What next?

Making a game that is far simpler than a TD game.

And learning how to program, so you can make any game you want.

Afaik, iPhone apps are written in Objective-C. If you're familiar with C and well-versed with OOP, you wouldn't have much of a hard time learning the language, so if you've been using AS3.0 the proper way (as in writing code in *.as files), you should be fine.

UF mentioned something about adding children, but I never really bothered reading up more on it. Arrays are very easy, come on. You've probably been using arrays without realizing it, since a string is just an array of chars.

o_O How'd they change it? I really liked smoothing.

See? I was right!

Not Gust though. >.>

"I have an idea for a game/movie. Make it for me, slaves."

var numList:Array = new Array();   //Array of random identical unique numbers.
var hasIdentical:Boolean = false;
while(numList.length < 10){  //while we still don't have 10 random unique numbers
  hasIdentical = false;
  randNum = pickRandomNum();   //pick ONE random number
  for (int i = 0; i < numList.length; i++){   //going through the list of picked numbers
    if (numList[i] == randNum){   //if there is any identical pair, skip the rest of  
      hasIdentical = true;   //we found an identical
      break;  //cut the for loop, because of previous line
    }
  } 
  if (!hasIdentical){   //If the number isn't identical to anything in the list
    numList.push(randNum);   //add it
  }
}

Might be wrong, but the idea is to check for an identical number against the current list of random identical numbers for every number randomly generated. Gust or some another AS god will be able to provide something more elegant. >_>

attachMovie()
removeMovieClip()

Zero.

The forum is not a place to advertise your Flash, this is why you have your own NG blog.

on(release){
   var min:Number = 20;
   var max:Number = 30;
   var randNum:Number = (Math.random()*(max-min))+min;
   _root.gotoAndStop(randNum);
}

30FPS minimum for games.

You'd have to be a blind tool not to be able to differentiate between 24FPS and above. Playing DMC4 at 30FPS gave me headaches compared to playing it at 60FPS.

Turn off your caps lock.

Maybe we'll read your plea for help after that.

Required if you want to export a sound to mp3.

Not required if you're okay with wav.

Import then Export using Audacity + lame_enc.dll.

Import new mp3 to Flash.

What's the error code?

Help us help you!

Perhaps _parent instead of parent?

You shouldn't really be here, since you're below 13 you're violating the COPPA.

and seems like flash isn't desighed to do it that way( or is it?)

Why shouldn't it? There are a lot of great frame by frame Flash movies, ranging from stick fights to Adam Phillips' movies like Waterlollies. Note that he used to work for Disney until he resigned.

Tweening is just there to ease animation. I has far less variety in frames, but it saves time.

And don't let age as an excuse. Unless I got my numbers mixed, JAZZA startedhis Paladin series, with the first episode submitted while he was just 13. The last episode was started when he was ust 16 and finished it 2 years later.

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
the_head.swapDepths(1);
the_head.removeMovieClip();
the_tail.swapDepths(2);
the_tail.removeMovieClip();
}

If that doesn't work, then some variable name is misspelled, or there's something wrong about how you structured your MCs, and I would take a wild guess and suggest that you do:

_root.the_head . . .
_root.the_tail . . .

If that's your actual code, way to misread Kirk-Cocaine's post. Lacks the parenthesis to indicate that it's a method.

Check if your code is actually "seeing" the MCs by tracing a value from them, like the_head._x.

Typo.

getNextHighest should be a method.

Change it.

Format:

attachMovie(libraryName, stageName, depth, {initial values});

You can try something like:

attachMovie("Bullet", "Bullet"+p, _root.getNextHighestDepth, {_x:this._x, _y:this._y});

What do you mean by a linear effect?

Doubt it's loadMovie() he wants. Preloaders, more likely.

I'd suggest you just jump straight to AS3.

I'm still at AS2, but looking at some sample codes, it's not really that much different, and in fact I like it better than AS2 because it's cleaner. I don't even do old AS2 habits like onClipEvents and OEF onKeyDowns anymore.

*facedesk*

I was meaning to type Pivot, I have no idea why I typed ToonBoom, which is a professional animation software. >_<

Oh, it's 2AM already.

Flash is a professional tool, that's why it's expensive for you.

If you wanna stick to less-capable animation-only software that's free, go get LiveSwif or ToonBoom.

Is miniBoss a Boolean or a MovieClip? The condition kinda doesn't make sense if it's the latter.

You can probably try if (_root.miniBoss == null), but I'm not sure.

Happy new year!

Gonna look through the history now. :D

I do hope you're talking about trials and demos, otherwise you are so gonna get the banhammer laddy.
