Good question, i dont know how to zoom... But if ur making A sniper game, i could explain how to make that u only see a part of the screen, like Snipe Justin Timberlake by TomFulp and Luis.

Probably with some serious masking...

But that way is too tedious. It also might not help alot with making complex shapes. Either way you'd still be defining points which is what you do with hitTest so its kind of pointless in my opinion.
(Yo star_cleaver, I added u 2 my buddy list if u don't mind. Ur a good actionscripter too, maybe we could make a game together some day)
What on aim? or msn? I'm guessing aim since that's what i have listed in my profile. And with the game idea, maybe, i'm first going to make a project with a friend of mine who is an artist then we'll see, i'm not going to make any promises yet=)

Hey does that book tell u the action scipts and explain them or tell u how to do soemthing (like make somehting random apear or soemthing) or do u have to make the codes urself.And i was wonder in is there anyaction scipt to load random scenes ... like the first scene starts off then theres a random load thing andn scene 2 , 3, or 4 is loaded (for a game) or set it so guys r put in random (but set spots).
Man I'm such a dumbass! Sorry. eviLudy already answered my question but I didnt see it. and Just in case I wanna know if by any chance the code will be effected if there is a scrolling background. Because my game is 2d platformer with scrolling background.
sorry again for being harsh.
Greetings All,
This may apply to this topic and it may not.
I am not trying to make a game :(. What I am trying to do is mimic tshirtsthatsuck.com top menu where the tshirt icon flows from menu item, to menu item.
I bought a couple of flash books, and left them at work and really dont want to wait until tomorrow to start on this.
In my mind... (meaning this is as I understand it)
I need roughly 5 different buttons, that when I put my mouse over them (see tshirtsthatsuck.com) an icon follows the mouse.
Is the way they did that all in actionscript? do i need to give up on the "button" functionality or do I incorporate both?
Any help would be appreciated, I really want to learn what the hell i'm doing.
Thanks!

I hear there's a way to move objects using actionscript instead of tweened animation. What's the code for that?

yup there's a way of moving objects with Actionscript, convert the object to movieclip(duh) and then script!
But the script depends on what kind of movement you want, here is a little somthing:
keep moving to right:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
this._x += speed;
}
onClipEvent (load) {
speed=10;
}
Keep moving to left:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
this._x -= speed;
}
onClipEvent (load) {
speed=10;
}
Move right, and then left and again:
onClipEvent (load) {
speed=8;
xposi =0;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (_root.xpts < 20) {
this._x += speed;
_root.xpts += 1;
}
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (_root.xpts >= 20) {
this._x -= speed;
this._x -= speed;
_root.xposi -= 1;
}
if (_root.xposi <= -20) {
_root.xpts=0;
_root.xposi =0;
}
}
In all three scripts you can change the moving speed by changing the number in
speed=8;

My book mostly explains all the acions (it explains like this:
_visible
this true or false value(boolean) tells if a object is visible or not.
But there are about 3 tutorials in my book (1. How to use compoments, 2. How to use Math.Random, 3. How to use actionscript to rotate a object)
The rest of The scripts I must script myself
Okay people, this message is for the ones that have played my criminality version 2.
Version 3 is almost done now, and im searching for testers. I seek about 15 testers for my game, and 3 have already been found.
If any of you guys want to be a tester for criminality V.3 then act quick and post here or email me.
Off course the testers will be in the credits.
List of found testers:
1. ZipCase
2. Stillo3
3. Zip-McNish
Remember, act fast, if I've found 15 there are no places anymore.

Yeah, sure, I'd love to be a tester, I liked the previous games, all I have to do is test the game, look for bugs and then report to you, right?

What the heck. I'll do it, if you have room left. AIM: Lord Aba69

Alright. Earlier you explained how you make a game where you can pick up an item, and it goes into an item slot. I'm going to make a game, and after you find like 4 items, (and they goto a slot) the game goes to, say, scene 2. Is there a script to do that? just a simple onclipevent or something. Someone please help? thanks.

Thats 6 already, Ill be finishing it today or tomorrow.
OK criminality 3 is finished, but there's probably a load of bugs in it so it isnt going to be submitted yet, ill mail the testers a file to play it and instructions of wat to do.
6 testers is enough.

i made this when helping the person who made the thread "randomability" or somethin like that. thought it may be a bit useful here... maybe.
why couldnt you just ask for one, it all gets really confusing. but i'll give you some answers...
okay, make a movieclip with 5 frames, each frame different. make another layer in the frame, and put the action stop(); in the layer going throughout all the frames.
onClipEvent (load) {
this.gotoAndStop(random(5));
_x = random(525);
_y = random(375);
xmov = random(20);
ymov = random(20);
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
_x += xmov;
_y += ymov;
if (_x>525) {
xmov = random(20)*-1;
} else if (_x<25) {
xmov = random(20);
} else if (_y<25) {
ymov = random(20);
} else if (_y>375) {
ymov = random(20)*-1;
}
}

Hey! thats a pretty cool script, since in the "TOP SECRET PROJECT" of mine wich im working on now a lot of randomizing is needed.
(Its not another criminality)
Hey eviLudy you know the code you gave me for the movement thing on the enemies. well I have a scrolling bacgroung and the enemy has to scroll to so the code gets messed up when it scrolls, can you help.
Damn it I'm getting tired of this, I posted with inforcer's account again, why doesnt that bitch just log out when he's done! So what inforcer said is what I was suppose to say, K.
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
// right
if (Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)) {
_rotation = _rotation+move;
}
// left
if (Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)) {
_rotation = _rotation-move;
}
// up
if (Key.isDown(Key.UP)) {
if (move<8) {
move++;
}
} else if (move>0) {
move--;
}
// down
if (Key.isDown(Key.DOWN)) {
if (move>-10) {
move--;
}
} else if (move<0) {
move++;
}
// enter
if (Key.isDown(Key.ENTER)) {
_x = 200;
_y = 200;
_rotation = 0;
move = 0;
}
// _x & _y position
if (_rotation>180) {
_y = _y+(move*Math.cos(Math.PI/180*_rotation));
_x = _x-(move*Math.sin(Math.PI/180*_rotation));
}
if (_rotation<180) {
_y = _y-(move*Math.cos(Math.PI/180*_rotation));
_x = _x+(move*Math.sin(Math.PI/180*_rotation));
}make an exellnt car game with it.
Sorry for posting again, but Can someone tell me how to do this?

Easy, just add this very small piece of script to the script where the item is picked up:
gotoAndStop("scene2", 1);

Changing the appearance of a movieclip in actionscript:
Changing alpha (trancpencety)with actionscript:
onClipEvent (load) {
value=50;
this._alpha=value;
}
(you can change the variable value into somthing else for more or less alpha)
_______________________________________
Rotating an object in actionscript.
onClipEvent (load) {
value=90;
this._rotation=value;
}
(you can change the variable value into somthing else for more or less degrees of rotation)
_______________________________________
Making an object bigger with actionscript.
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
value=1;
this._height += value;
this._width += value;
}
(you can change the variable value into somthing else for sizing faster or slower)
