For the Kongregate APIs to submit "Pushed Boxes" would it be _root.kongregateStats.setMode("Pushed Boxes")
_root.kongregateStats.submit(_global.PushedBoxes)
or _root.kongregateStats.submit("Pushed Boxes", _global.PushedBoxes)
?

Im totally new to this first time doing flash but i think if you are wanting to change the look of you ship during game, just do it like the shield and have another layer hidden until conditions are met? sounds like it should work

Can anyone please explain how to change the graphic of an actor while the game is running? I want to make an outfitter that changes the look of my ship, without using a different actor (for coding reasons). Any insight?

I think you can add levels by adding more frames, then you can change anything you want or just copy from frame one... Having a frame check or simple true/false level variable maybe to change code? You would need to put in stop(); on each frame, though. I think that might work... The way I use to keep from going off screen is to check and make sure they are on stage before moving. like: if (_x>0 && Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)) {_x-=speed;} for example. I don't know of any other ways to do it. If you don't understand the code still, then try finding other basic AS code tutorials.

if anyone is looking for an easy way to generate your own retro / 8bit sounding effects I highly recommend SFXR (just google for it) by Dr. Petter. I know there is a windows version and I believe linux (and maybe mac too). project page here: http://www.cyd.liu.se/~tompe573/hp/project_sfxr.html

i still dont understand about the aliens stuff, well idk i think shootirials 1 from 7 are very good, but this one not... rawr!
cmon explain more! im stuck and i downloaded the source!
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
saint to do the little alien things is actually pretty easy. So on the explode functions you just have a random number thing, and then if the number equals a certain number you get the x and y data and attach the alien movie clip. For the alien movie clip you have it so the dirrection is down and when it is at the bottom change it to be moving across instead of down.
I have a question as well from the shoot the game thing, how do you add the border things?

Under rating threshold (hideshow)
neosano if you dont like shootortials make your own tutorials, the way you talk, you should be the best flash developer in world, so make a tutorial, maybe we could be so pro as you in 8 tutorials of 15 pages each! REALLY?
LOSER -.-

I'm slightly annoyed... I added my own enhancements while I was doing it. All the way through these I've been findign what I've done is covered in later tutorials, but I still have some features this doesn't.

I loved the tutorials, my game looked like... a really clumsy version of the real game... but maybe kongregate should make tutorials for Mouse input, platform games, animations and a coding help spot. Its really hard to keep up after Shootorial 6. Still... amazing.

I did everything the shootorial said and still couldn't a sound to play. Also, I don't get sound in the place that shows what the final game should look like. Any ideas?

dysalot, you can pause the game by creating a variable that is set to true whenever you want to stop the game. In all of the onEnterFrame functions, check to see if it is true and don't do anything if it is. Then you can build a menu the same way the game over menu was built.

talk about comment spam \/\/, this is not really a game and how would you use badges with a tutorial? Get to the final page... impossible 60 points
