Wow. The Armor Games " Flash Help " ( well it's called that in other fourms on other sites ) section is the best!!


On page 1 ( On Alsages code ) what numbers do i need to put for X and Y? is it to choose where he starts at the start of a new room?

OMG NOTHING IS WORKING THIS IS SO DARN ANNOYING!!!!! I am offically the worst coder ever.

Send a print screen :P

Lol, You ain't the worst coder, you just need practice. For the starting positions when you change rooms, if you enter a door on the left, make x the stage width - character width/2(if centered) (this number doesnt need to be calculated while the game is running). Same goes for bottom, but with y and height. For top and right doors, use _x = _width/2 (or y and height)

Bump, somebody HALP.

Though it's been a while since I've coded AS2, I hope I can give some tips.

- for debugging, trace is your biggest friend, especially in AS2.
- since you need hittesting, try and see if that hittest works. You can write a buttload of code, but if the initiation is wonky, it won't work anyway.
- are you sure the code is executed at all? Just insert a trace("the function works" or something in it, that should give you a clue.
- you probably need to check every frame... so did you encapsulate your code in an onEnterFrame function?

Let me know if it gets you anywhere

Hay i finally got it! no thanks to you guys sadly...

oh well i guess i'll still put this in the credits:

" And thanks to all those AG guys on the Programming Help Fourm for helping "

So ya. I understood it alot better from: Emanuele Feronato... she's got her own flash tutorial site you know.

I put it together very quickly but looks like you solved it before I uploaded it. Check it out anyways. http://3dmitchell.com/freeDL/gametutFLASH8.swf

The FLA is in flash 8 format.

plasmafish, I liked that. Not because of the level thing (I could do that), but you taught me how to make my movement to the next level not look so...terrible. Thanks!

stop();

onEnterFrame = function(){
if(_root.character.hitTest(_root.door)){
gotoAndStop(2);
}
}
