[SOLVED] simple catch the ball game

[ahwell]

hi
im looking for a tutorial on how to make a simple flash game. It has to look a bit like this.
items are dropped from above and u have to catch them through sliding a basket underneath it. i would b happy if i find this simple version and even happier if theres a score and a adjust the speed thing in it.Or mayb someone knows the AS for this.
i've been looking on the net for the last 3 hrs but cant find any
hope someone can help,

First of all you need two movieclips, one for your balls and one for your basket.

Then you should create a script to randomly drop balls from top of the screen with attachMovie.

Second you need to control your basket movement with your keyboard or mouse movements, with listeners.

For testing if the ball hits the basket you can use hitTest method, but it has one problem that when ball hits the basket bounding box it will return true, the best method is to calculate the ball distance with basket, it is more accurate...

tell me if you need more info

Code: Select all

onClipEvent (load) { _root.hitz = 0; this._alpha = 0;}onClipEvent (enterFrame) { this._y -= _root.speedz; this._rotation += 7; if (this._y<=-80) {  this._alpha = 100; } if (this._y<=-380 && _root.hitz == 0) {  gotoAndPlay(2);  _root.missed += 1;  _root.hitz = 1; }  if (_root._currentframe == 3) {  _parent.nextFrame(); } }

Im using this code at some point and it makes the ball go up..but i want it to come down..

Code: Select all

this._y -= _root.speedz;

would u know ho to change this bit i think it is?

thanks
