var bulletArray:Array = new Array();
var turretspeed=12;

stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fire);
function fire(event:MouseEvent) {

	var Bullet:bullet = new bullet();

My friend just sent me this link - After a brief skim through it seems to go through as3 is general.

var count = 0;
var name = b+"_"+count;
bulletArray.push(name);

AS3 is clever, you don't need to assign a new name for each new "bullet", you just have to do:

var bullet:Bullet = new Bullet();
// Bullet is the linkage name of the bullet MC from the library
// set bullet properties.. x, y, rotation etc

bulletArray.push(bullet);

And then when you want to update the bullet(s), position or whatever, just loop through them like:

You'll have to do this everyframe, otherwise nothing will happen o:

var i:int = 0;
for(i = 0; i < bulletArray.length; ++i)
{
     var b:MovieClip = bulletArray[i] as MovieClip;

     // set properties, like..
    b.x++;
    b.y += 234567;

   // And to remove the bullet,
   stage.removeChild(b);
   bulletArray.splice(i--. 1);
}

Of course there are other ways, but this is the simplest for someone of your ability D:

Hope there aren't any errors.

But seriously, AS3 is superior to AS2 in almost everyway.

OH AND ALSO

on guy_mc i put this

if(this.hitTest(_root.door_mc)){

if(cango == true)

you should cosider optimixzing your code

Are you kidding me? The best way is to learn the basics first, then improve it as time goes.

i'm pretty sure that cancels the function, put it before the go to's

if(clicked>=40){
delete onEnterFrame;
clicked = 0;
gotoAndStop(369);
}

Should work, may have to move the delete around.

flash.utils.getQualifiedClassName

I have a feeling this is the sort of thing that you're looking for, but I'm really not sure. No harm in trying it :)

Flashkit?

Wrong forum.

I've put the v-cam code on the frame, not on the player.

Yes, I am suing AS2. But what am i adding to the screen? a white box with the instance name Vcam?

Download the vcam (Link, click on "Download vCam AS2 FLA", and add it to your flash file. Then drag it onto the stage, and give it the instance name "vcam".

Add it to the stage, then every frame set its x and y co-ordinates to that of the players. Simplez.

Ok, lets see:

if (Key.isDown(Key.UP)) {
	if(!this.hitTest(_root.ground))
	{
		this._y -= speed2;
		this.gotoAndStop(2);
	}
}

Update the code that i pasted earlier with the above - It should be on line 19. If you want to change it so the player can't move through the black bar at all, it will get abit more complicated, but hopefully this is a good basis for you to start upon.

if(Key.isDown(Key.SPACE)) {
    var rand:Number = Math.round(Math.random()) ;

   if(rand == 0) {
      // attack 1
      this.gotoAndStop(frameNumber);
   }
   else if(rand == 1) {
     // attack 2
      this.gotoAndStop(frameNumber);
   }

  fight = true;
}

Should work.

Not tested.

You'll need a third frame in the "kid" MC, which will be the attack animation. On the last frame of the attack animation, put:

_root.player.fight = false;
_parent.gotoAndStop(1);

And replace the code you have on the "kid" MC, with:

onClipEvent (load) {
	var speed:Number = 7;
	var speed2:Number = 7;
	var scale:Number = _xscale;
	var fight:Boolean = false;
}
onClipEvent (keyUp) {
	if (!fight) {
		this.gotoAndStop(1);
	}
}
onClipEvent (keyDown) {
	if (Key.getCode() == Key.SPACE) {
		this.gotoAndStop(3);
		fight = true;
	}
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
	if (Key.isDown(Key.UP)) {
		this._y -= speed2;
		this.gotoAndStop(2);
	}
	if (Key.isDown(Key.DOWN)) {
		this._y += speed2;
		this.gotoAndStop(2);
	}
	if (Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)) {
		this._x -= speed;
		this.gotoAndStop(2);
		_xscale = -scale;
	}
	if (Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)) {
		this._x += speed;
		this.gotoAndStop(2);
		_xscale = +scale;
	}
	thisDepth=this.getDepth(), otherDepth=_root.enemy.getDepth();
	if (_y>_root.enemy._y && otherDepth>thisDepth) {
		this.swapDepths(_root.enemy);
	}
	if (_root.enemy._y>_y && thisDepth>otherDepth) {
		this.swapDepths(_root.enemy);
	}
	if (ground.hitTest(_x+(_width/2), _y-(_height/2), true)) {
		_x += speed;
	}
	if (ground.hitTest(_x-(_width/2), _y-(_height/2), true)) {
		_x -= speed;
	}
}

You're code was a mess, so I tidied it up. And I don't see the point of half of it, but meh.
- Good practice to declare variables properly.
- You only need one enterFrame clipEvent

And as for the black bar "thing", I might look at that later. I would upload a fla, but I think its better if you learnt for yourself.

onClipEvent(load)
{
	var xspeed:Number = 0;
	var friction:Number = 0.9;
}

onClipEvent(enterFrame)
{
	if(Key.isDown(37))
	{
		xspeed--;
	}
	else if(Key.isDown(39))
	{
		xspeed++;
	}
	else
	{
		xspeed *= friction;
	}
	
	this._x += xspeed;
}

Simple example - Player speeds up when you hold left or right, then slides when neither are being pressed.

Coding on the frame is far better (and easier) than on induvidial MC's.

Defiently, although the ball doesn't look very realisitc when it "falls" through the basketball hoop.

A shuttlecock isn't a ball btw.

This might work if using as2. Might.

onKeyDown = function() {
   if(key.isDown(2)) {
       Mouse.hide();
   }
}

I have a character which is located at the bottom of the stage controllable via left+right keys. He is suppose to be able to collect the falling objects. I assume you'd need to use a hitTest, correct? I have tried using one in every way I could find but I cannot seem to get it right.

So far I have this code in my movie:

this.createEmptyMovieClip("canvas_mc", 10);

Interval = setInterval(addDart, 1000);

function addDart () {
var t:MovieClip = canvas_mc.attachMovie("dart1", "dart"+i, canvas_mc.getNextHighestDepth())
i++;
t._x = Math.random()*Stage.width;
t._y = -50;
}

My question: Where should I put the hitTest code? I've put it everywhere I could think of but nothing seems to work. Any help would be appreciated.

You could add the dart to an array, and then loop through the array every frame to see whether any are being hit. Like so:

this.createEmptyMovieClip("canvas_mc",  10); 
Interval = setInterval(addDart, 1000);
var darts:Array = new Array();
 
function addDart () {
 	var t:MovieClip = canvas_mc.attachMovie("dart1", "dart"+i, canvas_mc.getNextHighestDepth())
 	i++;
 	t._x = Math.random()*Stage.width;
 	t._y = -50;
       darts.push(t);
}

onEnterFrame = function() {
     var dart_count:Number = darts.length;
 
    for(i = 0; i < dart_count; ++i) {
         if(darts[i].hitTest(whatever)) {
             // do whatever
             // remove dart from stage, and splice from array if needed.
       }
   }
}

Theres bound to be some errors as my as2 is abit rusty :)

Which version of flash are you using?

I'm running CS4, and the only way I could get to it was by selecting (or making) a movieclip, then selecting properties, then looking under filters.
