[MX] Help with a game

[Fraenze]

Hello everybody, this is my first post.
I'm Spanish, so excuse my poor English.

The question is, I have a to made a game with Flash.

It must appear a person who must receive an aleatory quantity of money.
At the botton, a serial on coins of different value. The player should go pressing in th coins till he reaches the required quantity.

I wish you could help me.
Thank you.

I would help you.. but i didnt really understand the question..

You want to click a button, and when u do, it adds money to a money dynamic text box?

Howdy and welcome to FlashKit,

From what I can tell from your question you want something like a Mario game? Where you move around and collect coins and after some many something happens. Is that kinda what your making?

Ok, I'll try again.
The player must make an amount of money clicking on coins of different value.
For example:

You must give: 10'20 $
And at the bottom are coins of 0.20, 0.50, 1 and 2 $. You have to click on the coins to have the total.
So each coin must have a valour, and the swf have to stop when the amount is bigger than the requested.

I hope you could understand me.
Thanks.

VexForge, what you say may help me. How could I do that?

hey... i think i might be able to help...

if you have an .fla file, that would also be helpful... but you can set up a varrible for the mony, for example _root.mony = 0 then you can have code on the mony like...

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
	this.onRelease = function() {
		_root.mony += 10
	}

then for the part about if the mony is = to a certian amount you would rite

if (_root.mony>100){
	trace("YAY!")
}

i hope that helps some

Okay, this is extremely simple, but maybe it'll help get you started:

Here are the objects you'll need to create on the stage:
amount_txt (a dynamic textbox)
penny_btn (button)
nickel_btn (button)
dime_btn (button)
quarter_btn (button)
dollar_btn (button)

var amount:Number = 0;
updateAmountTextbox();
function updateAmountTextbox() {
	amount_txt.text = amount;
}
penny_btn.onRelease = function() {
	amount += 1;
	updateAmountTextbox();
};
nickel_btn.onRelease = function() {
	amount += 5;
	updateAmountTextbox();
};
dime_btn.onRelease = function() {
	amount += 10;
	updateAmountTextbox();
};
quarter_btn.onRelease = function() {
	amount += 25;
	updateAmountTextbox();
};
dollar_btn.onRelease = function() {
	amount += 100;
	updateAmountTextbox();
};

What's still missing is a function that will convert your amount to currency before it displays it (optional anyway). Also missing is any kind of function that tests to see if the amount has reached a target amount. To add that in, make a variable to represent the target amount, and a function that tests to see if the amount is equal to it yet. Call the function whenever the amount is incremented.
