Hey, when i try to open Vcam It says "unexpected format"

Ahh, that means it's saved in a higher version of flash. You need to find a source file in a lower or equal to your version.

Its ok now i made my own vCam, works perfectly, but on Day 6, Everything got screwed up and as soon as i walked or jumped, i fell trough the gtound D:

Thanks for making this great tutorial Monty!

Must've taken a lot of time and effort to make this, but it really helps the community and the site.

I'm going to try this tutorial and create the coolest game

First I need to find some time


Has anyone made their own game based on this tut yet?

Hahahaha, I'm expecting something marvelous from you!

There are three people I know for sure, whilst two have e-mailed me for help, and a few more people said they would be trying it. I don't actually think I made a very good tutorial :X It's all copy-pasta, I don't exactly explain how it works. I may have to make an extension explaining how the whole thing works.

No problem, I actually rather enjoyed making it, it was a new thing to do and it's convinced me to continue making this game into a short, completed game. Not too much to show off, but it introduces some skills (And one of my favourites!).

The tutorial is great :]

People don't want to learn how to code in flash. It takes to much time and effort. If people follow your tutorial, they can create a quick game with their own sprites, your code and get the end result in no time. That's more fun for most people on this site.

I tried your tutorial all night long , this morning I started over and did it without your tut (didn't come far though, and used your code), so it shows your tut helps people learn how to use flash fast in no time

GOOD!!! I LIKE IT

[blasterblitz]

Lol cool guide =]
i did something like this in my computer class lols

Heres what I've come up with so far without error x]

Looking good! The next step involves the hitTest function. Read below for information about it.

The hitTest function returns a Boolean value that is used to test if two objects is colliding or an object and a single point. The syntax in AS2 is as follows: directory.object1.hitTest(directory.object2). You may already know, but the directory prior to an the refrence to the object in the hitTest parameter corresponds to the object instance name after it. You need to understand the syntax of the hitTest function as this is crucial to prevent errors and to get it right the first time; which conserves effort in the long run. There are two types of the hitTest function; normal hitTest and point. The parameters of the hitTest function are like so: [Parameter1].hitTest([Parameter2], [Parameter3], [Parameter4]). If you are performing a normal hitTest (Only the primitive boundary boxes are tested) then you only supply the first two arguments (Which are references to an object through it's instance name). If you are using a point hitTest (An object's most left part is smaller then a selected x point and the object's most right x point is greater then the selected x point and the same for the height and y properties) then you need to supply three. (ObjectBoundry1, x, y). The fourth parameter of the hitTest function is of Boolean value and is called shapeflag. It will allow users to perform hitTest's against a point where the boundary box is not the actual collision tested, but the actual object (Pixels/Vector, whatever you wish) is.

Hopefully you understood that.

i cant extract it!!

nice gilly, its even better than mine

EDIT: you can walk through walls and come back to the beginning

Yeah, I just drew a complete "trueground" around the level

Where's yours?

Edit: Heres a newer version with the proper boundary stuff:

Lmfao, I like the tags
Chobbi isn't going to be happy hahaha. Everything's working perfectly so far, try implementing poles ^-^
