Is there any way to do it without using the textFormat object? Like just saying:

myText.align="center"??

Or do I need to use textFormat?

How do I make the text in the text box centered?

I'd have to see the FLA, but right now I'm busy and I got to go, well you know how to reach me (in profile) cya.

Give the bomb an INSTANCE NAME of bomb, then, change the instance name of the video frame BombVid to bombvid (no caps) then use this:

on(release){
_root.bomb.bombvid.play();
}

well you need to make instance names on each one down to the actual thing you weant to control. If the movie is nested in 2 movie clips, those 2 must have an instance name, or none will show up.

You dont put any parameters in the play() action. Just keep it as play(). Also, make sure you give a direct target path for it, example:

_root.parentmc.childmc.mymovie.play()

Also, make sure the video MC is on the stage ;)

I saves to the same directory with the fla. Don't do export movie. Use Publish. It's better. You go to publish settings to choose all the options you'd like to use(gif, quicktime, HTML, SWF......) then you can do different options with the tabs at the top, and then when done, go to publish.

Publish is how you export stuff. For example, it's how you create an SWF of your flash. Or any other format. But if the fla is saved, you just could do CTRL+ENTER to create an SWF. But this is the TRUE way of making the SWF, GIF, JPEG, QUICKTIME, etc.

Thanks!!

But how would I give it a font, font size, color, boldness, etc.?

Try this:

In the publish settings box, select the GIF tab at the top. Where it says palette type, change Web 216, to Adaptive. The quality should now be much better.

How do I create text dynamicly through AS?

Thanks Denvish. It worked!

Anyone?

If the movieclips are both on different levels, can that effect a hitTest?

that should work.
well it does for me

Nope, it doesn't work.

PLEASE REMEMBER THAT I'M USING API, SO THE MOVIECLIPS ARE MADE DYNAMICLY!!

I'm making an API game, and I set up a hitTest so that when one MovieClip hits the other, they both are removed. Here's the if statement I wrote:

if (enemy.hitTest(mc)) {
removeMovieClip(mc);
removeMovieClip(enemy);
}

mc is the movieclip you control, and enemy is the movieclip that follows mc.

I want them both to be removed when enemy hits mc. With the code I wrote, nothing seems to happen, as if the code is completely ignored.

Could someone PLEASE help me!!

Same ones that I said I needed in the last update I posted about it!! >:^(

WTF IS THAT? That has NOTHING to do with what I asked.

How do I get an MC to follow another MC?

You have already created a topic like this very recently. Try reading posts from THAT, as I already posted in there. Don't re-create the same topic, but instead, bump an old one back up, by posting something there!!

stopAllSounds();
If this isn't the right code, please rephrase your question.

COOL PONG GAME!!

What's API stand for anyway? I've been trying to figure it out.

PEOPLE WHO MAY HAVE DROPPED OUT:
Crawlaway, Cmbpc, Fugmug, Senorbu29085, ICmilk, Faille, _Nightcrawler_

I think they may have dropped out, since they haven't posted recently, AND since I still need there lines!!!
