Hope it helps.

Haha, oh crap, my early games broke so dang many of those rules.

…how am I to make buttons look more like buttons? I can never tend to pull that off.

Oh, one more thing, that “The Bouncy Ball” game was awful. Like, terrible awful. I played through it because I couldn’t let something that awful best me.

This list is great for backchecking and reviewing Flash games, and some of the rules apply to other games as well. I will bookmark it for prosperity.

Anyway, thanks for the list.

I’ve this code in a bullet instance on stage, which happens to tell every bullet what to do.

The bullet is not a bullet actually, it represents the whole are the shot will reach. So, it’s a large invisible rectangle in front of the shooter. My aim is to have only the enemy closest to the shooter to be hit by the shot.

It uses simple pythagorean theorem, so it’s not even big. Problem is, if I have more than two enemies on the stage, the code won’t work properly. It will only consider the two higher number MCz (let’s say enemy4 and enemy5 out of 5).

I cannot understand why.

Here is the code:

for(i=1; i<=10; i++){
this["b"+i] = _root["enemyMC"+i]._x-_root.player._x;
this["c"+i] = _root["enemyMC"+i]._y-_root.player._y;
this["distancia"+i] = Math.floor(Math.sqrt((this["b"+i]*this["b"+i]) + (this["c"+i]*this["c"+i])));

for(j=1; j<=10; j++){
if(this["distancia"+i]<this["distancia"+j]){
closest = i;
}
}
}

if(_root["enemyMC"+closest].hittester.hittesterX.hitTest(this) || _root["enemyMC"+closest].hittester.hittesterY.hitTest(this)){
_root["enemyMC"+closest].stunned=true;
_root["enemyMC"+closest].whoatked=_root.player._name;
}

I simplified it a little and translated to english some pieces.

Help will be greatly(enormously!) apprecciated.

Thanks in advance.
