Press F1 in flash and start reading! After that read this. http://www.adobe.com/support/flash/actio n_scripts/actionscript_dictionary/

Yeah its possible but the file will be huge. I recommend using CS3 because it supports photoshop images and it will make this a ton easier.

I started learning flash when I was 14.

Don't put everything in the first frame.. The text is really small which makse it hard to see. How about you flash the damage number.

Here are some links to some sites that helped me a lot. Mainly the AS dictionary, if you want to become better at AS its a must read!

Sperm donors. what ever its called.

Its possible but the game will have to be 1/5th of the real game. 1/5 the army, 1/5 the map. It depends if your going to make it tile based, isometric, 2d, whatever.

The biggest problem to overcome would be lag. You really have to optimize your code and tone down everything thats happening.

I've done something like this before. Heres an uploading with flash tutorial thing. http://www.flash-db.com/Tutorials/upload /

So you have to save the pictures name and stuff in a database. Then you have to send the data to flash in xml. Once you have to information you can add the image in flash.

Make a movieclip. Click on it and name it. Is that what you mean.

Average doesn't mean the exact middle. It means a quantity, rating, or the like that represents or approximates an arithmetic mean.

The symbol needs a name, so it has to be a movieclip. You can do this easily by changing the movieclips visible value.

on(release){
movieclip._visible = false;
}

var head:Color = new Color(movieclip);
head.setRGB(0x000000);

For more information!

So.. When dragging an object stop the drawing function.

Hiding layers on screen helps.

Stage.showMenu = false;

For the second thing. In flash cs3 you can make normal shapes transparent. In other versions you have to turn it into a graphic or mc, I highly suggest graphic. Select the graphic on stage and click on the color drop down thing.

Firstly, you only need one enterframe loop for that not 50. So that being said make an empty movieclip already on stage and add a loop on the clip. The movieclip will keep looping checking all the stuff on stage.

So it'll be something like..

for(i=0; i<_root.currentItems; i++){
if(_root["i"+i].hitTest(whatever)){
whatever
}
}

If you wrote that code your problem should be a snap.

I've made some sites in flash and from my experience. If your not going to make a theme or crazy thing thats impossible in html do it in html! The website you have right now can be made in html easy. Your not using flash to its full potential. You have to do something that makes it unique and interesting.

Heres two sites that'll help you get the idea of a professional flash website. www.thefwa.com www.designmeltdown.com

Something like this? The moveclip mouse moves rounded to the tile your on. Thats what i'm using for my game anyway.

var ymouse = ((2*(_ymouse-tiles._y)-(_xmouse-tiles._x))/2);
var xmouse = ((_xmouse-tiles._x)+ymouse);
game.ymouse = Math.round(ymouse/game.tile);
game.xmouse = Math.round(xmouse/game.tile)-1;
tiles.mouse._x = (game.xmouse-game.ymouse)*game.tile;
tiles.mouse._y = (game.xmouse+game.ymouse)*game.tile/2;

lifebar._xscale = life/lifeM*length

For the slideshow thing you will need to send the to a php file then it'll save it in a database.

For the loading.

createEmptyMovieClip("blank",0);
blank.loadMovie("game.swf");
//or
loadMovie("game.swf",100);

Its best to use depthes for games an such because the stage and stuff change while importing..

Its not going to be easy... When uploading an image you send its info to a php fie which stores the info in a database. And to get the info call the php file to get a random file from the database. Then with that info open the picture. Of course the data should be in xml format so flash can read it easier.

Open up notepad, make your own tags and save it as .xml.

<makeTags><b>hello</b></makeTags>

Search for it on google.

I read a tutorial on how to make that effect along time ago. I don't remember where.

Turn the page into XML then load that into a html textbox. It works fine.

This explains everything.

Well. Make one movieclip containing all the items on seperate frames. Make multiple copies of the movieclip and name them i0, i1,i2 etc.

function addItem(item){
var invM = 4;
for(i=0; i<invM; i++){
var in = _root["i"+i];
if(in._currentframe == 1){
in.gotoAndStop(item);
}
}
//removing items.. its the samething execpt change the if value.
}

Its possible. Well first you'll have to learn how to make tile based games. Then you have to learn how isometrics works. I could make it but it'll take way too much work for such a simple game.

Wow thanks guys. There will be a lot of tactical stuff. :) If you have any ideas for maps, jobs whatever i'm listening.

About the floating on nothing glitch, i'll fix that now. I'm going to raise the framerate to 24.

I've been working on this for two weeks. Its not finished but I want some feedback. This game is a tactical rpg, if you don't know what that is its basically a chess game. As the game runs every unit will gain CT, when a units Ct hits 100 that unit can do something. Move your 5 guys towards the enemy and attack them. Depending on where you hit them theres a higher chance of dealing damage. Note I haven't added abilities yet and the AI just moves forward.

Use the direction keys to move the map.
Use the mouse to select an action and a tile.

The main objective is to defeat all enemies but sometimes you'll have to save someone or defeat just one enemy.

As you win battles you gain points. The amount of points won depends on how well you played. With those points you can unlock new jobs or learn new abilities. I'm thinking about adding equipment, which you can buy with points.
