Okay, when I read about codes and programming actionscript onto a movieclip or whatever, Actionscript 2 allows you to actually put the script ON the object.
For example, if you wanted to move the character right, you'd click on the object FIRST and then place the codes right?
But I'm using Actionscript 3.0, and that isn't allowed since if its going to be a big project it'll be really hard to find specific codes.
So I googled or binged, and found that I'd have to click on the frame, and THEN place the code. But If I want to place a code on the object, how do I reference the code TOthe object?
Yes i've read the articles on as3, I couldn't find the bit on what I was trying to find though.
mcname.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clicked) function clicked (lolz i forgot this part but close to or maybe MouseEvent:void){ MovieClip(parent).gotoAndPlay(3);
But if I want to remove the CLICK because I just want to refer that I'm typing the code that is related to the mcmovieclip, do I just delete the CLICK part?
if you want the object to change when you do something you do this:
nameofmc.addEventListener(*put event type here eg. MouseEvent,TimerEvent, Keyboard Event*.*event goes here eg. CLICK, KEY_UP,ROLL_OUT*,*event handler function*)
then the event handler: function eventhandlername(e:*whatever event type u used*):void{ reaction code goes here }
so... you set up an event listener for the Movie Clip which will do the function specified when the event happens!
oh, and if its a big project then don't make the same mistake as me. You don't really know the code, you ask other people, you mess around with the code they give you, you ask again. I did that and had to stop the project a month later. But then I said to myself: 'Right, I just got learn the code!' and I did. And now I'm making another project and didn't ask a single person!!
