You win, happy >:P

what would be the harder way to do it, can you give me an example?

I dont really get how making the hittest check for the shape of the object help me since the object im using is already a rectangle

oppses D:

anyways i mean like making the blue box smaller so that hittest will only check a smaller area

for hittest. how do I do it?

Thank you

Obviously its undefined if you didn't define the xx and yy variables.
Here's what you should be doing:

i did define them before

var yy = sco_scope._x //+( ((far-100)/100)(23.4));
var xx = sco_scope._y;

also I tested it with constant numbers too

xDDDDD

if (tar_test.hitTest(xx , yy))
{
var obj = "bullethole" + tar_test.bholenum;
tar_test.attachMovie( "mc_bullethole",obj, tar_test.bholenum + 1);
obj._x = xx;
obj._y = yy;

tar_test.bholenum += 1;
}

thats what i have right now, however The x and y of the bullet hole won't move. When i trace it, the obj shows, but obj._x is undefined

thanks guysing :D

dit yew no dat i lies to do the danse?

myMC.onEnterFrame or onLoad or whatever!

I highly suggest you look at movieclip duplication for some more information, but this is a start.

hey, can you get on aim, cuz i dont really understand what you are saying

Hey, can someone tell me how to make it so like I can code for Movieclips and each time i attach them on to the stage, it activates that code?

I need it like a onload and a onenterframe of the movieclip

At 7/3/08 10:51 PM, dark101 wrote: well, first, its not onLoad.
it <onClipEvent (load) {>
but I think you can if you're using as3
but for the function thing, you don't need an onclip evet handler you can just put something like
<function buildMap(map) {>

no I dont mean the movieclip in scene one

I mean inside the movieclip's frame's action
im using attachmovie to load them

hey, im still a little bit new to actions script, but how do I do functions in the frames of movieclips.
right now i have

onLoad = function()
{

in the first frame of my Movieclip but i traced it and it did not execute
I am using attachMovie to put it on the stage.

must I use the frames of scene 1? D:

so, anyone have any idea how to do this?

Ahh yes my code didnt include _xmouse at all.

Wait a sec.....

yeah, I mean like the way its done in tactical assasin 2

ok to zrb, no the code in itself is flawed. Im looking for a way to rewrite it, not just change values

to second guy
No, that wont work because im making it tactical assassin two. where the _root._x is relative to the _xmouse.

The code i ahve right now is

_root._x = -_root._x
_root._x += _xmouse
_root._x = -_root._x

but instead of it instantly going to the mouse, I want to to be something like
_root._x += ( _xmouse - _root._x)/2

sort of like it actually moving to the mouse x over a short period of time instead of instantly jumping to the position

I have tried many times and failed

Wow I got it by changing the _root._x to - its self before and after that code.
does this take alot of processing power?

Dam I wish i can edit my posts, sorry for all the posts, but What I mean is like not have the screen move constantly, like say if the mouse is 200 pixels x. then the _root._x will be 200 and if mouse is 300, root will be 300

Oh then its this:

onEnterFrame = function () {
_root._x += _root._xmouse-(Stage.width/2);
};

Thanks, but is there any way to have it be go in the opposite direction? like -_xmouse? The problem is it keeps going back and forth from the - to the positive because the _xmouse moves along with the _root._x

sorry, that didn't work, the _rootx x still went crazy

oh wow, I i guess i didnt think hard enough. Anyways thanks :D

Im trying to make the screen move depending where the mouse x and y is. However i ran intos ome problems that I later realized was because the mouse x changed along with the _root._x. Also, when the x is added the screen would go the other way. Is there any way to check the _xmouse in relation to the screen, not the stage?. Why is _root._x reversed? any particular reason?

ah wait it doesnt work so great, oh well ill just keep trying

thanks, it was a little buggy at first but i did += and it works great

Is there something simple like a x and y value I can change to move the screen?
thanks

thx for all the replys I added u all

hey thx for replying, any help is much appreciated just remember, posting emails put u at risk of viagra ads bombing ur spam box so what i do sometimes is put like
hazelorca + hotmail
or frickenhamster + gmail

which is my real email BTW

So basically I want to share the newground dream of making flash games and posting them with the hope itll make front page. Too bad I dont know actionscript. The only programming I know alot of is GML( Game Maker Langauge). Im learning others but thats the only one I know alot of. I have done some of the tutorials, but its just like Im done and I don't feel I learned much.

Is there anyone out there that can take the time to correct my coding mistakes and explain bits of code to me. Also teach me theory of stuff I want to know

If you interested I can give you my aim msn( yahoo compatible) gtalk or steam.
I dont want to post my emails here because this is how bots get their spamlist.

Thanks everyone

sry forthe doubble post but even of we dont like it, it hurts artists =[
