ok is but is ur MC instances name "dan" ? if ur not sure wot an instance name is ill explain it.....

an instance name is used to identify the current MC from others of MC's. You change ur objects instance name in the properties panel.

onClipEvent (load) {

_root.gotoAndPlay(2);

}
}

there you go. just change "man" to ur instance name for u MC.

Sumone should go through all the posts and document the code and release a document of it or sumthing. Im sure half the reason people dont search is coz they cant be bothered looking through 50% of crap.

i am starting out in lightwave and its realy simple to use and produces sum staggering results. check out lightwaves' homepage (newtek.com i think).

u wont regret pirat...... "buying" it. ^.^'

HaHa, nicely said.

adding a speed variable isnt realy neccesary at this stage. its not like he'll be adding advanced code anytime soon. And when he dz, by then he would have figured to put a speed variable. ^.^

wow so much uneeded events:

onClipEvent(enterFrame){
if(Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)){
this._x += 5; // walk right
}
if(Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)){
this._x -= 5; // walk left
}
if(Key.isDown(Key.UP)){
this._y -= 5; //walk up
}
if(Key.isDown(Key.DOWN)){
this._y += 5; // walk down
}
}

well making an RPG with each frame containing part of a level would be orite if ur making a small RPG like franks adventure. But if u want to make sumthing bigger look into loading levels from the library with attachMovie. anyway....

ur code is wrong

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (this.hitTest(_root.Robo)) {
gotoAndStop(3);
}
}

also check the ur instance name of ur "Robo" has a capital R and not a lower case r . Remember instances are case sensative.

PunkerFish - u need to use Math.floor, Math.floor returns the floor of the number or expression specified in the parameter x. The floor is the closest integer that is less than or equal to the specified number or expression.

Example:
The following code returns a value of 12:

Math.floor(12.5);

My_own_madness - Look into the "sharedObject" feature.

ouiskipoiski - LoL man just look through the 140+ pages here and u will learn tons.

THE-KRAZYMAN - can u elaborate a little? wot do u mean randomly across the screen?

Newrad - u can have a custom rightclick menu but only in .exe flash movies.

as for the s+click code it would be sumthing like....

onClipEvent(mouseDown){
if(Key.isDown(83)){
//menu code
}
}

i just assumed u wanted to move a character with it, but if u want it to do sumthing else just replace the " this._x" with woteva u want it to do.

no problem u have to use the corresponding ASCII code for the key. A=65 and D=68, so u would just add this to ur MC

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (Key.isDown(68)) {
this._x += 10;
} else if (Key.isDown(65)) {
this._x -= 10;
}
}

hope that helped

try looking at www.flash-db.com they have and email thing for flash. also u wont be able to pull it off just in flash, u will need sum PHP/Perl/CGI as well.

ah woopz didnt read ur post right :P

what do u mean in a straight path??

attach this to the mc that will foloow ur guy::

onClipEvent (load) {
velocity = 2;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (_root.man._x>this._x) {
this._x += velocity;
} else {
if (_root.man._x<this._x) {
this._x -= velocity;
}
}
}

just name the thing to be followed "man"

If you choose not to use frames then put the navbar on every page in the exact same layout...

yah i know that but like ive tried using : _self, _root, _parent, _ , _blank on my navigation buttons and they all pop up a new window, and i want it to just keep the page and load a different page.

teH Zombie. done in like 10-20minutes

[img]http://www.hostingeveryone.com/bigtree/zombie.jpg[/img]

well then how can i make my flash nav bar load the html page into the same browser (ie: not poping up a window with the link)

hey guys, wonder if u can help me out.

ive got 2 frames in my website right, one with my flash navigation and the other with my pages to be loaded into.

now when i load a page the scrollbar comes up but it only scrolls like the bottom 20cm, is it possible to scroll the navbar as well as the page, giving the effect of no frames???

i hope that mde sence

thanx in advance

oh, hahaha guess i should read the whole post next time ^.^

give us an example of ur AS skills. to see how good u are :D

post-apocolyptic action about a group of rebels that uprise against there robot oppressors.

ok, is there anyway to use this in flash, i hav no idea how to incorperate HTML into flash.

href="#" onClick="MM_openBrWindow('http://www.host.com/blah/flashmovie.swf','fallup'
,'width=400,height=300')"

??any help??

also what did u mean u couldnt use brackets? u were using them.

i need a script for flash. iznt that only for HTML??

what u need is sum hitTest, and its everywhere dude, EVERYWHERE. personaly i dont realy know much about hitTest.

but go to the games development section on flashkit.com and theres the longest thread ever on hitTest.

its called "The Elusive hitTest Explained" that should help you out.

hey man thanx for the site, unfortunately, thats not exactly wot im looking for. if i use that then i will have to place a different piece of html code for each swf file. wich would make the script hell long, there should be an easier way out there sumwhere.

thanx again dude

silverspeed im sure u were poking fun at him, lol but u actualy hav a good idea. use all types of gameplay. combine shootemup,adventure,rpg,strategy, platform and others into one game but different sections.

hey pplz, i dont post here much but i need sum help with my site. i asked at flashkit but they didnt do shit. so hope sum pplz here can help.

i need it so that when a button is pushed, it loads an external swf into a new browser window.

i tried using that javascript popup generator from flashdb and i just replaced the" http:// " with " file:// ". but that didnt work.
btw i dont want to load up a html with the swf in it, i just want the swf to load up in a new window.

hope u can help. thanx
