OK we are now scoring - thanks - but hitTest does't work though.

I mentioned previously that some "bugs" are hidden until they are needed later in the game, but the hitTest code will include them...

I don't disagree, but its all I know. I wouldn't know an array if I tripped over it

Thanks 5Five555 - I'll fix that up and see if it runs further into the debug

Non-programmer here, struggling with having to now (finally) work in AS3.

I've looked around, but can't find something similar (or as simple) as my old AS2 scoring - hitTest method was.

Problem...

Thanks for your help but it doesnt work.

Just to clarify the code is in "MC1" on frame 100, so "MC1" has to play first to get there. That used to be automatic but with AS3 who knows.

OK from the title you can tell I'm now a AS3 newbie. Its a shame because I was good intermediate at AS2 and all of a sudden I'm back at square one - and I'm no programmer so there's little chance of...

OK this should be simple, but the solutions I had found didn't work, so maybe I'm doing something different.

I'm using AS2 (still) and have 2 swfs loaded onto the main stage at different levels.

Thanks, that's helpful.

For anyone reading this in the future I found another simple alternative method - my MC_finishline clip was unloaded when the hitTest was activated and then loaded back...

Using Flash 8, AS2.

I have a very simple game with hitTest set up to score.

Everytime MC_car (mouse controlled) hits MC_finishline (static), one score is added.

The problem is if MC_car...

I'm doing a project with 3 games, each of which is a seperate movie and just gets loaded and unloaded into the main stage as required.

Problem is, one game needs to run at a frame rate of 36 fps...

OK forced upgrade to CS4 and I have gone from AS2 wannabe to AS3 total newbie.

Having problems when ever I extend my timeline - all references to it, such as :

root.play()

etc, held in any...

My apologies MyFriendIsATaco and Whispers - I appreciate your help and will investigate your suggestions.

You never tried it but its a solution? Is this spam?

The key to this is going to be in the JS code.

I have a site where the client insisted "click to activate and use this control" messages should be disabled, so that users could just jump straight into any Flash interactives without annoying...

Works, awesome help mneil, here's the code:

on (release) {
holder = loadMovie("movies/old_movie.swf", _root.my_clip1.my_clip2.holder);
holder._x = 3;
holder._y = 10;
}

Trying to load some old swfs into a new Flash project by using the loadMovieNum via a button.

I did these swfs 4 years ago as part of something else, back then I just created a new stage the same...

I want to use a sound on/off MC but I want it to work for the whole site, not just the current page.

The site is a collection of HTML pages, each with their own swf file, eg 01.html has 01.swf as...

There's some assumed knowledge here, as I couldn't get this to work.

Hows this set up - plain button, MC, fields for email, subject & body??

I'm afraid I'm no coder - wouldn't know a trace action if I fell over it. I'm more of an ideas man.

Perhaps it would be easier for you to look at the file if you're able:

Thanks for your help. Alas I can't get that working:

Finalseconds_score=timer.secondMC.seconds;

Then back up on the main timeline I have a...

I built a racing game and a timer that gives the player a score at the end.

The "timer" MC is on the main stage, within it is another MC "secondMC" which counts the seconds. The seconds are...

Thanks silentweed, this is worth a try, but ideally I need something simpler that automatically pre-loads all the images at the start, not on the press of a button - I need to avoid users having to...

Hi all, just set up an online interactive which dynamically loads images (JPEGS & GIFS) and text as required.

I set it up like this so that the client can easily replace text or images in future...

awesome, that worked!!!

Fastest ever solution to my own problem. Should be:

"this.INTRO.intro_txt.text = features_lv.intro_txt;"

Anyone know how to load text into various dynamic text boxes, all from the one .txt...

This is frustrating me, I have found and followed examples in some posts and even did the Flash tutorial but its not working.

Basically I am setting up a file that clients will be able to edit...
