My background music keeps looping on top of itself into an echoing mess of infinite noise. I'm pretty sure this is due to code telling it play every frame 'onEnterFrame()'. Is there a way to make sure it finishes a single cycle before playing again?

everything changes now from my favorite games to the crappiest games i ever played here on kong, we should give respect to this developers
for making such games which are hard and takes time to code
props to series, i've just finished it and its amazing

Should put a quiz at the end of each Shootorial about what was learned in this lesson, with badges for getting it right ;).
Half serious, half taking the piss out of people who only like games with badges.
I love these tutorials you have sent me on my way to doing what I've wanted to do for a long time but was always too lazy, you made it easy :P 5/5

Before going through these tutorials, I never realized how much work it was to make a game. Now that I've tried it (my coding is a mess btw) I've got a lot more respect for developers. I can't imagine how much work it would be to make something like Sonny or Elephant Quest. Anyway, congrats to anyone with a little blue D!

Finished my game yesterday, http://www.kongregate.com/games/Gloogloos/submarine, one problem is that some people cant use the controls, i set it to WASD and SPACE, of all the people ive been in contact that cant use the controls they have the similar specs to people for whom it does work and there( for most people it works on desktops and laptops with Windows, and mac desktop and laptops, and many different keyboards, PS2 and USB ), if anyone else has had that problem and has been able to fix it, can you PM me your fix, thanks

hey guys, kongregate forgot this in their previous tutorial. Before any time you call removeMovieClip() inside your enemy class, you need to remove it from your array of enemies. Otherwise, bullets will continue to try running checks on the nonexistant objects, and the array will just grow longer and longer. i created an index variable inside the enemy class that I update whenever things are removed from the array and use before .removeMovieClip() like this: _root.(array name).splice(index, 1);
my version:

Thank you, kongregate, and all the people who commented with helpful advice. With your help, I was able to make this: http://www.kongregate.com/games/enshoku/just-another-shootorial-game
It's still by no means a good game, but at least its pretty consistent in the way it functions.

I wanted to make the boss appears after every two minibosses, but the minibosses just appear two times at first and then the boss always appears without two minibosses before him.
I've added to "if( bossCountdown == 0)" this sentence "bossCountdown = 2;". + if it works
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
yeah I just do it... but the problem is that after kill the 2 miniboss and the boss the only one who is respawn is the Boss ... thank you anyway! :)

@saba7: Now I'm not good at actionscript myself, but all you have to do is stop the hero ship from disappearing. In Boss.as, remove this line from explode: _root.ship._visible = false

Hi.. what I have to do if I want to infinite respawn all the minibosses and boss from the shootorial (I want the game over screen only when the ship die)

Hi! What codes I have to whrote if I want to respawn all the miniboss and the big boss to infinite play?? (I want to finish the game only when the ship die)

To stop the ship from moving off the screen, you can just add an extra condition to the movement ifs, for example: "if (Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT) && _x < 575)" will make it so the ship stops moving right when _x reaches 575 pixels. I used _x < 575 for right, _x > 25 for left, _y > 25 for up and _y < 275 for down and it works pretty well...

@Accatitippi wow your an idiot xD this is a tutorial they wont add badges and kongregate made those, so ts pointless to add badges o_O

I had a rather incomplete idea for improving Shoot. Make the Ship a Person with a Sword on a Flying Saucer or something then edit the missile symbol so that is looks like a sword. Of course, you'd have to figure out how to animate the slash/throwing instance for the person though.

Wow. I switched from game maker v8.0 to this, and game maker v8.0 is really easy, but takes FOREVER. this is really difficult and doesnt take as long to do something simple. I only have 27 days left of my free trial, then I am definetely saving up my money to buy this :). Thanks kongregate. Without you, I would still be trying to figure out how to start, and I would not know anything about action script. :D THANKS 5/5
