For a game I am making, I would like explosions to take "chunks" out of a movieclip. I don't know if this is even possible in flash, but if it is, can someone point me to a tutorial or explain to me how to do it? If you don't know what I mean, I can find you an example of a flash game that does this. Since I have seen it done in flash games, I have reason to believe that it is possible. Thanks for the help.
I believe the games you have seen that have done it were most likely programmed from scratch. Meaning that there is no way to copy and paste code to achieve that effect.
You need to read a large flash book on actionscript and fully understand how to use and manipulate it to be able to do something from scratch.
I did a little searching and could not find a tutorial on what you wanted in a short period of time. You are either going to have to up your flash skills or do extensive searching and find a tutorial/fla.
To add on that note, I made a brick like in Super Mario that broke when the character hit it. The brick had 10 pieces that I animated and each one had to be animated itself. Meaning each motion tween was on a separate layer. It was tedious but the end effect met what I had wanted to achieve.
