I would need some advice why it crashes and how to enhance the Gameperformance. It would be really nice if u could give me always a little example not just the name of the Method cause i just started up... :rolleyes:

Well it rocks tho.

You should make a "Start Over" button at the (scene play , 2nd frame) so when a person lose , he/she can get a chance to start over instead of turn off the .swf and reopen

[Kingslayer]

good idea... i got to make borders for the game too... so u cant cross over the sides.

here you go... i gotta upload the newest one tomorrow but the code doesnt really change....

[fitz]

Doh, it could be because your file is using Flash 7, Actionscript 2.0. Sorry can't help ya. I'm strictly AS3 :)

I'm a little wary of how you're removing movieClips:

Try this:

trace("line1");
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("identifier", this.getDepth());
trace("line2");
identifier.removeMovieClip();

You will notice that the "line2" trace is never executed, so neither is the identifier.removeMovieClip() and you will end up with a whole bunch of empty movieclips before too long. And that will bog you down.

I can't quickly explain what I would have done to remove that, because I would have structured the whole program differently, and would have had an array of asteroids, an array of lasers, etc. And then I'd loop through those arrays when I decide which ones need to be deleted. And like Fitz, I do games in AS3 now, so I don't remember if there's any getMovieClipAtDepth or something in AS2.

[Kingslayer]

thx for the help, i think i fixed that i got another object that removes the 'identifiers" now

nam = _root.identifier;
if (nam<>"undefined") {
nam.removeMovieClip();

still laggy tho... does anybody else have ideas? btw here is my newest version.
