Under rating threshold (show) I Have a huge problem. My flash thinks that 1 is way offscreen.. so instead of removing the missiles at _x 700 I have to type 1400. That fixes my problem here, but in the next tutorial when in generates the enemys I can't keep the enemys on stage with this code.. _y = Math.random()*400 + 50; Any ideas why this happens?

Under rating threshold (show) I'm having issues when creating the missiles. They're appearing fine, but when they appear from the ship, they still appear at the top left corner as well. Can anybody help?

Under rating threshold (show) @shaggypig9 I had that problem first too, but I solved it, just try and change the X and Y numbers (page 7 on the tutorial). I changed it to X + 78 and Y + 22: if( Key.isDown(Key.SPACE) ) { var missile = _root.attachMovie( "Missile" , "Missile" + _root.getNextHighestDepth() , _root.getNextHighestDepth() ); missile._x = _x + 78; missile._y = _y + 22; } Hope this helps

Under rating threshold (show) every slide i read, there will always be a question in my mind(missile shooting so fast, missile coming from the body of spaceship instead of cockpit). then after several slides, the question will be answered. great guide.

Under rating threshold (show) im using Adobe Flash CS5.5 Pro i cant seem to make the missiles appear and disappear since i cant make them appear i tried drag the missile movieclip to the stage and edited its onEnterFrame code particularly the condition when spacebar is pressed just to see if the condition is working i set the speed to 0 if the spacebar is pressed so when i press the spacebar the missile should stop and it did.. so i think the problem is somehow the function that attachmovie and removemovieclip is not firing.. is it because im using a CS5.5?

Under rating threshold (show) Thanks @Derek3803, but I still can't. Have both layers in the same order as on the screen example. I can select it, select the color and line tool but can't draw. It's probably something dumb that I just don't know. Had a step drive me crazy cause it was missing the instruction to select the .fla before trying "Insert>" since it only appears when the .fla is selected.

I am doing this with Flash CS3 which I found at the following link, with a 30 day trial period. http://lfiles3.brothersoft.com/dvd_video/flash_tools/ADBEFLPRCS3_WWE.exe

Under rating threshold (show) I find a slightly better effect out of the missiles by having an acceleration, I set speed to 0 instead of 10, then did this when moving the missiles: _x += speed; speed += 1; // try changing the speed that speed increases for a different effect.

Under rating threshold (show) my missiles move with the background. in other words, I have them firing out of the ship where I want, they move at the rate I want, but if I hold the space bar down their point of origin moves further and further away. If I move the ship back and fire, the missiles will appear far in front of the ship. HELP!

Under rating threshold (show) I cannot get the missile to spawn. If I change the linkage identifier and instance name to "ship" I can fire a ship out of my ship, but when it is set to "missile", there is no missile. The properties for the missile are set to 'Export in Frame 1' and if I add a missile manually to the scene, it shows up when I test the movie, and it moves across the screen properly. In the library object the missile shows up as a movie. I am not getting any syntax errors on any .as programs. Any ideas?

Under rating threshold (show) okay, i have my missile working relatively and i am now trying to make things constantly fly out of the back of my ship. Nyanship is my ship's symbol name. The Mexicanflag class is the same as the missile except speed = -20; if( symbol NYANShip is on stage ) { var Mexicanflag = _root.attachMovie( "Mexicanflag" , "Mexicanflag" + _root.getNextHighestDepth() , _root.getNextHighestDepth() ); Mexicanflag._x = _x - 100; Mexicanflag._y = _y - 2; } Would this work?

Under rating threshold (show) If your bullets fire but dont move make sure you saved your script in the same folder and you saved it before you test and its the EXACT same as the example

Under rating threshold (show) (I use adobe CS4, could be different) If your missile wont move, but will spawn, go to game.fla and library. Rightclick misslie and then properties. In there check the identifier and class, you probably need a capital letter or a non-capital letter (opposite of what you got now).
