what would be the best way of creating rounds for a battle system? Say like with each attack a round goes by. rounds are not calculated at randomor player 1 hits player two = 1 round gone, now it's round two and so on until the player(s) hit points are all gone I'm using while loops for the record

The sprite which contains all element in my game world uses the real-world meter as distance unit, it doesn't know what pixels are. I then apply a scale to this sprite to make it appear correct on screen. Currently I use 1 meter = 100 pixels, so scale = 100.
If I try to draw a line inside this sprite it appears lineStyle(thinkness) rounds the thickness parameter. If I specify 0.5 (50 cm) it always gets drawn with 1 pixel (1 cm). If I specify 0.6, the line becomes 100 pixels, or 1 meter, thick. So basically I can only draw lines of 1, 100, 200 etc pixels thinkness.
Anything I can do about this? Otherwise I'll have to use a smaller unit like millimeters for my world.
well i was wonder how this could be done in flash or if its even possible with sound from the library..have the intro part of the song play first then loop the actual music for the duration of the scene.
View 2 RepliesBasically I am making a Turn Based battle system. Each Frame is an attack. So for the enemy I did this:
(in scene Frame) attack = Math.round (Math.random ()*2)+0;
so it would randomly attack
then I also put in this in an object INSIDE my enemy clip
onClipEvent(enterFrame){
onClipEvent(enterFrame){
if (_root.attack == 1 || _root.attack == 2){

you see what ive tried to do here havent you?
why isnt it working? it plays, the random value thing works(used dynamic text box to check this) so what am i missing? (using AS2)

View 2 RepliesI am working with flash 6 with a map that is already made.
1. find a layer with a name "LINKS".
2. Press F9.
3. The window "Actions" will open.In it a window you will see the following code.
4. In it a code you can change links for any state.
//Washington
_root.map.state1.onPress=function(){
this.gotoAndStop(10);
getURL("http://www.yourdomen.com/yourpage.html");
Easy enough except for the fact that there is no layer named links. All the layers are numbered. I can't get a response from the company.

I am trying to generate a list of links via xml using as3. I have created a movie linkHolder and a text field called linkText.
I then add link text to linkHolder and add linkHolder to the stage. I have an eventListener attached to linkHOlder which calls a function and when I roll over the links it activates the function correctly.
How do I give a unique id or reference to each button so that I can pull up the correct link associated with it?
Here's some of my code:
Code:
function createVideoLinks():void{
for (var i:int=0; i<externalXML.videoClip.length();i++){
//build the arrays of link text and link destination
vidText[i]=externalXML.videoClip.vTitle[i];

View 1 RepliesI am on the last leg of finishing up a full flash site and all of a sudden out of nowhere I started getting this error when I try and test the movie.
"Error creating Flash movie file. Be sure the destination file is not locked or on a locked drive. Also, check that the file name is not too long."
Nothing actually changed in the flash file besides scripting when it started occurring. I went back and erased what I had done. Tried moving the frames to a new project, tried saving it as another file, saving it to the desktop instead of my external. Nothing works!! The strangest part is that it will work fine when I delete a couple text fields and then if I try and add something to the stage it will get the error again. Almost like I've hit some sort of limit.

I am trying to create a flash program that will create a slideshow on the fly. I have a collection of music and images that I want to put in the show. The program will pick a piece to play randomly and the next image to show is also picked randomly. However, the speed at which the images will be shown in the show is decided by the tempo/speed/mood of the music at that moment. In one piece of music there will faster and slower movement, and the slide will fade in sooner if the music is faster and vice versa. The show will keep running until the program quits.
View 2 RepliesI'm trying to create a pull down menu. Not one that drops down when rolled over but one that drops down when clicked and stays down until an item is selected. Once an item is selected or the menu is clicked out of it retracks again.
My strategy is to create a movie clip for the initial menu that when clicked jumps to another movie clip where ther menu is extracted and houses movie clip buttons that hightlight when rolled over and when clicked redirect to another movie clip related to the button that was selected.
is this the proper way to do this? And second: can you offer some direction for the action script?

I am having trouble using the name of given button to determine my loader URL. If my button is called yerBasicButton_bt ... I would like it to utilize a reuseable function to dynamically determine and load a URL named yerBasicButton.swf. In this manner yerBasicButton2_bt would then load a movie named yerBasicButton2.swf, and so on. So the function looks at the instance name of the calling button to determine it's URL.
stop();
unit133bd3ba_bt.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, getUnitSWF);
function getUnitSWF (e:MouseEvent):void { var swfLoader:Loader = new Loader(); swfLoader.x = 25; swfLoader.y = 368; var swfURL:String = e.currentTarget-"_bt"+".swf" var swfURLReq:URLRequest = new URLRequest(swfURL); swfLoader.load(swfURLReq); this.addChildAt(swfLoader, 0);}
