeath() function, and I've verified within kill() it's recognizing the dead objects tag. I've verified the entry into infantryDeath() and that the tag is still the same.
Here's the problem:
function infantryDeath(creep){
//inGameMessage("infantryDeath() successfully called"); <-- works
//inGameMessage("Unit died with ID: " + creep.tag); <-- properly shows the ID of the "creep" it received
inGameMessage(this); <-- prints out _level0 (the id for the level itself)
if (creep.tag = c1) <-- the unit with this tag dies, and triggers this block successfully{

I have no clue why the object I'm supposedly working with changes just by virtue of being within the "if" block. If I pass an object into a function shouldn't manipulating that object remain constant within that function?

View 1 RepliesI was just fooling around in my spare time and have made this cool interface and game-playing code for a Connect-4 type game, written in Flex and playable by 2 human players in Flash. It accurately detects wins, etc. I'm smart enough to know that I've done the easy part.Before I dig into an AI for game play, I wanted to ask if this is the kind of thing that can really be handled computationally by a Flash plugin. It seems to me that for every turn up until the end there are 8 possible moves, 8 responses to each move, etc. So wouldn't a perfect engine have to be able to potentially see 8^8 moves (over 16 million), and a fairly good engine see up to a million? I don't know game coding so this is new to me. What's a reasonable move horizon for such a game to be able to see?

When the game starts, bubbles fall down from the top of the game to the bottom and score is kept for the most bubbles clicked or popped in 30 seconds.The size of the bubble is defined by the initialize method in the code, and uses ToString() to calculate the score. ToString gives me a 1061: Call to a possibly undefined method Random through a reference with static type uint. This error which I cannot figure out where it comes from.[code]
View 4 RepliesI am trying to make a bowling alley type of game. I want the ball to change angle when it reaches the gutter, but the problem I am facing is, how can I check when the ball has reached the gutter as the bounding box for a line/box in perspective is bigger and I want to check any point on the line when the ball is passing/crossing that point and moving so that I can change its angle and direction. And also does anybody have a collision method algorithm or physics to create the falling of PINS when the ball hits the PINS.

I've been working with Flash for over 3 years, but I can't figure this one out. I've got a body of text, half of which are bulleted points designated by <li></li>. It's loaded into a html-ised dynamic textbox.
[Code]....
It displays fine as is. However, if I make the box selectable, and select any part of the bulleted list, the ENTIRE body of text turns into a giant bulleted list, including the non-bulleted portion at the beginning. I've managed to replicate this bug with Flash 8 and CS3, using a variety of flas made from scratch.
I'm creating a small car game where you shoot from the car, so I've made a bullet animation with this code inside the mocieclip:
Actionscript Code:
shellNo = 0;function shellEject(){shell_holder.attachMovie("shellAnim", shellNo, shellNo);shellNo++;}
But the problem is that the car is moving when you controll it so the bullet stays on the same position and I want it to follow the car and start from the same position as the car whereever it goes.
