[AS3] shooting an arrows to pop balloon

[musikako]

hi i have created a game called balloon pop, i draw an archer, arrow and a balloon. My archer start to walk but the main problem is the arrows it doesnt wanna shoot an arrow could some pls help me to solve this. Im new to actionscript.

package
{
	import flash.events.*;
	import flash.display.MovieClip;
	import flash.ui.Keyboard;
	
	public class archer extends MovieClip{
		public var rightArrow:Boolean = false;
		public var leftArrow:Boolean = false;
		public function archer():void{
			
			
			this.gotoAndStop('still');
			stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, keyPressed);
            stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_UP, keyReleased);
            addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, Walk);
        }

        function keyPressed(event:KeyboardEvent) 
		{
            if (event.keyCode==Keyboard.RIGHT) 
			{
				this.gotoAndStop('walking');
                rightArrow=true;
            }
			else if (event.keyCode==Keyboard.LEFT)
			{
				this.gotoAndStop('walking');
				leftArrow=true;
			}

        }
        
        function keyReleased(event:KeyboardEvent) 
		{
            if (event.keyCode==Keyboard.RIGHT) 
			{
				this.gotoAndStop('still');
                rightArrow=false;
            }
			else if (event.keyCode==Keyboard.LEFT)
			{
				this.gotoAndStop('still');
				leftArrow=false;
			}

        }

        public function Walk(event:Event):void 
		{
            if (rightArrow == true)
			{
                this.x+=10;
            }
			if (leftArrow == true)
			{
				this.x-=10;
			}
        }
    }
}

the code for the archer

package
{
	import flash.display.MovieClip;
	import flash.events.*;
	
	public class arrows extends MovieClip{
	{


Mouse.hide();
attachMovie("archer");
archer.onEnterFrame = function() {
	mousex = _xmouse-this._x;
	mousey = (_ymouse-this._y)*-1;
	angle = Math.atan(mousey/mousex)/(Math.PI/180);
	if (mousex<0) {
		angle += 180;
	}
	if (mousex>=0 && mousey<0) {
		angle += 360;
	}
	if (angle>160) {
		angle = 160;
	}
	if (angle<20) {
		angle = 20;
	}
	firepower = Math.sqrt(mousex*mousex+mousey*mousey);
	if (firepower>200) {
		firepower = 200;
	}
	this.archer._rotation = angle*-1;
};
function onMouseDown() {
	angle = archer.cannon._rotation-1;
	start_arrows_x = archer._x+48*Math.cos(angle*Math.PI/180);
	start_arrows_y = archer._y+48*Math.sin(angle*Math.PI/180);
	arrow_fired = attachMovie("arrow", "arrow_"+_root.getNextHighestDepth(), _root.getNextHighestDepth(), {_x:start_ball_x, _y:start_ball_y});
	arrow_fired.dirx = Math.cos(angle*Math.PI/180)*firepower;
	arrow_fired.diry = Math.sin(angle*Math.PI/180)*firepower;
	arrow_fired.onEnterFrame = function() {
		this._x += this.dirx/50;
		this._y += this.diry/50;
	};
}
	}
	}
	
}

code for the arrows.. thx in advance and merry xmas.

The indention is busted and parts of this looks like as 2. Go and read up on the differences. Such as there being no magic callback properties and the underscores being removed.

It is a miracle that this code even compiles. Did you turn off strict compiling?

[musikako]

i dont know the strict compiling as i wrote im new to the actionscript and dunno where to start.

[musikako]

i got a problem with the arrow class

TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
at archer()
at arrows()
at flash.display::Sprite/constructChildren()
at flash.display::Sprite()
at flash.display::MovieClip()
at BalloonPop()

package
{
	import flash.display.Sprite;
	import flash.display.MovieClip;
	import flash.events.*;
	
	public class arrows extends MovieClip{
		public var arc:MovieClip = new archer();
		public function arrows():void
		{
			addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, onEnter);
			stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClick);
		}
		
		function onEnter(event:MouseEvent)
		{
			arc.x-=(arc.x-mouseX)*.1;
			arc.y-=(arc.y-350)*.2;
		}
		
		function onClick(event:MouseEvent)
		{
			arc.y=365;
			var ar:Sprite = new arrows();
			ar.y=arc.y;
			ar.x=arc.x;
			addChild(ar);
		}


	}
}

I dont know what the problem is, when i clicked the mouse the arrow shows up but it doesnt shoot vertically.

package
{
	import flash.events.*;
	import flash.display.MovieClip;
	import flash.ui.Keyboard;
	
	public class archer extends MovieClip{
		public var rightArrow:Boolean = false;
		public var leftArrow:Boolean = false;
		public var arr:MovieClip = new arrows();
		public function archer():void{
			
			
			this.gotoAndStop('still');
			stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, keyPressed);
            stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_UP, keyReleased);
            stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClick);
			addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, Walk);
        }
		
		function onClick (event:MouseEvent)
		{
			addChild(arr);
		}

        function keyPressed(event:KeyboardEvent) 
		{
            if (event.keyCode==Keyboard.RIGHT) 
			{
				this.gotoAndStop('walking');
                rightArrow=true;
            }
			else if (event.keyCode==Keyboard.LEFT)
			{
				this.gotoAndStop('walking');
				leftArrow=true;
			}

        }
        
        function keyReleased(event:KeyboardEvent) 
		{
            if (event.keyCode==Keyboard.RIGHT) 
			{
				this.gotoAndStop('still');
                rightArrow=false;
            }
			else if (event.keyCode==Keyboard.LEFT)
			{
				this.gotoAndStop('still');
				leftArrow=false;
			}

        }
		
        public function Walk(event:Event):void 
		{
            if (rightArrow == true)
			{
                this.x+=10;
            }
			if (leftArrow == true)
			{
				this.x-=10;
			}
        }
    }
}

it is an as3 files.. pls help me. thx in advance

No, you don't. If you read properly, you see that the error lies in the archer class.

Run it in the debugger and you will see the error as it happens.
