Just a friendly tip:
It is completely impossible to make heads or tails of what you need help with.

I just want to do something like this :

when I move the mouse, the gun rotates and when I click, it shoots in the selected direction...

it's not that hard to understand...lol

[farafiro]

so u wanna do games (http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&q=games+tutorials+flash) with flash ;)

to drag mouse you should check docs for Mouse object and startDrag and stopDrag metho of MovieClip.

to rotate your gun just to change its _rotation property if it is a MovieClip already.

to make your gun fire may be a little bit harder but not too much difficult, first you should calculate the correct angle the bullete should toward to, then rotate it and finally moves it frequently.

and if anything you cant understand you could check some tutorials for making games~ :)

good luck~

Hey farfiro, I'm not stupid, I made a lot of games with flash. And I know how to do a damn drag mouse. I just don't know how to calculate the angle. It's not that hard to explain I think...

[annexion]

mc._rotation = Math.atan2(_root._ymouse - _y, _root._xmouse - _x)*180/(Math.PI)-90;

And please, refrain from being abrasive when your question is not answered how and when you want.

Good luck.

[farafiro]

who said that u r so??

and the links that I gave ya, at least two of them have a tuts for what u r asking
and we calculate the angle by Math.atan2
