Shootorial #3: ActionScript 3

I don't understand why the code isn't var b:MovieClip = new Bullet()
Isn't it an undefined variable if we don't put :MovieClip????

that may be due to copy + paste...
also i wonder if c++ can be used in this? (if you konw please send me a messege on my profile)

@ Orangatang91:
The code "Keyboard.SPACE" finds the position in the array (don't quote me on that, It might not be an array) "Keyboard" ("Keyboard" is from that one line "import flash.ui.Keyboard") that is defined by the string "SPACE". At that position is a number. That number is 32. So, using "Keyboard.SPACE" is the same as using "32". So, when you type Key.isDown(32) it goes to the "Key" class that was defined and runs the function "isDown" with the parameter "32". Function "isDown" then returns a boolean value (boolean means true or false). *SOOO*, *if you want to use, say, "X" instead of "SPACE"* then you would have to look up some chart on the internet (I like http://preview.tinyurl.com/3o2wmgm). So instead of using "Keyboard.X", you must use "88" (Why 88? Who knows!). "Key.isDown(88)" is the line of code for you. Don't worry, it's a mistake that just about everyone has made, and I'm no exception. Please rate up if this was helpful.

Lol. I think that programming is my strong point, not art. I couldn't draw the bullet in the AS2 shootorials. But now it's easy as pie! XD

I wasn't a big fan of it either when I saw it in the original Shootorial... The part where shootDelimiter gets incremented every frame and set to zero when spacebar is pressed implies that the variable gets incremented unchecked forever as long as someone doesn't press spacebar... Which means it will eventually reach a value that the Number type cannot contain (an Overflow error). Ideally you could set the variable to 0 in the Ship() function, set it to 8 when spacebar is pressed (if the value is 0) and decrement it every frame if its value is not 0, thus stopping the overflow risk
