Click game part 2

This Flash tutorial is a continuation of the clicking game tutorial. This time I will add addition features to the game. The final score will be displayed in a separate scene with an appropriate message. An optional restart button will also be included.

Before you attempt this tutorial be sure to have completed the previous part. I have used an Action script 2.0 file for this tutorial.

Clicking game part 2

Step 1

On the timeline right click on the 1st frame of the actions layer and select Actions. And add the additional code below, most of it should look familiar.

ball._visible = false;
total = 0;
hits = 0;
end = 20;
ball.btn.onPress = function() {
_root.hits++;
ball._visible = true;
};

seeBall = function () {
if (total < end){
ball._x = Math.random()*300;
ball._y = Math.random()*300;
ball._visible = true;
total++;
} else {
ball._visible = false;
gotoAndStop("Scene 2", 1);
clearInterval(doball);
}
};
doball = setInterval(seeBall, 800);


Step 2

Select shift + F2 to open up the scene panel. And click the little black plus sign to add a new scene. You should notice a new scene appear on the scene panel and the stage should now be blank.




Step 3

Now select the static text tool (T) and type your message on the stage. I type the following below, but you can type whatever you want.



And then select the dynamic text tool and drag a small box below your text. This dynamic text box will display your final score.


Step 4

Using the selection tool (V) select the dynamic text box on the stage. And in the properties at the bottom of the screen, type “hits” for the variable. This allows you to link the hits acquired from the game to the dynamic text box.




Step 5 - Restart button

Now create your restart button on the stage. If you don’t know how to create a button, checkout the basic buttons tutorial. I made a simple circle text button, but you can create whatever kind of button you wish.



Now convert your button into a symbol by pressing F8. Choose an appropriate name, check button and click ok.

Right click on your button and select Actions and enter the following code:

on (release){
gotoAndStop("Scene 1" ,1);

}


Step 6

Test your movie clip Ctrl + enter.



You should now have a clicking game. I have also included a custom cursor.
