NOTICE: If you're using Flash 9 or better, switch to ActionScript 2!

This tutorial is NOT for somebody who doesn't undertsand flash; I'm telling you that right now. However, even the most basic of people could follow along, it's fairly simple. This tutorial is for people who are trying to get into action script, and it teaches them how to use it in a small way as well as put it in the form of a short, fun game. Before you ask for help, make sure you know what you're doing. I've gotten questions like, "How do I put the script in the movie clip?" - Answer: 'Seriously.'

"Good tutorial, one small issue I had"

date: April 28, 2008

Great tutorial.

I had some major issues... basically nothing worked except the stop action.

My problem turned out to be I was set to use ActionScript3(default for CS3), while all the code in this is ActionScript2. I would recommend a note(in the author's comments on the site, or a mention on the opening screen fo the tutorial) such as "All code is in ActionScript2, if using Flash CS3, make sure to change the default". A note like that would have gotten this a 9 from me, possibly a 10.

Alternately, updating it to be in ActionScript 3 would work as well, but thats a job probably more suited to a new tutorial rather than a revision of this one.

A bit about using Sprites would be nice too, rather than just the passing mention they got, though that may be worth it's own tutorial. I managed to dig something up on youtube that got me through that though so it's not a huge deal.

Overall though, great tutorial, once I sorted out the ActionScript version issue I found it to be perfectly targeted to a complete flash noob, though other programming experience I've had I'm sure helped.

Sorry dude, CS3 is kinda different. You should be able to tell what I'm talking about, but a lot have stuff changed like _root and variables and movie clips.

...Are you moving him with the Directional Arrowheads? That's not very straight forward, but I think your problem is following directions.

"Amazing"

date: March 22, 2008

Brilliant. every bit of it was informative and helpful. the movement part was the best, but the battling thing was really good. perhaps another tutorial could be about weaponry and an inventory system, something to add on to this. overall, 10/10.
