I am quite new to AS3 and need to pass on functions now.What I have is:
Game.as
BaseScreen.as
- Case.as
- Menu.as[code].........
Obviously it cannot run openScreen as it is in Game.as, however if I put this piece of code in a new Functions.as and run it it won't run addChild (so it adds nothing to the stage). My question now is: how do I pass on this code properly so I can run it in Menu.as as well?
I am going to develop a very simple game for android and for iphone/ipad I have the option to develop it in cocos2d or in adobe flash air (i am not a developer, but i have 2 developers who are offering me the service)I have a developer that states that cocos2d is better and other one that states that adobe flash air.I want it in cross platform.the cost offered by both developers is the same..i have heard that adobe air has the flaw that it is very slow, is this real? if you had the 2 options which will you use to develop your game and why?

View 1 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 {

View 3 RepliesI am making a Shooting game in flash actionscript 3 and have some questions about the flow of logic and how to smartly use the OOPs concepts.There are mainly 3 classes:Main Class: Initializes the objects on the screen.Enemy Class: For moving the enemies around on the screen.Bullet Class: For shooting.What I want to do is find out if the Enemy has been hit by a bullet and do things which must be done as a result ...What I am doing right now is that I have a ENTER_FRAME event in which i check collision detection of each enemy unit (saved in an array) with the bullet instance created, and if it collides then perform all the necessary actions in the Main class .. clogging the Main class in the process

View 11 RepliesMainly looking for pointers to the tutorials I am sure exist (but which I can't find). But I am also very open to any general or specific advice you may have to spell out for me in the thread. I am looking to build a PBBG (Persistent Browser Based Game) which, while single player, has some few multiplayer elements. Indirect interaction. One example of this is a commodities market - yes, the good old space trading, fly to one planet and buy, fly to another and sell scenario. I want every player to impact the inventory of each planet, and to have that inventory affect the buy/sell margins, etc. Other Indirect interaction would be bars et al, where players can chat, maybe (a BIG maybe) trade inventory and such. It seems direct, but it is not fighting one another or fighting at each other's side, etc.; so to me it is 'indirect' to the game. But that isn't why I'm here (feel free to impart any wisdom you have anyway, if you so desire); just an aside to explain a bit about the game.

Hello! I'm currently making my own flash game. Everything is going ok for now, but i've come across a problem. I want to add health regeneration things I have spikes which when touched takes 5 from your life, and i'm using the same code, but with the difference that it suppose to add 5 to your life, but it don't. So this is the code that i'm wrote:
Code:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (this.hitTest(_root.char)) {
if (_root.health.text < 100) {
_root.health.text += 5 ;
unloadMovie(this);
}
if (_root.health.text > 100) {
_root.health.text = 100;
unloadMovie(this);
}
else if (_root.health.text == 100) {
unloadMovie(this);
}
}
}
So if for instance your health is 85 instead of adding 5 and making it 90 it adds 5 in the back and it becomes 855. What am i doing wrong?!
