Flash Game Help The Game Runs Too Slow In A Browser
lo there!
I'am so frustrated!

I have made a plattformgame in flash, and after I had published it I tested it (local) when it was embedded in a browser, and it hacks and laggs! But when I play it in the flash player it works just fine.
What should I do?

I removed all the heavy graphics, lowerd the fps to 30fps and removed all the code so now its just the bassis left (gravity, collision, key checking etc. and yes u should bounce on the walls giving a wall jump effect).

Anyone please! I am in big need of help!
Is it my code? Did I publish it wrong?

here are the links:

[F8] Game Studio Needs Flash Game Programmer
Hi -

I've been working on cartoon Flash interfaces for awhile. Now my clients want games, so I'm looking for one or two Flash game actionscripters who can help out and maybe start a studio. Since it's a startup, I'm looking for someone who's good, but not yet making millions - hoping we can do that ourselves eventually. Someone dependable, easy-going and easy to get along with. Would be great to find someone relatively local, but not absolutely necessary.

We'll be creating custom Flash games for an existing client.

Hoping to check out people's games first.

Needs EXPERT Help: 1. Save Game For Replay, 2. Reset Game
I'm rather new to Action Script, but doing not bad. I have searched the Board, found a link to a tutorial on ActionScript[Org], titled: "save a local copy of file". But that was yet not clear enough for me.

2 Questions at the moment (files attached):

1. Save Game for Replay: How can I save the set to a file in the Same Folder so it could reload for further play from that point on?

2. Reset Game: How can I Reset the Game for a NEW Attemp? I need to remove all Actors at once, to start a new game, without closing this SWF and reopenning it.

If you'd be so kind as to explain very clearly, and add Action Script, taking into consideration that I still get confused by trying to deal with Arrays and so. I promise to study your lesson carefully - this GameTest attached is the fruit of this week studies.

THANKS A LOT

[F8] How Can I Make A Game With Levels And A Game That Restarts?
I know this sounds stupid, but I just can't figure it out. I need to make a platform game. I'm fine with making a points system and a scrolling background and it functions but I don't know how to get the player to touch an object, or reach a goal and then transport to another level...I don't want to make the user have to click something to go to a new level.

Also, when the character hits an enemy, I can make it die, but I don't know how to make a button or something appear saying 'Game Over - Try again', so they can pretty much restart the level.

Hopefully someone can help me.
Regards,
Andrea

Help With A Game.. Game Is Running Slow In Browser..
I am working on this game for work and for now all i have is placeholder art for the most part and nothing very heavy on the graphics end yet my game is running very slow.. i bumped the FPS to 60 since at 30 i was getting image tearing or a double vision effect.. the upped FPS fixed that but the game is still running very slow. To give you an idea of what's going on i have different intervals running so different things can happen at different times.. there are 2 constant onEnterframes for the 2 enemies flying around the screen.. there is 1 for the main loop, 1 for the character, 1 for whenever tickets generate which removes itself and deletes the enterframe when they disappear, 1 for the wrecks that occur on level 2 which also remove themselves and delete enterframes for themselves, and 1 for a holder that handles all the money flying in which removes themselves as they collide with the player or leave the screen. All enterframes that run during gameplay delete themselves at the end of each level and re-initialize at the beginning of the next.

I can't figure it out.. please take a look at the fla and html files attached. Could it be just the sheer size of the game screen.. should i make it about half the size?? I appreciate any help and thank you.

Also the game's scripted animations seem to be running a little choppy if you watch their movement closely like there is a little glitchy jump every second or so.. is this fixable?

Autorun A CD-R With Flash Exe Menu And Flash Exe Game Icons
Hi everybody, I'm wondering if anyone here has ever tried to do the following successfully.  When you buy a game for PC, after you insert the CD-ROM, it starts playing, a menu shows up, you can do stuff, and if you want, you can usually get back to that opening menu.  I would like to be able to do the same thing.  I apologize for the wordiness of this - it's kind of complicated ;) !

I use Flash MX.  I've made 4 games that I'd like to share with friends and family by burning them on a CD-R and mailing them.  To make sure everyone can see the games I will publish the games as EXE's (Flash Projector for Windows built in).   There will thus be 4 game exe's plus an "intro" exe, for a total of 5 flash exe's.

I want the CD-R to play soon as they pop it in the drive, so I will put an autorun file on the CD-R that points to the "intro" exe.   

The intro will display text saying "hi, here's the games.  To play a game, just click on the appropriate button!".  Below the text will be 4 buttons, one for each game.

Thus the contents of the CD-R will look like this:  2 files and one folder, namely:  the autorun.ini, the intro.exe and a folder labelled fscommand.  Within this folder will be:   game1.exe, game2.exe, game3.exe, and game4.exe.  For those who don't know, in FlashMX, if you want to use fscommand exec you have to put the applications in a subfolder called 'fscommand' that is in the same directory as the projector.  This is supposed to help prevent malicious use.

If, for example, someone clicks the 1st game button on the intro menu, game1,exe will run and game one will appear because on that button was scripted:

on(press){fscommand("exec","game1.exe")}

I have tested this out and it works fine.   The Problem:

What to do with the intro.exe still existing once game1.exe runs?   I could just get rid of it by scripting 'fscommand("quit")' when a person clicked on any of intro'exe's game buttons.  But then what happens when a person closes the game?  There would be nothing at all and it would be great if intro.exe was still there so they could then select another game to try.  Couldn't I just leave the intro menu 'open' while any game is playing since it isn't really doing anything except displaying the welcoming message and 4 buttons, right?   Is it alright to have more than one projector playing at once?

Or is there a way, when someone exits a game, for the intro exe to be run again?  There seems to be a dilemma.    To be able to use fscommand exec within a game to get the intro.exe going, the intro exe itself would have to be in the same folder as the game.exe itself, which is illogical since the games are already in a subfolder within the intro.exe's directory.   I suppose that all a person would have to do when they quit a game is just double click on the drive again to get the autorun going and then the intro exe would show up.

Does anyone know a way around this?  Also, is there a way, once autorun plays the intro exe, to allow someone to see the CD-R's contents, other than the person having to right click and select "open" to see what's on the CD-R?

Thanks in advance for any advice on this matter, much appreciated :) !

Flash Game
I have to redesign an old executable game into flash, but I've never really used flash before. Basically what the game entails is that an image of a train is shown, and once you click on a button, the train will move towards another image (a train station). The thing is, when the image of the train comes out the other side of the train station, it could've change colours. The user will then have to decide if the train was the same after it came out of the train station, before it came in. This goes on 4 times for just one train carraige, 4 times for two train carriages, all the way up to 4 times for 6 trains. The results have to be scored on a small scoreboard. This game just has to be functional. Can anyone help, or does anyone know who could do it for me? I have a copy of the executable file if anyone wants to like (it doesn't contain any virus)

Flash Game
A friend of mine and I are trying to design a flash game for a client. The flash game is supposed to allow users to manipulate the single strip you see at the top left of the attached picture. Using that indivdual block, users should be able to take that one strip and create such complex structures as you see at the bottom of the picture.

I am racking my brain trying to find a way to create this game. It would be good if there was a way to have this game in 3D. If such a game already exists if you can point me in the right direction.

If someone can do this in a relatively short time, I would be willing to pay for it. Let me know what price you would charge as well

Let me know.

Thanks

Looking For A Flash Game
Hello,

there is a famous game which works like this:
There is an image divided in several squares. One of the squares is empty, so it creates an empty space. So u can move around the squares until u can solve the puzzle and put all squares in the right position so u can form the image.

Do u know the name of this game?
Can someone indicate a flash example of this game?

Thank You,
Miguel

Help With Flash Game
Hey people,
I'm having some trouble with a game im creating. Being a multiple choice game, based on the game seen here. I want to have two result boxes. One for a response, and the other for the score that the person acquires with their guess, and keep that score onto the next scene. THEN, in the next scene, add it onto the score from the previous scene. Here's my code for one choice.


on (release) {
field1 = "WRONG! How Could You Be Such A Troglodyte?";
first1 = 0;
}


How would I type these actions in, and have them carry on through the game?

Thanks in advance.

AS Help For Flash Game
Hi all, I'm making an Elevator action type game, there are doors on the L+R which represent the stair cases (take you up/down one floor at a time) and an elevator in the middle (takes you up/down as many as desired). Anyways, I'm running into problems as how to handle moving between floors on the AS side.

There are 16 stairway doors and 8 elevator doors so checking conditions on the onClipEvent(enterFrame) in each door mc is out of the question, will take way too much processing. I've been trying to add a listenter that listens for when the character hits (hitTest) one of these doors... only problem is each door has a different instance name, Door1, Door2, Door3, (all instances of the root mc Door) is there a way to check for this on the character without something like... if(this.hitTest(_root.Door1 || _root.Door2 || etc.))?

function stairs(floor){
if(Key.isDown(Key.UP)){
floor++;
_root.Dude._x = _root["Door"+floor]._x;
_root.Dude._y = _root["Door"+floor]._y;}
else if(Key.isDown(Key.DOWN)){
floor--;
_root.Dude._x = _root["Door"+floor]._x;
_root.Dude._y = _root["Door"+floor]._y;}}

So when hitTest is true, it calls stairs and inputs current floor, BUT because it's if(Key.isDown) method, he will jump several floors because floor++ or floor-- is incrementing too quickly.

Any suggestions?

Help With Flash Game
Hi,

I've creating a flash memory game. The problem is, when it becomes game over, i want it so that they get a response depending on whether they have reached a specific score. Attached to the movie i have this code at the end:

gotoAndPlay("gameover");
initGame();

I have a variable called scoreDisplay, and i basically want to put in code along the lines of

If scoreDisplay > "30"
goto frame "gameover", play movieclip "gameover" in the frame labeled "more"
else
instead of more, go to frame labelled less,

anyone give me any tips as to how i'd actually write this?

Thanks very much.

My Flash Game
Hi my flash game is at:

http://henry.sandi.net/students/2007...st%20sem/games

the one im having problems with is spaceship, and was wonder if someone could download the fla and take a look at it, the only thing i was curious about was how to make a mc explosion for an enemy ship, show up where a different mc(the enemy's movement, not scripted). some of the enemy's explosion works because the mc's path is scripted and not drawn. so mainly just look at each level and tell me how to make to explosion show up where the enemy got shot.

---

Flash Game
hi i just had a question about my game
when i put the explosion MC in the enemy MC, it allows you to shoot it again before the explosion finishes then the exlposion starts all over(you can shoot the same ship multiple times) i was wondering if anyone knew of a script to fix this bug? the new game upload is at http://henry.sandi.net/students/200.../spaceship.html if you click the grey box it skips you to the lastest thing, metal tuxedo is the only ship working and if you use that ship that part of the game will represent the bug the best, just try hitting the ship(hold down spacebar and move you ship parrellel to the opponent.
P.S. that glitch works on all the levels but only when the opponent gets close because the other explosions are smaller and shorter in length

[F8] Help With A Flash Game
Hey, Im wanting to create a basic game to continue my learning with Flash 8. Now my idea is basically to have two movie clips, the first being a ball for example that randomly moves around the work space. The second movie clip would be moved by the up, down, left and right cursor keys on the keyboard. Once the second movie clip has collided with the ball I want a clock to detect and then display how long it has taken for the ball to have been touched with the second movie clip.

Im not entirely sure on how to get the collission detection and the random movement of the ball. If anyone could help or, point me in the direction of a nice tutorial i'd be super happy!

Thanks in advance!

Flash Game Help
Hi all,

Thanks for any help here. I have a piggy bank game I am trying to build. I need to be able to drag and drop multiple coins/dollars into the bank that add up to a random generated number. If the correct amount of change is put in you go to the next random number up to 20 times. My first problem is I can't figure out how to get multiple coins in the bank and add them together.

I have all my change on separate layers that are buttons inside movie clips. Here is the code I am using to for the penny object. Thanks for any help, looks like a great forum for newbies.

Using flash mx 2004 pro

on(press) {
var penny:Number = .01;
var pennyTotal:Number = .00;
startDrag(this);

}

on(release) {
stopDrag();
if (this._droptarget == "/target") {
pennyTotal = pennyTotal + .01;
_root.result = _root.result + _root.pennyTotal;
_root.result_txt.text = pennyTotal;
this._x = 115;

Flash Game Help
...
Alrighty, so i've made a fairly simple Rock Paper Scissors Game using a couple Scenes and Lots of if else Statements, but when i go to keep score the score gets multiplied, and i've found out why... i think. i'm using a simple

Key.addListener(this.Object);

and everytime i try to play the game over again, doesn't matter who wins, the score equals the round

Example: Player 1 wins three rounds in a Row, so the score is 3-0, but if Player 2 wins the next round, the Score all of the Sudden becomes 3-4 in Player 2's favor.

or Player 1 wins first Score 1-0
Player 2 wins second Score 1-2

The Score seems to go up in increments : 1,3,6,10,15

Here is where the code is going wrong:


Code:
Mario = new Object();
Mario.onKeyDown = function() {
if (Key.isDown(65)) {
guy1_txt.text="Pressed";
Rock1=1;
if(Rock1==1 && Rock2==1){
answer_txt.text="Tied";
gotoAndPlay("exitb1r2");
}else if(Rock1==1 && Scissors2==1){
answer_txt.text="Player 1 Wins";
gotoAndPlay("exitb1r2");
Score1 +=1;
}else if(Rock1==1 && Paper2==1){
answer_txt.text="Player 2 Wins";
Score2 +=1;
gotoAndPlay("exitb1r2");
}

}else if (Key.isDown(83)) {
guy1_txt.text="Pressed";
Paper1=1;
if(Paper1==1 && Paper2==1){
answer_txt.text="Tied";
gotoAndPlay("exitb1r2");
}else if(Paper1==1 && Scissors2==1){
answer_txt.text="Player 2 Wins";
gotoAndPlay("exitb1r2");
Score2+=1;
}else if(Paper1==1 && Rock2==1){
answer_txt.text="Player 1 Wins";
gotoAndPlay("exitb1r2");
Score1+=1;
}

}else if (Key.isDown(68)) {
guy1_txt.text="Pressed";
Scissors1=1;
if(Scissors1==1 && Scissors2==1){
answer_txt.text="Tied";
gotoAndPlay("exitb1r2");
}else if(Scissors1==1 && Paper2==1){
answer_txt.text="Player 1 Wins";
gotoAndPlay("exitb1r2");
Score1+=1;
}else if(Scissors1==1 && Rock2==1){
answer_txt.text="Player 2 Wins";
gotoAndPlay("exitb1r2");
Score2+=1;
};
}
};


I know this is alot to help with, but i'm severely stuck and this problem is deff bugging me... there is also another Object after this for Player two... if the .fla file would be handier, please PM me and i'll send you a link for it...

[FLASH CS3]CMD - Game
I want to make a game like the CMD in windows that is based on this: http://aperturescience.com/

it should be like this:

>*blinking block as marker*

Then the player should type in login like this:

>login*blinking block as marker*

Then he is going to be asked:

username>*blinking block as marker*

And if he types the right thing he should get asked

password>*blinking block as marker*

this is just the basics. I need to know how to do because I've never used flash before. If you try the game at http://aperturescience.com/ and type login, it is so I want it to happen.
