Thanks for a great tutorial. Although I did not understand how the code works as I am not experienced in using flash let alone programming action script, I did learn a lot about how everything is separated into manageable chunks. Hopefully I'll find some time to learn more about AS3 and try to code my first simple flash game. Thanks again :)

Thanks Raul
I was searching for how to make MVC structure using AS3. Now I have come to know...

You have done a great job ... I am thankful to you..

I finally found a great tutorial on how to create a game in flash from beginning to end. Do you have a tutorial on how to keep track on scores and lives?

There are a couple of AS1 game tutes that should cover that.

I am confused. Are the files downloaded from the "Download the finished source file here" complete? Should they be working? Mine are not.

Thanks Bill for the great tutorial !

I was wondering why you put the Timer into the TimerView, wouldn't it be better to put the Timer directly in the TimerModel? Then I was wondering, if it's possible to avoid the fact that the clothingItemView has to know about all the DropTargets. Is there a way to get the Drag'n Drop functionality out of the clothingItemView?

Thanks a lot!

hi, thank u for your great tuts, these are the best tuts around ATM, please keep on making more im watching the video`s every time i forgot something.

but now i have a little problem. ok here we go.
-----------------------------

im building a Asteroids game, the ship is flying and the enemy are attacking too. now the problem is, i build a so called SPEEDUP in the movieclip of the SHIP on the timeline, now when i HITTEST with the SPEEDUP the timeline goes to the ship with the shield around it. that all works good but when i hittest the enemybullets with the shield i want the enemybullets to hit the shield but it says the shield is NULL. but when i TRACE the SHIELD out it says it is of the SHIELD-CLASS. i dont know what the problem is anymore. can u please help me???


2009-09-22: douwe said:
hi again,

basically what i want is the enemybullet to hit the shield when the frame number( in this case its ( "shieldon" ) is changed.

i thryd it with IF ELSE statements but i dont seem to get it right.

if
(currentLabel == "shieldon"){

trace(Shield);
} else if
currentLabel != "shieldon"){
trace(target);

this works fine i get a trace on both when it changes frames but when i try to get a hittest in there it doesnt work anymore please help me.


im pretty new to cs4 as 3.0 so i cant solve the problem on my own.

2009-09-22: Bill Trikojus said:
I'm flat out at the moment. Please post this on a forum such as actionscript.org.
