Shooter Game Help In Flash 8

How do you make a movie clip follow your cursor and shoot bullets with the spacebar?

Create a movieClip and give it the following actions:

Actionscript Code:

onClipEvent (load) {
    _x = 0;
    _y = 0;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
    endX = _root._xmouse;
    endY = _root._ymouse;
    _x += (endX-_x);
    _y += (endY-_y);
}

That should make your movieClip follow the cursor.

for the bullets you'll have to make an "invisible" movieClip and add the following actions to it:

Actionscript Code:

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
    if (Key.isDown(KEY.SPACE)) {
        //code for the bullet
    }
}

Good luck. :)
