No. I think shape tween is only for non-objects.



flsg -> RE: Flash Q&A Thread 4 (12/13/2007 19:47:52)

no you can't. Your object must be drawn directly and not converted into mc, bt or gr



TreadLight -> RE: Flash Q&A Thread 4 (12/13/2007 20:00:42)

Can someone please give me an explanation of how to actually use the Turn-Based Battle System tutorial (on front post)?

Edit: As many others, I'd like to attempt to make a flash battle system like AQ and DF.

I know, it's a little weird for me to even try to accomplish this, but I just want to learn more of flash usage.



EragonZZZZ -> RE: Flash Q&A Thread 4 (12/13/2007 21:09:24)

it can be converted into an object though. just use combine objects.

The tutorial is made for people with some knowledge of Flash.

Have you tried rolling over the Keyframes?



TreadLight -> RE: Flash Q&A Thread 4 (12/14/2007 6:08:16)

I have knowledge of flash, it's just that I don't get what any of it means :(

I rolled over the health keyframe, and it just shows "empty dynamic text" and yellow lines.

I don't know the code to put, and I don't know where I should put the health.

_

Also, I'd like to be able to engage in the battle right when I encounter the enemy's space in this.

By some knowledge i mean that know what Dynamic Textboxes are.



TreadLight -> RE: Flash Q&A Thread 4 (12/15/2007 8:38:56)

Dynamic textboxes are used to be copied and pasted and for larger writings.

But I can't used the dynamic textbox if I can't reach it!



flsg -> RE: Flash Q&A Thread 4 (12/15/2007 11:11:35)

TreadLight: humm...no, lol
for writings that doesn't change in the movie, you use static text
dynamic text can be changed during the movie and only by the programmer
input text can be changed by the viewer

so if you need to show the hp value you'll need to use dynamic text, with text wrap
to control the textbox, you need to give it a name for accessing
there are 2 options, give it an instance name or a variable name
instance name is at the left side, variable name is at the right side(in the property menu when you click the testbox)
to access with instance name:
_root.myTextBoxIName.text="blahblahblah"
to access with variable name, remove the ".text" part



SirSchmoopy -> RE: Flash Q&A Thread 4 (12/16/2007 21:13:02)

Cud i make movement by making squares, and stepping in 1 changes background?



tauguy -> RE: Flash Q&A Thread 4 (12/17/2007 14:42:37)

I woukd appreciate some product advice:

Is it worth the extra money buying CS3 or should I buy flash 8?
And where is the most reliable yet cheap place to buy said product?

thx
~tauguy



flsg -> RE: Flash Q&A Thread 4 (12/17/2007 17:12:43)

tauguy: depends. If you're a beginner and are too lazy to learn the advanced way to program things, buy 8
if you REALLY want to learn actionscript and not just use it for a month to make a game, buy CS3
no big differences in the animation part

dunno for the second question



tauguy -> RE: Flash Q&A Thread 4 (12/18/2007 11:40:08)

Ok thanks. Now that I know what the difference really is I can make a better decision.

Edit: Am I right that flash 8 doesnt have the timeline feature?

O_O

Flash is timeline-based animation :D
Silly you ^_^


Both versions of flash will have a timeline.

Silly me! Thanks.



Dragonlord Razielle -> RE: Flash Q&A Thread 4 (12/20/2007 23:17:20)

I have made a platform game where the character runs and jumps with the arrow keys, i was just wondering how i make it so that when i press left on the arrows the character sprite flips, as at the moment the sprite just moves right.

also at the moment i have an animation of the character running, but it plays constantly, i was wondering how to make it so that the animation only plays when i press left or right on the keys.

any help on this problem would be greatly appriciated[:D]

Razielle



flsg -> RE: Flash Q&A Thread 4 (12/21/2007 13:14:58)

see the documentation about stop(), play(), and gotoAndPlay()
I don't want to tell you the exact way because that'll steal the fun in AS



SirSchmoopy -> RE: Flash Q&A Thread 4 (12/26/2007 14:35:52)

flag or eragon: how wuld i make a code that sets the variable hp to 0 if its smaller theen 0?
i tried this but it sets hp to 0 and makes syntax errors:

if(_root.HP<=-0){
_root.HP=0;
}



flsg -> RE: Flash Q&A Thread 4 (12/27/2007 11:31:54)

SirSchmoopy: I think you've made a similar error before. I told you, -0 doesn't exist
just change it to a 0



Darklord517 -> RE: Flash Q&A Thread 4 (12/27/2007 13:00:14)

XD. Using -0 lol.



zenron the great -> RE: Flash Q&A Thread 4 (12/27/2007 13:06:51)

hey thanks this helped me alot.

I've got one question though, how do you convert an animation into something that can be actually uploaded normally

or just a site that you can upload .swf files on (without download)



Darklord517 -> RE: Flash Q&A Thread 4 (12/27/2007 13:18:12)

www.swfup.com

You mean to upload swf. files that you have made so others can see them?



EragonZZZZ -> RE: Flash Q&A Thread 4 (12/27/2007 13:36:29)

My new favorite number is -0.

And you can publish it as a .gif to use it as a sig :D
