How to make a point and click game in Flash 8?

[RaynbowzRule]

HI! So I'm trying to make a point and click game, but I'm having alot of difficulty. At first I tried to follow this tutorial:

But I'm having trouble. So could someone explain it a little better please?
Also in my game the player has to click an object in order for another object to appear.
For example: If Bob clicks the dollar, goes to the bank, and clicks on the piggybank, a penny will appear on the screen.
Any ideas of how this can be coded?

It's easy. What have you done so far? Do you want me to make you a .fla so you can learn from it or use it, or do you want i try to explain how to make it step by step?

Here you have a tutorial i made for you.
You have only to create the movieclips and name them with instance names: door, key, pipe and the dynamic textbox statusTxt

And create 3 frames, one for each level, and put a stop(); on each one.

The door has a stop(); on its first frame, and then a stop(); on the last frame of the opening animation. The animation starts at frame 2.

oh thank you! I do have a question though, do I place all the codes in the frames of my movieclip? or would I place the coding in my movie clip or.....
aish

The script on the Level 1 place it on frame 1, the script on Level 2, place it on the frame 2, and so on. All in the main/root timeline. Isn't a good practice to put script on movieclips.

ok I think I understand, would I have to declare any variables? also would I just delete the text coding in the code since I don't want text to appear on release?

[angelhdz]

The only variable I made was var opened=false; and it's declared on each frame.

For the text thing, just put this on your onRelease code: statusTxt.text =""; And when you release the buttons, the dynamic textbox named statusTxt will be empty.

alright, i ran into a problem with the first code: After I get the key and click on the door, I cant go to level 2. Also what if my door doesnt have an animation? would I change the code?

lol I like looking through peoples FLAs and seeing how they code, I code way differently. :P

[angelhdz]

LOL. I code depending on my mood. If i'm down, i code with a mess , in no order, and very complex. If i'm happy and motivated, i organize my scripts, variables, etc, and optimize the script with the less code as possible. Regards Basses! I will post an updated version of this tutorial game in a few minutes
