Hi, I loved the tutorial and have got to work perfectly with a fly shooting some rather than a square shooting a bullet box but the codes the same.
One thing that is puzzling me that i can't work is every few seconds the movie clip leaves and instance of the fly behind. So after a while I've got heaps of them all over the screen.
Please help.

var Fly1:fly = new fly();
//comment This creates a new instance of the movie clip fly to the variable Fly1
Fly1.x = mouseX;
Fly1.y = mouseY;
addChild(Fly1);
// comment This adds the variable containing the instance of the movie clip flip to the stage

stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE,mousemove);
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN,poo);

function mousemove(e:MouseEvent):void
{
Fly1.x = mouseX;
Fly1.y = mouseY;

};

function poo(e:Event):void
{
var Fly_Poo1:fly_poo = new fly_poo;
Fly_Poo1.x = Fly1.x-20;
Fly_Poo1.y = Fly1.y-20;
addChild(Fly_Poo1);
Fly_Poo1.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,makepoo);
};

function makepoo(e:Event):void
{
e.target.y -= 10;
if(e.target.y <= -400){
e.target.removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, makepoo);
removeChild(MovieClip(e.target));
}
};

One more thing, mind if I suggest to use the: Mouse.hide(); statement? It'll make it look more neat...

Hey Sylario. You might not view this (Seems you've posted looong back ago) but it's hard to solve errors without the actual code itself. E-mail me your source at gbmokshal54@gmail.com and I'll take a look at it! This is usually an odd error and requires some time to look into...

Great tutorial! However it seems CS4 is more tough about objects.

There is two errors about player.x and player.y :

1119: Access of possibly undefined property x through a reference with static type Class. player.x=mouseX;
1119: Access of possibly undefined property y through a reference with static type Class. player.y=mouseY;

how can i correct that?

Hi, good tutorial and game!
Is there a way of putting a button into this, so you can click on it? I've tried loading this into a .fla already, and works fine, just i can't click any of the other buttons on the page.

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks - funny game btw.

Really liked your tutorial. Hope to see some collisions added to the game soon.

nice tutorial!

we are waiting for the other parts, where there will be collisions between enemy and bullet.

I think we will use hitTestObject property.

this is my code: (but it doesn't work, i don't know y can you help me plz, oh and i'm using cs4)

//Comment 1
var Player:player = new player();
Player.x = mouseX;
Player.y = mouseY;
addChild(Player);

//Comment 2
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, mousemove);
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, shoot);

//Comment 3
function mousemove(e:MouseEvent):void{
Player.x = mouseX;
Player.y = mouseY;
}

//Comment 4
function shoot(e:Event):void{
var Bullet:bullet = new bullet();
Bullet.x = Player.x;
Bullet.y = Player.y;
addChild(Bullet);
Bullet.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, moveBullet); Add an event listener to Bullet for when it enters the frame and when it does call the function moveBullet.
}

//Comment 5
function moveBullet(e:Event):void{
e.target.y -= 5;
if(e.target.y <= -10){
e.target.removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, moveBullet);
removeChild(MovieClip(e.target));
}
