Make sure the instance name of your hero ship is different than its class name, and make sure that the code
if(this.hitTest(_root.ship))
instead of putting (_root.ship)), replace "ship" with the instance name (make sure casing is correct, too)

I need help, i just finish the tutorial # 5 and now my ship can't move no more. With the thing I added. Only the background still working (Defile). Anyone got a idea why my game isn't working well now?

If you're using CS4, the correct "properties" area where you input your new Instance Name to be "ship" can be found in the upper right panel. Just select the "Properties" tab instead of the "Library" tab.
((Your workspace may look different. I'm using the -Classic- Workspace. To change workspaces, go to the top of the program and click "Window"-> "Workspace" -> "Classic".))

ok i downloaded the source file, extracted it, but i don't find the explosion clip. Ya, it says from the fla file, but i got no fla file. Please help, i'm loving this thing and now i'm stuck here!

I suppose the instance name can make some problems if it has the same name as the class name. So you should name it not "ship" but something other. Also don't forget to change "_root.ship" to "_root.newInstanceName"

I made my explosion really really really big and didn't make it a clip so it only lasted for one frame. It adds a nice touch, whenever you hit an enemy it looks like an explosive balloon bursting. Try it.

everyone, please note that you must also remove your enemies from your array of enemies before you call .removeMovieClip();
if you don't, your bullets will continue to try to run physics checks on them. display enemies.length if you don't believe me. Not much a problem for this game's scale, but if you have smaller, more numerous foes and your weapon shoots faster, this can progressively slow down the game.
My solution
Look up the splice() function of arrays.
create an index variable in your enemy class
update the enemies' index value on spawn
call enemies.splice(index, 1);
loop through the array updating the index values

Morning. I have problem in step 4. The Enemy ship stopped arriving to frame and the Hero ship cannot move or shot. (But the background still moving...) anyone know how to solve it?
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
I fixed my problem by making sure that the X and Y coordinates of the symbols are the same, and to make sure to have the...
explosion._x = _x;
explosion._y = _y;
written out correctly.

Help, I'm on Step 7 when you add the explosion animation to your enemy ship, but when I run into it, the explosion happens left and down from where the actual enemy is. What should I do?
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Using CS5, I was able to copy the explosion animation directly out of their .fla and already have everything linked up to my Explosion class
Just thought I'd share this information

For some odd reason after completing some of these steps, the Enemy Ships spawn extremely fast, I have no idea why though! :<

disregard my other post.
i found a way to make the bullet intervals random.
just make the shoot timer on the onenterframe function Math.random()*number desired.
note that multiple Math.random()'s may be needed :P

for some reason when i don't copy the code and type it in instead, the game doesn't work even if it is completely right. please help!

Daxter, it happens because the computers find it difficult to notice when three or more keys are pressed simultaneously. It has nothing to do with the coding of the game.
