Update to flash project...

[JJMAJR]

Okay, now I got everything stable, I wanted to make this game have save/load features.

Unfortunately, I am having a problem with putting the game into a saving/loading shell I developed earlier. It no longer recognizes mouse click events or something, so I don't know how to fix this.

Here is the functioning game, without save/load...

Here's the broken, corrupt one which doesn't do jack...

All I wanted to do was make players able to save and load the game, with multiple files. I didn't even do highscores or defeat conditions yet.

EDIT: Can't make hyperlinks. Great.

You can, you just need to write out the HTML to produce the anchor element (the BBS won't automatically parse URIs). Alternatively, you can just press the "link" button above the post text box that will generate the HTML for you.

As for the problem: I can't say; I don't have the version of Adobe Flash you used to create the FLA file so I can't open it. Is it possible for you to post just the code here?

Ooh... not right now, maybe on Monday since I can't access the code as of this moment.

Also, I used the tools I had available and even did the HTML code myself, and it still didn't work out.

Well, the only times I get this type of error is because I did not include:

import flash.events.MouseEvent;

Did you have that already?

That's very strange and not something I've ever heard of happening on here before. I did do a test with your URIs, though, and it also didn't work for me; seems to be something about the TinyURL domain or something. I'll let @liljim know about the problem.

And, as Hacsev pointed out, the problem is that the MouseEvent class hasn't been included. As for why it worked before but doesn't now: I can't say; I don't ever code using the Adobe Flash IDE because it's very wonky and cumbersome. (Not that I really ever code AS3 anymore, anyway.)

I'll try that tomorrow.

Well, you're getting a runtime error now, instead of the compiler errors you were getting before, so that's some progress. That error means that somewhere you're trying to use an object that hasn't been instantiated. Run the SWF with the debugger, and it should tell you specifically which line of code is causing the runtime error.
