Please Help - Simple Game action script

[Madras]

Can anyone help me in this game file.

I need to create a scene or a frame with a button.
When I click on the button the Game should start to play.

Since I am not able to upload the file please use this below link to access the FLA file


This is What I did:
I tried 1 space on the 1st key frame It didn’t work.
I also made a new scene created a button gave a action-script (go to) It didn’t work.

When I created the button (action-script go to next frame or next scene) and modifying the frame number in the action-script on the actual game key frames.

This is the Problem I am facing:
It doesn’t go to the last frame of the game (Last Frame - Click to play again)

My level in action-Script (Beginner- intermediate)


Thanks for the great help

I need to create a scene or a frame with a button.


I'm not really sure what you want to do, but this is not possible :-\
Can you be more specific in what you want to do?

[Madras]

Hi blah-de-blah,

Thanks for the reply & thank you very much for helping me.

Step 1
Basically I want to create a button. The Button should say Click to Play the GAME

So when Click on the Button --- Step 2

Step 2
The Game should start playing.


I did the step one
But the game does not play good.
That is if you miss the ball in the game it does not go the last frame (play again)


In the original game(before making the button):
When you miss the ball it goes to last fame (play again).


I am sorry for some reason I am not able to the load the working file (FLA).

Can you Please download the file from the below site link.
and test on the file.

Thanks Again for helping me.

[blah-de-blah]

So you jsut want a button to make the game go to the last scene?? I tried downloading your thing, but i can't access the site :-\

Does this code work?


on (release) {
_root.gotoAndPlay (123)
}


Doesn't that work? where 123 is the frame number

Hi blah-de-blah,

Thanks for the reply & thank you very much for helping me. I am sorry for late response we lost the power supply I am sure you would have heard about Major Blackout.

please don't KILL ME. I am sorry to mention I think my explanation was not correct. I really like to apologize.

What I really wanted to do is create a CLICK HERE START TO PLAY BUTTON before the game.

I know the there is "click here to play again” frame,


Can you please try again the link. I think now the link works.

Is the game supposed to continue after the score of 20 or to stop ?

[Madras]

it supposed to continue after the score of 20.

[Voetsjoeba]

Almost there ... need to eliminate a bug. By the way ... do you use Flash MX or Flash 5 ?

[Madras]

Fantastic, Great - I use FLASH MX.

Thank You

[Voetsjoeba]

Oh man, I'm starting to get a headache :( This bug is a tough one. I'm sorry.

[Madras]

I am sorry about that

[Voetsjoeba]

Mmm ... this is interesting: I put this on the bottom part (which if it hits, it's supposed to go to Frame 5 and stops):


onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (this.hitTest(_root.bal)) {
removeMovieClip(_root.bal);
_parent.gotoAndStop(5);
trace("Hit bottom: _parent("+_parent+").gotoAndStop(5) ||| removeMovieClip(_root.bal)");
}
}


and when I test the movie and let the ball hit the bottom, nothing is traced. Which means that it doesn't gotoAndStop(5). Which is probably the bug. But why !?

[Madras]

if you need to see my FLA file, here it is please have look.

Thanks

[Voetsjoeba]

Aaah, a fresh file. Just what I needed. Thanks :) Now I can clear my mind about the previous bug.

[Madras]

WOW Thanks for trying so hard, I really appreciate it.

[Voetsjoeba]

I have to stop working on this computer, but I'll continue upstairs.

[Madras]

Great!

[Voetsjoeba]

I fixed it ! Finally I got that little bug to die. I'll explain what the problem was later cuz I ain't got much time now. I'm uploading the fla as we speak. I'll edit this post as soon as it's done.

*Just popped into my mind: the original code isn't perfect, causing the ball to fly through the walls sometimes. I got a fix for that too, I'll attach the same Fla but with the walls fixed later.

Here it is: FLA (http://voetsjoeba.asianillusion.com/brick.fla)

[Madras]

Hi Voetsjoeba,

Thank You, you are too good, Incredible. That was a Fantastic hard work, You must be a GURU in FLASH. Thanks again it works great.

GURU THANKS AGAIN

[Voetsjoeba]

You're welcome :)

I fixed the FLA for the ball that flies through the walls sometimes. Plus, I forgot to change the button at the last frame ("Play Again"). Changed that too.

I replaced the file on the server. So just click the same link I gave you in my previous reply.

[Madras]

Thanks Guru’s,

It works great. Thank You So Much.

Tips or Advice, Can you suggest me a site or recommend me a book for action-script, there lot of sites and books but I am not sure which one to pick for a starter.

FYI I i am just a beginner in scripting language
(action-script or javascript).

Question: Do i have to know javascript to understand Action-Script.

[Voetsjoeba]

You're on one. www.kirupa.com. And this forums contains a treasure of code, sample fla's, solve methods and so much more ... I don't know about books, I'm not into ActionScript books. Although I should.


Question: Do i have to know javascript to understand Action-Script ?
No, you don't. Although a little Javascript skills come in handy for splash pages and/or pop-ups and closing them. JavaScript is actually very similar to ActionScript, which makes JavaScript easier to learn :)

[Madras]

Great,

Thanks for the advice, I will start using this site for learning.
Just a note once I master the scripting I promise that I will definitely try to help some one like me in the future.

Thanks GURU
