Flash game help!

I work as a graphic designer (mainly the print and web) for a large company. I have no formal training with flash, but I'm looking for a project to go with.  About 4 years ago my company out-source a Flash game before I was hired.

I was wondering how it would be difficult to take this flash game and 'Refresh' now. It was a driving game very simple with a few limits on collisions, and others. I want to take it and make it much prettier and try to make it work better...

Some advice... advice... Links to useful tutorials... or a head up I get in way over my head would be great!

Thank you!!

Regarding the look more pleasant aspect goes, you probably arrived that, once you gain some familiarity with the file and the user of Flash interface.  For the best part of work, you can be climbing in over your head, especially if you have no programming experience.

Your best bet will be to make sure that you keep the original and only work from copies.  This way you can experiment without fear of losing what works now (to whatever degree it serves).

  • NEED HELP WITH FLASH GAME!

    Hi all

    I am brand new to the forums here and I need help!  I'm on a very tight schedule for a flash game project, and can't seem to understand my problem.

    In my game of people shoot 4 different moving images and get points. Simple right? Although images is a question mark that can shoot people and when they do, I need flash to stop the timer game, a new popup window, the multiple choice question appear in the window and wait for the user to respond.

    NOTE: I would also like to be able to customize the size and location of the pop-up window!  Also, the question must be random.  I have a list of questions in a word doc.

    Then, if the answer to the question properly close window award 10 points and continue the game.  If you incorrectly answer the question, saying bad and then display the results of end game.

    Right now I have it to where it opens a pop up in a web browser and askes the question there.  The question is chosen at random from a file called random.html.  But I don't want the game to work this way. I want the game to open the pop in flash.  Can anyone help?  Time is a few hours, SORRY for THE SHORT NOTICE!

    Everything to do with the movieclip is possible.  You can make sure the questions are changed dynamically whenever he appears... but it is a matter of design to be.  This has nothing to do with the popups... This is a clip that you can control the visibility of and what it contains.  In the Flash file will probably be easier to manage than a popup window outside, as far as the aspect programming and scoring goes.

    Create a movieclip that has a textfield for the question, and all what he needs in the way of user interaction.  Unfortunately, I didn't take the time to give a detailed approach to design.  If you manage to create a shooting game, creating a movieclip which works as you describe should be a fairly simple task for you.

  • Help flash game - destroy enemies by moving above them

    Hello

    I want to make a flash game where the aim of the game is to move some objects with your arrow keys.

    When you move objects, I want them to die (disappear) but I don't know how to do this.

    If anyone has answers help would be much appreciated!

    Thank you

    Sorry, my mistake. To check if an object on the stage has hit another, you can use hitTestObject() in AS2 or hitTest() in AS2. There are examples of the use of one in the online help.

  • Using 'Help of Flash' to help make the flash game?

    I am trying to learn flash so that I can make flash games.  I intend to get their sponsored game portals and attach them to MochiAds - so, technically, it's commercial, Yes?

    This means so I can't use 'Help of Flash' or publications in the adobe Flash Developer Center to learn how to use the actionscripts?

    Of course I do not plan to outright copy - paste codes, but it would be nice if I could adapt and learn how things work.  Sometimes I'm stuck and I need a reference...  The last thing I want is to get into copyright problems.

  • Flash game display images

    I noticed that lately I have experience of shifts in game flash animations. Would it be because of a faulty graphics card?

    In addition, after noticing the game frozen images, I opened the CPU Panel and checked the video card. I soon perceived that the fan on the video card is not working.

    I hope that anyone with this experience can give advice. Thank you.

    a. you are trying to play games online, by chance?

    b. the issue of delay occur with all games?

    The following article contains solutions to some common problems when playing games. For more information about problems with a specific game, see the documentation supplied with the game or go to the website of the Publisher of the game:

    If, indeed, the graphics of the (video) card is defective, that could be the reason for the shift with animations flash games.

    In this case, the best option would be to contact the manufacturer of the graphics card for further assistance.

    I hope this helps.

  • Windows 7 64 bit computer crashes when loading flash games or during video playback, forcing a manual reboot.

    My computer freezes completely at random times while playing the flash games or watching videos. In this case the mouse and keyboard stop working. If this happens during the video with sound, it makes a noise very loud signal blocked by speakers that continues until I restart the computer. The only way to recover is to manually restart the computer with the reset button.

  • Flash game man of snow - moving ojbects possible?

    Hello world

    Have you ever met Flash games at Christmas time, where kids can build a snowman, by moving the graphics on the screen...

    e.g. to move the balls of snow in place, add a carrot for the nose, move the eyes in place etc.

    something lke this:

    http://www.Flash-game.NET/game/1482/create-a-snowman.html

    All the graphic elements are generally in an area of the game, and the children move just in place.  These are some Flash games and flash has the ability to do it,

    does anyone know if Flash Catalyst is able to do this also?

    Thanks for any help anyone!

    Hi David,

    Currently, drag and drop interactions cannot be created using Flash Catalyst alone.  But there are two ways you can use Flash Builder in association with Flash Catalyst to build an app like this:

    1. Prototype of the app in the catalyst, then import it in Builder and in are writing code, add the behavior of dragging parts.  Disadvantage: you will not be able to open the project in catalyst after edit it in Builder; to make further changes using catalyst, you will need to change the old copy of the project and then use generator to merge updates into the new copy.
    2. The next versions of the catalyst and Builder, code name "Panini" and "Burrito", allow you to create a custom in Builder behavior attribute the work to this behavior directly within catalyst (and continue in catalyst for editing afterwards).  Early versions overview of these products are currently available if you want to try this.

    Hope that helps!

  • Flash game High Scores Board

    Hi all

    I know that it is a topic that covers a lot because I have seen a ton of tutorials which show of the dfferent 1 million ways to create a High Council mark on a flash game.  So I decided to go out on a limb and pick a tutorial to try.  Well I tried 3 different ones now and have yet to get a High Council with my game scores.

    http://www.flashkit.com/tutorials/games/How_to_c-Nick_Kuh-771/index.php

    This is the link to the latest attempts to creat my high scores Board.  When I finished all the way the tutorial said it seemed that everything would work and then it just didn't.  After spending oh about 40 more hours trying to make a high scores Board I am getting very frustrated.  My game is scripted in AS2 and I have access to mysql and can implement unlimited databases.

    Can someone help me please by sending an easy to follow tutorial will work with AS2?  I just like any type of help right now because I think that ALL my valid ideas would be ehausted.  Thanks in advance to anyone who can help!

    Focus on using the LoadVars class rather than the loadVariables method.  Try searching Google using "AS2 LoadVars tutorial".  Here is a link that research...

  • Use of the processor in the Flash games

    I blocked Flash Player for most websites, because of previous issues of CPU, including several ads and banners on the same page. Video clips stumble along, but take 100% of CPU resources. This isn't the issue, however. The problem is that simply doesn't work in a way that is useful to all. Games flash of a complexity that my old C64 since the beginning of the 1980s can smoothly handle seems to require more power of CPU that my PC can provide. While it is a bit unfair, because these Flash games are multiplayer and requires the use of network, this is another one. Several 3D with a much higher resolution of MMPORG play smoothly enough; Games with low resolution 2D race and character jump takes 100% of CPU, and it's still not enough to satisfy players Flash! It simply undermines my last ounce of faith in Adobe, especially when I see so many other similar problems. I urge Adobe to focus on this staff.

    Data sheet:

    Athlon XP 2800 GHz 2,075

    1 GB OF RAM

    GeForce FX5900

    Firefox 3.0.8

    Flash Player version 10,0,22,87

    Recently, I uninstalled Flash Player, clensed HD and the Windows registry and reinstalled Flash Player. This had no effect.

    The specs of my PC was not impressive for a long time, but still: I think he should beat the shit out of a C64. When he's not, I get excited.

    If anyone can help me with this problem, I will be grateful.

    The problem you described looks like it is related to these basic elements of bug. There are creative workaround solutions... but the cause seems to be built around pace handling Flash Player 10.

  • Losing flash game saves during the deletion of cookies.

    Since I've updated my firefox version 8.0.1, it free of my flash LSO every time I clear my cookies. That's fine if I wasn't playing flash games on sites like sudokuz.eu. Unfortunately, this translates to losing me my flash parties recorded whenever I have clear my cookies. I make a habit to erase any of my recent history; cookies, cache, etc. This change is destructive for me, because I want to keep some of my flash LSO all in compensation to all my web cookies. Is there some kind of workaround, or better yet, firefox will never erase flash LSO a separate option instead of just their agglutination with "cookies"?

    Don't use not clear recent history to clear cookies, but do it manually in the Cookie Manager.

    Someone had this problem? The arrow keys on my keyboard do not work when I play flash games. Have downloaded the latest version of adobe, but not luck. Is it sounds like a hardware problem? What is the best way to thing to work around this problem?

    For me it has nothing to do with a malfunction of the equipment. If you can use the arrow keys in Windows or any application there absolutely no problem with the keyboard or something similar.

    Maybe is this result of the issue of the restriction of game control.
