As: Main

[Olly]

Hey all, please can someone give me the actionscript for this....
Ive got a tune called 'theme' and ive added it to my frame using this code:

bgSound = new Sound(this);
bgSound.attachSound("theme");

Can someone give me the code for on key press 'm' for the tune to mute and then come back when pressed again. This is for a mute button.

Thank you verymuch!

this is a copy and paste from my last post here...

oh, and another idea for a thread (or can you direct me towards it) would be on random apearing enemies, for e.g they appear every so often just off screen, then come on.

and another on random appearance, for e.g in a shooter game you have a man positioned behind a box, when ones dead, another will appear after a certain amount of time.
--could these be in the same topic?

thanks for any replies

sorry for any dumb questions regarding AS, im just trying to learn it.

}
}

that might work

Hi everyone, I'm making a new tutorial Called "Ultimate Update Tutorial" I'm going to be updateing it from time to time so people can use it as a referance.

I'm wanting to include an actionscript referance as well and I was wondering if I can take the info on AS main and use it if I give credit to the authors of the respective tutorials

It won't be done all at once but over several updates. It would include samples of how the tutorials work. But the only thing is I would also need an explanation of how and why things work...

I don't want to make a Copy and Paste the actionscript tutorial. I want to explain it so people learn rather than steal the script.

if you would like to see the design of the tutorial so far you can check it out here...

Thanks.

Please email me if you are on board. I'll check this forum too.

Jacksmack.

You have alot of them! Thanks... I guess I'll have to get most of yours done before I can release the tutorial. That should be enough info for a good start.

If I have any questions on how to explain something I'll get in contact with you.

[Inglor]

why isn't "APIT" in the special projects section?

Because it's not really a demonstration of how to use AS, it's more of a tool

[Inglor]

67... we ran out of topics :P

kipling, since you suggested that I wrote a new AS: Variables tutorial, I started doing so. Anyway, I thought I'd ask Denvish and you other people: Do you want a new tutorial for variables? I'll go through Strict Data Typing and such. I just want to make sure, I don't want to write it and get rejected.

Yes please do the old one is SHIT
But inglor might already be making one
I say make one anyways

[Inglor]

Inglor is too bloody lazy

just cover:

correct decleration of vars
properties
attributes
local vars
global vars
how to access a variable

explain that a movieclip is actually also a variable type

and expend on everything, and explain what a variable is, toast didn't.

Ok, I'll just get on with it then!

[Rantzien]

Oh, I just discovered there is no tutorial (as far as I can see) for the Flash hierarchy, and it's the most elementary AS knowledge. Someone should make that. Not me though, one is enough.

[Inglor]

I made over 25, I have my excuse for not making it, I agree it should be made though.

You're excused.

Now go to your room.

this topic needs to be a sticky

[Rantzien]

Damn, this tutorial writing business is HARD.

Yeah thats true
And writing tutorials is quite hard sometimes because though you know it its hard to explain to a n00b

[Rantzien]

It's up now, here.

If you have complaints or additions, either add it to the thread, or if the change is major, I could make a new thread with the new version.

Not a very big topic, but here are my recommendations on what should be done next:
AS: Hierarchy
AS: Classes

Classes have already been covered by inglor in OOP (obviously)
I agree with AS: Hierarchy

Oops.

[GuitarHero07]
