[AS2] Help creating a flash /stickman / zombie game

[Lorithon]

Do you like helping people over long periods of time? Do you consider yourself an expert on action script? Do you have the guts to make it simple for a newbie? :rolleyes:

Well have I got a challenge for you.
It seems that there are no tutorials for any horizontal shooters that I can find.
So if you could help me create a stick zombie game, that would be totally awesome


And here’s how you can: every time i have a question or i need a formula for something i will add a comment to this thread and you (whoever you are) can answer them. Those who do help will have their displayed name added to the special help thanks under the credits. and you will have my extreme thanks:)

The basic statistics of the game is that it is level based, so after all the zombies are dead you shop and advance to the next level. As the levels progress the zombies are quicker and come in greater numbers

The shopping points (money) work on how many kills you get (headshots kills are worth 15)
Regular kills are worth 10 points


Damage-wise headshots do more damage than body shots

There are range and melee weapons, which you acquire with a certain amount of points!!! Also there are barricades you can buy and then upgrade (which costs two hundred points)

Check out the pictures that are attached to this request
Note: these pictures are still frames only that display what the game will look like when it’s done
(In other words I have not been able to create the game thus far)

However I’m sure this is a lot to do, please leave a comment if you're interested in giving a devoted newbie some serious help.

Ok hears the first question----


I have a movie clip symbol of a stickman with a bat attacking
how do i make it so that if i click the LEFT MOUSE BUTTON he it plays the movie clip

Here's what i'm using so far but only the the one that tells him to attk isn't working which is the one that tells him to go to frame four on standingStill


//if the left arrow key is down, go to frame to of this movie clip and also move left.
standStill.onEnterFrame = function() {
if(Key.isDown(68)) {
this._x+=4;
this.gotoAndStop(2);
}
else if(Key.isDown(65)) {
this._x-=4;
this.gotoAndStop(3);
}
else if(MouseEvent(click)) {
this.gotoAndStop(4)}
//if none of the above is happening, stop on frame 1
else this.gotoAndStop(1);
}




P.S i thought it would be easier on everyone if i attached pictures to this question but whenever i try to my internet freezez
I'm trying to get a web page up with the pictures on it and what the game is so far. once i have that i'll add a link from these comments

Plz respond A.S.A.P

Sincerely appreciated, Lorithon (game tag name)
