Sweet tutorial.. However.. Is there a way to make any WALLS for this?
I made a few, but they have this wierd 'bounce' effect which pushes the player away whenever you touch them. Is there a simple way to make the player just simply STOP whenever he touches a wall?
Thanks!

(looking for a very simple code, I can place on wall pieces, nothing complicated)


Hi! Got an AS problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

(I'm using Flash MX)

I got:
- "spaceship" (player) on the main stage/scene
- "stage 1" MovieClip on the main stage/scene which inside houses another MovieClip "bullet"

How do I/What is the correct code to:
- Make the "bullet" inside the "Stage 1" MovieClip move towards the "spaceship"'s x/y position on the main stage? (Not follow it like a heat seeker, just move towards the player like a normal bullet would)

The code works when the bullet is placed outside of a movie clip, but not inside one.

Here it is: (remember this is placed on a MC within MC, how do I root it correctly to make it shoot towards an object on the main stage?)

onClipEvent (load) {
moveX = (this._x-_root.spaceship._x)/30;
moveY = (this._y-_root.spaceship._y)/30;
}

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
this._x -= moveX;
this._y -= moveY;
nextFrame();
}

Thanks in advance! Any help would be most excellent!!

Response to: ArmorGames new sponsorship plans! Posted December 31st, 2005 in Game Development

ArmorGames was the first experience I've had with any sponsorship and it was better than what I expected.
They're very reliable, friendly, helpful and ask you first before doing anything with your flash.

ArmorGames helped the exposure and traffic of my games by posting them at other large websites/flash communities, I never knew existed.
(heck my site got slammed with literally hundred thousands of hits in the first two weeks and they keep on coming. I had the Armorgames and my site's link right next to one another.)

The requirements for placing AG links on your flash titles is simple, doesn't clutter your flash, is not distracting, and that animated intro looks great.
If I were asked by a few sites for sponsorship, AG would be somewhere at the very top of the list!

I haven't tried out any of those contests yet, but if I had more time I'd definitely try it out!!
