I’ve just started to learn actionscript 2.0 and I’m in the process of trying to create a simple adventure style game. Basically, i have an character that on keyboard movement will travel from one to room to another (kind of like Zelda). I have it working but I feel I’m doing it the wrong way. For example, I start off in room one and place movie clips for the exit points to others rooms and label them accordingly. I give the character a script…
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (_root.character.hitTest(_root.exitRm2)) {
_root.gotoAndPlay(“Room2”);
}
Once in Room2 I would give the character a script to go back to Room1
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (_root.character.hitTest(_root.exitRm1)) {
_root.gotoAndPlay(“Room1”);
It works but the problem is once back to Room1 the character appears in his original starting position and not the entrance point from Room2. I got it working by creating a new frame for the character, named the frame Room1b, and so forth…if that makes any sense. But I’m sure that’s not the correct way.
I’m sure there’s a better way to do this but haven’t found any tutorials on this. Thanks in advance for any help!
