Flash :: Game Problem...

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

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.

[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?

Updating Game Stats During Game

[CS3] Snake Game, Game Size

Card Game (turn-based) - Lobby Room And Game Room, Maintain State
Hi all, I´m new in this forum, since now i appreciate for any help.

I´m developing a turn-based card game in Flash 8 (multiplayer), using the concepts of lobby and room. In this case when the user login de game, he always see the lobby, where he can choice the games, then the user selects a game in a dataGrid and enter the game.

Inside the game (that resides in another frame in my .fla), there is a button that when clicked brings de users to the main lobby ( gotoAndStop(“lobby”) ) so that the user can visualize the lobby with the game running in background with the others users.
The problem is when the user return to the game ( gotoAndStop(“game”) ), the images, cards, players name and chat history text disappear, all the game object disappear, remaining only the original graphics (movie clips) to the game room.
In fact, I need a solution to maintain the state of the game when the user decide to visualize the lobby (with the game running) and after return to the game.

Thanks for any help.

Regards,

Luiz Filipe (CURURU)

What I want to happen is each time the player finds a fruit, I want it to appear in the control panel. How do I go about doing this? Can anyone help? Much appreciated! If anyone has an example to something similar to this it would be much appreciated if I could see it! thanks!

Help Doing Game
Hi everybody!
Can any of you tell me how to do this?
I´m making a game about a space ship which fires a laser and moves around the screen. My problem is that I want it to fight against asteroids, so I need to do that when the laser hits an asteroid it explodes and then appears randomly again in the screen.
I have already solved the part of the laser shot and the part of the spaceship´s movement, but I can´t do the other part right enough!
My problem is when I fire the laser and when it hits the asteroid I can´t duplicate the asteroid Movie Clip.

If anybody knows how to do this or where I can´t download a tutorial I will appreciate it very much!

Thank you very much!

I need some scripting help... 'please'! I have 6 images, 3 are of pics animals, 3 are the names corresponding to each animal. I am trying to set up a 'MEMEORY game' for small children. Scripting is not my strong point and after 2 weeks of daily digging, I am no closer to the answer. If ANYONE has a moment or two to help me do this in the simplest way I would be EXTREMELY grateful. I just cannot seem to get a handle on how I would write the script and although I DO have some books now, it still isn't making logical sense to me yet. ( If you can help, this would be terrific and very much appreciated believe me! Thx in advance!

Game Help, Please ?
Need help in development of game. 5 questions to be answered by user. 1 right answer gives user 1000 points ; rest of the four wrong answers gives user a negetive point (each of a different value). The total points gained and lost is shown at the end thru a dynamic text variable.

The problem is that at the response from the user, a pop-up lets him know whether user was right or wrong. Due to this, the points are getting lost. There is no display of points whatsoever.

Game....
Hello,
I'm making a game, for this discussion let's say it's a little ball, and i have it going through a maze(it'll be kind of like zelda when i'm done), and i give the user control to move the ball. NOw, my problem is that i want to know how i can keep the ball in the constraintls of the maze, so that the person can't like jump over wallz but actually keep in the path, so that when they walk toward a wall the ball just stops. Will i need to plug in these coordinates individually? Or is there another way to do it? If there is could you give me a quick example please?

Thank you all,

Hi, me and my friend are trying to make a game on flash mx, and we need some help. the game is supposed to be in the format like zelda (for gameboy or snez) or like final fantasy (for snez) or like pokemon. we managed to make a small test game, though it took a long time, becouse we had a different keyframe for every place the character could be, and we had to write : on keypress:left goto frame 9 and so on froe every keyframe. can someone explay a more efficient and easier (and better) way, we would be VERY greatfull. using an actionsript or something that goes for the entiresequence. and is there maybe a way that we dont need to make all those keyframes...?

Need Ur Help On This Game........
Hi all.....
I am working in Flash MX. I am creating a game where I want my _x and _y values of a variable inside a movieclip called as water to move along with the _x and _y values of another movieclip whose name is glass. What I am trying to do is that once I click on the water movieclip, it should drop into the glass and then move along with the glass on the x-axis.
I have used hitTest to test the hit between the glass and water. It works fine so far.
But once the water hits the glass, it should move with the glass itself and at the same speed of the glass. But it does'nt. I have tried using the "localToGlobal" function....
but am facing a lot of problems.
Can anyone please help me?
I have been stuck on this for a long time.
It would be more helpful if anyone can send me a script for this.
Thank u all in advance
