shooting game

[alina]

I've been trying to follow a tutorial for a simple shooting game on http://www.video-animation.com/flash_12.shtml but was unable to get the "bullet" to replicate and shoot while i click. The only thing that happens is it launches one bullet when i test it but nothing else, has anyone else experienced this? I'm pretty sure I followed all the directions and copy/pasted the code into the actions area. Am i supposed to paste the the code to somehting other than the movie clips?

Instead of me guessing can you please post your FLA?

Theres atchully a downloadable fla with the tutorial ;)

If I downloaded the file from the tutorial there would be no problem so i couldn't help him. I want to see his code so I can find what's wrong with it.

oops, yea i probably should've done that, here you go: http://www.geocities.com/testb365/shootything.fla I tried downloading the tutorial and mine looks exactly the same except it doesn't work

You didn't name the bullet MC. Click on the bullet, and look at the properties panel. Where it says "<Instance Name>", type "bullet".

Then, after that, there's another problem. You didn't declare "bulletNum" in the code on the shooting thing, so it overwrites the old bullet everytime you click. add


bulletNum = 0;

to the onClipEvent(load) function.
