Topic: Game Programming / Where to go from here?

Good and no problem :)
Well I’m not sure what your programming in, is it as2 or as3 but anyway yeah i only know as2 so i would use
yourMovieclipName.gotoAndPlay(‘Left’);
‘Left’ being the name of the first frame of a string of frames which contain the animation.
This could then cause frames to start playing and you can make them loop by adding gotoAndPlay(“Left”); on the last frame.
Do you understand? My explanations are pretty rubish :L
I have actually got a bit of code in one my current projects which kind of does this which i may be able manipulate and show/send you :)

Topic: Game Programming / Where to go from here?

I’m not quite sure what your ask here but what i suggest for your enemys is not AI that’s a bit complex. All i think you need is to tell them to move so far left and right in a certain place by increasing and decressing the y value then make it check if your character is in range and attach a bullet movie clip thing to make it look like it’s fireing. To get the enemys to be animated just make it switch between frames when the Y value switches from increassing to decrease or vice-versa; basicly having some frames dedecated, in the enemy movieclip, to when the enemy is moving right or left :)

I hope this helps in some way and sorry if my English is poor ( I suck at it :/ )

Topic: Game Programming / File size.

Thanks for the suggestions! So .wav’s are good then? :L

I’m just wonder how decrease the size because my game is pretty short but the file size is quite big. I have been getting rid of things that i don’t need, like movie clips and stuff, so it has been getting smaller :) Sound is a problem though! So thanks for the advice.
