Reviews for Fishy Tutorial!

[Farplane]

Thank you so much!

This was perfect! I'm not really one of those who want to understand everything, I just want it period. Everything worked as it should, it took about 5 minutes to make, and thanks to you I can play one of my favorite games even when the internets down!
I only have one question, I want to edit the fish so they make bubbles every now and then, but when I do it makes the bubble part of the movieclip, in other words if the bubble touches the enemy it gets eaten, anyway to fix this? Or it might be because I have the bubble and fish on one layer, I dunno.

Ah, you need to use attachMovie. Something like this...

bubbleTimer = 0;
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("b ubbles", -1);
bubbles.z = 0;
bubbles.onEnterFrame = function () {
bubbleTimer++;
if (bubbleTimer>=3) {
bubbleTimer = 0;
this.attachMovie("bubble", "bubble"+this.z, this.z++, {_x:fish._x+fish._width/2, _y:fish._y});
}
for (b in this) {
bu = this[b];
bu._y-=2;
bu._x-=Math.random();
}
};

If you don't understand it, run a Google search for attachMovie() or something. :)

Loved it, Help on the Background

I loved your tutorial! It was short and to the point, not that i don't like long ones. One tiny problem, the background. I did everything right but now I want to make some extra frames so I can have harder levels, But I can't copy the background to the other frames. Help, please?

VENGEANCE-GGG responds:

Put the background onto its own individual layer, and add frames to the keyframe it's in.

The game at the end was great!
And i realised that you only got games...
Maybe you should make a movie!

I've spent about 4 years learning to script - it would be a real shame for me to have to go back to animations.
