speciality? can you get good using only ifs?
let me summerize the most commonly used statements by most flashers here:
if()
else
on(release)
gotoAndPlay()
onEnterFrame()
that's all, I guess

you want to make customisable characters... you're making it too hard for yourself!

i'd make a load of variables (one for each of the things you want) and put them in a GLOBAL ACTIONS layer

i'd do it like this

if(_root.shirt='green')
{
_root.guy.shirt.gotoAndStop("green");
else if (_root.shirt='red')
{
_root.guy.shirt.gotoAndStop("red");
}
if(_root.shorts='green')...

you get the gist

And to declare the variables, make the button that you choose with -
on(press)
{
_root.shirt='colour';
}



Correct me if i'm wrong flsg or eragon

lol

if statements are the most commonly used statement in ANY coding language which has relatively the same syntax (php etc.)

i think flsg may be playing around with you lol - just maybe...

i mean, AQ must use so many if statements it could be the professor's what if machine

althorne: that's still hardcoding lol
why don't you just use:
_root.guy.shirt.gotoAndStop(_root.shirt); ?

btnRoll.onRelease = function(){
die = Math.ceil(Math.random() * 20);
enemyHP = enemyHP - die;

SirSchmoopy: OMGOMGOMGOMGOMG
that's what eragon and I have been trying to tell you since the beginning, ............
also, use Math.floor() instead

edit: could someone PLEASE help me to make a parabola thing in AS where you can control the distance and the height of the curve, I figured it out once, but now I can't find the file back and I'm too stupid in physics

Sure man, thats funny 'cause I just figured out how to do that.

Just have a function that draws a point on X,Y and increments X,Y by

Y = C(X*X) + B

Oh wait, that needs finagling cause flash is retarded and our coordinate grid is inverted.

Something that I'm not sure is helpful or not (that I just realized) is that the scripting language you are using is almost, almost exactly like Javascript. :P

If you're having problems with it, try googling Dynamicdrive . It's a great Javascript site, possibly with some links to Flash tutorials.

Malagrond: lol, of course AS is like JS, they both use the same scripting engine, ECMAScript

Schmoopy or whatever: Use int() instead of Math.floor(). It's slightly faster. And easier to type. lol

SirSchmoopy: no offense, but codes are suppose to work this way. This is EXACTLY why I disrecommand the tutorials where they tell you to copy/paste codes, because you learn nothing from it
if this is a descovery, then I'm making 10+ discoveries every day when I use flash, and I could be a genius >_<

Peter: It's not really good to use _global a lot as you run into many scope problems later on. Also, you shouldn't work with scenes but rather frames. In fact, experienced users fit all their game/code on one frame.


doing that just made things worse.
