Wouldn't that only work if number was already a string? You would need to do <pre> var number : String = num.ToString(); </pre> beforehand to make it work? If you don't want to meddle with string manipulation, you could try <pre> trace(num.toFixed(1)) </pre> instead. Wouldn’t that only work if number was already a string?

In your collisions function, you are referring to nepriatel, which is always going to be the most recent enemy you've added to the screen. strela is the most recent bullet you've added to the screen. If one of these obejcts is removed after a collision, those functions are trying to look at objects which aren't there any more. You will need to put your enemies and bullets into arrays, and use for loops to check through each of them.

Yes, you can test the sharing API. After you upload the game, but before you hit publish. You'll only be able to load levels you've saved yourself, but that should be good enough.

What do you want to happen after all 20 numbers have come out? Repeat the sequence? A default number, like -1? An alternative method is to put sequential numbers into an array, and mix them all up: (repeat 50 times) - swap (random array element with another random array element) Then use array.pop until the array is empty.

But if you list a specific problem you need to fix, there are lots of people on this forum who will point you in the right direction. If you want a really basic intro to scrolling - make an image that's bigger than your stage. Move it around using actionscript.

So, you've created a movieclip in the library, and checked the 'export for actionscript' button in the properties, right? Suppose you called the movieClip in the library 'Stickman' <pre> myNewStickman : Stickman = new Stickman(); stage.addChild(myNewStickman); </pre> You can now reference that movieclip by <pre> myNewStickman.x = 100; </pre> No need to use root at all. AS3 doesn't really use root anymore. If you've already dragged a copy of the movieclip onto the stage you can give it a name in the properties window. You don't ned to declare it in that case. Whatever name you gave it, that's what you use in your actionscript to reference that movieclip.

I don't really know why. If I did, I could fix it. I haven't been able to reliably reproduce the bug. I've only seen it once, just after I loaded a game. I made a code change, and it hasn't happened to me since (that was on the 16th). If it happens again, send me a bug report telling me what you did just before - hopefully there'll be some pattern which will give me a clue. Tell me what browser you're using too. Thanks!
