Variables - part 2 - text

Variables - part 2 - text

hi again , this is the second part of the Variables tutorials!

So in the last tutorial we were using numbers and doing things to it . (e.g. adding , taking away elc..). in this tutorial (part 2) were going to use letters instead. if you have read my first tutorial you might of found it a bit hard to understand so i made this one super easy !.

The main aim in this tutorial is to make a user name box. these. These are VERY important if your make a action/adventure game or really any game :)

(note: thanks to Christian for providing the flash 5 codes for the first tutorail , use this instead. money = money + 10 and vice versa for -10 )

here's what YOUR going to make:

Here's something i made:

ok so lets start.

start up flash if you haven't or ready..

1) on your first frame make a text box.

2) change the text box it a input text box

3) now at the bottom of the input text box type " name " in to the var: box

4) now on that frame give it the actionscript

stop()

5) now make a new key frame

6) make another text box

7) this time make it a dynamic text box

8) in the var: box type " name "

9) now give this frame the actionscript:

stop()

-------------------

you have now done the hard bit! this is just finishing off!

-------------------

10) now go back to the first frame and make a button.

11) give it this actionscript:

on(press) {
play()
}

12) on the second frame you could put some static text saying your name is:

13) the same could be done on the first frame saying type your name here:

i hope this was help-full if you have ANY flash problems please do feel free to ask them at ed@edmarriner.co.uk
