Flash :: Help With Game Actionscript

Moving A Game From Actionscript 1.0 To Actionscript 2.0...
Hi there.

I hope someone can help me out here. I have been asked to create a simple Flash memory game, and I have been given a template to use as a basis. However, this template has been created in Actionscript 1.0 for Flash player 5. I now need to transfer it over to Actionscript 2.0 Flash player 8, and Ive noticed lots of odd behaviour once it has been changed.

Here is the code....

Code:
initGame();
stop();
function initGame() {
// make sorted list of cards
cardsListOrdered = [];
for (i=1; i<=18; i++) {
cardsListOrdered.push(i, i);
}
// shuffle list
cardsListSorted = [];
while (cardsListOrdered.length>0) {
r = int(Math.random()*cardsListOrdered.length);
cardsListSorted.push(cardsListOrdered[r]);
cardsListOrdered.splice(r, 1);
}
// create card clips and assign their location and picture
x = 0;
y = 0;
for (i=0; i<36; i++) {
attachMovie("Card", "Card"+i, i);
_root["Card"+i].picture = cardsListSorted[i];
_root["Card"+i]._x = x*60+200;
_root["Card"+i]._y = y*60+50;
// move to next card spot
x++;
if (x>5) {
x = 0;
y++;
}
}
firstclip = 0;
}
function clickCard(clip) {
// see if two card are showing
if (secondclip != 0) {
// turn those two cards back over
firstclip.enabled = true;
secondclip.enabled = true;
firstclip.gotoAndStop(1);
secondclip.gotoAndStop(1);
firstclip = 0;
secondclip = 0;
}
// see if same card was clicked
if (firstclip == clip) {
// turn card back over
firstclip.gotoAndStop(1);
firstclip = 0;
// see if no cards are showing
} else if (firstclip == 0) {
// turn first card over
clip.gotoAndStop(clip.picture+1);
firstclip = clip;
firstclip.enabled = false;
// must be one card showing
} else {
// turn second card over
clip.gotoAndStop(clip.picture+1);
secondclip = clip;
secondclip.enabled = false;
// see if two cards match
if (firstclip.picture == secondclip.picture) {
// Disable both cards
firstclip.enabled = false;
secondclip.enabled = false;
firstclip = 0;
secondclip = 0;
}
}
}
When set to FlashPlayer5, all works well. If a player tries clicking the same tile twice, it stops them. Also, when a pair of tiles are uncovered, again, the user is no-longer able to press them. This was done using the "enabled = false".

However, when I change it to Flash Player 8, none of these seems to work. Ill include the .fla so someone could possibly play around with it and see where the problem is, or whether there is another way to do it....

Hope someone can help.
Many thanks

Game Actionscript - Help
Hi All

Okay here goes....
I am creating a game a bit similar to what would be found within "girlie" magazines.
There are 5 questions in all with 4 possible answers(a,b, c, D) the user is able to select a combination of any choice within each question,depending on whether the user has more of one combination at the end of the quiz the, resulting image is shown

So say the user clicks more a's than the rest then an image will appear,
if the user clicks on the same number of a's and b's then another image will appear,

so essentially there will be a seperate resulting image at the end depending on results for the following:

a - image

b - image

c - image

D - image

A + B = image

A + C = image

B + C = image

C + D = image

B + D = image

A + D = image

can anyone out there help ???? Please

Really would need a source file....bgroves sent me a file similar to this for another poroject, this time it is alot more complex......

please help

urgent

thanks

Actionscript For A Game
Hey all,

This is a loaded question, so I hope someone can help. I'm creating a game for a cd-rom. Not very intense, however what I'm trying to do is the following:

1. Have 12 questions appear randomly throughout game.

2. Each question might have 2-5 possible answers.

3. When the possible answer is clicked on feedback will appear next to it stating whether it's true or false.

4. I don't want to use external files to load because the game is very visual and I want a specific font to show, as well as graphics appear.

5. My main goal would be to have the user click on the appropriate responses. Either True or False appears in graphic form along with a textual feedback and a check mark appearing next to the True answers.

6. When all answers have been clicked on a movie clip will appear telling the user to move to the next page.

Breakdown:

Random Q&A's
Actionscript checking to see if all answers have been clicked on
Answers have check marks beside them, and
Once all have been answered correctly a movie clip plays on the screen to proceed.

As you can tell I'm a designer, not a programmer, but do have actionscript experience, so I'll understand the verbage. Thank you!

Actionscript Game HELP
Note : I am useing Flash MX Professional 2004 and Flash MX
Alright, I am making a game with a fellow flash artist with the forum name "Soul_Sketcher". He makes the art work, while I do the programming. Sound fair.
alright, heres my question. Theres a dude that chases after the charcter you control. I'll put the actions down for him. (instance name is "Player" btw)Theres a dude thats chasing him. Now, I want it so that when the "Enemy" touches the "player", it goes to a different frame, or scene. Now, I probally am just over looking something, but i cant seem to find out how to do this. HELP!
Players Actionscript (the guy you control) :
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (Key.isDown(Key.UP)) {
_y -= 10;
}
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (Key.isDown(Key.DOWN)) {
_y -= -10;
}
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)) {
_x -= 10;

}
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)) {
_x -= -10;
}
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) { if (this.hitTest(_root.enemy)) { _root.player.Play (); }}

ENEMY'S Acrtioscript (The dude that chases after you) :

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (_root.player._x>_x) {
_x += 5;
}
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (_root.player._x<_x) {
_x -= 5;
}
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (_root.player._y>_y) {
_y += 5;
}
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (_root.player._y<_y) {
_y -= 5;
}
}

ALRIGHY, now, can someone edit the actionscript so that when the enemy touches the player, it goes to another scene. Please? I though i knew how to do this! I made this a long time ago, from another game and i TOTALLY forgot what to do, lol. (I think this has something to do with the whole (enterframe) part i left out )

This isnt exactly a game but i will be using it to help me make some in the future.

I have been spending a while practacing flash 8 at the age of 13, here is what i have managed to do with no help from other websites sofar. Copy and paste this code on the first frame on a blank page (white background, 550 x 400, 120 fps)

    };
    ball.onRelease = function() {
        stopDrag();
        ball._alpha = releaseaplha;
    };
};

You can drag the ball around and move it around with the arrow keys.
Could someone please tell me how i could make it so that instead of teleporting the ball when it touches the sides, it smoothly bounces instead ?

Actionscript Game Help
Hi all!

I’m trying to develop a game with Actionscript, but I’ve run into a string of maddening technical difficulties that my limited programming knowledge presently cannot overcome. I’d like to know Actionscript like the back of my hand, but lately that’s starting to look like a pipe dream.

Anyhow, the game I’m working on is in the style of The Terminator/Operation Wolf arcade games. There is a playable character that can moved with the keyboard, and the mouse behaves as a targeting reticule, with which the player will rollover and click the enemies to kill them.

I am having a difficult time trying to accomplish the following (this is with Actionscript 2.0, mind you):

1. Randomly generated enemy characters that spawn on either side of the screen, and move automatically from one side of the screen to the other. I've currently got them to generate randomly in a range of positions, but I can't seem to get them to move in any direction. These characters are being generated from an array. Deleting the array doesn't seem to work.

2. I want these same enemy characters to remove themselves from the stage when the game is over. The “Game Over” screen is in a scene separate from the main game. For some reason, I can get my player character to disappear using removeMovieClip, but not the enemy characters, which again, are being generated from an array.

I’ve tried a whole mess of things that seem to work in theory, but not in execution. If anyone should care to come to my rescue, I would greatly appreciate it. Feel free to let me know what other information I can provide to help you help me!

Thanks so much in advance!

Yet Again More Actionscript Help Needed W/ Game.
FLA:

http://cp1.myhostdns.org/~hellfusi/u...uraengine4.fla

===========

This is a action game I've been working on for a few weeks now with the help/advice of many from the Flashkit community: JTNX, ihoss, Marmotte, etc you guys know who you all are!

I'm still working on it and at a stump again because I can't figure out how to accomplish some things in my game right now so I'm here again asking for help.

Things I don't know how to do and want to find tutorials for:

- Teleport: Being able to have my character walk to the next screen when he approaches and exit or wants to walk towards the next room, for example.

- Spells: You might notice that animated tornado. Yep... I want to have enemies cast magic basically. The tornado would just move towards the middle point of the stage and go back. I'm also curious to figure out how to make something appear around the enemy to signify that he/she/it is casting a spell. Would you place an object, set the x-y coordinates to the enemy object? How would this be accomplished?

- Points: Being able to pick up a simple object on the ground that accumulates into the points box above.

As always, help is greatly appreciated. Thanks again.

[help] Stuck On Actionscript Help For My Game
This is my first flash game and I've looked, but couldn't find tutorials for the coding I want to do so I've been really struggling trying to guess where stuff goes and piecing individual tutorials together- I'm doing good but i have two problems:

1) when the laser hits the spaceship then you lose a life, when all lifes are gone then game over.
code: onClipEvent (load) {
var lives = 3;
function reset(){
this._y=-15;
this._x=random(400);
enemySpeed=random(10)+5;

}

reset();
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
this._y+=enemySpeed;

if (this.hitTest( _root.spaceship ) ){
lives-=1

}
if (lives < 3) {
removeMovieClip(Life3);
}
if (lives < 2) {
removeMovieClip(Life2);
}
if (lives < 1) {
gotoAndPlay(517);
}

if (this._y>450) {
reset();
}
if (this.hitTest( _root.spaceship ) ){
removeMovieClip(this);

}

}

2) I have a power bar, I make it go up and down like I want but I can't make it go to the frames like it should.
code: onClipEvent(load){

dropSpeed=10;
upSpeed=3;

}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {

if (Key.isDown(Key.CONTROL) and this._y<400) {
this._y+=dropSpeed;
} else if (Key.isDown(Key.SHIFT) and this._y>245) {
this._y-=upSpeed;
}

if (this._y>395) {
gotoAndPlay(118);
} else if (this._y<240) {
gotoAndPlay(211);
}
}

if someone could help me out with that or tell me how to make variables work please tell me because it seems like they don't do anything for me other than keep tract (I've already tried to switch frames based on score, but couldn't get it to even though scoring worked great)

Help Actionscript Audio For A Game
I am trying to add sound efx to this flash MX racing game. I have my sound file and I have checked the "export for actionscpiting" and the "export in first frame", but I can not get the sound to work. I have a trace line in there to make sure that the code was being executed and it was, but still no sound. The code below is attached to a movie clip.

On clipevent(enterframe) {
....A whole lot more code that you don't need to see....

if (_root.track.crunchers.hittest(frontpos[0].x,frontpos[0].y,true) & !collide)
{// CAR BOUNCES BACK ON IMPACT ARCADEY FEEL
//play collide sound
collideSound = newsound();
collideSound.attachSound("Collision_boing");
collideSound.setvolume(100);
collideSound.start();
trace("Collide Boing play");
speed = -speed*bounceback
vector[0]= -vector[0]
vector[1]= -vector[1]
collide = true;
}
... continuation of more code...

Why can't I get the audio to play? I have tried making a function in the first frame of the movie and just calling that function to play the sound and that also does not work for me. Please help!!!!
I am looking for any suggestions. I am sure there is something simple that I am missing.

Help Actionscript Audio For A Game
I am trying to add sound to this Flash game. I am using Flash MX (2003) The script is in a movie clip under on clipevent(enterframe). I have the soundfile and I have checked the 'export for actionscripting' and 'export in first frame'. I put a trace line in there to make sure that the code was being executed. It is being executed and everything works other than I never hear audio.
Here is short bit of my code.

if (_root.track.crunchers.hittest(frontpos[0].x,frontpos[0].y,true) & !collide)
{// CAR BOUNCES BACK ON IMPACT ARCADEY FEEL
//play collide sound
collideSound = newsound();
collideSound.attachSound("Collision_boing");
collideSound.setvolume(100);
collideSound.start();
trace("Collide Boing play");
speed = -speed*bounceback
vector[0]= -vector[0]
vector[1]= -vector[1]
collide = true;
}

There is obviously some code before and after this, but I thought this might help. I am sure I am missing something simple so someone plese help.

Fun Actionscript Forum Game
A saw this on the bit-101 forums... and It sounds fun!

Add a line to the following code. next person can add another line, or change an existing line.

SIMPLE LINES PLEASE!
no ? : operators. no embedded statements. if you create an "if" block, you can only specify the conditional, not the content! If you make a for loop, same thing. just the loop, not the content. let it build up slowly.

This code is code that can be placed STRAIGHT onto the first frame of a blank file. Please KEEP it that way.

here's the seed:

Code:
createEmptyMovieClip("thing", 0);

Help With Platform Game Actionscript
I'm a newbie with actionscipt so sorry if the problem is really simple. I'm working on a platform game (Like super mario) and I have a hero, "man" and a platform. You can move left and right with the arrow keys and jump with the up arrow. My problem is that when I jump, my hero keeps on falling past the platform beacuse the hitTest doesn't seem to be working.

Code in frame, it is filled with functions that the mc calls:

Code:
stop();
function initGame() {
speed = 5;
bounce = 5;
JumpMax = 10;
JumpSpeed = 0;
flight = 0;
}
//-------------------------------------------------------|
//Movement-----------------------------------------------|
//-------------------------------------------------------|
function moveMan() {
if (Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)) {
man._x = man._x+speed;
man.gotoAndStop("moveright");
} else if (Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)) {
man._x = man._x-speed;
man.gotoAndStop("moveleft");
} else if (Key.isDown(Key.UP)) {
if (flight == 0) {
flight = 1;
JumpSpeed = JumpMax;
}
} else {
man.gotoAndStop("normal");
}
if (flight == 1) {
man._y = man._y-JumpSpeed;
if (JumpSpeed>(0-20)) {
JumpSpeed = JumpSpeed-1;
}
}
//-------------------------------------------------------|
//Boundries----------------------------------------------|
//-------------------------------------------------------|
if (man.hitTest(north)) {
man._y = man._y+bounce;
speed = 0;
JumpSpeed = 0;
} else if (man.hitTest(south)) {
man._y = man._y-bounce;
speed = 0;
JumpSpeed = 0;
} else if (man.hitTest(west)) {
man._x = man._x+bounce;
speed = 0;
JumpSpeed = 0;
} else if (man.hitTest(east)) {
man._x = man._x-bounce;
speed = 0;
JumpSpeed = 0;
}
}
speed is the speed for moving left and right, JumpSpeed is for jumping. flight is either 0 or 1, it tells whether the character is jumping at the moment or not.

This is in the platform MC:

Code:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (flight == 1) {
if (me.hitTest(man._x, man._y, true)) {
flight = 0;
JumpSpeed = 0;
man._y = me._y;
}
}
}
Do you see any problems?

Thanks,
Eastwinn

Actionscript Game 2.0 Question
Okay so I got Cartoonsmarts Isometric RPG tutorials.. and I am working through them. At first the coding was simple.. I got the little character to follow the mouse pointer.. but after adding the code to get him to walk .. WHAM!! I can't seem to make it work correctly.

When I click somewhere on the map... he doesn't go to where the pointer is... he just kind of wanders ... some time in the direction of the mouse.. sometimes not....

I am not sure if I should post the code since the code looks like the stuff in the tutorial. So what would help, code, the entire file?

Any insight to gt my guy to walk straight (besides to get him to give up drinking) would be great!

I Need Actionscript For A Game-its Complicated.
I do hope someone will be able to tell the code for this, as ive been to many other actionscript related websites that cannot help me.

Ok, this is done in flash8, take into account.

The game starts off with a long movie clip, but somewhere near the end of it, you have a certin time to enter in a code. If you do not enter in the code in time, nothing happens, the movie just stops(game over)
But if you do enter in the right code, lets say enter in "hello", then you press "enter" the movie restarts.

I have no idea how to do this.
I have the movieclip finished, i just need to add the actionscript at a ceryin frame of the movie that will allow you to enter in the code.

So how do i do that, and how do i tell the computer the correct code that restarts the movie once you press enter?

And how do i tell the computer that if you enter in the wrong code and press enter, it goes to the last frame of the movie(game over)

Its some difficult script, but i badly need it.
PLEASE HELP ME.
And if you do help me, lay it out in steps.

Thanks.

PS: I reliese that i posted this already but i found out that it was in the wrong section(http://www.actionscript.org/forums/s...950#post500950)
Sorry bout' that.

Simple Actionscript Game Help
I'm working on a simple AS game. snowflakes drop from the sky and then a penguin at the bottom gets points for eating them.

It's really pretty simple. But I have two questions.
FIRST QUESTION:
This code creates 10 randomly placed duplicate snowflake movie clips
for(var i=0;i<9;i++)

This code at the bottom tests that the snowflake hits the tingue of the penguin: if (penguin.tongue.hitTest(snowflake1._x, snowflake1._y)) {

I put "snowflake1" in as the movie name to test it, but really I want it to work on all 10 snowflakes. Is there an easy way to write this out without writing it 10 times for each instance name?

SECOND QUESTON:
on key down and hold it moves the penguin once, pauses, then starts moving continuously. Is there a way to write it so it won't pause after the first move?

Code:

for(var i=0;i<9;i++) {
snowflake.duplicateMovieClip("snowflake"+i,i);
}

/////////////////////////////////////
listen = new Object();
listen.onKeyDown = function() {
if (Key.getCode() == Key.LEFT) {
//prevImage();
trace(penguin._x);
currentx=penguin._x;
penguin._x=currentx-6;
trace("left");
} else if (Key.getCode() == Key.RIGHT) {
//nextImage();
trace(penguin._x);
currentx=penguin._x;
penguin._x=currentx+6;
trace("right");
}
};
Key.addListener(listen);
/////////////////////////////////////

totalscore=0;
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
trace("snow x "+ snowflake1._x);
if (penguin.tongue.hitTest(snowflake1._x, snowflake1._y)) {
snowflake1._y = -(Math.random()*452); // this recycles the snowflake
totalscore+=100;
trace("score " + totalscore);
}
};

Zelda Game Actionscript Help
Hello.

I'm basically a "noob" when it comes to actionscripting. I have only done copy x paste scripting, never really went into the whole learning process of AS'ing.

After viewing a recent flash that tested "what video game character are you" which can be viewed on the website " http://liquidgeneration.com " over the Quizzes section, I decided to make an adventure game.

Now this quiz will generate what kind of character you are by asking you personal questions and calculating the score.

What I had in mind was to have a Zelda game (big fan) in which there will be 4 questions each encounter with a monster, sort of like this:

BIG MOTH ATTACKS!!

What will you do?
a)hack at the limbs with your sword
b)concentrate magic power for a devastating magic attack
c)throw large rocks at the creature
d)enable the help of the spirits

so then each one of these will add a +1 to what the person is going to be. Say for example he chooses A;

berserker = 1
magician = 0
creator = 0
totemic = 0

but if he chose B;
berserker = 0
magician = 1
creator = 0
totemic = 0

And so on so forth.

Of course this will not show in-game but the the script is tracking the player's choices(does this connect to variables in any way I do not know).

so at the end of the game, the scores will turn up like this for example:

b = 100
m = 65
c = 43
t = 42

So at the end, the game states that the character is a "berserk" class. This is because he chose the most answers that gave +1 to the berserk statistics. This is how I assume flash-quiz makers produce their games.

Before I ask you for any assistance, please take to heart the fact that I'm only 13 years old. If you require some clarification with some areas of my explanation, feel free to ask.

Please Some1 Help With GAME ACTIONSCRIPT
Hi every1. If anybody can change the code in my game and get it to work I will give them £20. I cant upload the fla as it is too big by 100kb and don't know hot o make it smaller. I have uploaded the published thing.

If any1 thinks they can help I can emal them the fla.

I think there is only a small prob with code but I can't get it to work . The problem is that the game has a timer that runs down, if you can't complete the game in the time (ie the timer runs to 0 seconds) the "game over" page should appear. The "game over" page does appear but the game itself doesnt go. Anyway if anybody can fix the code I promise i will give them £20 reward cos I am going nuts with this code! Thanks.

HELP HitTest In Actionscript Game
Hi all. I'm quite a Noob to Flash, and actionscript, and have recently been asked to develop an educational game. I looked at a fall and catch game, which encorporates multiplication and numbers in the game.

However i am having a little trouble with the hit test. I have a movie clip of the item 'num', which is added every 45 frames, and is animated to drop.

I have a character which is called char_mc which is movable (left and right) with the keyboard.

I have This code for the hitTest, and have tried putting this in different parts of the script too.

Code:
if(this.hitTest(_root.char_mc)) {//Hit test to see if the new drop hits the charactor (i.e user has caught the item)
score +=1;//increment the score by 1 if it does hit
trace("hit");//output the message hit if it's a hit
}

else //else decrese the score by one
{
score -=1;
}
I can post code up and even the FLA if required.

I'm sorry if i'm being a bit vague but hopefully someone can help me. Thanks in advanced

Actionscript+game+ A Seesaw
Hi. I am very new to Flash AS but I have been trying to create a game that will have a seesaw effect.
So that when the first character jumps off the top platform onto the seesaw the second character will fly up off the seesaw and onto the top platform. I tried just a simple ' if (Key.isDown(Key.SPACE)) {
_x =' ,with a hitTest, ect....
but that doesn't seem to work very well. That also just moves the character straight down or up and it doesn't appear as though they are actualy jumping.

Is there a specific way of doing this? AM i going about this the right way? or am i completely off base.

I would really appreciate any help. I am desperate.
Thanks!
