OnClick image apperance

**ashoui2001** · 04-11-2002, 10:00 PM

Okay, to start off I have a movie with an image as the background. It has a sound when you click on it (a bullet shot sound, to be precise). But now I want, when you click on the image, a image appeareces. I've made a bullet hole image so it looks like your shooting the image! This is a fun game I'm creating, but I don't know how to make the image I created apperear when you click on the background image!
I've worked out most of the stuff I have to know to finish this movie, but not the image that apperears after you click on the image!
NOTE: This is not related to any terorists or anything to do with people, it's a game I'm makeing with people as the background from a nother game (Red Faction, to be precise).
So can someone please help me out here?
Thank you in advance!

You can do that by duplicating the bulletHole MC every time the mouse is pressed, something like this:

Code:

_root.onMouseDown = function() {
	_root.attachMovie("bulletHole", "bulletHole"+(++name), name);
	currentHole = "bulletHole"+(name-1);
	currentHole._x = _root._xmouse;
	currentHole._y = _root._ymouse;
}

In the library, set the "Linkage" property of the MC you want to use as a bulletHole to "export for actionscript" and give it the name "bulletHole" (no quotes).

You might need to change this line:

currentHole = "bulletHole"+(name-1);

to:

currentHole = eval("bulletHole"+(name-1));

If it doesnt work.

**ashoui2001** · 04-12-2002, 11:05 PM

ok, who the bullet hole appereses but only in the top left corner! Not where the mouse coursor is

**etcettra** · 04-12-2002, 11:09 PM

Try chainging the code to:

Code:

_root.onMouseDown = function() {
	_root.attachMovie("bulletHole", "bulletHole"+(++name), name);
	_root["bulletHole+(name-1)]._x = _root._xmouse;
	_root["bulletHole+(name-1)]._y = _root._ymouse;
}

**ashoui2001** · 04-12-2002, 11:30 PM

nope sorry still stays in the corner

**etcettra** · 04-12-2002, 11:34 PM

Here, try it now, I forgot the closing quotes before.

Code:

_root.onMouseDown = function() {
	_root.attachMovie("bulletHole", "bulletHole"+(++name), name);
	_root["bulletHole"+(name-1)]._x = _root._xmouse;
	_root["bulletHole"+(name-1)]._y = _root._ymouse;
}

**ashoui2001** · 04-12-2002, 11:37 PM

Nope

**etcettra** · 04-12-2002, 11:41 PM

If this doesnt do it then I dont know what to try. Its 1am here and I cant think right now.

Code:

_root.onMouseDown = function() {
	_root.attachMovie("bulletHole", "bulletHole"+String(++name), name);
	_root["bulletHole"+String(name)]._x = _root._xmouse;
	_root["bulletHole"+String(name)]._y = _root._ymouse;
}

**ashoui2001** · 04-12-2002, 11:42 PM

All that happerns is that the bullet hole appereses in the corner, so which fram am i ment to put it in?

**ashoui2001** · 04-12-2002, 11:58 PM

Does the "_root" command mean anything? or is it just there to look good?

**ashoui2001** · 04-13-2002, 12:22 AM
