Same with me. Now on my new computer it never ever freeze. But at least I learned to save a lot.

wow .. that was such the worst sentence ever...

How long do you want our part to be ?

how long do u have our parts to be ?

I got an idea for my part ,ill start working on it. it may take like 3 parts.

ill give u news as soon as possible.

I would suggest a new preloader. And menu 2 is a lot better imo.

I may do a part, just need an idea :S

I think of an idea for a game, draw some shitty characters for my game ( on paper ). Then I remember I dont know AS3.0 yet and I go in my room to read my As3.0 Book

:P

You should add some colors.

I had no speaker on, but make sure to have a nice music.

Also, u can have -X life, fix that :P

look like a nice concept to me.

maybe its just me that have been to stressed about it :P

ill keep reading it and ill give ya news!

Well , they talk about package and .as files...

ill give u the exact example they give, but I can really copy the sentences..

The file structure for our program's source files becomes:
virtualzoo
/- src
/-zoo
/-VirtualZoo.as
and so on.

Thats right. I bought 2 excellent books about AS3. One problem still remain.. I dont understand where to place those scripts! :O

It keeps saying ''ok, add a .as file in your main .as file'' ... I just dont understand where to place all these.

I searched google but since AS3.0 isnt as propaged as 2.0, it's hard to find good tutorials.

Any1 can just give me some quicks tips, or even better, a lil .fla .

Im starting to learn some AS3.0 now. Lets see what ucan teach me :D

Cause I bought 2 books for learning AS, one is about A.S3.0 and the other one is like a AS dictionary.

Look like ill learn AS3.0 first :P

I was using AS3.0. I did it with AS2.0 and it worked.

Is there really a big difference between both?

Basicly im new to AS and I decided to try learning some before buying Flash (I downloaded the ''free trial'' version).

I was reading on AS:Main and decided I would try to make something, like just making a character move.
The problem is that it wont let me add a script on a MC, only on frames. Correct me if im wrong, but isnt a movement code going on the MC??

I decided to add the script inside the MC ( on the frame ) and heres what it say:
1087: Syntax error: extra characters found after end of program.

my code is only :
onClipEvent(load){
speed=5
}
onClipEvent(enterFrame){
if(Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)){
this._x+=speed
}
if(Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)){
this._x+=speed
}
if(Key.isDown(Key.UP)){
this._y-=speed
}
if(Key.isDown(KeyDOWN)){
this._y+=speed
}
}

As I said, im pretty sure this should go on a MC and not on a frame.

For a fun learning experience:

I used both when I created "Hangman Extreme," "Monsters of Rock," and "Lazerbeamz." Looks like they're all on discount at Amazon, so go nuts.

-)

Those 2 books looks really nice. I took em and they are on the way :D

thanks!

The ''dummies'' one looked nice but they look too stupid

I really want to learn AS and I cant always be in from of my computer reading. I decided to buy a book to learn how to do it. The only problem is that there is like 30 books about AS ( Flash8:AS, Flash8 for dummies, Flash AS for dummies, Flash game programming for ... ETC ETC)

Anyone bought one and could recommend me one? Im BEGINNING with action script and I really want it to be simple but really helpfull.

Give me some title!

When I publish it , it works but it doesnt show what I drew. It shows some kind of shapes and colors but not what I made.

Any idea why it do that ?

thanks! :D

I know its possible to save a little animation into a .gif , but HOW???

I know this have been asked a lot but I really cant find :(

oh , sorry for the late answer , just saw your question.

No, add your own sound, music , etc. remember to put the AS Stopallsound at the end ( Dont copy/paste this , its not the real one :D )
