» Title: Creative DW Image Show PRO
» Description: Creative DW Image Show PRO is a Dreamweaver extension which enables the user to create multimedia presentations. It combines the features of the popular Creative DW Image Show with the ability to add professional text effects to slides (similar to After Effects). The product is very customizable: the user can choose the duration of the transition effects, the slide motion start and end position, zoom and panning type for both images and texts.
You can test your movie now to see the positioning of the symbols. If the sybols overlap, change the «distance_step» variable to make more room between them.
Next, we need a function that removes the symbols after the player «lost a life». This function should also check the number of remaining lifes. If there are no more lifes left, the function should perform a specific task, like jumping to an another frame to display the «Game Over» screen etc. This function will be implemented like a native flash function, so than we will have the great advantage to access this function from every timeline. Here's the code:
Object.prototype.remove_life_from_stage = function(clip_name, tries_left) {
if (tries_left == 0) {
//CHANGE HERE TO MAKE THE MOVIE DO SOMETHING ELSE
_root.play();
}
for (i = MAX_LIVES; i> tries_left; i--) {
removeMovieClip(clip_name + "" + i);
}
};
Now the prototype of the function looks as follows:
remove_life_from_stage(clip_name, tries_left);
Now you can use this function in every timeline. Take a look at this pseudocode:
