Flash game creation tutorial – part 6a

Welcome with the 6th part.
I have to warn you, things start getting terribly serious from now on.

First, if you haven’t done it yet, read all steps from 1st to 5th, then here we go.

Time to make a small, still unfinished, but playable game.

Before explaining how I did it, let me tell you WHAT I did. Read more

Create a flash draw game like Line Rider or others – part 1

March 31st update: part 5 released
March 4th update: part 4 released
February 17th update: part 3 released
February 3rd update: part 2 released

The concept is very simple yet addictive because the player has the capability to draw the stage.
In the first part of this tutorial I’ll cover the drawing.

The first thing to do, in the first frame, is to create the object where we are going to draw.

Drawing lines in a movieclip

_root.createEmptyMovieClip("terrain", 1);

I have just created an empty movieclip called terrain (and, of course, instanced as terrain) at depth 1.

Now I have to decide the style of my line, I mean the color, the thickness and the transparency (alpha).
