the intro:
most people just starting flash 8 dont know what actionscript is. well, its mainly a type of code (kind of a language) that alows you to make so many things acually work. like scene selections, they require a simple on release action script. but some things, such as games, require more complex and long action script. well, Ill teach you some action script.
so lets see, most of the games and animations on newgrounds or flashportal, have a custom cursor, well heres what you do:
1. make a layer above all other layers in your game/movie.
2.draw your mouse
3.convert it into a movieclip by going over your mouse and press f8
4.now click your movie clip, and open up the proporties.
5. now go to actions.
6. put in the following script:
onClipEvent (load) {
startDrag("", true);
Mouse.hide();
}
7. but make sure the plus sign pf the movie clip is on your tip of the mouse.
dessups, ok, there are lots of dress ups out there, now, I will show you how to make one.
1. draw your character.
2. draw whatever you want to put on him/her.
3. now ad this script to your clothes:
on(press){
startDrag("");
}
on(release){
stopDrag();
}
buttons, ok, god only knows how many people who know how to make these work, im just ganna teach you it? k?
1. first, draw a button.
2. convert into a button
3. double click it and do what you want with the over, on, and hit things.
4. when your done, ad this script:
on (release){
5. and add what ever else you want to it, like a play action script.
eh? im getting bored, wait for the next tut, k?
