View 1 RepliesI want to create a matching pairs card game within flash. I have found actionscript for a matching pairs game but it does not work the way i want it to. I would like to be able to match a Picture with a word as opposed to 2 pictures the same.
View 4 RepliesI have been building a simple word game. It is smple but works fine. I am now trying to enhance some of the features.I would like to see if I can display one letter of each word so the Player has a hint. Think of this as a beginners level.The words are random from a text list. Either I can make the letters invisible and the game starts without a hint or I am able to select a letter using charAt() or creating a new variable substring()from the word which is the displayed repeatedly on the stage(not what I want) I have not been able to find a way to display one letter and display it in the correct order within the word and keep the remaining letters invisible.

I was given a task to make a match making game in actionscript 2, problem is, i have very little knowledge about the language (well, and how matching works in as2, what are the important codes, code emplacements, and all I am new in AS2, and i really need a lot of help with our project. :)
I plan to match images. But.. I was planning to have a sort of "Compatibility" match-up game, like,..let's say we have two batteries, one has a 50v capacity(how do u measure batteries?) then the other has a 100v capacity, then there's this battery slot that only accepts a 50v battery, then you will have to match this 50v battery to that battery slot, that's my concept for the game, sir. I hope you got what i said, sir. :D
I am attempting to create cash register simulation game and am running into a problem with a conditional statement that I am using to check whether the correct change is being provided to the customer and if a button is being pressed or not. In this game, the user can see the amount of the sale as well as the amount the customer pays. With this information they have to click on the cash drawer slots which will increase a variable called changeCount by the value of the monetary unit they have selected.
I am using an if statement to take them to the next frame if the changeCount = payment-sale and the confirm button has been pressed. To check for the button I am using a boolean to see if it is being pressed or not. For some reason, it is not registering the updated value of the changeCount for the if statement to work. If I trace the value with trace(changeCount); it will return the value I want.
The source code is pasted below:
package {
public class CashierMain extends MovieClip {
private var confirmBtn:ConfirmButton;
private var pennyBtn:PennyButton;
private var dimeBtn:DimeButton;

View 1 RepliesI am making a word game app in flash for the touch screens, except I really don't know how to have the game recognize words. Is there some trick to doing this? To be a little more clear, I want to know how I can make the game recognize real words that the player will be putting together. I'm pretty sure I know how to have the game recognize the player's chosen letters, but that's really about it
View 2 RepliesI'm building a word search game using the following AS3 code. My problem is I need to have spaces in my array of words, so that I can have things like states names, but I need the spaces removed before the words go into the puzzle.
The other concern is also that when a person selects a word from the puzzle will it still match the word in the list even though the word in the list still has a space.[code]...
ive got the following code. bevvy is a movieclip, theres a dynamic text box called feedText nd a box.. imaginately called box. I'm trying to create a drag and drop game when the user drags a word into the box that will have its meaning beside it in a text box, the dynamic text box will tell them if they are right or not. if they are right the word stays, if not the word will go back to its original location. the dynamic text box will give feedback whether they are right or not.
the code below means that the word will stay in the box, but the text message is displayed all the time. i also have a reset button to make the word return to its origal location but id rather not have the button.

I would like to ask about action script for this, when you click on the button, it can "direct" open the microsoft word document from pc. If use this:
on (release) {
getURL("test.doc", "_self");
}
It will pop up diolog first, i dun want this. I want it can direct open the file.
I am doing drag-the-word quiz. When you match the word with correct part, the message pop out, saying Bingo! If the word is matched with wrong part, the "Sorry. Try Again" message pops out, says "Sorry. Try Again". I managed to make the "Sorry. Try Again" message disappear. However it dun work anymore after that. Sometimes it is quite funny. When I play it, the "Sorry. Try Again" message dun pop out at all.
Another problem - I am not sure how to make the word fit into the white box. I only know how to make the word drop on the white box. Can you tell me how to do it? I will be adding voiceovers to the quiz when the word is matched with the part. For e.g it will say "bingo" or "Sorry. Try Again". How to attach the voiceovers to it?
create the word which changing many time and in the end become a clear word like what's happend exactly in horizintal menu in [URL] That's what i wanted the changing in words like that menu?
View 3 RepliesOk so If I load a list of like 2000 words from a text file into a text box like this
ActionScript Code:
var url:String = "dictionaries/"aa.txt";
var loadit:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
loadit.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, completeHandler);
[Code]....
how could I randomly choose a word from the list and have it as a variable
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.
View 8 RepliesI've been wanting to learn to work with Flash for awhi l e and decided to start learning by attempting a game. I found a decent tutorial for a space shooter and used it to create the basic code (firing, etc...) and now I've been figuring out how to add other elements (splash screen/scrolling screen).now I'd like to add power-ups but can't figure out how.I've created a graphic, turned it into a movie clip, but can't think of what to define for its actions.
View 2 Repliesi made a set of crosshairs and i set my enemies to disappear when i click on them andeverything works fine but i noticed that my crosshairs don't line up to where i am clicking, so i go into my crosshairs which are a movie clip and move the crosshairs so the little + sign is lined up in the middle of the crosshairs, now when i play the game nothing happens when i click on the enemies unless i put the crosshairs layer below the enemies layer

I've tried a variety of tutorials and had no success in creating a preloader for my game.I can't seem to get all of my library items to load in frame 1 properly. Any tutorials that I try do not achieve the preloader effect that I desire.What I would really, really like is this:A .swf file that wraps my .swf game and puts in a preloader.That's it.How do I do this, or specifically, what should I be typing into the search window of this forum?
View 2 RepliesSo i need to create a 3D game in flash. What is the best way of doing that? Do I need to use Papervision 3D, or can I just import 3D animations and code it in Flash?
View 4 RepliesI'm sort of new to Flash, have been using it for ages but just to animate, i haven't done any programming or interactive stuff for years, so i feel new to it again!Creating a very simple platform.Movie clip of the character (instance name z_1)- runs button - when pressed makes z_1 invisible and loads another movieclip of him firing a weapon (z_fire). (also makes ground stop moving- basically game is a static running animation, over a moving ground, if that makes sense)This all works fine, i even figured how to make the score increase!After the firing animation is finished (there is a stop on the movieclip) i want the original running animation to be visible again and for the ground etc to play again. The firing animation is only 12 frames long so i imagine i need to tell the button to resume normal service on the stage after that time period![code]It's probably completely wrong but it works, i just need to know the extra code to make the original animations start back again after z_fire has played.
View 2 RepliesI am wondering how to write code so that once a character reaches a certain 'end mark' it will trigger the next frame/level. I am using Flash CS5, but I have primarily used it for animation. This would be my first leveled game.
View 2 RepliesI am creating a blit game and as of right now, the only thing that is blitting is the world itself (i.e. roads, fences). i was planning on displaying my character as a sprite and any interactive objects that it comes by as sprites as well.PickUps, Houses, Enemies. I was wanting to know what are the best practices when it comes to this. does this seem wise. When normallying blitting a game, how much of the game is actual blit, and how much should be display objects.

I'd like to port my Zuma-like game to browsers. It's not really complex 2D arcade game, just some animations and particle systems - really similar in complexity to the one I linked to.I'm wondering what technology should I use. I'm thinking about Java, Flash or maybe some solution working without a plugin (SVG, Canvas?). The cost of the technology is also really important to me (I'd prefer a free solution of course, but don't know if it's possible).It's really probable that I'll also port the game to Anrdoid and iPhone. Maybe if I picked Java, I could write one version that would work on both: browsers and Android phones?
View 3 RepliesSo I'm making a game that uses blocks... I want to create an initial grid of blocks on the screen inside a grid container. as you move the grid container around, more blocks would be added dynamically to the grid... either to the left, right, or bottom.
View 1 RepliesI'm using Macromedia Flash Professional 8 at the moment, and I'm fairly inexperienced with actionscript and most Flash processes. What I'm looking to do is create a game of sorts where characters appear on either side of the screen and a dialogue box appears at the bottom with text scrolling across every time the player clicks "Next" or whatever, and the characters' mouths move and their eyes blink as the text scrolls. We're using voice actors so we'd put an audio clip at the start of each piece of dialogue.
View 1 RepliesI'd like to know if it would be better for programming and for code organization if I'd create a Console class, which would be used for game settings and to start a game, and another Game Class, which would be used for the game itself, like movements, conditionals, scores, etc.
View 1 RepliesCreating a pacman-style game using Flash (AS3). There are 3 players competing to eat the most dots. Right now when one player eats a dot, on that player's screen the dot goes away (but only for a second) and appears again in the screen. The other player playing, doesn't see that the dot went away and reappeared.Using hitTestObject, when a player touches a dot, the dot should no longer be seen on the stage. I'm using shared object to create this multi-player game environment. I'm new in using SharedObject and also AS3.
