ActionScript 2.0 :: Make Bullets Shoot When Space Button Is Releases?
Feb 15, 2003
I have just read the tut on the shooting aspect of games and i tried it for myself. I altered it so that you shoot on the x axis and you shoot when the space button is pressed.My question is, how do you make the bullets shoot when the space button is releases? And or can make the bullet shoot at an interval of one second or so when the space is pressed... The bullets for me are shooting at a continuous streem and that may be a too great advantage for a user..

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'm building up a site in flash CS4 using AS2.i have a movieclip that acts as a button where it displays severall other movie clips inside of it, for example mc1, mc2, mc3; I'm trying to set a value to a variable that tells me at the time the end user presses it which movieclip is playing.I've done this by adding: var cb = "sp"; on the first frame of each movieclips (mc1 stands for "sp"; mc2 stands for "te")
On the main movie clip, they are displayed sequentially, so on my perspective, when mc1 starts, the value of the variable cb should be set to sp. That way, when the user releases the mouse button, the timeline should move to the specified frame.Here's the code I have for the Mouse event:
bannermiddle.onRelease = function() {
if (cb == sp) {
bannermiddle.gotoAndStop(3);[code]........
I've had the trace to the code so I could see if the value is correctly set, but it keeps showing undefined...

THIS THREAD IS SOLVED.. Answer lies upon a website tutorial. Final Page on this Thread.So far so good, i've gotten most my as2 to as3.. And coming out good Buttons are working, The only last part im working on is upon shooting, it'll bring in the calls to Fire the missle.. (tracein the button works great).
[Code]...
This is what im trying.. But it says undefined use for addchild.. so im taking im missing somthing..
(the missile is a animation graphic i created).I have made a Missile.as to control what the missle does when its addchild is placed on stage. Problem is, (addchild isnt doing it) and im not sure if its going to shoot out the nose of the hero..

Is there a way to make a bulleted list in flash with custom bullets? If so, can this be used from within a TextArea in Flex (mx.controls.TextArea) when setting htmlText?
For example:
<li>Item</li>
<li>Item</li>
The list above will render fine when set into a TextArea using htmlText (versus just setting the text property). The rendered text will have standard vanilla bullets. Is there a way to style these bullets with custom images, like you can in standard HTML/CSS?

btn_radio.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, ToggleRadio);
// if you want a hand cursor btn_radio.buttonMode = true;btn_radio.useHandCursor = true

I made a movie clip with infinite loop in which there are images that move from right to left something simple like a marquee, and each image has a blank space between them, but between last and first image there is a more space, how I can do to make all images have an equal space between each one and that the motion never stops.

I've been following a tutorial on [URL] but changing and removing various things to fit to the game I am (very, very slowly) trying to make. I am attempting to make an up-side-down Space Invaders like game, but with balloons instead of aliens.
So far (by following the tutorials and being lucky) I have managed to make the player's ship which moves by pressing the arrow keys and can shoot two (blue) lasers when the spacebar is pressed. The enemy balloons randomly appear below the bottom of the screen and shoot a laser upwards towards the player's ship when the player goes above (Y axis I think) any balloons.
The problem is that the balloons fire a massive stream of shots (red lasers), but I want to delay each next shot by a few seconds, but the time of the delay doesn't matter because I'll tweak it later.
I've been trying to make delays for the balloon lasers by copy/pasting bits of code from Ship.as in an attempt to make it work ...Maybe it's a good time to say I am a complete noob at AS3 apart from when it comes to messing up and having no idea what is going on
I've attached my current (broken) work and a working SWF of before trying to add delays to the balloons shots. If you want to see it working first hand then replace the Balloon.as in actionscript.game with the Balloon(working).as and change the filename to Balloon.as.

The behavior I'm trying to prevent is after a user clicks on a button, the button retains focus, and then if the user hits the space key, the button fires again. So I thought it could be solved either by setting the focus elsewhere, or by having the button ignore the space key. I've tried adding the following keyDown event listener on the button, but it didn't work.
private function btn_keyDown(event:KeyboardEvent):void {
// try to ignore spaces, i.e. don't click on SPACE when it has focus
if (event.keyCode == Keyboard.SPACE) {
}
}
I tried changing focus by doing the following, at the end of the function that's called when the button is clicked:
stage.focus = parent;

I'm trying to get a button to toggle playing or stopping an mp3 if I click it or hit the space bar. The code I have does that but it does something funny I don't understand. This is the code:
var s:Sound = new Sound(new URLRequest("song.mp3"));
var sc:SoundChannel;
var playtggl:int = 1;
[code]....
As you can see I've added two event listeners on the button, one for the mouse and for the spacebar. Thing is everytime I hit the spacebar, my function for the mouse click fires up. I don't understand how this is happening.Also, how do you have the event listener listen for a spacebar event without having to first focus on the button by clicking it with the mouse?

My goal is to shoot a bullet everytime I click on ship. What happens, in fact, is that If I click on it once, the bullet is shot, but if I click on it twice before the first bullet is off the screen, the first bullet literally stops(it does not disappear, only stops) and the second bullet is shot.
public var ship:Ship = new Ship();
public var bullet:Bullet = new Bullet();
stage.addChild(ship);[code]...

I'm doing a simple game where you move the character using the arrow keys and shoot using the Mouse. The character rotates based on the Mouse angle. I have two problems: when I move the character, he moves once, then stops then moves again as normal. My other problem is that when I click over a MovieClip, the bullet goes to the wrong angle.My moving function:
Code:
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, keyHandler);
function keyHandler(event:KeyboardEvent):void {
