suggestions:

1)draw a launcher
2)fireworks always shoot from the center to the place the mouse is pointing at
3)add a costume aim instead of the mouse.

We should do a game collaberation whereby everyone adds 1 function or something...

Or is that what you are doing here?

I dunno...

Forget I said anything

Ok, can you do a random rock shape that is generated every 10 seconds?

that's just an interval and 5 lineTos, you can do that faster then you can copy-paste it...

But can I?

Ok, I can.

¬¬

the fireworks arent fireworky enough you should expand the radius and have a little bit of gravity so the result falls after it detonates

which version are you talking about? you realise that radius and gravity are both variables you can change, right?

Flash MX 2004 pro, I'm in intermedate script so i'm following barley but yea i know gravity and radius are varibels thats why i said add them when the fireworks detonate its in this small square real fireworks go randomly and fall before they fade out you should either draw up a bunch of paths or get a radom path generator

now i dont know which type of fireworks your going for but the orginal kind go in the kind of palm tree path

you still haven't stated what ver you're talking about, the last one?

Actually,I'm not satisfied with this code,I wanted it to be worse and look more idiotic : /

changed it to

onMouseDown = function()
{
MakeFunPLZ();

fun.moveTo(_xmouse,_ymouse);
fun.lineTo(1000,1000);
}

now it works, still isn't very good :P

if you copied and pasted it from here its because the length of the lines on the BBS is less then the ones in the actions panel meaning breaks are put in places where they are not supposed to be. Dont worry there should'nt be too many just have a quick scan through

If Denvish wouldn't mind, I was using his code, and just by changing a few values around, I made pretty much a confetti gun... When you first click it fires really flast but the it slows down and drifts like smoke a bit. May I post the dited code?

of course you may, all mods appreciated

amazing!

The bottom one really forces it, but it's kind of interesting anyways.

it's nice but it's kinda unbalanced if you know what I mean

Yeah, see, I'm terrible at editing actionscript, if you told me to make a sustom cursor I'd run away. :(

Heh. Just keep practicing. i never took any lessons or stuff, most of the stuff I know is learnt by the same method you're using: playing with public flas/code (and the occasional tutorial/reference to the Flash help files & AS Dictionary). So long as you're willing to learn, you're sorted.

As for the last fireworks script posted (by -liam-): I like the background and the rocket, but I think the particles should be smaller, more glittery, and have gravity take effect earlier. The gravity seems to 'pause' before it takes effect, which is not what happens with real fireworks; the particles start being affected by gravity as soon as they are expelled from the rocket. I'd analyse the code myself, but I'm a little busy with a couple of other API projects right now.

Hey I am completly new at api (as a matter of fact I just started scripting in it yesterday, and I am really enjoying it)

well anyway I made three scripts:

script1 (circle fireworks):

w = Stage.width;
h = Stage.height;
z = 100;
f = 100;
t = 100;
rocketsize = 2;
onEnterFrame = function () {
rot = random(100);
};
C1 = new Array("0xC2053F", "0xF817F9", "0x175BF9", "0xE70C4E", "0xFFCC33", "0xFC4554");

beginFill(0xFFFFFF);
moveTo(0, -rock);
curveTo(rock*1, 0, 0, rock);
curveTo(-rock*1, 0, 0, -rock);
endFill();
}
}
function makebackground() {
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("back", 1);
with (back) {
beginFill(0x000000, 100);
moveTo(0, 0);
lineTo(w, 0);
lineTo(w, h);
lineTo(0, h);
lineTo(0, 0);
endFill();
}
back.onPress = function() {
f += t+10;
for (z=f; z<(f+t); z++) {
duplicateMovieClip("rocket", "rocket"+z, z);
_root["rocket"+z]._x = _root._xmouse;

very nice scripting/modding :) I am impressed, you have a bright future, gimme a ring

I would mod this a bit, but right now I haven't got any time

wow, these are all very amusing. ^_^

How bout one that alternates fireworks?

It seems like a nice script and all, but like when I usually use scripts from threads, I always get errors, despite how other people have got on fine. This is what I get when check the syntax:

**Error** Scene=Scene 1, layer=Layer 1, frame=1:Line 78: ')' or ',' expected
er, _root.counter);

**Error** Scene=Scene 1, layer=Layer 1, frame=1:Line 81: Unexpected '}' encountered
};

I could really use this API for my next Flash, so if anyone could help, it would be appreciated, I even tried editing it myself, but it made sense and everything to me, so I got nothing. :(
