Flash Game Button Rename

I need to rename the replay button as Submit button in the flash game. I am new to flash and doesn't know how to do this? I am using Flash CS5 trial version and Actionscript 3. All game components and interfaces are displayed in the library list as Movie Clip. One movie clip named MC_replay has total score display and replay button. I want to rename this button. I selected and double-clicked this movie clip, it appeared on the main screen. I right clicked the button and found no edit options. If I double click, dots are appearing on the text. How to solve this problem. Can any one help me?

What do you mean ?
Do you want to change the text to Submit ? User will see "Submit" instead of "Replay"
or
Do you want to change the instance name (for AS coding) ?
I guess you want to change just the text.
Double-click , find the text , select it , delete it and add a Text object.
Better you upload your fla file and I 'll check it.

It seems that there is an inaccuracy in flash games. It is very difficult to hit the button especially if the button is small. How can I fix that problem ?

It seems that there is an inaccuracy in flash games.
it is very difficult to hit the button especially if the button is small.
E.g. in Battle Pirate, it is difficult to switch screenview( zoom out - zoom in )
Seen in many games, so I assume it has something to do with the flash player.
Been looking in settings, but can't find anything concerning mouse settings.
How can I fix that problem ?

You will just have to use other apps for Arabic. You can ask Apple to fix this via

I think Apple's iBookstore does not yet really support Arabic books.

Adobe Flash games and buttons super small in Firefox

I recently got a new computer and I've noticed certain Adobe Flash games or other features of Adobe Flash don't load to the proper size that they used to. There is room on the screen to be bigger but it just looks like the game or features have shrunk.
I am running Windows 8.1 and have the latest versions of both Firefox and Adobe Flash. I've tried going back to past versions of FF and Flash; hasn't worked. I tried FF in Safe Mode and resetting it but those didn't work either. They worked fine on my previous computer (5 years older and running Windows Vista). I also tried resizing the pages but the games/images stay small in proportion to the resizing. I have loaded the same problem pages/games in Chrome and IE without the errors reoccurring so there has to be some combo of problems between FF and Flash. On another note... not every game running has this problem. x_x
Here's some links to some screenshots of my problem:

Maybe something went wrong when I switched over my Firefox from my previous computer?

Did you try to right-click in the Flash player area to see if you can restore the full size?
Try to clear the Flash local storage and settings.

How Can I Learn To Develop Flash Games For Under $50.00 USD?

I am completely new to anything Flash. I have never written a
single line of Actionscript. I don't know the difference between
Flash and Flex. I don't know in what forums Flash developers hang
out. I don't even know what kind of coffee they drink, or if they
drink tea instead.
However, I have developed games and have been thinking about
developing some casual games and have heard rumors that Adobe is
"pushing" causal game development with Actionscript 3 and their
latest releases. So I went to adobe.com expecting to see a link for
something like "learn how to develop games in flash" or some such.
I poked around the developer related pages and didn't find anything
I thought useful.
What I did find were plenty of stuff for *existing* flash
developers. Links to articles and HowTos for specific topics and
information about products that cost a minimum of several hundred
dollars. I can't learn how to develop games and create a prototype
with a 30-day trial, and I am not going to buy a $1000 pro-grade
tool when I am an indie developer without a budget or a pre-funded
project that would justify such expenditures.
I have seen some open source stuff, but don't know if it can
do anything more than build some annoying shaking banner ads.
So let me introduce myself as a possible use-case for Adobe
Marketing and the Flash (Game) Developer community.
I am an educated experience software developer who has a day
job doing "enterprise" software stuff. I want to *play* in my free
time (evenings and weekends) with "Flash Stuff" and learn enough to
be able to build a simple game that I can put on my personal
website and have my friends download. I am not a student, so I
can't get student discounts. The money I have goes toward
toys^H^H^H^H tools for my other coding habits^H^H^H^H^H projects. I
am not interested in 30-day trials, as I may go 45-days or more
between the first and second weekends I get to play with this. I
know OOP so I want to start out learning how to do the "advanced"
stuff from day one and not have to start with dragging and dropping
PNGs w/o any coding and then "relearn" how to do it in code so I
can do anything beyond having the image appear and rotate.
I *am* willing to put time into this endeavor, but only after
I have a few things spoon-fed to me by "advocates" who's job is to
get me "hooked" and willing to invest my time to go beyond Hello
World. At the same time I am download and playing with GarageGames,
TGE/TGB, Game Maker, Dark Basic, Blitz Basic, etc. and many
complete development environments that are full-featured and
completely free if I limit myself to releasing only freeware games,
or cost me less than $50 for the "professional" version with all
the bells and whistles.
I have heard rumors and rumblings about some open source
tools being available and Adobe maybe open sourcing some of their
previously pay-to-play tools, but also understand that Adobe can
probably provide a better "comprehensive" package of tools,
documentation, tutorials, and support, *if I can find the right
place to ask/start.*
And, most of all, I don't know where to start my search as I
have no personal contacts to bug about stuff like this.
So, where can I find the big red button to push and get
everything I want handed to me on a silver-platter.
[please understand I have written this with some attempt at
self-mocking humor and am not some clueless n00b]
Thank you for taking the time to read my lengthy posting. I
hope to find some helpful replies and start down an interesting
learning path.

Just saw your post. Better late than never. You may want to
consider GameBrix.com, where you can create Flash based, casual
games using your web browser. No downloads are required. You can
create a game from scratch using a library of images, sounds and
game mechanics. You can also upload your own. The online script
editor will allow you to view and edit the ActionScripts associated
with each game mechanic. In short, a great way to ramp up on game
design and build your own game without investing a lot of $
upfront.
BTW I am associated with GameBrix so any feedback is
appreciated.

Are Flash Professional Buttons broken in Flash Builder 4.7/AIR 3.4?

Moved my ActionScript Mobile Project game from Flash Builder 4.6 / AIR 3.2 yesterday to the new release of 4.7 / AIR 3.4. I immediately ran into a problem with Flash Professional Button's working incorrectly. The buttons have linkages in a SWC exported from Flash Professional CS6, which the project has linked. The content of the buttons doesn't seem to matter. It seems to break in different ways visually depending on it's composition (sometimes it loads unreleated bitmap data or displays with a strange transformation). Has anyone else seen this behaviour so far?

I don't have the time to create a unique project for adobe bug database. So many are having the same issue, I'm shocked that Adobe doesn't know about this already. This discussion that I'm writing in right now was started in december, almost 7 months ago.
Joseph Labrecque says in his blog that adobe does know of this issue and is working on it, he said that 6 months ago. Is he incorrect?
Joseph LabrecqueJanuary 4, 2013 at 6:21 pmGood news that Adobe is actively working on a fix for this issue.

Error#1009. Actionscript error in Flash Game I'm making...

Hi,
I'm making a Flash game and rather than putting all the AS3 on a seperate .as file, I'm throwing it on the timeline, which may or may not be a mistake since this game is getting really big, really fast and messy.
And so I'm getting this error when I test:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference at GameBeta_MainTimeline_fla::MainTimeline/frame1()
From what I've read on this error, it refers to something that isn't instantiated yet, like something that's out of order? Like I'm referring to something that doesn't exist at the point in time that I'm referring to it? So I'm looking at my AS3 and have NO idea. Here is what I have written:
stop();
//TITLE PAGE
play_game.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, startgame)
function startgame(evt:MouseEvent):void
    gotoAndStop("Name Input");
//Name and Gender input page
var userName:String;
inputField.addEventListener(Event.CHANGE, onInput)
function onInput(e:Event):void
     outputField.text = "So your name is " + inputField.text + " are you sure?";
     userName = inputField.text;
confirm_input.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, toCreationpg)
function toCreationpg(evt:MouseEvent):void
    gotoAndStop("Fem Creation");
    outputField.text = "So your name is "+ userName;
//Character Creation Page
readytostart.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, firstscene_plz)
function firstscene_plz(evt:MouseEvent):void
    gotoAndStop("Day03");
    outputField.text = "Let's make your character, "+ userName;
So, any ideas as to why I'm getting this error?
Before I had each page with it's own Actionscript and buttons inside their own movieclips on the timeline. That was getting confusing so I took everything out of the movieclips to place everything on one timeline and have one layer of Actionscript hoping to simplify things and find the problem easier. No luck. It's supposed to have a Title page and a button that goes to the 2nd page where you input your name, and while you type, it shows your name before you confirm by hitting another button that finally goes to the Character Creation page. When I test, I just get that Error#1009, it'll get to the 2nd page for the name input, but the text fields act wacky and the button to proceed isn't working. I'm hoping that when I find the source of this error, the rest will be fixed as well.
Thanks in advance for any advice offered! I'll greatly appreciate it.

Yeah, that's what makes me even more confused. I have a seperate file where I'm testing the name input mechanics alone, just using this piece of actionscript, one input box with an instance inputField and a dynamic box outputField, a button, instance enter_name, that confirms and repeats the input on the next page. And it works.
inputField.addEventListener(Event.CHANGE, onInput)
var userName:String;
function onInput(e:Event):void
     outputField.text = "You typed " + inputField.text;
     userName = inputField.text;
enter_name.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClick)
function onClick(evt:MouseEvent):void
    gotoAndStop("frame two");
    outputField.text = "So your name is "+ userName;
So I don't get the error with that seperate file so could it be that other things are conflicting with this? Perhaps the order in which I've written my actionscript or the way I've organized my frames? In my other file, it says it's the inputField Event Listener but it'll work when I take out all the other frames and script...

Flash Game Problem Need Help! Action-Script 2.0

Im making a flash game its a sniper game btw and i am have a problem with after killing the target for it to go to the next frame. I have tried on(press) on(release) for buttons i hae tried lots of different stuff (1.3 hours of trying) and so i was wondering if you could help me out. and here the link to the download for the source .fla yes i uploaded it cuz i really need the help ! thanks for any help! http://fileape.com/?act=download&t=yz6Lhp0oDdAB-7whXWB62WIoACXMVgV7r1flbKy17aJZamyC-vXNFwx tZP6pwXV50NGk3XWK9anDa4m6tBfGEtPOZwKbuZFcaFyGyEGiYqeILdcvVuEZy3QVHX3xY6S170xapkdrZJN9lov4k hxeqJ4_S6aGRpNQWjTT3MhudPLa1ZBAi79CiPqX5kN835lD7vzAU0O6WJZaK6jZBROg2A,,
or
http://fileape.com/dl/2gI8YiSW9QGzIgAu
if the top one doesnt work (the top one shouldnt have a time wait)
Thanks for all help
also please if you can find the problem itd be nice to know what it is

I will not download the .fla - maybe if you hosted the .swf I would view it.
to change frame use: gotoAndStop(<framenumber>);
(without the < >, just a number for the fram).
I recommend you use movieclips for buttons and place all code on the main timeline. For movieclips, give them an identifier name (bottom left int he properties box of the movieclip) then on the main timeline use:
movieclipName.onRelease = function(){
gotoAndStop(10);//change 10 to the frame you wish to go to. gotoAndPlay(10) plays from the frame.

Flash Game High Scores Board

Hello everyone,
I know this is a subject that gets covered a lot as i have found a ton of tutorials that show a million dfferent ways to create a high scores board on a flash game. So i decided to go out on a limb and pick a tutorial out to try. Well I have now tried 3 different ones and have yet to get a working high scores board with my game.
http://www.flashkit.com/tutorials/Games/How_to_c-Nick_Kuh-771/index.php
That is the link to the most recent attempts to creat my high scores board. When i finished everything the way the tutorial said it seemed like everything would work and then it just didnt. After spending oh about 40 plus hours trying to make a high scores board i am getting very frustrated. My game is scripted in AS2 and i have access to mysql and can set up unlimited databases.
Can anyone please help me by sending an easy to follow tutorial that will work with AS2? I would just like any kind of help right now as I feel ALL of my valid ideas have been ehausted. Thanks in advance to anyone that can help!
kapelskic

Okay not a problem.
This is my code on the very first frame of the game that initializes the the highscores.php script
command = "init";
_root.loadVariables("highscores.php?"+int(Math.random()*100000), "POST");
This is the code that I have on a submit button, next to the input text box where the user enters their name for the scoreboard.
on (release) {
if(name ne ""){
command = "update";
_root.loadVariables("highscores.php?"+int(Math.random()*100000), "POST");
gotoAndStop ("highScores");
In every place the code says _root. I have also tried this. and neither of them work. I have also tried a million other things. So far the game plays through, goes to the game over screen where it asks for a user name and tells them their score. Then once they press submit the game goes to the highScores screen but the name and score are not there. The high scores screen cosists of 2 dynamic text fields one named "players" and one named "scores". I hope this helps because I spent another 5 or so hours after my initial posts trying more tutorials with still no luck. (the problem i am having is that i am new to flash, however not to PHP)

Flash Game Submit Score Problem

I need to modify the flash game Replay button as Submit button and to redirect to other page(gamescore.html) after clicking the Submit button. I am new to flash. I don't know how to modify the script. Please help me. Here is the total score display portion of the script where replay button is there:
//Set the total score
                                    _totalScore = _distanceToCity + _distanceToCity * ((_obstacleCount - _obstacleHit)/_obstacleCount);
                                    _retry.score_txt.text = _totalScore.toString();
                                    _retry.distance_txt.selectable = false;
                                    _retry.time_txt.selectable = false;
                                    _retry.obstacles_txt.selectable = false;
                                    _retry.obstaclesHit_txt.selectable = false;
                                    _retry.score_txt.selectable = false;
                                    _retry.buttonMode = true;
                                    _retry.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, retry);
//Retry function, removes all platforms and reinitializes all the game's values
function retry(event:MouseEvent):void
            try
                        event.currentTarget.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, retry);
                        removeChild(MovieClip(event.currentTarget));
                        initialization();
            catch(err:Error)
                        trace("catch error 1009 on retry");

i'm surprised score ever reaches 500 because _root.score and
score (in the context of that onEnterFrame handler are different.
anyway, try:

Can you help with a misplaying online Flash game?

I don't know if this question is appropriate for this forum, but here's taking a chance, and I hope you can help.
A Flash game I play at discovery.com worked fine about a year ago. I stopped playing it for several months, and then went back to it.
When I went back to it it didn't play fully any more. It gets to a certain level, then hangs at the same spot every time (some screens download but not enough components to play the game).
I clear my cache every day, so it's not that. I've updated Firefox (twice since the problem started), so it's not that. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the Flash player - same problem happens. I've tried disabling my add ons - no change. I've tried two other browsers, and the game either stops at the same point, or earlier. I've tried allowing the relevant cookies; doesn't seem to make a difference.
I've tried messing with Adobe's Flash Global Settings, trying them in different configurations (allowing everything, allowing nothing, and every switch in between); no help.
I fiddle with my security settings sometimes and wonder if I changed some default setting that is blocking something, or some automated security upgrade in the later browser(s) is doing something.
I don't seem to have any other Flash problems on my computer (videos play fine); the "test" at Adobe.com works. I have the latest version.
I'm no technie so if you have an idea, thanks for your input.

Please check if all your plugins are up-to-date. To do this, go to the [http://mozilla.com/plugincheck Mozilla Plugin Check site].
Once you're there, the site will check if all your plugins have the latest versions.
If you see plugins in the list that have a yellow ''Update'' button or a red ''Update now'' button, please update these immediately.
To do so, please click each red or yellow button. Then you should see a site that allows you to download the latest version. Double-click the downloaded file to start the installation and follow the steps mentioned in the installation procedure.

I can't play some flash games

This happens in some flash games, namely in Kongregate. After
the game is loading, this message appears "Adobe Flash Player
Settings. Local Storage : chat.kongregate.com is requesting
permission to store information on your computer". Then, there's
these buttons "allow" and "deny", when i click one of them, nothing
happens. I even tried to right click on it but the settings aren't
"clickable" either. Can anyone help?

There is no flash for any mobile device.

Having problems running flash games

hello, I frequently play flash games on, what I consider to be, reputable websites; places like bored, 4v4, notdoppler, gamershood, and phyiscsgames24.
however some of these games do not work on my computer, they either; load, and I am unable to continue past a certain point (usually the title screen, or level select screen) because none of the button images respond to clicks); or they load an image, but there isn't anything that looks clickable in the flash; or they remain blank (or white) until I close them (~10 minutes after loading them). I've tried many of them in different browsers: Firefox (multiple versions), Google Chrome (multiple versions) and internet explorer (multiple versions) and if a game doesn't work in one of them it hasn't worked in the others either. as well as this problem has existed over multiple version updates of the player plugin. I've had this problem for years on Windows Vista Ultimate, and it's continuing in Windows 7 (same laptop, upgraded OS). I was successful in playing games on notdoppler on a different computer that ran old Internet explorer 6 and windows XP.
I talked with support on Notdoppler, and he said the games were working for him
how do I get these games to work for me, in all of my browsers?

Car Customization (Flash Game) Problem

I'm currently making a car customization flash game, i've already done the coloring part (while user click "Red", the car become "Red").
The problem is i want to add an animation before changing the color, eg: when user click "Red", a sprayer is going left to right, and the car become "Red" after that. So i make a movie clip named "Spray", and i got 5 labels "Red", "Green", "Yellow", "Orange", "Blue" in following order, i add the movie clip in every label, but it look weird because when user click "Red", it play the movie clip and become "Red", after that user click "Orange", the car will become "Black" (Black is default color of the car) when playing the movie clip. And user click "Green", it become "Black" again before changing to "Green". It always become default color when user choose other colors.
What i want is remain the car's color when user choose the other color, eg: when user choose "Red", it play the movie clip first, and become "Red", after that user choose "Orange", it play the movie clip and remain "Orange" color in the same time, after that it change to "Orange", and so on so forth.
Any solution for this? Thanks

Ok,i will describe the scene that i haven't make the "Spray" movie clip yet, so i won't confuse you. In the main scene, I got 1 movie clip, inside got few labels, as i mentioned before, "Red", "Green", "Yellow", "Orange", and "Blue" labels. Frame 1 contain a image, which is the black color's car image, the other labels contain different color of car image. So the sequence is Frame 1 is the black car, Frame 2 is the "Red" label, Frame 3 is the "Green" label, and continue until Frame 6.
I got another movie clip which is in the main scene, inside this movie clip is a menu and button, which contain different type of buttons that allow user change the color. It only have 1 Frame, and here is the AS:
var myCarArray = [Red, Green, Yellow, Orange, Blue];
for each (var Car in myCarArray) {
Car.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onCarClick);
Car.buttonMode = true;
function onCarClick (event:MouseEvent):void {
MovieClip(parent).car_color.gotoAndStop(event.target.name);
So what should i do in order to archive the target that i want? I need to show some animation before changing the car's color.

Flash mouse buttons sometimes not working

Sometimes in Flash applications, it doesn't listen to left mouse button clicks on button controls anymore. Does anyone know a solution for this that actually works?
Many people report this problem with Youtube movies, but personally I'm a Newgrounds.com Flash game gamer, so it's even more annoying to me.
Thanks.

See the Wiki page which has a section on this problem.
(There is also this is from the Ubuntu bugtracker. but I think most of the workarounds would apply to Arch as well.)
If I'm not mistaken, however, this only affects those running 32-bit flash on a 64-bit system with a wrapper. Consider installing the new beta native 64-bit flashplayer Adobe recently released (flashplugin-prerelease in AUR). Discussion here.

Most flash games not working?

when i try to play a flash game sometimes certain things dont work like the play button or it freezes i have tried other websites browsers tried removeing flash and reinstalling it with the latest version and still doesnt seem to work my operating system is windows 7 64bit and my browsers are firefox and internet explorer 8 my flash version is 11,1,102,62

I was able to play this game on Firefox on my Win 7 system. When you removed Flash and reinstalled, did you follow the procedures in the following FAQ? In particular, I'd like to make sure that your Flash cache is removed, so make sure you delete the folders listed.
How do I do a clean install of Flash Player?
Thanks,
