For detecting against duplicated objects it would be easy to put them into an array, and then use a for loop to check each object in the array.
Look up arrays, and for loops.

Frame for each character inside of one mc? Then just go to the right frame.

If you're doing a character select in a fighting game or platformer or something, and you want to say change the head. Just go inside the head MC and make it go to the right frame according to _root.player, for example, or whatever, this._parent._parent, whatever works.

Try setting the setInterval to a variable?
myTimer = setInterval etc..
And then when you press left, just do like clearInterval(myTimer); myTimer = setInterval(etc..);

I guess?

Are you skilled enough to do the game?

Oh, I didnt see that you duplicated the bullet, even though that's kinda common sense.. My bad :D.

You can't delete enemies unless you attached or duplicated it.

What?

Yeah, just randomly attach a movieclip to the stage every few seconds, and inside that movieclip it has a movieclip that when rolled over plays some like "popup" animation that has some dynamic text in it (that you'll set through code, maybe choose a random target from an array).
desc.text = "The droid has spotted a "+targets[Math.floor(Math.round()*target s.length)]+" on the ice";

Np, glad I could help

In AS2

var startms:Number = getTimer();
var endms:Number = getTimer();
var enterdown:Boolean = false; //So you can't hold enter key down by accident. One press, one trace.
onEnterFrame = function()
{
 if(Key.isDown(Key.ENTER))
{
if(!enterdown)
{
   endms = getTimer();
   trace("Ms elasped since last enter press.. "+(endms-startms);
   startms = endms;
   //Whatever.
}
enterdown = true;
}
else
{
enterdown = false;
}
}

Clothes on hot chicks.

One of the animators from bungie made the picture. I think it was the lead one but idk.

'Yeah i'd tap that'

It burns!!

Wow that idea is worth thousands.

Explain more?

Restart flash?
Check to see if any swf's are running too, that might be causing lag (if it's your whole comp going slow).

Haha wow, i didn't know an error could provoke such insight.

Oh meh godd! Teh l33tn3ss

Lol, I'll comment that in for line 666 "THE POWER OF CHRIST COMPELS YOU"

Woww..
A syntax error on line 666, I think I'm gonna back up my files now ;) .

I think he's just trying to strike up a conversation :P.

Mine was Fried Eggs

Of course, thank Flash F1 help for this:

"Converts the pt object from the movie clip's (local) coordinates to the Stage (global) coordinates.

The MovieClip.localToGlobal() method allows you to convert any given x and y coordinates from values that are relative to the top-left corner of a specific movie clip to values that are relative to the top-left corner of the Stage."

 var myPoint:Object = {x:this._x, y:this._y};
this.localToGlobal(myPoint);
var stagex:Number = myPoint.x;
var stagey:Number = myPoint.y;
trace(stagex);

Ok, so define your point as an object, with the properties x and y.
Then the function changes your point's x and y properties to be relative to the _root stage, and then you've got your new x and y!

No it's not, you're missing an underscore.

this._parent.aFrame

OMFG, seriously? Cai, I was on the same page as you, I've never heard of localToGlobal() before! This turns my world upside down.

Ages ago? Try 5 days ago.

Also, if the camera is a little jittery when you move, it's probably cause the camera's camControl function is being called before the player's onEnterFrame function. You can fix this by taking out the line this.onEnterFrame = camControl; inside the camera's code.
And putting _root.camera.camControl(); at the end of the player's onEnterFrame.
Make the camera's instance name "camera".

I guess.. Just look back to this post if it happens to you?

Hi, could everyone testing/willing to test this game please pm me? I'm programming it and when he's offline (like now), it'd be nice to get some ppl testing it.
My AIM is moltobennecereal if you have that, its just faster.
Thanks!

I love WASD to move, I'm an FPS kinda guy ;), so wasd is way more natural than arrows for me.

Wow... Did you script the sound to play?
