How do I make a score counter in Flash CS5

Iam trying to make a flash counter for a shooting game where each time you shoot a enemy you get 10 points. Does anyone know the code for score counting. I have made a dynamic text box with the word "Score" in it. Thanks!

Thanks haven't tried it out yet but thanks for your help. Have another question what does this part mean where it says yourtextfield.text do you want me to leave the wording like that or do i customize this code in any way. also my game can be found here http://bluelightninggames.weebly.com/ (its the one with the tank) and if you have anymore advice that would be much appreciated!
var currentScore:int = 0;
function updateScore(n:int):void{
currentScore+=n;
yourtextfield.text=currentScore;

How can I make hyperlinks work from a Flash/SWF presentation?

How do you make hyperlinks/buttons work in Flash/SWF Captivate 5.5 presentations? This did not seem to be an issue with Version 4. I cannot publish to video (i.e. mp4) or as an executable file for posting on our internal system. If it cannot be done in Flash/SWF, how else can I get buttons/hyperlinks to work? Thank you.

I would like to inquire how to use air 2.7 sdk in flash cs5.5.

I would like to inquire how to use air 2.7 sdk in flash cs5.5.
I have searched some solutions online and tried to copy air2.7 content in air2.6 folder(replaced the old one). I then did some efficiency tests but I don't see any improvements at all. Did I miss anything?
Besides that, There's a display ratio problem if I publish the ipa in landscape mode. I can't interact with the program either. But it is not a problem if the ipa is published in portrait mode.

You can post this on Flash's forum. You should get a good answer from there.
As I understand, there should be an update in MAX. Not sure how the update will get released.

How do I make multiple buttons in my flash animation?

I am new to flash, and I have no training in it whatsoever. I
created a flash animation with flash CS3 for my photography
website, and I want to link each of the images to different
galleries on my site. When I created my first button it worked
fine, but when I try to create actions to link more than one image
as a button, keep getting an error that says "1021: Duplicate
function definition." How do I make each image as a separate
button?
I used the video of this tutorial as my guide to learn how to
create a button:
http://www.adobe.com/designcenter/flash/articles/flacs3it_firstflash_pt1.html
Also, when I run the animation to test it, it loops, and I
don't want it to loop. How do I stop it from looping?

I used the method shown in the tutorial I mentioned to create
it (created a new layer for the button, selected the area of the
image for the button,used modify -> convert to symbol
-> button, I edited it so it was an invisible button by
moving it to the hit frame, gave the selected area an instance name
of Hizumi_btn, inserted a new layer for actions and added the code
I have attached to this post.
I assumed that I would just need to repeat this procedure for
each of the other images in my animation, but when I did that I
received the error.
I greatly appreciate any help you can give me.
Thanks for the information on how to stop the animation.
Here is the code I used to create my first button.

How do I add an extended library in Flash CS5

I just installed flash CS5 and want to link my folder with my extended library classes so they are always linked when I create a new FLA. How do I make a permanent link? Can I also link .SWC files?

Its in your Preferences. Open the Preferences panel, select Actionscript. In that panel, you'll find three places to set paths to your libraries and class files.

How do I create dynamic scrolling text in Flash CS5?

Hi everyone,
I am a complete newbie to Flash. I'm tyring to build a scrolling text box that automatically scrolls. On mouse over, I want the scrolling to stop so users can click on an item in the text box. All of the items will be tied to external hyperlinks. I want to populate the text box with an external file. I've done some searches on Adobe, but haven't found anything that takes me through the whole process.
I have the complete Adobe Master Collection. So if this is easier in Flash Catalyst, let me know. I know how to buid a manual scroll box in Flash Catalyst. Could I export this to and add the auto-scrolling?
Remember, I'm a complete newbie.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Thanks again Kglad,
I really have no preference of Action Script since I don't have any significant experience with either one.
I'll keep doing searches to see if I can get the information I need.
Have a great holiday.

How do I make bootable USB mp3 player/flash disk?

hi
i have a big problem. less than a month ago i have backed up my computer using the latest version of Norton ghost v10.0. i then burned the data on to a DVD and i kept it safe. today i encountered a problem i could not cess the internet on my laptop, nor uninstall/install a program, nor get access to help and support. therefore i got the backup DVD inserted it into the DVD drive i opened Norton ghost clicked recovery and then clicked recover my computer. i told it where to look for the backup and then started restore but i then ran into an error message which says the below:
cannot complete the restore of recovery point d:\Toshiba ghost image001.v2i
-Error EC8F178F: Cannot complete the restore of recovery point: D:\Toshiba ghost image001.v2i.
--Error EC8F03F1: Cannot open recovery point 'D:\Toshiba ghost image001.v2i'.
---Error EBAB03E9: Internal Application Error: Memory Access Violation c0000005: Application tried to read memory at 034bac3c.
i have another way of restoring the data this is by making a mp3 player or flash disk boot the computer but on the flash disk there will be the operating system. is there any way to make the flash disk bootable.
i would like to know this because if it boots up from the flash disk or mp3 i can then delete the contents on the HDD and restore the data.
and also when trying to restore it says a file or program is using the file its trying to restore.
can somebody help,
regards

Hello Samee
The best way to boot the unit in DOS mode is to use external floppy drive. This drive is not expensive and if your data are so important you can invest a few euros to buy it. Using start disk you will be able to boot into DOS mode and do what you want to do.
I also recommend you to contact Norton and see if they have some simply solution how to install created image.
With mp3 player you will not be able to boot up.

How can i make a Transparent background in flash

I'm developing a web page for a small business I'm new to
flash, I have been trying to learn flash for a vary long time and
only recently had the time and resources to do it. I have
secsessfuly made the menu and actions to work how i wanted them to
so when you hover over the butten a drop down menu apears however
my problem is when i export this to the web page a white background
is present. i need it to be transparent so you can see the web page
under the flash menu. how can i obtain this effect?

In your publish settings, under the HTML tab is a dropdown
under "Window Mode". Select Transparent Windowless and hit publish.
It will generate all the needed code to do what you ask, copy that
and insert it into your desired page.
Basically learn from the flash generated example, its
properties in the embed code that have it set to "transparent".
Take a look at the source code on to see a live example.

order to acheive that. I am using Flash CS3. Ive looked around the
net for a solution, but i honestly have no idea what im searching
for.
Your help would be very much appreciated
Thanks

See which form of ActionScript you used to make the site.
Open the Actions panel and see whether you've chosen AS versions 1
& 2, or AS 3. If you've picked the earlier versions, you can
attach a link easily to each button by clicking on the button, and
adding a little code in the Actions panel. Turn on ScriptAssist to
make it easier. Click on "on" and choose "release" or "press" or
both. Then scroll down the commands on the left and add getURL. You
will then have a few lines that say something like, on(Release)
getURL("putyourpageurlhere"). See bottom for exact syntax. That's
all. The new .html or .php page will load when the button is
clicked.
If your buttons are not actually four-state buttons, but
graphic or movie clip symbols, you will have do it a little
differently. Instead of attaching the code to a button, you attach
it to a keyframe. You give your symbol an instance name in the
property panel, then in the Actions panel create a function that
says essentially: when you click on this instance (onRelease)
getURL.
If you're using AS3, the concept is similar but the code is
different. With a quick search you can find dozens of code examples
that you can cut and paste.
Here's that AS2 button code...

How do I make the button reset with Flash actionscript?

Hello, I recently made a flash banner that changes frames when you click the next frame and last frame buttons, and it also goes to the next frame on a timer. The thing is, I need the timer to go back to it's starting point when you click one of the buttons, so you don't end up seeing a frame for 2 seconds. Initially, the timer starts at 7 seconds, and when you click a button, I'd like it to go back to 7 seconds. Here's my .FLA file:
http://uppit.com/v/5761GXW6
Also, whenever the banner goes through all of the frames and comes back to the first frame with the buttons, the first frame next_btn stops working for some reason. Thanks if you can solve this.
So yea, if anyone could tell me where to put what actionscript code, or just do it and reupload it for me, I'd appreciate it a lot. Thank you. =)

K so here's the code for the timer:
var secTimer:Timer = new Timer(1000, 7);
startTimer();
//secTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, tik);
secTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER_COMPLETE, skipFrameT);
//next_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, resetTimer);
//prev_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, resetTimer);
/*function tik(e:TimerEvent):void
trace ("tik");
function startTimer ():void
secTimer.start();
//trace ("timer Started");
function skipFrameT (e:TimerEvent):void
//trace ("time stoped");
resetTimer();
play();
startTimer();
function resetTimer()
secTimer.reset();
//trace("Timer Reseted");
That spans across that one layer for every frame. I tried adding the following into every button frame on the buttons layer:
secTimer.reset();
secTimer.start();
Now, what happens is the frames never stop. It just continues to go. I need the timer to go back to 7 seconds. Thanks =)

How to specify "static" or "dynamic" text in Flash CS5?

Hmmm. Things have moved in version CS5! How would I specify text as "static" or "dynamic"? Can't seem to find the selection in the Properties palette.
Thanks-

Should be right at the top of the properties panel. Make sure to select your text box first. Also, change TLF text to classic text.

How can I create this rollover effect in Flash CS5?

I'm pretty new to Flash, and I want to create a button like these.
I understand how to make a basic rollover button, but I haven't got a clue how to do animation like that.
http://www.werkstette.dk

the easiest way would be to create one movieclip that has
1. a rectangular mask (to mask everything),
2. a dynamic textfield with whatever colored and embedded font.
3. whatever colored background
4. another textfield that has a y property greater than the mask so it's not visible until the mask is rolled over. embed the font
5. another background for the rolled over movieclip
everything will need instance names so you can control with actionscript. you can then assign rollover and rollout code to your movieclip mask.
on rollover, you'll tween the first textfield (and possibly background) to a y less than your mask. tween the textfield with easing. and you'll tween the 2nd textfield and 2nd background to about the same y as your mask. again, tween the textfield with easing but not the background.
