you dont save stuff to a cookie...

you save stuff to a Shared Object (SO)

to load an SO:

var so:SharedObject = SharedObject.getLocal("gamesave");
_root.variable1 = so.data.variable1;
_root.variable2 = so.data.varible2;

to save an SO:

var so:SharedObject = SharedObject.getLocal("gamesave");
so.data.variable1 = _root.variable1;
so.data.variable2 = _root.variable2;

Where is it messing up? - its messing up after and sometimes during audio

What is it doing? - the audio still plays but the animation just stops and freezes

How is your flash contructed? - with scenes

there is actually a flash bug i've experienced before. It happens after you delete a scene.

solution:
save the .fla file and open it up agin and recompile the swf.

looks fine to me...

In CS3 both fit right above the timeline.
Undocked they just float around disturbing any activity, and without them I just can do.

I dunno cos i dun hav CS4...i don't even have enough space on my hard drive left for it...(7GB left!)

I dunno if any of have noticed, but whenever I delete a scene in flash, the AS code just messes up when exported...

Solution:
Save the .fla file and close flash. Reopen the file.

there is the part when the camera zooms to the blue castle crasher (beginning) then says its salty. Its too fast.

the code would most probably be similar to this:

onEnterFrame() = function();
if ((enemy_pos._y + enemy_pos._x) - (player_pos._y + player_pos._y) > "whatever value") {
shoot = true
}

you didn't answer my question...could you do it with script?

:...the water zooms in to the water for a close up, but instead of the character popping out of the water, the screen stays blue for the rest of the movie.

The sounds still play though.
Please help, tell me what I need to do.

Are you sure you set the layers correctly? Please elaborate further...

Please explain.

That is a tint tween. You can also tween filters the same way.

could you do it with script?

I have 2004, and I just use gradients.
Set up a rainbow, change some alphas....
But, I have no idea about filters or glows in flash, never used CS3 or 2008 :(

Can you clearly state, or give an example of what you need, and need it for?

um...something like this:
Click

I'm using it to make things look spectrum-ey

maybe i didnt describe it clearly...

I want to make an effect like a colour changing shape tween...with a script. I think it uses glow filters.

How do I make a rainbow glow effect? like colour transitions with AS2.

uh...hello?

im making a vertical shooter,
and i need some help with making the AI
what type of coding would i need?
what i mean is for something to come onto the screen, just say and when it gets a certain distance towards you it comes at you and attacks...
and also for shooting AI's when you are a certain distance from them they shoot how do you do this???
thanks
because my expertise are not with AI

most probably, oyu would be doing this:

if (((enemy._y)+(enemy._x)) - ((player._y) + (player._x)) < (whatever value you like))

this is for the distance...

the attack part, I don't really know.

I have this code which works like a conversation...the mcs is the dialogue. Can someone help me make this code more efficient? The code kinda puts your cpu usage up to 100%...

i just fixed it...ty anyway

so i change "unlocked1" to "unlocked"?

ok. i've fixed it, but now how do i make it fade aka alpha -= 5?

if ((score == 10000)&&(level == 1)) {
	_root.attachMovie("unlocked", "unlocked1"+_root.getNextHighestDepth(), _root.getNextHighestDepth(), {_x:0, _y:350});
	unlocked.onEnterFrame = function() {
		this._alpha -= 5;
		level = 2;
		if (this._alpha<=0) {
			this.removeMovieClip();
		}
	}
}

yr code's wrong...got error with the {}

Now i've got another problem...

if ((score == 10000)&&(level == 1)) {
	unlocked = _root.attachMovie("unlocked", "unlocked"+_root.getNextHighestDepth(), _root.getNextHighestDepth(), {_x:0, _y:350});
	unlocked.onEnterFrame = function() {
		this._alpha -= 5;
		level = 2;
		if (this._alpha<=0) {
			this.removeMovieClip();
		}
	}
}

The "unlock" mc doesn't come out

lol...forgot about that...ty

My code doesn't seem to work properly. When this code executes:

if ((score = 10000)&&(level = 1)) {
		unlocked = _root.attachMovie("unlocked", "unlocked"+_root.getNextHighestDepth(), _root.getNextHighestDepth(), {_x:0, _y:350});
		unlocked.onEnterFrame = function() {
			this._alpha -= 5;
			if (this._alpha<=0) {
				this.removeMovieClip();
			}
		}
		level = 2;
	}

the score is set to 10000 automatically!

Any help?

anyone?

Ever played Spaceship Escape 1 or 2?

If not, Click Here

I've decided to let the game play automatically, meaning that the game plays itself, like AI.
The problem now is that the code never executes!

I don't know what I've done wrong with the code:

Help Me

code is on the scene "game", "layer 1"

did you add the font to the library??

You have to enter the font size correctly too

thx alot

how about fading it out anytime? cos this is for a game,and the game could end any second...

How do I fade music with AS2?
