How to make an escape game in Flash CS4, CS5 (Part 1)

[gamemaker44]

[jimkokko5]

@gamemaker44 To find the scripts, you must enter the forums, dumbass.

For the Play button, doesn't work. (Cs5)

I used the text tool to write "Play" then converted it to a button, selected it, pressed F9, wrote the script, did the rest of the tutorial, then when I actually start it, I can't press Play. All it does is highlight, doesn't do anything on mouse release.

[jimkokko5]

@ramprire I don't think that I understand. I suggest this:

-Go inside the button (double-click)

-Create a keyframe for all frames of the button

That means that you have chosen a very thin font and you can't hit it with your mouse.

If that isn't your problem, try explaining it better.

I tried using a backfround from a video game background but it wont let me add any actions. Can you help me?

[jimkokko5]

@KirbyKlaim64 Do you mean that you can't add actions to the background or the arrows?

(recommend to divide objects in different layers)

[KirbyKlaim64]

@jimkokko5 actions to the backgrounds

[jimkokko5]

@KirbyKlaim64 It is probably an imaje (jpeg or png). Convert it to a symbol, then add the codes.

What am i hearing at 9:24?

[jimkokko5]

@sumosumo84 I don't know, it supposed to record only computer audio...

[sumosumo84]

Thanks so much!! This is just a great tutorial!! What i am hoping to do is learn the outline on how these games are built, and translate the code over to objective-c to make an iphone app. Once the app is out, i will definatly give you credit!!

[jimkokko5]

@sumosumo84 You 're welcome, thank you very much!

[Flaffen98]

[nazmi201]

[RecountHero]

would help with a voice over. Try finding some on google.

[jimkokko5]

@RecountHero I have a Mac, and I haven't found any free voice over app. If you want so much a voice over, help me by writing down a link.

[FlashUser95]

You have taken this idea from Flash8Games channel...

[sumosumo84]

@FlashUser95 are you talking about the idea of an escape game? Buddy, if you are, escape games have been out for a long time, and the reason for making this tutorial is to show everyone how to make them. There are already more than you know of, he is not copying anything.

[jimkokko5]

@sumosumo84 I am NOT copying anything, this may be the only way you can make an escape game.

[jimkokko5]

@FlashUser95 Wrong! And, btw, that is not even a complete tutorial...

[UziOunce]

How did you make your line tool have a crop to it?And how do you change the thickness of the line?

[Nickolakis21aek]

[jimkokko5]

@Nickolakis21aek No. Only with ActionScript 2.0

[Nickolakis21aek]

@jimkokko5 oh that sucks... i was planning to make one for the iphone and it uses actionscript 3.0...
