Match Game help

[bettypage222]

Hi,

I have a program for a card match game... and I have a question... can anyone think of a solution for this? If two of the cards are matched, the code now removes the movie clips...

I would like to change it so that when a match is made, the movie clips ARE NOT removed, however I want them to NOT BE ENABLED either... that the card match is unclickable...

I'm not sure how to do that... thanks for any help

//<AS>


initGame();
stop();

function initGame() {
// make sorted list of cards
cardsListOrdered = [];
for(i=1;i<=8;i++) {
cardsListOrdered.push(i,i);
}

// shuffle list
cardsListSorted = [];
while (cardsListOrdered.length > 0) {
r = int(Math.random()*cardsListOrdered.length);
cardsListSorted.push(cardsListOrdered[r]);
cardsListOrdered.splice(r,1);
}

// create card clips and assign their location and picture
x = 0;
y = 0;
for(i=0;i<16;i++) {
attachMovie("Card","Card"+i,i);
_root["Card"+i].picture = cardsListSorted[i];
_root["Card"+i]._x = x*85+275;
_root["Card"+i]._y = y*85+80;

// move to next card spot
x++;
if (x > 3) {
x = 0;
y++;
}
}

firstclip = 0;
}

function clickCard(clip) {
// see whether two cards are showing
if (secondclip != 0) {

// turn those two cards back over
firstclip.gotoAndStop(1);
secondclip.gotoAndStop(1);
firstClip = 0;
secondClip = 0;
}

// see whether same card was clicked
if (firstclip == clip) {

// turn card back over
firstclip.gotoAndStop(1);
firstClip = 0;

// see whether no cards are showing
} else if (firstclip == 0) {

// turn first card over
clip.gotoAndStop(clip.picture+1);
firstclip = clip;

// must be one card showing
} else {

// turn second card over
clip.gotoAndStop(clip.picture+1);
secondClip = clip;

// see whether two cards match
if (firstclip.picture == secondClip.picture) {

// remove both cards
firstClip.removeMovieClip();
secondClip.removeMovieClip();
firstClip = 10;
secondClip = 20;
}
}

}

Some important code seems to be missing, but if I conjecture right using something like this would work:

// remove both cards
firstClip.onRelease = null;
secondClip.onRelease = null;


I don't know if you used onRelease, there are so many different possibilities for that, so hoefully you get the idea.

that worked perfect, thanks!

Actually, there is no code missing... that's all of it...the mc in the library are being exported for AS, that's probably what you mean?

actually, I'm getting this error with the code

Here is the code:

//<AS>

initGame();
stop();

function initGame() {
// make sorted list of cards
cardsListOrdered = [];
for(i=1;i<=8;i++) {
cardsListOrdered.push(i,i);
}

// shuffle list
cardsListSorted = [];
while (cardsListOrdered.length > 0) {
r = int(Math.random()*cardsListOrdered.length);
cardsListSorted.push(cardsListOrdered[r]);
cardsListOrdered.splice(r,1);
}

// create card clips and assign their location and picture
x = 0;
y = 0;
for(i=0;i<16;i++) {
attachMovie("Card","Card"+i,i);
_root["Card"+i].picture = cardsListSorted[i];
_root["Card"+i]._x = x*85+275;
_root["Card"+i]._y = y*85+80;

// move to next card spot
x++;
if (x > 3) {
x = 0;
y++;
}
}

firstclip = 0;
}

function clickCard(clip) {
// see whether two cards are showing
if (secondclip != 0) {

// turn those two cards back over
firstclip.gotoAndStop(1);
secondclip.gotoAndStop(1);
firstClip = 0;
secondClip = 0;
}

// see whether same card was clicked
if (firstclip == clip) {

// turn card back over
firstclip.gotoAndStop(1);
firstClip = 0;

// see whether no cards are showing
} else if (firstclip == 0) {

// turn first card over
clip.gotoAndStop(clip.picture+1);
firstclip = clip;

// must be one card showing
} else {

// turn second card over
clip.gotoAndStop(clip.picture+1);
secondClip = clip;

// see whether two cards match
if (firstclip.picture == secondClip.picture) {

// remove both cards
firstClip.onRelease = null;
secondClip.onRelease = null;
firstClip = 0;
secondClip = 0;
}
}
