The code i have for my brick breaker game is this one (followed by a tutorial): The thing is that i can't get the game to restart with 1 less level when the ball hits the bottom. Anyone knows how to do this? I've tried to run the function makeLvl(null); after the part where it says lives--; but it still doens't work. PHP Code:

i am currently working on a facebook game and i have a problem concerning the integration of a life counter which regenerates over time for a facebook game. The game is a simple Flash/AS3 shooter in which users are competing for the highest score. For monetary reasons every game costs one life and users should only be able to start a new game, if said life counter is >=1. To clear things up, i submitted a link to Popcap's facebook game "Zuma Blitz": ZUMA Blitz I can think of a few ways to do this, but i don't know which is the best/easiest approach.

View 1 RepliesI am trying to make a game in Flash using Action Script 3,
I have everything in the game and the game works, but I am trying to add a restart function so the game will go back to the start of the level when you pres the 'R' key.
My game starts off with a title screen on Frame 1, and there are 2 levels, 1 is in frame 2 and the other is in frame 3.
When you click the level you want on the title screen it takes you to the frame which has the required level in it by using a gotoAndStop[code]...
i have spent several days on this and still can't get it to work. The code below is ok, I am playing a bowling game using the keyboard and timer with a text readout of the elapsed time, the bowl moves a set number of pixels on the screen. whilst in full screen mode I would like to click a start/play button on the screen to start the game and timer again, everything is in frame 1. Also I would like the game to just accept the keycode 77 and keyboard event (2 events only to move the bowl) and then wait for the start/play button click.

I am a student working on a project with flash. I am simply trying to make a flash game using Actionscript 3 in Adobe Flash CS5. Everything is working fine, i can walk and jump, but I want the game to restart if the Main character touches an object and dies (like spikes in a pit). I have a main menu in frame 1 and the first level on frame 2. The main character is called "player_mc" and the object that kills him is called "dies".
Code:
//The Code For The Character (Player_mc)
import flash.events.KeyboardEvent;
import flash.events.Event;

Basically what happens is 5 eggs fall from the top of the screen. What I'm trying to have happen is, to have flash recognize when all 5 have been clicked and goto and stop on frame 3. The other problem is I want the animation to reset when the timer runs out. Thus clearing all current eggs off the stage. I've zipped the 2 files I'm working with the (fla and as files).

Just new in forum and just new in as3 programming. All i want to do is to make some physics simulations (i'm physics teacher...). So i made my first sim with the following code, just to simulate a simple motion with constant velocity. It works ok, except the part i need to reset the display by the means to start the motion all over again (reset button). Then the motion starts but the traces of the previous motion remains on stage. I tried the null command (sp=null) but the sim could not start again because the sp nedded to be non-null...

I have an issue with adding a reset button to my drag and drop movie clips.The problem is, if a student drags a movie clip to a wrong location on the SWF file I want them to be able to hit a reset button that would take them the same SWF that they opened and what would showup would a clear page for them to restart their drag and drop exercise.I know how to make the button for this just want the proper action script to be able for user to start over with no movie clip symbols on the page.

View 3 RepliesI have a little math problem with a game I'm making, and I can't for the life of me figure out the formula needed to accomplish something..Say, there's a sniping game, and a BIG image that must scroll from left to right according to the mouse movement.
Something like this:[URL]... In that example, the scene is 550 pixels wide, and the image is 1100, exactly two times the scene, so the formula is kinda easy..

the center of the image would be at x 1500, way over to the right of the scene, outside it, but it would fit inside the screen, like this (the blue square represents the real size of the scene):[URL]..Then when the mouse is at the far right side, that is 550 x, the image center should be at -950 x, like this:[URL]...
I am looking to add some life to this graphic in flash: [URL] My goal is to have the "Hey Jude" element drop into frame and be suspended by the two strings that are attached to it. i.e. similar in fashion like a swingset I have looked all over the web but have yet to find any leads/tutorials on the matter. I would also like this element to be physics based so that the motion is random and when the element is moused over it responds to the action.

View 2 RepliesSo I have a movieclip which has a bunch of children in it. They are each a bodypart of the movieclip(which represents a guy). He has a hand child which he has 2 copies of one for left and right. They both come from the same hand library item. Now here is the challenge. There is a lot of pre-existing animation data in this format so I need to work within these confines.
What I want to do is be able to tell on a given frame which hand is the left and which is the right. It doesnt matter which is called which even, I just need to give each a unique identifier. The problem is it appears if i set a variable in frame one on the hand object, in frame 2 a new hand is made and that variable is lost. So I can't seem to track it by just putting a variable on each hand with a name like hand1, and hand2.
Is there any way to track something like this across many frames? The overall goal is to output the x,y and rotation for each body part for each frame and be able to tell what body part it is (hand1 vs hand2)
I would like a bit of script that I could attach to some buttons so it looks like they are wobbling slighty on roll over.The atached jpeg shows the basic design of them - opaque with shadows.I would like the movement to be random, i can programme it already to move up and down or whatever, but not so its a differnt movement every time.

For some reason I can't seem to match a parentheses in Flex using Regex to save my life. What's wrong with this?
var commandTxt:String = "switchview(adf)";
var switchViewArray:Array = commandTxt.match(new RegExp("switchview(", "i"));
I've tried dozens of things, but I can't seem to get a match the parentheses. What's the catch here?

Nice to be back to this forum again. I need to know if instances of the movieclip, that is "classically tweened" are reused between keyframes, or are they recreated (reinstantiated). Thus may I rely on the fact, that only the properties of one single instance change during the classic tween, or are new instances created on entering keyframes?
My little experiments on that show that the bad variant is happening (instances are recreated), but maybe I misunderstand or misuse something? here is the link to the file which made me doubt (CS4). In the last frame of the animation all previously saved references to the instance are saved abnd compared in pairs. Not all of them are equal and sometimes event some are null.[URL]...

With out getting into a ton of background I am wondering if there is a command that will reset all the variables in a swf at once with out having to do them individually?
I've googled and searched my books and can't find anything. Another option I could see is having the current flash reload, that would set everything back to the start but I couldn't find how to do that either.
Anyone know?

View 1 RepliesDriven on by curiosity, I'm trying to understand the Life Cycle used by Flex Application. I've done a little research on this argument; the two key concepts used into the FlashPlayer are:
SWF Frame: it's the logical unit that contains graphical code and as code Flash Player Frame: it's the time interval used by Flash runtime to update the screen and defined by frameRate property
If so, could you explain me the relationship bewteen these two concepts? In particular, are they paired togheter or not? The main rule is: the Flash Player streams in a swf; until a full SWF Frame is read, the Flash Player cannot render it.
I'll try to explain what I need to understand. For the sake of simplicity, suppose you have a two frame application: SWF FR 1 and SWF FR 2.
In general (for example in CS4) a frame is considered as a logical unit (delimited by ShowFrame tag) where you can attach as3 code. This as a simplified version of a swf file, i think:
Header // frameRate is defined here
Symbols, classes etc... // this is FR1
=== ShowFrame ===
Symbols, classes etc... // this is FR2
If you have two frame, FR1 and FR2, Flash starts executing FR1 and goes to the next one (FR2). If you don't stop the excution, the Player executes and renderes code contained into FR1 and FR2 through an infinite loop. On the contrary, when you stop the execution, for example in FR2, the flash player loops executing code contained in FR2.

I've got a dynamic textfield clip which is placed twice on the stage. It also includes a button. Funny thing is, the first trace works (tracing its _y value: 0 for clip 1 and 200 for duplicate clip 2). When I press the down button of both clips however it traces undefined though it's the same line. How does onPress mess up the targetting of both clips? [code]
