Makeing A Flash Counter
Hi all, I've got a rather interesting question. I want to make a swf file that uses a txt file to store and retrieve from, a number. Each time the swf is loaded, the number retrieved is increased by one and the new number is saved to the same txt file. The next time the swf is loaded, it retrieves the new number from the txt file and increases it by one and then saves that new number to the same txt file and so on. Anyone hear know of a way to do this?
Thanks loads,

[F8] Question On Makeing A Game.
Hi, My question is, I'm trying to find an easy way to make an inventory list for a rpg game. Like, when I walk over something it adds it to a text box I made and tells the quantity of the item, But the problem I obviously ran into was, I needed to find a way to make it so if I already store something in the first Slot, I needed to have the next object that is obtained go into the Second, and so forth.
So far i was able to get this,
Code:
onClipEvent(enterFrame){
if (this.hitTest(_root.player)){
if(_root.itemSlot == 1){
_root.item1 = "Gold x20";
_root.gp = 20;
_root.itemSlot = 2;
;
} else if (_root.itemSlot == 2) {
_root.item2="Gold x20"
_root.gp = 20;
}
And its the same for the other item except the Label for it is "Sword x1".
But what I need is an easier way for if I have more then 10 items in my list.
and labeling their quantity.
My best guess on this is for me to use an Array but i'm completely stuck on how exactly im going to make life easier for me with having 10 or 20 slots. That sure would be a lot of if statements that would go on every object that can be obtained. =
If there's anyway anyone could help me, I'd gladly appreciate it.
Thank you =]

Makeing Actionscript More Portable *Word*
I found a descent tutorial on www.bit-101.com about gravity. I have used it to create/modify a movie that basicly does what I want it to do.
http://www.mdeering.com/flashkit/Polariod.swf
Now I want to use the same actionscript on all of the files that are in a directory or better yet listed in an XML file. The final goal is to have a stage full of small Polariods that come in one after anouther.
I have done some basic tutorials on xml but I need some help on getting started putting this together. I'm realy not to sure about how to approach the structure of the code and what goes where.
Here is a link to my current .fla and the photos.

Mouse Curser
Hi,
I am trying to build a drawing component for a project that I am working on. I need to have the coding for the draw tool and paint tool in the same frame of the actions layer (it's a very complex project). When the user selects the pencil tool, it tells the movie to go to the frame with the draw&paint code, and the user can start drawing. If the user selects the paintbrush tool, it also tells the movie to go to the frame with the draw&paint code. When either of these tools are selected, I want them (the mc of the pencil or the brush) to replace the mouse cursor , and the code for this needs to be in the actions layer of the main timeline (not the traditional way, which is to attach the Mouse.hide code to the movie clip itself). For eg., say the user draws a bit, the selected pencil replaces the cursor. Then user wants to paint, selects the brush, and it should replace the pencil cursor. If they go back to the pencil, the pencil again replaces the cursor, etc. How do I do this??
This is what I have so far:
pencil_btn.onRelease = function() {
_root.myComp.thick = 1;
_root.myComp.colour = 0x330000;
Mouse.hide();
pencil_mc.onEnterFrame = function(){
this._x = _root._xmouse;
this._y = _root._ymouse;
}
}
brush_btn.onRelease = function() {
_root.myComp.thick = 7;
_root.myComp.colour = 0xFF3366;
Mouse.hide();
brush_mc.onEnterFrame = function(){
this._x = _root._xmouse;
this._y = _root._ymouse;
}
}
But this doesn't work (obviously!). Please help!
thanks

Curser Movement?
Hey
Could someone explain how this works?
I would like to find out how to do this: on a curser movement left or right - it will go to the next frame or previous frame:
Moving the mouse across the screen will play the series of frames in a movie clip - creating the animation motion according to the mouse movement.
Look at this great example: www.presstube.com/portion/
It would be good to use while a file is preloading!
Any help?
Cheers, werglum

Button Following The Curser
how do I get a button to follow the curser until it leaves the hit area. hopefully that makes sense. I like how the chronicles of narnia production page does it.
http://adisney.go.com/disneypictures/narnia/index.html? deeplink=production
I know how to create a movie inside the button with a fade in... but how do I make it fade out? and I have no idea as to how to make the button movie follow my curser around the "hit" box area....
any help would be great !

Change Curser Shape
Hi,
There is a button symbol which I want that onRollOver the mouse won't show "a finger" = I want it to be as if it's not a button. The symbol has to be a button, and during runtime the instance window with the behavior property can't be reached, so the way the curser looks onRollOver has to be taken care using ActionScript.
Also I've been told that changing the shape of the curser in a certain area on the page (unlike changing it for the hole page) doesn't work well - it's jumpy.
Any idea how do I keep the curser shape as an arrow while it's on a button?
Thanks,
Maya
