AS2 noob question...

[Pippatchu]

What i want to do is when i click it comes out bullets where ever i aim.
im gonna do that by putting in frame:

new MovieClip (_root.Bullet)
onMouseDown = function() {
add MovieClip (_root.Bullet){
_root.Bullet.moveTo(_xmouse,_ymouse)
}
}

But it seems im doing something wrong.
i have a bullet movieclip in library but not on stage.
Linkage = Bullet
Any help?

What language is this?
Check out Actionscript 1,2 or3.

[Pippatchu]

Read the title. actionscript 2 .

That, my friend, was not actionscript 2. At least try and stick to the language you want to use.

new MovieClip (_root.Bullet)
onMouseDown = function() {
add MovieClip (_root.Bullet){
_root.Bullet.moveTo(_xmouse,_ymouse)
}
}

wtf that is psudeo code if anything, dunno where he got that from

[Afro-Ninja]

onMouseDown = function() {
var myBullet:MovieClip = attachMovie("Bullet");
myBullet._x=_xmouse;
myBullet._y=_ymouse;
}

or something along those lines, I didn't test it out.

where did you get this 'add MovieClip{}' syntax from?
and moveTo is for the drawing api, not positioning. Did you browse the reference manual looking for code segments that might randomly apply to what you want to do?

[StaliN98]

onMouseDown = function() {
var newMc:MovieClip = this.attachMovie( "Bullet", "", this.getNextHighestDepth());
newMc._x = _xmouse;
newMc._y = _ymouse;
}
}

That should work better although I am tired and I'm used to AS3 so I dunno

Damn, ninja'd. What he said.

yours actually works though, I forgot the extra params for attachMovie ;)

For one, you need to use better syntax. I haven't used flash for a month or so, but I've been doing PHP and just forgetting to add a semi-colon at the end can screw up your code.
