help attaching clips

[Reginald]

right, ive started to make an RPG game about an hospital. Ive only just started but i have a problem.
When the game enters the battle frame, i can't get it to load a movieclip

And i put a code on it so it swaps depths with the y position it is at, but since ive done this it keeps makin multiple versions of it when i go to other frames

anyone help or try fix this please?

thanks

Don't take this bad ;)

But the way you have your code new you will be langer buging and you might ever never be able the bug it all.
I wound make some functions of thing you use more offen and keep you AS more together by makeing a layer (call it AS or some thing) for code only. And take it one step at a time.


again don't take this bad. :)

[Reginald]

i know i should but this is my first time makin anything thats quite big, im bound to have a bit dodgy a code, but ill be able to learn from it and if i do it again, re do the code.

This is really only a tryout thing, id be redoing the coding after

I still need my questions asking however

cheers for the input btw

ok i think i found whats wrong ;)

when you use swapdepth() you put the MC on a new layer systeem. so if you:

put a mc on the frist and second frame.
then if you swaped the depth of the mc. and then play the movie to frame 3 where in your time line your mc does not exist, but you will still see the mc!?! why? well the moment you used swapdepth it got taken of the layer it was on in your time line and put on the new layersysteem where the mc will stay till you delete it with removeMovie()

so why is it duplicating? well then you goto room two all is fine but if you go back is goes wrong. room 1 is on the same frame where the doc shows up in the maintimeline. normally flash then over writes doc but because you swaped the depth of the doc, flash does not overwite but just makes a new one.

how it solve: i would have the doc show up on frame one and have the room after that and never go back the frame one.

sorry for the spelling misstakes :P

I could do that, but it wouldnt be a very good game.
