By the end of these 3 tutorials you will have a basic understanding of hittest, and hopefully the beginning to your game!
I expect you to have some form of understanding of flash, but I will try to make it as basic as possible. Also I’d like to say sorry for the format of my last 3 tutorials- I wasn’t used to the system.
Let’s get going!
Open up Flash MX or Flash MX 2004 (I’m getting really bored of saying this…), and create a new layer, and call it Character. Now let’s create our character. Now, you have several choices:
1) To use the one provided in the .zip file provided
2) Draw a circle
3) Have a really silly looking guy…(I’ll explain now)
Unfortunately, I don’t have a simple script to make a character jump, so it will float! (Ascend)
Now, create it into a Movie Clip and call it (MC and INSTANCE) “character”
