Under rating threshold (show) @enduo, actually it's only between 1 and 3. Math.random() generates only up to 0.99, multiply it by 3 gives you 2.97, add 1 gives you 3.97, and applying the Math.floor() gives you only a max attainable value of 3. hope i made sense XD

Under rating threshold (show) found a bug in powerups ! it says : type = Math.floor(Math.random()*3+1); and it assumes that the number will be between 1 and 3, but its actually between 1 and 4 no ? So there is 25% chance there will be no power up.. Was this made on purpose ?

Under rating threshold (show) For the alpha, instead of having "alpha < 1" you could put "alpha <= 0", which ensures that *any* value less than or equal to 0 will execute the if statement, rather than if it's down to, say, 0.8, which isn't truly invisible, although it doesn't really make a difference, I guess. :P

Under rating threshold (show) If you don't want powerups to stay after the ship dies, you can add "if(_root.ship._visible == false){this.removeMovieClip();}" to the onEnterFrame of the powerup class. Then if you want to remove the shield if there's any left, add "if(_root.ship._visible == false && _root.ship.shield._visible == true){_root.ship.shield._visible = false;_root.ship.shield._alpha = 100;}" outside where you check that the ship is visible in the onEnterFrame function of the ship class. That should do the job although I haven't tested it yet. (having a break halfway through...)

Under rating threshold (show) I think this shootorials Rock. Think about it. They are summarizing a design tools with a programming language with documentation on each chapter, AND IN 9 SHORT CHAPTERS!!!!. This is among the shortest and precise tutorials I've seen and I´m a programmer, so please stop complaning and if you have a doubt just ask and I'm sure that sb will help you with pleasure. I must say that here and there it needs a polish but get real people, this let you create a game in a couple of hours and some google for the refinements and voila, new flash game of your own. Sorry if anybody got upset, not my intention at all. Keep up the good work Kong, this rocks.

Under rating threshold (show) Ok...this took me quite a while to solve, since there's no explanation in the tutorial... FOR ANYONE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MULTIPLE BOSSES AT THE SAME TIME: in the line where you attach the Miniboss/Boss Movie, there's a difference from the others. In the second part, after naming the first "Miniboss", you don't have to put "+ _root.get.... twice, ONLY ONCE AND WITHOUT THE PLUS. I'm not sure, but I suppose it's because there's only 1 boss, so you don't have to name more than 1...They should've explained that better. Anyway, that solved the problem for me. I hope it helps and sorry for my English u.u''
