ive got a few games for you to look at, new and old.

http://www.omninet.net.au/~timbooth/csw2.html
http://www.omninet.net.au/~timbooth/biplane - this can easily be modified (music, graphics etc)...

for the load movieclip thing

if (whatever) {
_root.attachMovieClip("myClip", "nameforattachedclip", depth);
}

just make sure that in the library, under the clips "linkage" menu, it has a...

whats that supposed to mean?

not to frustrated, just a little surprised that you couldnt work it out for yourself. try this.


onClipEvent (load) {
var rot;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
_root.supercar._rotation =...

i thought that this was cleared up in another thread. look, i tried the code which i gave you (which you also posted) in a big black movieclip, and it moved and rotated fine. to get the car to face...

if i enter: the elements. why dont you post a poll? it cant be hard to work out how.

well there are two obvious ways of getting your game.

1: make it yourself. free. takes time to learn but if you have experience with code then it really isnt very difficult.

2: employ someone...

why dont you put all that in the movieclip itself? what version of flash are you running?

ive never tried, but do you need _root.getbytestotal()? or will it work with just getbytestotal ()? have you got some dynamic text fields to display it?

make sure the code is in an enterFrame handler, make sure there are no else if (key.isDown(Key..... only if (Key.isDown...

that should work

if your platformer isnt tile based (edmack or outside of society tutes) then it may be that all of your tiles have the same instance name. a good way to avoid this problem with code is to duplicate...

ok, well you can incorperate the mouse and slide yourself, but I can fill you in on the different ways to make the stars, the movement, and the map.

basically, there is an easy, and bulky (lots of...

something like this? layers of stars are not hard to do...

tell me if thats what you want.

add this under the enterFrame handler to the roads code.

_root.supercar._rotation = this._rotation;

that will make the angle the car is facing the same as the road.

you dont want the _x and _y to equal cosine and sine, as they are distances, not points. consider a right angled triangle.

sine = opposite side to angle devided by hypotenuse
cosine = adjacent...

ok, once youve got the first thing working, make a new line, this one the same colour of the track, then turn it into a movieclip. put this code in.

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (this.hitTest...

ok, make a line the width of your track, and turn it into a symbol. give it these actions.

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (this.hitTest (_root.player)&& dir = true) {
laps+=1;
}
if (laps>=3) {...

"and" in flash is simple, it looks like this &&. ie:

if (this.hitTest(_root.bullet) && explosion = false) {
do wotever.
}

as for your second problem,

a) you dont need _root._root, and all...

actually, i think i can help you out here. it would be lengthy posting my budget code, but i managed to get a jump + hitTest working with the outside of society tutes. its still very buggy (i stopped...

way way way to hard. so i didnt really get to see much of the game....

argh! change it back! i can't play at all with the new controls. felt alot more comfortable with the old way.

put this in the gloves movieclip:




onClipEvent (load) {
this.swapDepths (999999);
}

there isnt much aim to it yet is there?

and its more than a bit repetative. but on the upside, its promising, and the graphics are nice. its hard to give it much constructive critisism when theres...

yes, i had seen and used that before, but then i was attaching my tiles straight onto the main stage, this time i am attaching them into another movieclip (which is in the centre of the main stage),...

well, you learn something new everyday - i always thought that the x and why values of the attached movieclips would be disproportional to the array. i fiddled for a while, and got it to work :
