this.onEnterFrame = function(0{
//your code here
}

onClipEvent() is only intended for coding on movieclips.

Did you type the code on the timeline?

Something like this:

var myArray:Array = new Array("box", "circle");
_root.attachMovie(myArray[0], "lol", _root.getNextHighestDepth(), {_x:100, y:100});

You're basically just storing the the linkage names of your MCs here.

if (this.Health=this.Maxhealth) {

"==" Compares two values
"=" Assigns a value

How would I make an Anime out of a flash?

Just... put a lot of effort in drawing? Anime lining style is pretty simple and easy, because they're mostly basic straights and curves, plus it's a "limited animation", so Line Tool (key N) would be your main weapon unless you had a tablet. I've drawn L using only Flash, but I'm not interested at all in anything Zelda, but that should give you the idea that you can draw things in Flash that can look like anime you see on TV.

Shameless self-praise. Someone flame me. >:D

And that came... from the Newgrounds tutorials page.

So it shouldn't be hardcore, right?

You can adjust the quality settings.

File > Publish Settings > Flash tab > JPEG Quality slider. It defaults at 80.

What do you mean by "hardcore"?

If you mean you have another MC inside the frame 2 of your MC, then you have to tell that MC to play as well. Something like this.anotherMC.play().

But if you mean you have an animation starting at frame 2, but do not have any other MC inside, you need this.gotoAndPlay(2), not this.gotoAndStop(2).

Huh... recursion? Can you post your whole code?

if(Key.isDown(Key.SPACE)){
     var newDepth:Number = _root.getNextHighestDepth();
     _root.attachMovie("enemy","e"+newDepth, newDepth, {_y:200, _x:100});
}

$0.

Hoping to fix that by January. :O

Not that impressed with the box falling particle thing, pretty quick and easy to achieve the same thing.

The thing that was impressive about the previous link is the city lighting up thing, but apart from that...

Try tracing kills, and put a trace function to trace anything inside to see if the condition is actually met.

Yes, that was why I couldn't bother typing a longer explanation, since I could be explaining something that he didn't want. >.>

on(release){
   _root.attachMovie("movieclip", "mc", _root.getNextHighestDepth(), {_x:100, _y:100});
}

100 bucks this won't work for him, even though it's perfectly okay.

I like the first symbol.
I can't appreciate the triangle one, dunno.
The eye one was just terrible. Needs redrawing.
The yinyang could do some cleaning (whites are exposed on the yinyang on the black side).

I guess you can manually take each frame and Trace Bitmap it. >____> But seeing as how much processing a single bitmap needs to be converted into a decent looking vector, and how much space it consumes anyway... kinda not practical.

What's "load ermc"?

Just... take a picture of a gradiented wave then tween it by playing around with the freeform tool (key Q)? Tried it for a few seconds, not sure if it's convincing enough. There isn't a way to curve a gradient in Flash anyway, so you'd have to do that with a separate image editor then import it.

And it's called the XMB theme (Xross Media Bar).

Well, try this:

for (var i = 0; i<=1; i++) {
// ...
enemy.onEnterFrame = function() { ... }
}

Wouldn't the instance name "enemy" be lost after the for() loop terminates, so you can't really add a function to "enemy" after the for loop? Not to mention your other vars like xvel. You could refer to "dEnemy"+i, I think, like _root["dEnemy"+i].onEnterFrame = function(){}.

Not sure on this since I've never tried creating an empty movie clip. >_>

What kind of "boxes" are we talking about? Code, visual representation or both?

It keeps on running because you never told it to stop. You can do either of the two:
a) Modify your code by adding a boolean ("true"/"false") that checks whether it should still be playing or not.

b) On the game over keyframe, use this code:

onEnterFrame = function(){}

Bookmarking this topic. We just started doing some networking projects in our class using Java (local only), and I'm really enjoying it.

Also, am I right to assume I can't use IP Address/Socket, so that I can create a server SWF and client SWF? Like, I'll run the server SWF, then send the client SWF to a friend so we could communicate through SWFs? I hope we could, seeing as how you mentioned we can use URLs. :(

Or could someone tell me what I should be using instead of this that's AS only?

see? i cant!

Or you're just too lazy and impatient, seeing as how there's only 2 hours between your last 2 posts.

Can't expect to learn how to make a game that you want in just 2 hours... or did you?

There IS depth.

It's like the order of how your MCs "stack" on top of each other. The higher the depth value, the "higher" it is placed. So if Object A has a depth of 500 and Object B has a depth of 1000, B is placed above A.

Only one MC can be placed in a a depth level. Depth ranges from -16536 something to some million values I forgot. _root.getNextHighestDepth() automatically retrieves the higehest positive depth for you.

attachMovie(libName, stageName, depth, {values});

Like

_root.attachMovie("libEnemy", "mcEnemy", _root.getNextHighestDepth, {_x: 100, _y: 100, _rotation: 100});

Well, no, if you still have the same amount of soldiers on-screen there's no difference.

The thing is that with attachMovie(), you can have dynamic displays of MCs on the stage. Lots of things are just easier to code than to have to animate.
