Uh oh, it looks like you're really in a pickle.

/sarcasm.

AS2 or AS3?

I'm somewhat... relieved.

I have a game, where enemys spawn randomly, from this tutorial. It works fine but when the flash goes to another frame they keep coming :S
This is the code:

onEnterFrame = function () {
    if (random(10) == 0) {
        attachMovie("bullet","b"+i,getNextHighestDepth(),{_y:random(Stage.width), _x:Stage.height});
        bullets[bullets.length] = i;
        i++;
    }
    for (j=0; j<bullets.length; j++) {
        n = bullets[j];
        _root["b"+n]._x -= 20;
        if (_root["b"+n].hitTest(_root.wall)) {
            removeMovieClip(_root["b"+n]);
			_root.touched ++;
            bullets.splice(j,1);
        }
	}
	};
}

How do I stop this? I know it has something to do with removeMovieClip(); or something like that but I'm not too sure.

Here's pretty good tutorial.

What kind of music file? Sometimes mp3's won't work, try saving it as WAV

Did you try Google? That was the first result.

i've tried _root.overall=_root.skill1+_root.skill2+
_root.skill3/3
and: _root.overall=(_root.skill1+_root.skill2 +_root.skill3)/3
but all of these keep returning the value 0
i have the variable names on all the text boxes and when i test the game, the values for each individual skill raises, i just can't figure out this part.
plz help newgrounders
from a fellow programmer in peril, plz, plz help

I think you might need for your overall var:

overall = (skill1+skill2+skill3)/3;

It worked for me when i tested it.

Well, you can get Flash here and there are HEAPS of tutorials on the net like here and on Google.

You can get a 30 Trial version of Flash cs4 here and there are plenty of good tutorials on NG. And there's always Google if you want more.

A dynamic text box inside an mc won't work. on the frame we have:

mc.scoreshow = ""+score+"";

But it the score doesn't show up, but outside the mc it does. Any help?

_visible = false;

And just putting whatever HUD stuff inside the camera itself. For me its much less of a hassle and makes it easier to edit things.

Thank you so much :D It's been a problem for ages! I commend you, sinz3ro.

In a game, how would you combine an mc with vcam so that the health bar etc stays in the corner? we've tried putting inside the vcam itself but it doesn't show up. any help?

how abouts posting the solution so peoples can refer back to this thread

Well I realised that instead of using all these variables i just made the moving on the mouseEvent. So:

mouseL = new Object();
mouseL.onMouseWheel = function(scroll) {
ship._x -= thrust;
}
Mouse.addListener(mouseL);

There.

Ah, doesn't matter, I figured it out.

if Scrolling equels true then scrolling equels true?

if(_root.scrolling = true){
mouseL = new Object();
mouseL.onMouseWheel = function(scroll) {
_root.speed = true;
_root.scrolling = true;
}

I just don't know anymore...

100th post btw.

im guessing it's because your passing scroll into your functions but your not using scroll EVER what is scroll and why is it being passed in?

you allso have the same function many times with different outcomes

this looks like as3??

if so im useless here

Well it's the scroll var thats making the character move, which I didnt include the code for at the start.
And no, it's not as3.

Because I'm a canine astronaught with internet connection in space.

I'm using the scroll wheel in a game. I want to make it so when the scroll wheel is scrolled a variable (speed) is true. If you aren't scrolling speed is false. My current code is:

var scrolling:Boolean = false;
mouseL = new Object();
mouseL.onMouseWheel = function(scroll) {
	_root.scrolling = true;
}
 if(_root.scrolling = true){
	 mouseL = new Object();
mouseL.onMouseWheel = function(scroll) {
_root.speed = true;
_root.scrolling = true;
}
Mouse.addListener(mouseL);
 } else {
	 _root.scrolling = false;
	 _root.speed = false;
 }

But speed keeps staying true. Any help?

I feel like such a noob. :(

What I'm trying to do is make it so at the end of the animation it loads up a website page on the same window. What will I need to do.

note: remember it must load to the webpage AFTER the little animation. thanks guys ;)

Well, on the last frame of your animation put:

getUrl("http://www.examplae.com/blah.html", "_self");

Hope that helps!
