First post, yay.
I'm making a point and click adventure/choose your own adventure game in flash mx 2004 and I'd like to make an inventory system but i really don't have any idea how to go about it.
I want the inventory system to be a pop up menu that appears once a button is clicked at the bottom of the screen, when an item is clicked on in the game it disappears from the game screen and is moved to one of the item slots in the pop up menu.
When an item is used it disappears from the menu and items are used automatically (E.G. there's a big nasty dog and you can't get past it but once you have a sausage or something you click on the dog and it eats the sausage and you can continue)
Because it's a choose your own adventure game there are ways to die and I'd like it if the continue button could put you back to a safe place with all your items, and I'd also like it that when you finished the game the items are reset.
I have quite a basic grasp on action script and I've worked out how im going to do the rest of the game but I'd really appreciate lots of help with this inventory system.
Cheers a million.
