OK buddy i know how this is done *ahem* first you need two frames in a flash with:

stop();

And frame 2:

stop();
stopAllSounds();

So that the sound stops then.

on each of them.Then your button in both and on the button on frame 1:

on(release){
gotoAndPlay(2);
}

Frame 2:

on(release){
gotoAndPlay(1);
}

So it changes button (sound on/off whatever). And on the first frame you put the audio (sync: Event)

This is a way i made up but i hope someone posts a simple way because this can only be used as a flash on its own =(

Okay is there a certain script to make a menu? i can't seem to create one is it hard or am i just a complete dumbass...

is there a way to make the ctrl key disable after like 1 sec, so my players on this game im making cant just hold down control and kill everything.
In addition, is there a way to make an object randomly fall in different places. thx

may come in handy.

p.s Yes i used SEARCH.

make a white circle. convert it to a movie clip and call it "circle". now make another movie clip and call it "fadecircle". animate it as a circle fading out or whatever. in the last frame of the "fadecircle" clip, put the following script:

this.removeMovieClip();

now drag the "fadecircle" out onto the stage and give it the instance name "fadecircle". now drag the first "circle" out onto the stage and add this script to its actions:

onClipEvent (load) {
a = 1;
this.startDrag(true);
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
duplicateMovieClip(_root.fadecircle, "fadecircle"+a, a);
_root["fadecircle"+a]._x = this._x;
_root["fadecircle"+a]._y = this._y;
a += 1;
}

and that should work. simple, but its a start

...its probably simple but iv never realy used functions

the reason it runs slow is because you have multiple movie clips with "for" loops that test for conditions 99 times at a time. lets say you have 5 movie clips, with a frame rate of 20. the flash player calculations would be:

99 (for loop tests) x 5 (movie clips) x 20 (frame rate) = 9900 calculations per second

and that is not including everything else you have going on in the scripts, graphics, sounds, whatever. i suggest trying to lower the loop conditions by a lot. if you can, try to get it from 99 to something like 20. that would get you down to 2000 calculations a second which actually runs a lot faster.

thanks
i'm yet to test it but i'm think your right

what you 1st need is the button you want the person to walk onto to be a movie clip and the person a movie clip then you give the button that is now a movie clip an instance of "button"
then you put these actions in the man....
onClipEvent(enterFrame)
{if (this.hitTest( _root.button) ){_root.play();}

Ive got a script for a ball to bounce around the screen. The script goes in a Movie Clip called 'Ball':

onClipEvent(load){

xspeed = random(5)+5;
yspeed = random(5)+5;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame){

this._x += xspeed;
this._y += yspeed;

if (this._x > 540){
xspeed *= -1;
}
if (this._y > 390){
yspeed *= -1;
}

if (this._x < 10){
xspeed *= -1;
}

if (this._y < 10){
yspeed *= -1;
}
}

Now, I need to make it bounce off a Movie Clip named 'pad' and destroy other Movie Clips called 'block'

Can someone please help???

well you won't use a button in this case. you would need a movie clip that looks like a button. so for the entire thing, you need 2 movie clips:

1) Button clip
2) Person clip

im sure you have the ability to find whatever you are looking for to make your person walk, then you would put this in the actions for the "button":

onClipEvent(enterFrame){
if(this.hitTest(person_instance_name){
tellTarget(_root){
play();
}
}
}

you might have to tweak with it but it should work.

First of all what is a platformer?

Secondly how do u make it so like when something jumps up when its comes down and hits like a log in the middle of the air he lands and stays on it?

well for the pad, you need to have a code in it that just reverses the direction of the ball. if the pad is at the bottom of the screen, you might have a code like:

onClipEvent(enterFrame){
if(this.hitTest(_root.ball)){
_root.ball..yspeed = _root.ball.yspeed * -1;
_root.ball._y -= 5;
}
}

the this._y -= 5; is there to move the ball away from the pad a little so it doesnt keep changing direction.

as for the blocks, you should make the blocks a move clip a few frames long. have an exploding animation or something and in the last frame, delete everything so there is no block. then drag your blocks out and add the following script:

onClipEvent(load){
this.stop();
}
onClipEvent(enterFrame){
if(this.hitTest(_root.ball)){
_root.ball.yspeed = _root.ball.yspeed * -1;
_root.ball._y += 5;
this.play();
}
}

you definetley have to play around with the scripts though because you have to figure in that the balls might hit the sides of the blocks, in which case i suggest you make your blocks multiple movie clips inside one movie clip and then add scripts that will change the ball speed depending on how it is traveling.

well i hope that helps a little bit. there are some flaws in it but it is a start.

please help anyone. ive allready looked through 30 pages of this thread witch took me about 2 hours because i was testing some of the different scripts. but anyway i need some help.
i have a bunch of (assumingly easy) questions so i numbered them to make it easy for people who can only answer one or two of them.

1.) I have a guy, he is an mc and inside of him is another one of him wwalking left in the first frame and antother of him walking right in the second frame. (i dont need him to go up or down)

but how do i make it so that when i hit right, it makes him walk and what not.

2.) also i need some help where when he walks to the right he walks forever and i want him only to be able to walk the the edge of the screen.

3.) also how do i make it so that when i hit space he does the animation of him attacking and where should i put the animation of him attacking.
right now i have it as another movie clip inside of the first movie clip.

4.) also how do i make it so that people will come in and when i swing and im close enough to them it will hit them?

Second post down. Read it. Then consider this.

hey one question. what code can be used to detect if no key is pressed. Like if you're pressing left on your keyboard to move a character and sudenly you release it. Thanks :)

if(!Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)){
//do something
}

if you have an exlaimation mark before a condition, it means; if the condition ISNT happening.

Excellent i love u guys not literally of course <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<3333333333333333333333333333

how do u make a movieclip go to another frame thats inside it when you press the right key?And when you press the down key it goes to another frame, and also one more if you press the enter key it will go to the next scene?

onClipEvent(enterFrame)
if(Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT);) {
this.gotoAndStop(0);
}
}

set the number in (); to chose the frame to go to

I am making a question and answer game and I need to know how to make the game start over after the player has made three or more wrong answers. Actually it would be best if I had a way to keep track of the answers.

ok i have no good i dea at the moment but make an MC with a counter:
first frame write in the number 0
second frame write in: 1
third frame write in: 2
fourth frame write in: 3
fifth frame don't write anything but set a:
_root.gotoAndStop(FRAMENUMBER);

change FRAMENUMMBER to the frame in the main timeline where you wan't it to go if the 3 wrong answers

click on the MC in the main timeline and open propertise panel and label the mc: bad as instance name

the buttons with wrong answers:
on(release)
{
gotoAndPlay(NEXTQUIZFRAME);
_root.bad.nextFrame();
}

set NEXTQUIZFRAME to the number of frame the next question is on

wow recently dicowerd that eviludy is now

_Zer0_ or is it _ZerO_
