Game creation - HELP ME!

Finding a decent, free flash 8 tutorial on the internet for game creation, is no easy task. I have been through this frustration time and time again, and I am getting nowhere. My actionscript is very basic and I desperately need something to go on.
I have a game project, in which I have an enemy. One enemy. I would like to duplicate this enemy until there are five on the screen at once, and when I hit my enemies, more will appear as a constant wave of enemies until the character dies.
How can I do this?

As mentioned, the help documents and Google are some of the best resources for all levels of users. You can find FREE information/tutorials on just about every aspect of Flash. Another good approach is to pick a project, get to work on it, and use these tools as needed to solve the design puzzles you are confronted with. That's pretty much how I've always done things.
I've already pointed you in the direction for what you need to look into for dynamically adding new instances of things, so your first stop should be in the help documents to see what that method involves. And if there isn't enough information there for you to comfortably start trying things, then search Google.

Is Adobe AIR/Flex good to begin in game creation ?

Hi all !
I have a little question, I want to begin to learn how to create little games (2D games first) (I'm more a Web/Server Side Programmer/Administrator than a Desktop pPogrammer), and I would like to know is Adobe AIR/Flex (without using the Flash IDE if possible) is good for that ?
It looks a lot easer than the others ways (Java, C++, python), no needs to think in "threads","mutex",etc and other things like that, and the multimedia API help a lot for the video/sound side
So, what about creating games with Adobe AIR ? What about performances ? Is it possible to create 3D games ?
Thank you !

Personally I'm still debating whether to start learning iPhone development or AIR at this particular point.
At any rate, anything you can do in Flash you can do in Air, so I'd probably start with the Kongregate game creation tutorial. It's AS2 not AS3, but it will give you an idea what you can accomplish with a couple hours of development.
No idea how good it is for 3D, but a lot of those "virtual tour" things are done in Flash. Probably not your best starting point if your plan is to make your own FPS but...

Simple/newbie 2D game creation

this is my first attempt at creating any game. i am unsure how to even begin creating a simple 2D game similar to old "Hugo's House Of Horrors" for dos. It's kind of like the final fight in the way the characters move through the environment. any help is appreciated

the first step is to sit down and write on paper, this has helped me, and plan the game out. The main points in animation/game creation is the x and y coordinates u must understand those like u would english. then the if statements that come with determining if one object ( a space ship ) is in in another objects ( enemy space ship ) space or the same x and y coordinate...remember u must always map everything out.
www.google.com search: java game programming
that should set u on your way..

Game creation on a mac

I know this might not be the right place to post this sort of topic...but, I was wondering what the best tools are for game creation on a mac. I have heard Unity and Torque Gam Engine are good ones but I am hopefully looking toward something that is freeware. Any suggestions?
I have heard there are engines for Unreal and Quake, etc that are free...

Snapz Pro supports digital audio capture, and microphone capture.
Check This Page out. There's trial download available.
Regarding the timing of the subtitles or captions in iMovie, what I did was to place the playhead (the moving triangle) where I wanted the subtitle inserted (the subtitle starts from that very point, and lasts as long as you set it in the Speed slider), Edit/Split Video Clip at Playhead and then dragged the subtitle from the gallery to that place in the timeline.
Some subtitles can last up to a few seconds, and ohers, like "Music Video", up to ten minutes.

Just installed the latest Version of Firefox and it wont play any videos or games? Help, so tired and frustrated with this web browser.

I just installed the newest version of Firefox version30. It wont play videos on youtube but i figured out what to do to fix that (change to "never activate" on Shockwave Flash add-on in plugins).
But if i leave that setting on then the game that i try to play on Facebook tells me turn on flash and when i do i still get a blank screen on FB. What do i need to do?
Im sure theres a simple answer. Ive tried at least 6 different things by reading others solutions and they have not worked. I dont get why why im still having problems WHEN I JUST FRESHLY INSTALLED THE NEWEST FIREFOX AVAILABLE FROM YOUR SITE!!
These annoyances are exactly the reason I and many others have left Firefox for Chrome after being loyal for many years. Help please!

Try to set the Flash plug to click-to-play by setting the permissions for Flash to "Ask To Activate" in "Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Plugins". That way you can activate the Flash plugin when you need it via the Lego block icon on the location bar.
Also, I don't even see Flash listed as installed on Firefox. Are you sure you have it installed? Try downloading it from the below site

HT4759 Game Center games iCloud help

I have my games in Game Center but don't know how to download it from there and I have a new IPad so tried downloading through iCloud but can't seem to be able to get into it help please

Hey there Sanchezmoya!
I have a couple of articles here that may help you with this question. If you need to re-download the actual apps for the games you are wishing to play, you can find those in the past purchases of your Apple ID:
Downloading past purchases from the iTunes Store, App Store, and iBooks Store

If you have a backup you can restore from (if you had an iPad previously), then you can see this article for information on how to restore from your previous backup and access your game saves:

Game Center Help!

I can't log into my Game Center account.
I opened Game Center one day to see that I had been logged out. I didn't think much of this and just went ahead and hit the "Sign In" button, but when I did, this message came up:
"This Apple ID has not yet been used in Game Center. Tap Continue to set up your account."
I was quite confused when I saw this, seeing as how I had used my Game Center account for several months. I've tried googling the problem and haven't found any solutions. I've tried quitting Game Center and all supported games and relogging but it hasn't done much.
I've also made a different account and tried logging in with it, and it worked. I tried logging back into my original account and I still have the same problem. I don't want to go ahead and recreate the Game Center account because I have a lot of games linked with it, not to mention all my friends.
I was wondering if anyone had a solution to this problem. The only slightly helpful post I've seen tells me to make an account in sandbox mode, logout and try logging in again via a Game Center supported game, but I can't figure out how to make a sandbox account. Any comments/help would be greatly appreciated.

Photoshop CS4, 3D Model Creation help

Hello,
I am a video editor and have the Adobe CS4 suite.
I would like to ask the community for the best and easiest way to achieve this:
- Create 3D text for end use in After Effects
- Take an Illustrator file like a Logo and extrude it to make a 3D model for use in After effects
It seems 3D programs have so many options that simple tasks are way more involved than I have time for.
I just want to take a client supplied logo or some text, give it some depth and use it in After Effects as a 3D object.
I have seen a plugin for Photoshop from Strata that might be a good option, but I only looked at their website.
Thanks for your help and input.

While I will say that what the OP wants isn't do able in Photoshop. You can
doing it using Illustrator and Photoshop, but not Photoshop alone. However,
Jim isn't 100% correct either. Photoshop does have some limited 3D creation
capabilities. One of which is turning a flat photo of say the Grand Canyon
in to a 3D plane that one can then move through in 3D space. You can also
mape flat photos to simple 3D objects like spheres, etc.
However, Jim is also correct that Photoshop isn't like Maya, etc. it doesn't
create complex 3D models and things like that. It is more to complement
applications like Maya, etc.
BTW if you would like to see the photo to 3D plane feature in action take a
look at:
http://av.adobe.com/russellbrown/MeshFromGrayCanyon_SM.mov
It is actually a pretty cool option.

i think im wrong.. nevermind then..There are a lot of experts here, most of them just
ignore vague questions with pages of code, stated as
an emergency, especially when the code is not formated
using code tags.
The fact that you expect an answer within 10 minutes
of your original post is ridiculous on any day, but
even more so on a Friday afternoon and even more so on
a holiday.
Actually..I am wondering where "pinkpawn.jpg" relates to the AskQuestion (paraphrased) "Encourage her to continue smoking"...
But I'm not curious enough to hurt my already damaged eyesight further...

Flash Game Ground HELP!

Hello all, I just started with flash and I'm pretty new to the language.
I am currently making a game in flash and have a sprite that needs to jump up to platforms.
He stands on the first rectangle I made but doesn't land on the others and passes right through them.
I have changed the character code many times to no avail. I have tried other ways but he falls through the main ground platform when I change.
Here's the code on my character, there is no code on the platforms. (I have tried coding the platforms which don't help either)
onClipEvent (load) {
speed = 8;
isJumping = false;
jumpSpeed = 0;
startY = _y;
scale = _xscale;
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (isJumping) {
_y += jumpSpeed;
jumpSpeed += .86;
if (_y>=startY) {
_y = startY;
isJumping = false;
speed = 8;
} else {
if (Key.isDown(Key.UP)) {
isJumping = true;
jumpSpeed = -15;
speed = 8;
if (Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)) {
play();
_x -= speed;
_xscale = -scale;
} else {
if (Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)) {
play();
_x += speed;
_xscale = scale;
} else {
stop();
If there is more info I can provide to help, I will.
Thank you.

to have a game with Gravity, Jumping, and Ground Detection, first you need to make sure you enable all of these.
GRAVITY-
Gravity sounds weird and tricky but its also very simple.
Theres a simple layout of code to enable Gravity.
onClipEvent (load) {
     var Grav:Number = 0;
     var Gravity:Number = 5;
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
     _y += Grav;
     Grav += Gravity;
What that does is adds a consistent pull on the MC you place it into. Adding a Gravity like effect.
JUMPING-
Jumping is also very simple once you've done it once or twice, and as i seen in your code you have.
I will add Jumping to the previous code now.
onClipEvent (load) {
     var Grav:Number = 0;
     var Gravity:Number = 5;
     var maxJump:Number = -22
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
     _y += Grav;
     Grav += Gravity;
     if (Key.isDown(Key.UP)) {
     Grav = maxJump;
The maxJump variable is the height of the jump and can be modified to your liking, REMEMBER to always have the number as a minus - since flashes y axis is backwards.
GROUND DETECTION-
This is something i did not see in your code, which i believe it your issue.
Ground Detection is very simple but hard to figure out with out good know how of Flash.
First, make your Ground convert it to a MC, name it whatever you like.
Second, set the Instance Name of your Ground MC, to "Ground" (no brackets).
Third make sure all of you level/games ground is within this MC or within another MC with "Ground" as the Instance Name.
I will add the Ground Detection to the previous code now.
onClipEvent (load) {
     var Grav:Number = 0;
     var Gravity:Number = 5;
     var maxJump:Number = -22
     var touchingGround:Boolean = false;
     var Ground:MovieClip = _root.ground;
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
     _y += Grav;
     Grav += Gravity;
     while (Ground.hitTest(_x, _y, true)) {
          _y -= Gravity;
          Grav = 0;
     if (Ground.hitTest(_x, _y+5, true)) {
          touchingGround = true;
     } else {
          touchingGround = false;
     if (Key.isDown(Key.UP) && touchingGround){
          Grav = maxJump;
Take your time to learn this and study it and re-build it on your own, or just use it and add to it.

OS X Sound Glitch In ALL Games! Help!

Hello,
Recently all of my games suddenly stopped making sound! I don't know what is going on. A few nights ago I installed some DivX Codecs, and an AC3 sound codec, I thought maybe that has something to do with it but I'm not sure. This is in all of my games, such as Wolfenstien: ET and Knights of the Old Republic etc...
Any and all help will be much appreciated!
Thanks,
iMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.6)

I solved the problem by reading up a little bit on the crash and the solution is to open Audio Midi setup utility and to set the output to 44100 Hz
