hehe, why thank you.
There are seven bosses, each at every 500 pts.

Santuria, you asked about Preloaders? Theres two different types as far as I know.

The first type will load your game from within, so you would only need the one swf, but the second kind is an...

Thanks for your opinion.
However, I wasn't trying to make a simple game like everyone else here, I was trying to make a gamer's game.

Playt's Plates...

OK. I think I got it. I tried many things, so I'm not quite sure what it was exactly that I did to make it work. I'm gonna test it a couple more times before I post it as beta, but I'm pretty sure...

AAARGH. I've been working on this preloader for like 3 days straight, and I haven't gotten anywhere it seems. No matter what I try, it won't work.
How can a preloader, which has hardly any coding in...

hmmm. Thank you for changing that, I can see it fine now.

it's a pretty cool game. How long did it take you to make that?

why is it that I can't see his posted code, but I can sometimes see other peoples coding? Does anybody kno?

ok. Thanks for the code. But no luck so far. Should I put that in a frame loop/function?

This is what is happening now. It won't even look like it's loading, it'll show the fully downloaded...

bl = e_mc.getBytesLoaded();

I am testing it over the net.

It will seem to work fine it loads, and then plays the game now, but within the game, it won't let you throw the plates, it won't pause, and the streaming music is...

I took out all the _globals, and added in this, instead of _root, but I get the exact same results. The game starts to play, but not all of its aspects work.

Is what I'm trying to do impossible?

_global.bl=0;
_global.bt=0;
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("e_mc",1);
e_mc.loadMovie("playtplate.swf",1);
gotoAndPlay("loading");
_global.preload=function (){
_global.bt = e_mc.getBytesTotal();...

All I want to do, is have my file, loadPP.swf, load the game, and show it's progress, then automatically start the game.

I have tried many...

Vengeance, that code is awesome. I had no clue you could do that. Even though I didn't ask the question, I want to thank you for the info. I'm using an adaptation of that code, and it works perfect.

alright, I'll see what I can find. Thanks for the reply

I've got this game I've been working on for some time now called Playt's Plates. I want to add a high score list system, but I want it to be rather simple. I have no clue how to do this, could...

andross, I messed up on my link. Could you make it http://www.daveisbored.com/games/platesBeta.html instead of what it says now. I left out the /game/ part.
Thank you.

good points

ok, thank you man, what'd you think of the gallery? It's pretty basic, but I thought I'd have it as a feature, and it'd be cool to add a little description to each character, and maybe each level....
