MX04 Creating Simple Flash Game
Sep 8, 2009
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'm using a simpel preloader script that holds the movie on frame 1, and plays frame 2 when everything is loaded.I used this script before without any problems, but for some reason the textfield with the "loading"-text only shows up at exactly 50% There are no other objects/movieclips/textfieds except this one "loading"-text on frame 1. When I trace the 'update()'-function, it traces once at the beginning of the script, holds, and than traces as it should after 50%...Here's my code at frame 1:
Code:
stop();
preloaden();

I am trying to create a script, where the user inputs a maths equation (something simple like 5 + 2 * 10), I have managed to break down the text into an array and have the numbers in one array and the symbols in another, I wanted the computer to then work it out, however I cant seem to think of how to do this and the methods that I have tried have failed.there is one dynamic box and the value of that is then broken down by an array split(" "), however this leaves the values in an array and it is percieved as a string not a number and so when i try to work it outit just displays 5 * 10, how would i get it to work that out?

I'm trying to make a 3rd person chase game. An issue I'm coming across that I would like to get some advice on is the AS I'm using for the walls.First off, here's the code for the character:
PHP Code:
onClipEvent(enterFrame){
if(Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)){
_root.blue_xaccel=_root.blue_xaccel-1;
[code]....
The whole idea behind this is to create a sort of acceleration. Now, when the player hits a wall, it's supposed to stop him.
Wall code:
PHP Code:
onClipEvent(enterFrame)
{
if(this.hitTest(_root.blueguy))
[code]....
Now, the code does what it's supposed to. This is a left wall. It stops the guy, and even pushes him back to the right. However, if the guy has some acceleration going toward to wall, he can go through it a bit.Example: The character is traveling at 8 pixels, but only three pixels away from the wall. In the next frame, he will move 8 pixels, and be 5 frames into the wall.

My company has developed a very simple "Whack-a-Mole" type of game for a social media campaign. See here: [URL]. Our client is now requesting that we add a scoring system so that we can offer a prize to the 3 top scores. What I need is to be able to link the number of "whacks" to a score and enable the user to input their email address at the end of the game connected to the score they achieve.

I am a newbie in flash actionscript. My assignment needed me to create a simple flash mathematics game for mobile. Some Mathematics question will appear in order and 4 options will be provided for each question. On the top, there will be an object. The object will move 1 step forward if the answer for the question is correct. But if the answer is wrong, there will be a popup message "try again". when the object move to the ending point. You win the game. And the timer will stop timing and record the time in the memory. And the time will be display in a high score tab.

This used to be so easy to do back in the day, but not any more. I'm trying to create a reeaaally simple button in Flash CS3 that on release goes to and plays the next frame.[code]All the button does is starts an mp3 that's embedded in the file. I've made tons of these in the past, but now with CS3 I'm finding this task very difficult. The code is in the button instance, but I'm getting the following error when I publish.

I'm just moving from programming in Flash to Flex.
I want to create a simple gallery which is loaded with locally stored FLV short clips. I know how to create a text/image gallery, but I wasn't able to put the VideoDisplay component in the List control.
The final result should be a gallery with videos playing while the cursor is on top of them.

I'm working on this flash game right now and I need to implement a simple players database...
It needs to be both read and writable . Meaning, when the player register to save his character information , he needs to key in his email and a password and create an account. The account shall store that player's life amount, ammunition etc . All the infos are stored on an external file and retrieved again when the player logins to the game with the email as his login ID. Security issues are not the biggest concern here because its not exactly meant to be an online game and I don't think hacking would be something I need to worry about ^^'''
I've tried Xml with AS, but I realised that, that alone canot allow me to write the player's info into the xml file.
I'm not exactly an mySQL idiot...but I really have very(x2) rusty and limited knowledge of it. All the server topics confuses me and I've had no experience with Microsoft Access.

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'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.

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.
public function PlayerSelect()
{
nc = new NetConnection();[code]....

As you may have seen from my previous posts, I am creating a side-scrolling action game in Flash/Actionscript 3.0. Right now I am trying to get enemy objects to face the player's direction. Here is what I mean (dartD1 is an instance of the enemy character object. If its scaleX is 1, it's facing right; if its scaleX is -1, it's facing left):

I'm looking to build a very simple (hopefully!) interactive game.
- A number of balls are situated at the bottom of the stage.
- There are several dropzones which the balls can be placed in.
-Once a dropzone is occupied with a ball, its not possible to populate that the dropzone with another ball until the present one has been removed. -Depending on which balls are present in the dropzones, the balls animate differently. the red ball is placed in a dropzone. There are currently no other dropzones populated with a ball.

I just want to create a simple timer for a car game which notes the lap time each time you cross the finish line. I then want to be able to use the "gotoAndPlay (frame number)" once either a certain amount of laps have been completed or when the timer hits a specified number.I have exhausted tutorials, none of which actually work - what im looking for is 'i think' actually quite simple but i am having great difficulty.... The car game tutorial with 4 parts which seems to pop up everywhere does not help as it is very complex and can only be used when the game is designed in the way that the guys has made it.
