Awesome tutorial, but 1 part is missing. I can create a thing to multiply to numbers using input boxes and dynamic text boxes. The tut worked but i don't have 0 knowledge.

There is a slight error if i remember, read through the code and you'll find it.

I thought there might have been, but everyone was praising the tutorial and talking about how awesome it is.

Besides, I'm honestly not that great with ActionScript. I mostly just steal other people's scripts and save them to a text file, so I'll have them for reference whenever I need them.

Dude this is confusing, how do you make a movie clip without anything to turn into one?

Use the 'insert new symbol' option, or, just turn something into a movieclip and delete it once inside then continue using the empty MC. If anyone really needs the correct code i'll see if I can find it/fix it.

i wondered about the same thing like metal flower...

AND WHAT DO I HAVE TO EXPORT IT AS? .GIF? .SWF?!

this is no tutorial for someone who hasnt got ANY experience with actionscripting... like me! maybe its the lateness (3:10 AM) or its the fact that i have to translate it in my language...

but i think that was too difficult... im totally defused and hate actionspripting like never :D

GIF files use no type of code. So I don't know why you'd even think that. Just use your head and stop trying to overcomplicate things.

look, im gonna go get the WORKING code right now, its a simple error that anyone with actionscript knowloage could figure out, I'll edit with the right code in a min.

EDIT:

Here, try to figure out whats different:

In alpha 0 thing

onClipEvent (load) {
nmber = 2;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
this._x = _root._xmouse;
this._y = _root._ymouse;

nmber++;
_root.effect.duplicateMovieClip("effect"+nmber, nmber);
_root["effect"+nmber]._x = this._x;
_root["effect"+nmber]._y = this._y;
_root["effect"+nmber]._rotation = random(360)+1;
if (nmber>=60) {
nmber = 2;
}

}


in frame

Mouse.hide ()
