View 3 RepliesHow do you create a countdown timer on an animated game, so that when the time gets to 0 and depending on your score it ttakes you to a losing page or a winning page.[code]...
The other two frames are called gameWin and gameLose, so depending on the score within the 60 second countdown, how would i make it go to there frames and how would i make the time show up on the page.

I will be updating something at 10pm each week and I would like my countdown to stop or countdown to 10pm on that day but I don't know how to make it do that. Is this possible? I haven't been able to find it anywhere. Below is the actionscript I am using. [code]...
View 7 RepliesI am making a platform game in flash. I have a goal class(the class which contains code for the goal sprite, where when you hit it, it continues to next part of game).
[Code]...
The beginClass function is fine, and only runs once, but eFrame is what checks if the player has hit the goal, so it is constantly running. The problem is, once the player hits the goal, eFrame continues to run, while in a menu describing the next scene to the player. My eFrame function is below.

i've got a simple demo for a spot the difference game,you click, find the differences, if you find all 5, the find count goes down to 0 and you get a win screen.. that's fine if you don't find them all within 30 seconds, it goes to a loose screen, that's also fine the problem comes when you click to replay and then seemingly for no good reason, the timer skips more than 1 number a second.. this is the code i'm using on the timer
Code:
count = 30;
countdown = function(){
count--;

View 15 Repliesso how would I go about making a DVD game like player 1 vs. player 2 or just player 1 solo in action script 3.0? i know 2.0 well enough and i know a little 3.0 but i am not an expert i am not looking for a complicated game just something simplistic with one question after another I just don't know how to make the options like a right answer a wrong answer and how that would effect scores. or how would i go about if player one got the question right it would go to the next question and if they got it wrong replay the question for player 2 and the points would reflect appropriately also how would i make a time limit for each question? I know you probably wont be able to answer all question I just wanted to convey what I am trying to do.
View 1 RepliesI'm new with flash and I'm having some trouble with my script. The idea is to start the game by pressing the start button, and the countdown starts. The start button will then disappear. In 60 seconds, the idea is to try to drag all the garbage objects into the respective recycling bins. Only 1 try per object.The object will return to it's original position if it's been placed wrongly, mouseevent for that object is then disabled.
After 60 seconds, the game will end and all mouseevents are disabled. The start button reappears and I can restart the game again.

View 4 RepliesI'm using Flash CS5 to make an iPod app/game. The provided layout makes the default setup 320x480, which is the standard way to hold your iPod VERTICALLY. I want to flip these dimensions to hold the iPod on it's side during gameplay.
So here's my question: If I just flip the document...to (480x320) will the iPod know how to manage the game from that point on? Or do I need to draw everything horizontally and animate that way too? I tried to do just that, but when I test the scene, it only wants to flip that first frame, so everything flops off screen and it ruins the animation. So how do I develop a HORIZONTAL iPod app/game?

View 1 Replieswonered if someone could help me wih this one. Currently making a facebook game all in flash, it uses multiple swfs to make up the game and its elements for optimisation.
My question really is down to flash cache issue so we can make updates to various swfs that are going to be, site wide for users so the game doesnt break. Currently some users get older versions which breaks things if other swfs have chnaged how they communicate as an example.
I am aware of adding a query string onto the end to force to get the latest version.....however doesnt this make the use of a cache redudant as its being simply overriden? Would jsut like it to work as it should:) If theres a new version of a swf use it..if not use current one.

However I want to display the video online with the same Play control as many YouTube videos - a Play button shown in the center of the video screen area. Right now I have the video player controls that I selected during import and they are at the bottom. These skin controls work but I'd like to let the user just click on the screen to start the playback.
