Ok, I have a question that wasn't answered here.
I know how to tween, but how do I make just one single part of a symbol move smoothly without looking like its "popping" back and forth? I tried completely breaking apart and just moving that part but it looks like its just appearing and disappearing.

In order to make a movement tween work correctly, you have to make the object a group or symbol, it has to be on a layer by it's self, and there has to be a copy of it in the end-tween keyframe.

Does that answer your question?

I searched the front page of the help forum and didn't see an answer, so I'm going to ask it myself: constraints. How do I set up walls that IamGod's guy has to walk around?

There's a perfect example of what I want to do that came with FlashMX under Samples/FLA/Maze.fla. Sadly, I can't seem to find the actionscript in it.

Not really, so if I want seperate parts of a picture to move, I should, instead of making the entire drawing a symbol, just make each part a symbol??? Like the leg the arm the foot all seperate??

Look in the FLA file again... look at the actions attached to the maze boundaries.

*bump*

to tell you the truth, this whole thing is in the hierarchy of flash tutorial i made. u c, make a tween of a guy going across the stage. make sure it is a symbol, most likely a graphic. Then, double click the symbol or right-click edit in place. on that timeline, make a little frame by frame animation of the guy walking in place. that is how to do it. if u need me to make an example, e-mail me or talk to me on aim or msn, my info is in my bbs signature.

all u have to do is specify the x and y coordinates or your boundaries. here is an example of boundaries where y<=235, _y>=375, x<=90, and x>=460 on all of the certain keypresses. put this script in your movieclip.

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (Key.isDown(Key.UP)) && this._y<=235) {
this._y = 235;
}
if (Key.isDown(Key.DOWN)) && this._y>=375) {
this._y = 375;
}
if (Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)) && this._x<=90) {
this._x = 90;
}
if (Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)) && this._x>=460) {
this._x = 460;
}
}

questions, anyone, anyone?

How do you make a score. Like when you hit a place on the target it gives u a 100 points or something. Just a number score

Hey Iamgod666,

How would you make it in a flash game so when a MC (ie a car ) moved over it would play a death animation? All I need is the action script code.Any help would be most apreciated.

Shit,what I meant was this: "How would you make it in a flash game so when a MC (ie a car ) moved over a pedestrain MC it would play a death animation? All I need is the action script code.Any help would be most apreciated."

Ok this is a Question, how do you know what to set your Boundarys? I don't get that part. I understand the X and Y axis now but still i don't understand how you get the boundarys well atleast the values of it.

Use variables. Make a Dynamic Text box at the begining and label it Score or something. Now in the thing you want to "hit" place these actions:

onClipEvent (load) {
points = 10;
}

Now put an action where if the Gun or whatever it is, hits it, the points will add up to the score so an action would be

onClipEvent (enterFrame)
{if (this.hitTest(MC, true))
_root.score + points;
}

That might work. I dunno try it out and see.

if(this.hitTest(_root.MC)) {
_root.gotoAndPlay("death");
}

Alright, make sure you lablel the frames "death" or something like that.

The thread "Look At This" by Fargate. It has alot of good info, but it doesn't have all that you need to make a good game. If you have anymore questions, just ask.

how do you import a pic with a transparent background into flash without that annoying white box showing up around it?

Either making sure the picture itself has transparency (GIF or PNG images) or masking out what you don't need in Flash

iMgod666 You rule. i used swish for a while but then my trial ran out so i needed to re-learn to use flash and those tutorial site u gave help me out alot. thanx.

Here's the situation: I have a stationary enemy that fires a laser beam in different directions. I want the beam to expand from his gun to the end of the screen before disappearing. When he shoots the laser at an angle, I need to rotate the laser to match the angle. The laser is a MC that contains a tween that increases it's width until it's larger enough to go outside the screen. But when I rotate the laser MC, the player still gets hit when he's no where near the laser because of the MC's bounding box thing. Is there any way I could make the hitTest more accurate, or am I screwed anally?
