Redo the cursor to something else, change the word "upgrade" to "upgrades", make the hover over box more attractive, and tell me how much it costs to upgrade!

I did on that last animation I made Im thinking about doing the loop thing but I dont know where the loop button is
Just put the animation inside a movieclip.
I did
by the way there is no "loop" button. That weird sliding back leg thing isnt going to work either, your going to have to follow that diagram i and some other guy sent to you. If you want good animation you can't just take the easy route.

No, that is how people walk just on the spot. If you stick my examples in a movieclip and tween them correctly across the stage it will look right.

His back foot slides so it keeps in the same spot when the movieclip moves forward, this looks fine because the movieclip is moving forward at the same rate the leg is moving back.

It's not an easy route, but a simplified way of creating a decent walk cycle.

Response to: Walking cycle test 2 Posted August 26th, 2009 in Game Development

There is no leg movement, it's hard to distinguish which leg is doing what.

I have a couple of walk cycles I can show you if you need help.

I did this about a year ago
A more recent one

They both use a looping technique, where, because you cant tell which leg is which (no defining characteristics), I only actually make one leg walk, the other slides back and it loops. This creates the effect that the second time it loops, the other leg is moving when actually it isnt.

Good luck!

It means your posted script has a few opened but not closed brackets.

And I prefer to use && if I'm honest, not sure why, just how I've learnt to code :P

Just finished playing Another Small Favour, as Point n Click is one of my favourite genres.

It was a pretty simple game, all in all though.

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (this.hitTest(_root.win) {
if this.atk == 0) {
play();

}

also, next doesnt work, just use play(); and a stop statement on the next frame

Or nextFrame();

And you can use &&, it depends how you prefer to code and if it helps you organise go for it. And fuck me you bad at opening/closing brackets.

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (this.hitTest(_root.win) && this.atk==0) {
_root.nextFrame();
  }
}

Adobe bought Macromedia. Flash is still the same program whether you have a Macromedia version (Flash 8 and below) or a Adobe version. Later versions just include new things.

Just create a background and make it move past your character.

I'm pretty sure they can, whenever I've embedded a .swf using HTML and I've accidentally written the szes wrong it resizes it to what I've specified. If you've used bitmaps in it though they will get distorted with the resize, while the vectors wont.

Thanks anyway.

How about inside the movieclip and on it's frame? I'm pretty sure you could do something like that.

Response to: Size problem. Posted August 26th, 2009 in Game Development

They can resize it when they embed it on their webpage.

Happy Birthday, hope you got that Pokemon card you wanted.

Lots of love, Sam xx

Response to: Handeling Multiple Enemies Posted August 26th, 2009 in Game Development

If your using duplicate/attach movieclip the simplest way would be to write the collision code on the zombie movieclip.

And to remove:

removeMovieClip(this);

because I think your a noob, here's a code explanation:

if KEY.isDown(87){
//do stuff
}

Can you write the condition without brackets?

I clicked your MMORPG link thinking, what a douche. :P

Best option is to recode in AS3, get into good practice.

The progression was great but the final product really wasn't that impressive.

Depends how you prefer to code.

It just looks like he's copied his AS2 code into an AS3 document haha :P

Yeah, fancy.
