OMG, someone posted?! Impossible lol
Myhos: if it stays with the pointer, how can it point to the direction of the pointer? I don't understand lol...

What i mean is that the object points toward the pointer and if you move your mouse then the pointer will still point in the the direction of mouse

ex:

(pointer be here)---> mouse be here



//Now i move the mouse up:



Mouse be here

(pointer be here) ^

Thats less scripting and more trigonometry.
So it's going to be hard. Trust me, deriving trigonometric equations isn't fun...did it by accident once when I was trying to do rotation with VBA and PowerPoint. Had to keep a line the same length as I rotated it...by moving the endpoint around. Hell.

once I saw a method in the Math class that simplifies lots of things...just enter some x and y coordinations and it gives you the angle...forgot which...
I'm going to check it

pfft
Math.atan2(mouse's x - pointer's x, mouse's y - pointer's y);
Convert that angle from radians into degrees, and there you go.

SirSchmoopy: what? XD
I think you mean get a series of unique random numbers right?
create an empty array, each time you get a random number, check if there's already this number in the array, if not, put it in the array, else, re-generate another number

 no, i mean, lets say theres the number 100. it rolls a number, lets say 2. then it subtracts the number 2 from it and makes it 98. however, i dont want to right a code where it says when the number is 2 or sumtin, minus 2 from 100, for every single number that exsists.

dominic_r_monroe: what's a pure fact?
SirSchmoopy: wow, the question was far simpler than I thought...
why don't you just put the result in a textfield? Perhaps I still don't understand the question...

like programming, drawing needs practice too, here:(I'm too lazy to find the good site, sorry)

lets say there's a monster. above him is a dynamic text for his hp. when i generate the random number, it subtracts that number from his hp. but, i dont want to write for every number, a code saying minus this certain amount from the hp.

SirSchmoopy: then why don't you just use monsterHp-=random(MaxNumber)?

just replace the number by the max number value+1
why don't you check the actionscript help documentation?

All right what he means is that you have a variable called monster HP

so you need to put in the key frame: 

 var monsterHp = 100;
monsterHp -= random (99) +1;


now what the code says is "New Variable called monsterHp which is = to the value of 100. now - it by a random number between 0 and 99 and add the value of 1 to it"

Or even better would be: 

 var monsterHp = random (99) +1

I am working on an AQ style RPG and for monsters I just made one big movie clip with all of them in it and put the following code.

this.onEnterFrame = function(){
if(_global.ename == "mon1"){ //if the enemy's name is something...
this.gotoAndStop(1) //goto the frame of the movie clip with that monster on it.
}if(_global.ename == "mon2"){ //repeat
this.gotoAndStop(2)
}if(_global.ename == "mon3"){
this.gotoAndStop(3)
}...
}

when I have the movie clip in a scene, the movie goes back to the begining.

dominic_r_monroe: lol if Althorne sees this he'll never talk to you again lol
petermaxo: wow, I didn't understand the problem, but I know that you won't get far with this code(no offense)
first of all, what is the "this" you refers to? the code can't be on a movieclip, since you'll need to use "onClipEvent(enterFrame)"
which means that the "this" you're refering can't be the mc, so of course when you write this.gotoAndStop(frame), the movieclip doesn't do the action...

second, why would you want to use onEnterFrame? Isn't putting the mc to the right frame once enough? You're telling the mc to go to the desired frame each 1/12 seconds(or 1/24, depend on your FPS)

third, if you thought a little bit, this code will NEVER work. Imagine if AQ used your way. 600+ monsters means 600+ if()? No way.

lol, flsg just tore yo method apart.
Just kidding. But yeah...no go, man, no go.

Instead...give each frame the name of the monster (say its "monster1")
Then, when the monster name is given, say gotoAndStop(monstername)
