so no one knows any shows then?

well u should still support the men out there doing their job

I was just wondering is there an American army equivalent of "Ross Kemp in Afghanistan"?
Like any documentaries that follow the life of the American soldiers out there?

x++ is the same as x += 1

highlight the hole stage, make it bigger so you can only see the cars then motion tweet it back to the origional size. it will look like you're zooming out.

if(player contacting slope){
player._rotation = slope._rotation
}

player speed = slope angle

0 is normal
-180 to 0 is slower
0 to 180 is faster

it cant be too hard to find the code out there on the internet

is there not a button that just swaps the symbols with another one. it keeps the same rotation, size...

try moving the code that has the bullet to after the part where the player moves if u can. post in code if it still dont work

well say you have 2 walls: top_wall & bottom_wall. when the ball bounces off either of the walls you want the ._y direction to go the opposite way.

make a MC of a ball (any size) and change it's instance name to "ball". make 2 MCs that are thin horizontal lines calling one "top_wall" and the other "bottom_wall";

type this in actions...

ball.y = 5;
onEnterFrame = function(){
if(ball._y  == top_wall._y || ball._y+ball._height == bottom_wall._y){
ball.y *= -1;
}
ball._x += 5;
ball._y += ball.y;
}

this is what will change when you hit the wall.

ball.y = 5;

anything inside of this will repeat every frame.

onEnterFrame = function(){}

this means if the ball is touching the top wall or touching the bottom wall it will make ball.y negative. (eg. 5 will be -5, -5 will be 5)

if(ball._y  == top_wall._y || ball._y+ball._height == bottom_wall._y){
ball.y *= -1;
}

these make the ball move by 5. the _y of the ball will change depending on the value of ball.y

ball._x += 5;
ball._y += ball.y;

so you want someone to basically make the game for you?

try the original pong first, it's a lot easier.

try this...

//mute
music.setVolume(0);

//full volume
music.setVolume(100);

to create the music just use this...

music = new Sound();
music.loadSound("song1.mp3", true);

when you leave the frame just make the sound stop...

music.stop();

and to start it again just put...

music.start();

Helo!

i was goin' thru the site, and I unearthed your profile. You appear to be a noticeably fascinating person, however I'm rather inexperienced at how things work here, and dont really know what's with this site. Don't they have some sort of chat thing here? I can't stand writing msgs 2 ppl, and maybe never getting a responce! Anyways, if you are interested in talkin' with me, you could check me over @ date-jump.com?id=3590 , my name there is petite_cutie.

So, ya, hope to chat with you. I'm always looking to meet more people.

thats gonna be alot of code. shouldn't u practise a little more before making a game?

i just got a weird PM from a user called Kendall67er.

anyone else been getting a weird PM like this? also does anyone know where i report this?

shouldn't it be this.gotoAndPlay(5), not stop.

try this to make it play the entire clip try this...

if( key.isDown(Key.CONTROL) && attack ==  flase ){
this.gotoAndPlay(5);
attack = true;
}

on the last frame of the attack put in summit like...

this.gotoAndStop( frame with player stopped );
_root.attack = false;

if (Key.isDown(80)) {
        if (MenuSS == false) {
        MenuSS = true;
        } else {
        MenuSS = false;
        }
}

//try adding an if keyup function here, dunno how it goes to be honest...
if(keyUp == true){

if (MenuSS == true) {
//Make the menu appear..
} else {
//Make the menu disappear..
}

}

i dont think a hit test would be best for this. why not just make it so each point the lines cross you have it recorded on an array, like a map so you know which way you can turn. its hard for me to explain really. hope you understand a little :S

dont flash 8 and above have blur effect in properties? if u aint got that you're gonna have to use photoshop or summit like that and paste it in

if u press up to jump you cant move left or right while in air. is it suppose to be like that?

try running that code only when the player moves so your not getting spammed all the time, only when you need the code to run. can you send a link to your .swf so we can see how it looks?

shouldnt the 2 different traces be different. you got "this._y<_root.player.hitSpot._y" for both

maybe you could use that method with the rotation too so it dont spaz out when it gets on top of it

That ^^ checks if it is between the 2 and -2. Thanks for the idea anyway!

yea that's what i mean, did it work ok?

You'll notice the movement is not very smooth, and well the code using is (to my knowledge) not very efficient. So, any ideas for a better way to do this?

This is the code on the enemy:

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
distancex = _root.player._x - this._x
distancey = _root.player._y - this._y
if(distancex < 0){this._x -=2}
if(distancex > 0){this._x +=2}
if(distancey < 0){this._y -=2}
if(distancey > 0){this._y +=2}

}

try...

distancex = _root.player._x - this._x
distancey = _root.player._y - this._y
if(distancex < 2 || distance> -2){
distancex = 0;
}
if(distancey < 2 || distancey > -2){
distancey = 0;
}
if(distancex < 0){this._x -=2}
if(distancex > 0){this._x +=2}
if(distancey < 0){this._y -=2}
if(distancey > 0){this._y +=2}

it will keep jumping if distance is between 2 and -2.

how would you make an object perform it's actions when it is duped?

try this...

duplicateMovieClip (MC, "MC_1", d);
MC_1.onLoad = function(){
//stuff when first duplicated
}
MC_1.onEnterFrame = function(){
//stuff to repeat
}

I could give them all instance names and do it with a ton of if statements, but is there an easier way?

just create a movie clip 100 times i think...

for(i=0;i<100;i++){
// create movie clip
// movie clip ._x = ??? ._y = ???
}
when you lose a bullet make the alpha = 0 or remove movie clip. when u get more rounds make aplpha = 100 or create another movie clip. it will be different depending on where the bullets are on the screen. isn't a 100 a bit too much :S
