I'm trying to make a simple animation where there is ten balls floating around the stage, I want to be able to click on any of the balls and "throw" them. I'd also like there to be a boundary around the stage so the balls bounce off this when thrown.

I am making a word game app in flash for the touch screens, except I really don't know how to have the game recognize words. Is there some trick to doing this? To be a little more clear, I want to know how I can make the game recognize real words that the player will be putting together. I'm pretty sure I know how to have the game recognize the player's chosen letters, but that's really about it

I want to make a multiplayer flash game- something very basic, like each person controls a dot which they can move around (doing this as a learning experience, not because it seems like a great concept for a game ). I'm pretty new to PHP and mySQL, and don't have a lot of experience in making flash apps that interact with outside scripts... and here's the approach i've thought up so far.i design the swf so that every 30th of a second or so it checks an xml file on the server (http:servernamedata.xml), and also sends a request to the server to run a php script and sends it four boolean values (which keys the player is pressing). The php script runs- it loads a mysql database which has each players x/y coordinates, adjusts those coordinates according to the bool (if player is pressing keys), resends the x/y coordinates to the mysql database, and generates an updated version of the xml, which the swf running on each players client computer will check to determine where to draw each dot.So to get to the point, what i want to know is:
1: is what i described even possible?
2: if it can be done, is this a good way to go about it or is it horribly innefficient (i eventually want to make games more complicated than moving dots around, and have as much code run server-side as possible to prevent hacking/cheating)
3: if this is a possible and OK way to do this, what sort of AS3 script do you use to make a flash app have a server execute a php script?
I seem to be going round in circles. I am making a little game with a character, I want it so when you pressed left and up it goes left and up at the same time. Does any one know how to do this?

View 2 RepliesI'm currently making a game with over 100 levels. I have a level select screen where you can go to any of the 100 levels.I want it so that only level 1 is unlocked first then when you beat it level 2 unlocks and so forth.What's the best way to go about this? I was thinking an external text file maybe like this:
Level1:Unlocked:UnBeaten
Level2:Locked:UnBeaten
Level3:Locked:UnBeaten
and so on,then when the levels are unlocked and beaten updating the text file. Is this possible? Even making a class which stores level variables including beaten and locked.

View 1 RepliesI'm making a shooting game, would like the gun to flip _xscale when you move the gun past half the width of the stage. Here's the script I made which doesn't work and is probably not written correctly:

}
just wondering if anyone can help me with this I'm making a platform game and wanted to make my game character run when user press the keyboard left or right. But I want my character to run like an actual person instead of just sliding across the screen. I have no idea where to start and I can only find tutorial that teach how to make a character move by just using - or + number of pixels but that's not what I'm actually looking for. I prefer that my game character to be more lively. Does anyone know how??

I am making my first game and it's my first time using actionscript. I am making a sniper game themed with the L96A1 sniper rifle from COD: Black Ops and the map nuketown. I'm in cs5 with ac3 and on my stage I have two movie clips that I'm working with. I'm not really sure if they're supposed to be movie clips though. Anyways, one is the gun, and the other is the zoomed in scope overlay thingy.
For now, I'm trying get the zooming in to work. I haven't done anything else though except collect graphics for enemies, the landscape, the gun, and the scope. I want to make it so that you zoom in and out by holding and letting go of the space bar. Also,I want to make it so that when you are not zoomed in, the gun moves horizontally at the bottom of the screen (aligned vertically with the cursor). And when you are zoomed in, the scope crosshair is the cursor.So my idea was to set the gun as the cursor and make it only move horizontally at the bottom of the stage and then make an event listener that listens to when the spacebar is pressed and when it is, disables the gun as the cursor (and makes it transparent to get it off the screen) and makes the scope the cursor [was transparent, now opaque and unrestricted(vertical movement also)].
I got as far as making the gun move horizontally at the bottom with the cursor. I cant get the event listener working because I don't really know how to go about changing the opacity of each movie clip and how to switch cursors. So I am asking how do I change the opacity and switch the cursors when the spacebar is held and then reverse those changes when the spacebar is released? Here's my code on an "actions" layer [I haven't done any animations yet, so everything is on frame 1. Also, I used a couple preset code snippets since I have no previous experience with actionscript (I can understand most of it though)]:
Code:
import flash.events.KeyboardEvent;
// make gun cursor
stage.addChild(gun);[code]..........
