Why does the bullet not move?

In the Swf you can not see the bullet, it is off to the side.
Space = Shoot
Left & Right = Move
Down = duck
Up = stand up
Control = Reload(Doesnt work for the pistol only rifle)
(The bullet should only fire with the pistol standing up)
You can grab the rifle by walking over it then clicking the rifle picture at the top.

I was going to fix the game and than I looked at your code. Its realy bad. The hardest part about writing code is making the code understandalble and most important simple. When you write code like you did in this shoot out and your games have problems its almost imposible to fix. It would be fast to start over. Well I'm not just here to talk to you all day I made a small game that has tons less code than yours and dose more. Downloaded it and try to keep your code as simple as possible it saves time for everyone including you.

I have got no idea why it doesn't work. Your code looks fine.

Renaming the movie clip from "shoot" to "shooter" and changing the references to it in the "Laser" movie clip as such:

code:

---

onClipEvent (load) {

	laserMoveSpeed = 15;

	this.vx = _root.shooter.vx*laserMoveSpeed;

	this.vy = _root.shooter.vy*laserMoveSpeed;

	this._x = _root.shooter._x;

	this._y = _root.shooter._y;

}

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {

	this._y += this.vy;

	this._x += this.vx;

	if (_root.boundary.hitTest(_x, _y, true)) {

		this.removeMovieClip();

	}

}

---

fixes the problem, but I don't know why. Maybe Flash doesn't like the name "shoot"?

Well I cant open that file its not the same version of mx as mine.

The reason the code is confusing is because when i began the game I never planned on having as many things as i have. I just planned for walking/shooting animation and shooting, then I added bullets, another weapon, sounds, and ducking.

I could start over and probably get the shooting to work but then I would need to do the animations again which I am not good at, although I could copy the frames but I dont like doing that.
