ActionScript 3.0 :: Creating Crosshairs For A Game?
Mar 12, 2011
i 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 have a large mc masked by a small mc. Inside of the smaller mc, there is a static crosshair in the middle of the smaller mc. I can pan the larger mc fine, but would like to zoom in on the larger mc where ever the crosshairs are located.[code]

I'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.

how to create a Pong game: http:[url].... There's a link to the source code: http:[url]...file=pong4.txt.When I add the source code to a new AS file (using Flash CS 5.5), save it as "Main.as", create a new Fla and link it in the actionscript settings to the Main.as and run it, I get errors:

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?

So 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?

I'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.

I 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.

I 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?

I'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.

I'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.

Creating 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.

I am attempting to create a game that will simulate groceries coming down a conveyor belt. The player acts as a bagger and must click and drag the groceries into designated bags (one for cold food and one for non-cold food). When the correct choice is made the food will disappear and the score will increase +1.
I have become overwhelmed by thinking about how to do this and have not found helpful answers that actually work when I try to compile them so I decided to ask. how I can have random grocery items fall down the screen? I assumed I could create an array of movieclips and have them be called to fall down randomly, but I am not sure how this would work.

I have been working on a game (Pokemon haha) since around the beginning of June. I just started experimenting with Classes today and I've run into some big problems (as expected). I have many SharedObjects in my game and I started the game when I barely understood any code. But I've worked on it a lot and learned so much. Right now, I'm trying to create Classes so that I can save time and be more efficient with my code. But... With my first major attempt, I failed.
This is what I want to do:
Create a Class that will switch a bunch of SharedObjects in my game. I don't need the switching part (because that worked before when the code wasn't in a class), just the creating the class part that involves SharedObjects.
This is basically what I have:
ActionScript Code:
import flash.net.SharedObject;
class GrassLife {
so = SharedObject.getLocal("so_file");
function Life() {
so.data.variable7 = so.data.variable2;
so.data.variable2 = so.data.variable1;
so.data.variable1 = so.data.variable7;
//The variables switch at this part
}}

am creating a simple flash game where you rotate a planet to make the buildings on the planet avoid incoming meteors.I was told that there is another just like it already, but I don't want to see it because it may restrict my imagination.
I have everything pretty much planned out now in a "game script" of everything that i want to happen. only thing is, i'm not sure where to start.Actually,i implemented rotating the planet and the timer so far, but that is all.I was wondering if anyone wouldn't mind reading through my game script and pointing me in the right direction.I am trying to wrap my head around creating classes to handle different aspects of the game, but not sure what to put in a class and what not to.I attached the game so far and the word file

What is a good framework to build a multiplayer game in Actionscript? I want to create a multiplayer 2D shooter like Asteroids on the Blackberry Playbook; my main concern is latency - a shooter wouldn't be fun if the bullets are super-jerky and unexpectedly hit people. I'm guessing that a UDP-based framework would be the best.

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.

I am in the process of creating a vertical scrolling space shooter game for deployment on mobile platforms using AIR.I've used some excellent tutorials online, video tutorials on Lynda and several books, including Game Programming University.Something they all seem to gloss over are the various screens that will be used.
For instance, my game right now will use a splash screen, a main menu screen, a credits screen,a settings screen, a difficulties screen, an instruction screen, an end game screen and save/load screen...and a play game screen, where the actual game will be played.I've created the screens as seperate frames in the main timeline with stop commands in between and code on each page (I know... bad!... but easy).So basically,they can navigate through the menus using buttons (mouseclicks, which will work with touchs as well) and when they are How do I pass data between them? I was thinking of storing it in shared object.
