Contacted a guy who knows PHP and he suggested changing the carraige returns (\r) to new lines (\n). Supposedly carraige...

OK. Been learning PHP and building a backend to a site I'm working on.

where are some GOOD places to showcase your games?

a steady 15 fps on my 9600 w/ 200mHz G3 card. Action is very smooth tho.

I think the main thing about macs is the flash player has a bug which drops the frame rate for macs at specified levels. ...

very nice! graphics as clean & crisp. action smooth. good job!

woo! can't wait to see the finished game!

sweet. great trax, great speed

at this rate i'm wondering when the .final code will be put up ;)

sweet links too. after my 2nd flash game, i'm really excited about doing more flash games and this is just great!

marmotte, you...

variable not initialized?

yeah, i feel kinda weird shooting ice cubes at an eskimo's crotch...

great game. :)

*drool* You rock Marmotte!

ah. yes. mebe make the menu taller/different color... thanks.

i would make an array of the path you can take on the board. Either have each mc of a square stored or just the coords of the pieces as they rest on each square (if you just want to have the board...

Also submitted it to shockwave.com. What do you guys think? Is it shockwave worthy? Are there any...

mulitple objects just needs a test for each one. maybe a for loop with an array of your objects like:

for (var i=0; i<numObjects;i++)
if (this.hitTest(hitObject[i]){
...
...

if you're just gonna have four pictures, i would put it all in one movie.

As for when to use new scenes and movies, i tend to shy away from new scenes, as really all they're good for is...

Bwah ha ha ha hah ha *cough cough cough* ha!

Thanks! I'm just glad my wife has her own computer. ;)

don't need a "this." before the hitTest?

ah. that's what i was thinking. thanks.

thanks. i'm really pleased with it. (My wife is super-addicted. Bwah ha ha hah ha!) :)

Squize had a good idea for the preloader thing: having all the sounds in a separate .swf. It just seems...

If I do this:

var = new Array(2);
var[0] = new Array();
var[1] = new Array();

do I need to:

delete var[1];
delete var[2];

thanks. i was able to get around having to search for all the sounds by adding:
sound1 = _level1.sound1;
to the beginning for all the sounds.
probably not the best solution, but my wife is...
