Noob need help

Hi! Im new here, so, first of all, hello everybody! I have holidays at the moment and started with FlashMX 3 days ago. I started a little game and now, I have some questions.

1.There is the "Key.isDown()" command in the actionscript. Is there something similiar for the left Mousebutton?

2.I made a symbol with 2 frames. Is it possible to show frame 1 and then, when a button is pressed, change to frame 2?

3.How can I create a symbol during the movie (game), e.g. bullets or enemys?

4.Are variables global?

Thats all for the moment...
Hope you will help me...

1.There is the "Key.isDown()" command in the actionscript. Is there something similiar for the left Mousebutton?

code:

---

on(release)

---

or

code:

---

on(press)

---

2.I made a symbol with 2 frames. Is it possible to show frame 1 and then, when a button is pressed, change to frame 2?

In the actions panel for frame one place

code:

---

stop();

---

Also on frame one, create a button and place the following code in its actions panel:

code:

---

on(release){

_root.gotoAndPlay(2);

}

---

3.How can I create a symbol during the movie (game), e.g. bullets or enemys?

code:

---

onRelease.createEmptyClip = function();

//statements

---

4.Are variables global?

Only if you specifiy them to be global using:

code:

---

_global.variableName

---

Hope that helps.

thx a lot!
I think that helps, but, still i don't understand how point 3 works...

If you use that AS to create a global variable on the _root timeline it can be accessed from anywhere in your movie, whereas if you ignored the _global part it would have a limited life span and would eventually 'die'.
