Hey, nice tutorial, it’s great..!

I’m having the same problem Bryce K was having

“Okay… ummm how do I say

enemy and enemy2.onEnterFrame = function() { ?
”

…

“nvm i found out how to do it”

I have a turret like object that fires bullets via attachMovie (shot1, shot2 shot3 etc) And I’m trying to create a missile-like object that will chase down the cursor.. I’m not sure if the movement from this tutorial will give the best effect but I just can’t understand how to get the rotation right..

Long story short I need to know what ‘Bryce K’ knows >:O

Any ideas?

Thanks for considering

How would I make it so when the enemy hits me, code is executed? I have tried various hitTests, I don’t know what to do. Thanks.

You could submit it to Newgrounds or deviantArt. Your flash needs to be “approved” on newgrounds though.

Or you could just upload it to Image Shack if you don’t want to have to register.

Here is a link that explains how to embed flash:

Sorry to throw this in here randomly, but I was wondering if there was a free site I could upload my completed flash games to, like a photobucket for flash type thing.

I was also wondering if someone could teach me how to embed them on a site.

Thanks muchly.

Or how about I just make the whole game for you?

Honestly you will never learn anything if I just give you the code. Open flash and have a try. If you don’t understand something hit F1 and search for what you need to know.
That’s how most people do it.

Awesty can you make a tutorial where i can learn to make a top-down shooter,or can you give me a code to where my enemy. follows my man but my man moves with the arrow-keys and when my enemy collides with my man my healthbar goes down…or you could just make a top-down shooter tutorial.

Thxnz

Try searching for the Pythagorean theorem, which can help you find if something is in a circular range of something else.

If you wanted the enemy to move left to right you could have something like:

enemySpd = 5;
onEnterFrame = function(){
enemy._x += enemySpd;
if(enemy._x < NUM || enemy._x > NUM){
enemySpd *= -1;
}
}

Put that on the frame and replace what needs to be replaced.

if(!circle.hitTest(square)){
stopDrag();
}else{
startDrag(etc…);
}
