  • All of the scripts in these videos are written in AS 2.0. That would explain why your'e having problems. I'm hoping to follow up with some new versions of these projects that explore AS 3.0 very soon.

  • Hey Rodney:

    I'd need to see the whole file to figure out what went wrong. What you are showing looks right.

  • You sure can. What you need to set up, however, is something to measure a 'hit event'. This would be a script that continuously monitors what's happening in a frame and the moment the two objects bump into one another a script is triggered to move the playback head to another frame.

    I can't show it here but my next video will provide an overview of a program which includes these features.

  • It appears that you attached your script to an object that isn't a movieclip. Double check the object you intend to be a movieclip and make certain it was converted to a movieclip.

  • i can't se what u are writing so cud u copy it and paste it her lika a comment i should be very happy then plz! =P

  • I would suggest reducing your monitor resolution a bit (make the picture bigger). I designed the original video to be visible and Just checked it out and I can read the script easily.

see all
