mathius- um, it may be a little hard but post them here or in my actual thread and i'll tell you how to improve your drawings, not each and everyone but if you want to know like"how do you draw trees/rocks/grass/etc blue?" then i could try to draw one and you learn from it

arc- lol, problem is there are more AS questions rather than graphics ones, so i started it but zoltan, flsg, and somebody621 keep it going

EDIT box:
OMG how can i be so so.. dimwitted i can just simply make the enemy a button that when you press him he dies!(though im not sure if it'll work due to the "startDrag("", true);Mouse.hide(); " function. ill try it!)

EDIT EDIT:Nope it did not work

ORIGINAL: mathus the seconth

can anyone help me with the game im making? all the scripts ppl give me dont work. its a shooting game, like the one zoltan made, i have a bg, a gun with a crosshair, an enemy, and a bullet. the scripts on the gun are:

//gun replaces cursor.
onClipEvent (load) {
	
startDrag("", true);
	Mouse.hide();
}
//I made this section myself:
//when you press, the bullethole x & y = the gun x & y.
onClipEvent(mouseDown) {
	_root.bullethole._y = _root.gun._y;
	_root.bullethole._x = _root.gun._x;
}

thats just about it.
now i need u to teach me how to make scorecount, reload, and hittest between the bullet and the enemy (if u can of course) ill upload a file of what i have later.

EDIT: here is what i have so far.

timebomb

(turn up the volume music by me, thanks to http://www.ctcmix.com, i found this site on a cereal box lol long time ago.)

u should try this hoster: http://www.badongo.com/, it can take 1 gig files!!!!, thats AMAZING.

EDIT EDIT: I fixed the script,
Before --->

on (press) {

After --->

onClipEvent(mouseDown) {

it makes it go much smoother.

_root.enemy_mc.onPress=function(){
   this.gotoAndPlay("dead")
}

for(var i=0; i<10; i++){
duplicateMovieClip("enemy_mc", "enemy_mc_"+i, i+10)
_root["enemy_mc_"+i]._x=random(Stage.width)
_root["enemy_mc_"+i]._Y=random(Stage.height)
}

//MovieClip event handler, activate when the mouse is pressed
onClipEvent (mouseDown) {
//check if this MC is pressed
	this.onPress = function() {
		this.gotoAndPlay("dead");
	};
}

stageheight = Stage.height+1;
//+ 1 just for random positions
stagewidth = Stage.width+1;
enemynum=[0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14];
//fifteen enemies: The number is stored in an array
for(var i in enemynum){
//every time the loop passes through a number in an array; starts from 0
duplicateMovieClip("enemy", "enemy"+i, i + 1000);
var enemy = _root["enemy" + i];
//just basicly rename the enemy for quick access
//duplicate the enemy movie clip.  It's new name would be enemy + i(say i was 0, enemy name would be enemy0),
// depth(how close it is to you) is i + 1000(do the math)
ob.zpos = int(Math.random()*(stageheight)-0.01);
//Math.random() returns a number between 1 and 0 randomly. int rounds down like Math.floor, but is faster.
ob._y = ob.zpos;
//declare the x of ob.  This, of course is assuming that the enemy drawing is in the middle of the movie clip
ob.swapDepths(ob.zpos+1000);
//swaps the depth depending on the enemy's y position. closer the enemy, higher the depth
ob.xpos = it(Math.random()*(stagewidth)-0.01);
//the random x position
}
