thnx in advance

[Ravmaster]

The download's stuffed

why not make it change vars or totally different frames when you do it, like megamans stuff is on frame 1 -8 (mc) and from 9-XX (same mc) is someone else. That would help it work.

i thought of that but it might get me confused ill put up the d/l again

the d/l works :s

Can you just attach it on the forum?

[Ravmaster]

its too big to be attached soz :(

[optixburn]

your code should look something like this

inside your character selecter movieClip
all of these :

character = "character_name";

should be like this :

_parent.character = "character_name";


all enemy variable calls inside of the enemy selecter movieClip need to change to _parent.enemy like character varaible calls

instead of = (1 = assigns a value) you need == (2 ='s compairs two values)
//

// frame 5 character thingy
onClipEvent (load) {
// parents needed because the character thingy movieClip
// doesn't know what character is ...
// so you have to go up one level outside of the movieClip
// to grab the character variable
if (_parent.character == "megaman") {
this.gotoAndStop(1);
}
if (_parent.character == "bass") {
this.gotoAndStop(2);
}
}


hope this helps

ok i understand and im gonna try it now thnx ;)

thnk you!!!! it work ;) thnx m8

[nathan99]

Or... you could give the player frames labels like "megaman", "bass" etc

and on the frame put:


player.gotoAndStop(character);

[Ravmaster]

ya but i think that one would take longer so i referred to this method...

[nathan99]
