is what im thinking, kind of like a REALLY shoddy flash nintendogs with about a total of four features lol.

you make the center part a single movie clip and have action script it stop at certain frames so that you can have all the animation together but it wont play through them...

then when a person clicks a button it will make the center movie clip go to the frame that is relevant to the action and play until the movie clip stops the action (then you can make the movie clip go back to a main frame if you want)

just make sure to have checks in place to see if the movie clip is at frame 1 (MovieClipObj.currentFrame)

i think i made sense... if not im sure someone can explain what i am saying a bit better ;o

right, thanks for the help

time to use more pooooor drawing skills to draw a dog!

EDIT:

i dont do much flash animation, i cant tween anything i don't think... does anyone have any tips for making something walk or do things i want?

now need to make dog animationg to plonk on top.

why doesnt the tutorial work with this code its exactely the same but the images don't 'loop'

code:

---

animator = createEmptyMovieClip('animator',1);
bg_1 = animator.attachMovie('bg_mc','bg_1',1);
bg_2 = animator.attachMovie('bg_mc','bg_2',2);
bg_1._x = -bg_1.width/2;
bg_2._x = bg_2.width/2;
speed = 1;
streetWidth = 1500;
animator.onEnterFrame = function(){
    bg_1._x -= speed;
    bg_2._x -= speed;
    if(bg_1._x <= -bg_1._width) bg_1._x = streetWidth;
    if(bg_2._x <= -bg_2._width) bg_2._x = streetWidth;
}

Which version of Flash and AS are you using?

flash cs3 and actionscript 2
^-)

Ok, not used CS3 (I don't think) as 7 is probably still the easiest to use. 8 gets a bit more complicated for certain things and Adobe bought it out not long after that and made it way more complicated than it needs be (AS 3.0 for example).

I can't really help much atm because I'm at work, so if you PM your WLM address later, I should be able to help (around 10 o'Clock though so if you get help before then thats fine)

okay i'll pm you

im following the tutorial and its refusing to do what the tutorial says!

did you draw each picture of your avatar? i like that lol.


EDIT:

okay i have the basics of the human walking, going to be hell trying to make a dog!!

how can i add my street image to scroll through behind him?

EDIT: okay fixed that!

needed to edit the image, it doesnt work if you offset it now, but it works in flash with it going round and round which was confusing!!
