me and a group of people are making a platformer built around the idea of artists block
the idea is that the character and everything else slowly gets better and looks better
what do u think and any suggestions as to what shold be done

ok well i don't think that matters its still helpful to those needing it

I am compiling a list of all the best flash game engines and helpful fla's, what they do and how good they are, i'll start.
game engines-
PBE (push button engine) it's alright, cept it is very confusing and it's not that easy to get used to but can be used to make any kind of flash game
pbe can be found at http://pushbuttonengine.com/
uses xml coding through an add on to action script
however when you get used to it, it's very good engine, also they are bringing in a community section where you can download add ons for the engine which might make it better
overall 3/5 at the moment

Edward v0.a1 is used to make platformers and is great because it is really easy to use and you don't have to have any knowledge of flash to use it.
the link is http://edward.sophiehoulden.com/index.ph p?title=Main_Page
edward is a great engine and probably my favorite i've found i would give it a 4.5/5

Box 2d
http://www.box2d.org/
really good except it does take a long while to get working and understand
works only with as3 another bad point for some people
3.5/5

What are these "other scripts"?

ok so when i put in the stop(); it stops on the frame but then when i put in buttons with scripts to other frames it stops working again

There isn't an exact AS3 mouse avoider tutorial there, but all you need to know is basic hitTest

thanks also i'm working on it now, how do u make a menu stay as a menu without moving on

like i have my menu and all it's buttons but i want to know how to have it pause on the menu frame until they pick a button

i'm making a mouseavoider game which has distractions to try and make u not look where u're mouse is eg girl slowly stripping in corner stuff like that but i cant find the code for a mous avoider game anyone know a link to a tutorial or wanna tell me the codes i have cs4 so as3 or as2 would be fine

*bump*

F = -kx thus shows that the force is always in the opposite direction to the displacement, in the same way you will often see newtonian gravitational force written as

F = -GmM/r^2

or coulomb's electrostatic law written as

F = -kqQ/r^2

i'm sorry i know u're trying to hep but could u please explain in english waht u mean by this and how i would use this in actionscript

i'm sorry but please explain exactly what u mean

basically i don't know how to code elastic and can't find the information i need

You don't have a clue how to program do you...?

actually i do so far i've put in the gravity, controls, friction etc

Be more specific with what you need help with. Start thinking about making the engine, and start doing it, then if you get stuck with something, come and ask.

i'm making a flash game similar to hedgehog launch and penguin flight with a turtle and was wondering how i would go about getting the money made from each flight from the distance travelled times the time taken to stop times the maximum height how would i make that

you need the 3rd Dimension, or something that fakes it.

i have cs4 so have the 3d function but how would i go about making it

lol nice

don't make a side-scroller.
make a depth-scroller

what sort of scripting would i use to make that however?

Water Particles

This one's about 50 lines of code.

yes that is good

yeas good idea, i could make it you have to draw your own setup with a limited amount of lines you could do that's a good idea actually anyone got a better one

yer eactly asing people if they wish there was a game where you draw a line and something happens along it eg. do people wish there was a game where you draw a line and ride along it

please don't bag people for trying to help me

thanks for your imput but i was looking for somehting different

i'm thinking of making a game using similar programming to linerider but want it to be orignal in some way, what are some ideas for a game that uses the line drawing tool that could be fun?
