Secondly, why did you make it a function to set directions. Why can't you just use ._xscale = -100, _xscale = 100.

It won't work for him if his MC's initial scale is not 100, although he can easily just resize the stuff inside the MC, his code was rather clever for scaling.

Ack, let me rephrase. Do not use constants (like numbers) to modify values. Instead, use variables so you can easily manipulate variables anytime.

Do not use += 8. Use a variable for each direction move speed, like:

moveLeft
moveRight
moveUp
moveDown

Set them all to default (8). Now, do a four-point shapeFlag, like if (this.hitTest(_root.object._x + 5, _root.object._y, true), then moveRight = 0.

I've had that problem some time ago, until now. You can probably use a for loop (_root.person+i, i++), but I haven't really tried it, cause I really think it would lag a LOT.

Rules are unclear and vague. Bet this won't last long.

1) Ragdoll physics involves inverse kinematics, which is a rather advanced subject in Mathematics.

2) Ragdoll is impractical in Flash. It consumes way too much CPU.

Point of topic is...?

^Well, aren't those "swiggly flaying lines" done by FBF? :/

Ok, I STILL can't solve problem. I tried using localToGlobal, but it just won't work. The Handgun is contained inside the Arm, which is what I rotate while aiming. Trouble is, the _x value of Handgun DOESN'T change when I rotate the Arm, so the _x and _y values remain the same. :(

Am I really screwed all over

Code for bullet:
onClipEvent (load) {
something = new Object();
something.x = _root.mcPlayer.mcPlayer_HandgunAim.mcHandgunA im_Arm.mcHandgun._x;
something.y = _root.mcPlayer.mcPlayer_HandgunAim.mcHandgunA im_Arm.mcHandgun._y;
something._rotation = _root.mcPlayer.mcPlayer_HandgunAim.mcHandgunA im_Arm.mcHandgun._rotation;
localToGlobal(something);

if (_name == "mcPistol_Bullet") {
_visible = false;
}

spd = 20;
this._x = something._x;;
this._y = something._y;
this._rotation = something._rotation + 50;
}

controls:
Hold J to Aim, K to Shoot.

try this.swapDepth(somenumber) before removeMovieClip().

attachMovie()

if (!_currentframe >= number){
//addyourvariable
}

Manually. :( At least it saves CPU usage, although it really bloats up filesize. Make it JPG, sorry.

Convert your zombies into BMP format.

Use:
_root.onEnterFrame = function(){

Well, course you gotta declare the variable somewhere before that. >_>

I used Flash for my documentation of my machine problem in a computer science class. I have little experience with Powerpoint so I used Flash instead. And I only had 2 hours before deadline that time. Glad I finished it.

Just don't put too much stuff on stage. On my early days, I was doing an MGS3 flash, making the forest as detailed as I could. The swaying grass really lagged it.

Have you even installed Flash Player plugin?

lol IE

Well, I really don't have the habit of using frame labels for AS, but some suggestions:
- Try (') instead of (")
- Try using integers to indicate frame instead of frame label.

Can't see why it won't trace unless you had your names wrong.

Just read this:

Your inventory should be an array.

Don't get overexcited. You can't rush learning.

You shouldn't read AS tutorials. You need to comprehend them.

I've had way too much experience from that to even get fooled.

Set it to stream.

Put an option to shorten some animation.

Otherwise, looking great.

It's the same principle. The turret is your guy's arm that spins around. -_- You just need to change the _xscale depending on the angle of your guy's arm.

I feel like the dumbest person in the world.

Too much AS2 threads. >_<

I've seen something similar before. Some guy made an audio visualization in AS3 that he'll likely use for his Rock Out contest entry, but I forgot the name of the thread.

I really don't get your problem. Naturally, it shouldn't appear if it's outside the stage, but I think I'm missing something.
