AHA! [what simple code, i clearly wasn't thinking.]
Thank you! XD

I understand how to use the Subject but how would I use the frame LOADED otherwise?
For instance, how would I say, if the root time line goes though the frame LOADED then a Movie Clip named Player goes to the next frame.

Does anyone know how I would code for this in AS?

So does anyone have any suggestions? If you need I could show what I have.

If you have a movieclip inside a movieclip, then you can simply put all the code on the parent clip and access the child clip through the instance variable you made of the child clip.

How exactly would I do that?
I have a frame inside a Movie Clip with the instance name "Shoot", the frame is named "Fire" and it is inside of the parent Movie Clip named "Enemy". The code I put on "Enemy" is

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (_root.enemy.shoot="fire") {
_root.life.nextFrame();
}
}

When the beginning of the "Enemy"'s frame shows the "life" Movie Clip plays the whole way through and then dies. And yes there is a stop(); code on the first frame of "life".

if your worried about people stealing code and not going to post it all then we can't help

Alright, but that is the whole code on the frame. I don't have anything else in that Movie Clip, I have it a bunch of other places but none of that should be interfering with it. I am pretty that AS inside of two Movie Clips is just impossibly buggy.

how about posting the code on the enem or gunfire where ever it takes you back then we might be able to help :)

onEnterFrame = function () {
_root.life.nextFrame();
};

life is the instance name of the health bar by the way

To be more specific I have an enemy that is a Movie Clip and his gunfire is a Movie Clip on the inside and I need, when the frame of fire is played, the health bar to drop to the next frame.

I am making a game and I have this bug where a Movie Clip inside of another Movie Clip is making a Movie Clip on the Root time line go to the next frame. Any suggestions either than moving the Movie Clip on the inside to the outside?

Here is my script:
if ((_root.player.hitTest(_root.leftwall)) and (@@@@@)) {
earth._x += speed;
}
If there is a script that I could put where the "@@@@@" is that says that my movieclip is on a particular frame (the frame is named "left") I would appreciate if someone could help me.

So I've been looking for a while and I can't quite find anywhere that there is help on artificial intelligence for a game code... The Best I've found is to just have the enemy follow the player around... Any help?

What should I do to make my tagline piture thing look better?

This right below here:

Uh, I really don't get it... If you think that this is easy stuff, could you (or anyone else 4 that matter) help me with the code for it??

:Plese...

Thank you very much, I'll try that sin wave thing, I can't get the tweens right in him... I wish if I got the head to move, that Flash would grow a brain and say, "Hey, his body and tail should follow." and it would be kind onough to do it for me... but until then...

I have a character that has a long thin tail, and I need for it to move/wave very fluidy and smooth, but I can't find an easy way to just wave on a repetative movie clip. Does anyone know how to make very smooth, fluid, wavy movement?

would be very much appreciative,
Zaxbro

Could I get someones oppinion on this picure of a mime I have tried to draw? it's just the face, like a mask you know, but something about it looks wrong, any suggestions?:

Thank you so much! You won't regret helping me... =)

Does andyone here know the code that I need? I want to have a draggable button (i have that alread) that will go onto a point and when it is over that point i want it to go to the next frame does everyone understand? you drag a key onto a door and when it is on the door, the dorr opens on the next frmae... what's the code?

But let it confuse you from the first one cuz all I did was resize the gun/arm and make the laser more free.

Are you sure you went into the movie clip and went to the last frame of him firing, and added the code to the frame? because taht looks like it fires faster...

Where do i put the 'true' variable? if this is the code for the gun:

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
_x = _root._xmouse;
}
onClipEvent (mouseup) {
play();
}

I know what your problem is, on your MC, go to the last frame, go to the actionshipt box and press: Esc, s, t and that should add a code to it like stop() I think, or you could just ype that in, but Esc s t i think is easier... but try it and let me see your results

Yea, the sprite and background you used looked good, but the part were you added didn't quite fit in with the colors, I mean I'm not a chick so I don't kow what "matches" but I would have gone with a little more lighter color. I did find humor that it looked like a tetris thing, that's pretty original... So, you did really good on the "animating" part, just try to improve on the drawing and stuff, then you'll be fine...

Oh and one more thing, MegaMan bounced kinda quickly, try to add a couple more frame to him, or he'll look like he's haveing spasms every second...

I think the idea of it is kinda odd, but hey! People thought that Einstien (how ever you spell his name) was a bit odd, and lok how famous he is, i mean come on, I know who he is, so I would go for it, and of 'course I'm gunna help, lol! (because I know where you live... I'm watching you right now.___.___. lol, nah but i do know where you live...)

Dude, I didn't steal it, I have saved it as a .fla but I added to it, and I saved it as a .swf, like i said, because it somehow just became a habit. Oh and the fact that I was still working on it at 3 last this morning!!!

yeah, i know...

Okay, here's the problem, I am making a game, and when I save it I usually save it as a .swf and i don't know why, it has just become a habit I guess. And I need to be able to break it back down to a .fla so that I can finish it. Does anyone know how I can do that?

this is very true, but actually they don't use tweens a whole lot, they mostly use frame by frame, and if you are not aware of what that is: it is where you draw something (a stick figure in this case) and add another keyframe, change it a little bit, in the way taht you want it to move, and eventually you will have it althe way there if you keep repeating that... {you understood that right?}

oh, i forgot to add, the actual shooting part isn't done yet, i kknow i know, what a ame game if there is no shooting yet, well I am more worried about the binocular part right now, so when you hve the option of view or action, go with iew, see what is wrong with it and try to help me fix it by giving a me a code please... and other suggestions are open too!

What do you think? and tell me if there is any bugs please!

DANG IT! I tried making the size of the file a little smaller but it went from 5.6 mgs, to 10.4mgs!!!! How can I make it smaller?!?!?

They're not serious... they guessed like they always do. When you host something on imageshack.us, you should get this code thing, post that code here.

I tried but no such luck, idk maybe it is bigger than 1.5 megs, how can I found out the size of it?
