this is my game ...... there are 9 targets moving randomly (via code) and when you click them they disappear and you get 5 points...
i made a menu btn and when you click the btn it goes to the main menu........
if you click start it starts a new game.... so i want it to continue from where you quit ....
can you help me continue from where you quit ???

THIS IS MY CODE:

var array:Array =
[
target,
target1,
target2,
target3,
target4,
target5,
target6,
target7,
target8

var velY:Number = 8;

init();

function init():void
{
for each (var b:MovieClip in array)
{
b.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, ballClick);
b.buttonMode = true;
b.mouseChildren = false;
}
resume_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, resumeClick);
stop_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, pauseClick);
stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, updateBall);
}

function ballClick(e:MouseEvent):void
{
var b:MovieClip = e.target as MovieClip;
removeChild(b);
array.splice(array.indexOf(b), 1);
trace(array.length);
}

function pauseClick(e:MouseEvent):void
{
stage.removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, updateBall);
}

function resumeClick(e:MouseEvent):void {
stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, updateBall);
}
function updateBall(event:Event):void
{
for each (var t:MovieClip in array)
{
t.x += velX;
t.y += velY;

if (t.x > stage.stageWidth - t.width / 2 || t.x < 0 + t.width / 2)
{
velX *= -1;

}
else if (t.y > stage.stageHeight - t.height / 2 || t.y < 0 + t.height / 2)

}
}
}

Could you please format the code and use [as]-tags.

Okay, it resets the app because every time the app returns to frame one the app calls init() function. So if you visit say in frame 7 and then come back to frame 1 the app will be reseted.

To avoid that you could just put the init() function call inside the condition that tests if it have been called yet or not, for example:

ActionScript Code:

if(!target.buttonMode)
{
    init();
}

* * *

I'd suggest also to use only one init() function call at least in single frame, and also there is no point to make many "click" event listener for single button. Just use single listener and put all tasks inside single eventlistener handler function.

For example change this:

ActionScript Code:

function init():void
{
    for each (var b:MovieClip in array)
    {
        b.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, ballClick);
        b.buttonMode = true;
        b.mouseChildren = false;
    }
    resume_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, resumeClick);
    stop_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, pauseClick);
    stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, updateBall);
}

function pauseClick(e:MouseEvent):void
{
    stage.removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, updateBall);
}

//... some code between. Don't remove!

stop_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, pausemenu)
function pausemenu (event:MouseEvent):void{
    resume_btn.visible = true;
    backpause.visible = true;
    menu.visible = true;
    main.visible = true;
}
stop_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, stopMovie);
function stopMovie(e:MouseEvent):void {
    myTimer.stop();
}

to this:

ActionScript Code:

function init():void
{
    for each (var b:MovieClip in array)
    {
        b.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, ballClick);
        b.buttonMode = true;
        b.mouseChildren = false;
    }
    resume_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, resumeClick);
    
    // you have a click listener for the stop_btn already
    stop_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, pauseClick);
    stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, updateBall);
}

function pauseClick(event:MouseEvent):void{
    stage.removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, updateBall);
    resume_btn.visible = true;
    backpause.visible = true;
    menu.visible = true;
    main.visible = true;
    myTimer.stop();
}

//... some code between. Don't remove!

And if you need to do some code snippet many times, it would be better to make single function that handles the task and call function instead of repeating the whole code.

for example change then these:

ActionScript Code:

{
    resume_btn.visible = false;
    backpause.visible = false;
    menu.visible = false;
    main.visible = false;
}

//... some code between. Don't remove!

function pauseClick(event:MouseEvent):void{
    stage.removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, updateBall);
    resume_btn.visible = true;
    backpause.visible = true;
    menu.visible = true;
    main.visible = true;
    myTimer.stop();
}

//... some code between. Don't remove!

resume_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, resumegame);
function resumegame (e:MouseEvent):void {
    resume_btn.visible = false;
    backpause.visible = false;
    menu.visible = false;
    main.visible = false;
    myTimer.start();
}

to this:

ActionScript Code:

toggleVisible();
//... some code between. Don't remove!

function pauseClick(event:MouseEvent):void{
    stage.removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, updateBall);
    toggleVisible();
    myTimer.stop();
}

//... some code between. Don't remove!

resume_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, resumegame);
function resumegame (e:MouseEvent):void {
    toggleVisible();
    myTimer.start();
}

function toggleVisible():void
{
    resume_btn.visible = !resume_btn.visible;
    backpause.visible = !resume_btn.visible;
    menu.visible = !resume_btn.visible;
    main.visible = !resume_btn.visible;
}

Note that you have also several event listeners for the clic event of the resume_btn button and several handler functions for the click. You should not make many times the same thing.

...and then:

And when all your targets behaves exactly same way when ever clicked, you should use single handler function to to listen the mouse click of them. Add listener for each target in init() function where you already loop them through.

So you should change this:

ActionScript Code:

toggleVisible();

//... some code between. Don't remove!

init();

function init():void
{
    for each (var b:MovieClip in array)
    {
        b.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, ballClick);
        b.buttonMode = true;
        b.mouseChildren = false;
    }
    resume_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, resumeClick);
    stop_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, pauseClick);
    stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, updateBall);
}

//... some code between. Don't remove!

to this:

function init():void

        b.buttonMode = true;
        b.mouseChildren = false;
    }
    resume_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, resumeClick);
    stop_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, pauseClick);
    stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, updateBall);
    
    // make set up for the app in the init() function
    toggleVisible();
    clip.buttonMode = true;
}

function ballClick(e:MouseEvent):void
{
    var b:MovieClip = e.target as MovieClip;
    removeChild(b);
    array.splice(array.indexOf(b), 1);
    trace(array.length);
    // update the score every time the ball get clicked
    updateScore();
}

//... some code between. Don't remove!

function updateScore():void
{
    score += 5;
     scorecounter.text = score.toString();
}

// and finally check if init() function have been called already or not
if(!clip.buttonMode)
{
    // you should also define all those variables here which you 
    // don't want to reset automatically when ever the frame 1 
    // will be called
    // and at last call init();
    init();
}

...that's for the start.

In that case you need to be more specific.

That seems to me a step in the right direction.

You may need to move other stuff into the init function, like maybe when you set the initial values for the velocities to 8.

And rather than toggleVisible, I might have gone this direction:

Code:

function setVisible(vis:Boolean):void
{
    resume_btn.visible = vis;
    backpause.visible = vis;
    menu.visible = vis;
    main.visible = vis;
}

And then I can call setVisible(true) or setVisible(false);

PasD · 04-19-2012, 01:14 PM

you put your main menu in a movieClip, not frame 1. Put the menu Clip on top of all the others by using stage.setChildIndex(menu,stage.numChildren-1). When you click "Menu" button, the menu MC is visible (.visible = true). Then when you click resume, the .visible is false. That way, everything stays, but in the background.

When you first start the game, the background is blank.
