WRONG should be replaced with 2 and gotoAndStop(CORRECT); should be replaced with nextFrame;

My Instance names are posted above, I do know a bit about Action Scripting, not that much of a noob.

well ignoring the people helping wont work

I am designing a ammo system, so the player presses down and the ammo goes down (simple, really)

I tried ammo - 1;, I tried ammo--;, I even tried ammo -= 1;. All of which dont lower the ammo at all.

So is there something I am doing wrong or should I just keep trying?

dpeends where the variable is it might have to be

_root.ammo --
or case sensetive Ammo AMMO ammo are all different

if(_root.password.text == "password" || _root.password.text == "Password") {
gotoAndStop("correct");
} else {
gotoAndStop("wrong");
}
}

In this code, the condition checks to see if password equals 'password' or 'Password' (for case sensitivity, there is probably an easier way to do this).

yeah i beleive its

string.toLowerCase

it always makes it lowercase

I am using this Action Script:
on (release) { if (password eq "yourpassword") { gotoAndStop(CORRECT); } else { gotoAndStop(WRONG); } }

I am using this tutorial:
http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/24 5117
This is how I have the frames set up:
Main>Wrong Answer> Question 1> Question 2> Question 3> Question 4> Question 5> Question 6> Question 7> Question 8> Question 9> Question 10> Congrats Page

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

-Namkrow

on (release) { 
trace(password);
if (password == "yourpassword") { 
  gotoAndStop(CORRECT); 
} else { 
    gotoAndStop(WRONG); 
  } 
}

try that does it say undefined?

onClipEvent(load){
if (awesome ? NextFrame(): stop())
}

hey guys se we are working on a game and i have this idea for moves

do you think the ninja should Stab then swipe from head to foot then do a fiqure 8 attack all in a combo if you press the key at the right time OR make each move a different key?

im also thinking each kill you get some ninja power when the meter's full you can unleash a spinning tornado attack where you cant be hurt but takes out all enemies on screen and lasts for 5 secs

so far only got
left right Arrows MOVE
Space JUMP
hold Shift and move to SNEAK

it's the instance name of a movieclip that is inside of the crosshair movieclip. so i guess _root isn't a good idea D=

well due to that

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (this.hitTest (_root.bullet)) {
this.gotoAndStop(2);
}
}

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
  if (this.hitTest (_root.crosshair..bullet)) {

What do you mean?

or if they are imported with actionscript, you need to tell flash to play them again.

soundName.start()

Do that for all the sounds? What do you mean by imported with actionscript?

he means importand linkage with actionscript

you dont have to have something on the stage to use it for actionscript you can pull stuff from the library

you can even draw in actionscript

this works too but it does not have the actions for the RollOut
just do the same but with RollOut instead

and fix the frame #

didnt put one in cos he may not want a roll out :P

put this on the main timeline
and stop to play if you want it to continue playing

mc1.onRollOver = function(){

mc1.gotoAndStop(2);
mc2.gotoAndStop(2);

}

when you click on the character MC where is the + make sure it is at his feet on the bottom of the character

well especially older cartoons what happens is one person wil do the background and then the animator come across and puts his animated cells on top of the background where of course he has used a different color

normally its 2 people one doing the artwork and one animating :)

ive noticed this alot
