Hi everyone,

I’m new in AS3 and I’m having a hard time getting started.

I need help to create a basic “shooting targets” game and the only thing I managed to do is create a crosshair and make it the mouse pointer. I wanted to have multiple targets (movieclips) coming into the stage (dinamically created) at random border positions travelling in a somewhat random direction. The targets would disappear when I clicked them, with the crosshair cursor.

I found some tutorials but they all use the actions of the movieclips, which apparently aren’t supported in AS3.

Anyone, please?

Thanks

Chiapa
