Awesome Game!
I like it for a first! Y'know I could never make this.... :)

This is my very first upload on Newgrounds and I will begin with my very first game. It's a quit simple matching game.
I have been learning AS3 by the book Flash games university. I usually makes some additions to the games to try my self.
I hope you enjoy this simple game.
NB. I do have one problem. The loading screen. I use Event.ENTER_FRAME, the problem is that it's linkage on the sound files which has to load to first frame so I load them to the AS3 files. And the loader wont start until the first frame objects have been loaded.
Was the point of a preloader if it wont load before the file is loaded ;)
I can't use the new grounds preloaders since they are action script 2.0.
Decent Game, but
There is a problem with the game. I realized you can click on the cards to see what they are, but then click them again to flip them back over without losing points. I think I know how you can fix this problem:
If the card flip is done by using actions that are based on something like, on (release) {this.play();}, you can fix the problem by making it say, on (release) { if (this._currentframe == 1) {this.play}}
If this is the solution to your problem, please PM me and tell me, just so I know that it worked.
I hope this is helpful!

Well, as this was my first game, I followed the teaching very correctly. The thing with the cards is not a problem, it's cheating ;) But I did think about removing it.
Thanks for noticing. Btw, the code you gave me would not do me any good. It's AS2 and my programming is AS3.
Pretty cool, actually.
Really nice game, especially as there's hardly any AS3 tutorials on the internet at the moment. ( effort to learn AS3 yourself) Well unless you did actually use a tutorial i don't know about, then that's embarrasing. Over all a nice wee game to pass some time.
To your little query, try searching "download AS3 flash preloader" or something similar into Google. then just edit the animation from the MC your given. also that will have the action script there that can answer the question to your actual Question.
Well done.

If you asking if I copy pasted this, is the answer no. I hand wrote it from my book. Why? Maybe sound crazy, but you learn a lot from it. First off all you go through the code step by step and learn what everything are(I been programming Java before this and got an A, so it was just learning the difference). When something go wrong you have to find the problem your self, and wow, you learn a lot from mistakes.
Tried that and as you said, hardly any tutorials on the net. I guess I have to ask an programmer. Strange that new grounds don't have a AS3 preloader yet.
Thanks for the comment!
Basic, but good
The best formula of any game, in my opinion, is starting off simple and becoming progressively harder throughout the game. Even though this starts off simple and doesn't really get harder, it's still a good game, a game that I would play to waste time. Graphics and sounds are nice and simple as well.
This is a really good start for you, and I can't wait til you release another game. Keep up the good work.

This was my first game and I really just wanted to move on and learn more. I'm doing a shooting game right now, and that will be get harder and harder and new levels. Actually making an Atari level just for fun ;)
Good for first game
It was good for a first upload.
Lack of preloader wasn't very good, but I'm sure you'll figure it out.
Game was nice, just a basic memory, but there didn't seem to be any glitches.
Artwork could've been nicer and music would have been appreciated.
Still, it's good.
stian7 responds:
It's a loading screen, the problem is that it only pop up for a millisecond. Why? Because the flash is not more then 20kb but the music files is about 200kb++
I'm using AS3 and I use Event.ENTER_FRAME, the problem is that it's linkage on the sound files which has to load to first frame so I load them to the AS3 files. And the loader wont start until the first frame objects have been loaded.
Was the point of a preloader if it wont load before the file is loaded ;)
Even my teacher had a headeach trying to fix this. We ended up making 2 fla files. One fla file for the game and then one fla for the preloader. The problem then is of course having 2 files insted of 1.
Any help is welcome!
