My first attempt at a game which isn’t basically a fancy collection of miniature animations.
I’m not a natural at Actionscript by any means (mostly I have trouble with the syntax rather than the concepts) so I’ve been piecing it together between two tutorials, one of which is on this here website.
I’ve got my little shimp fella floating up and down and spitting loogies all over the place, and I got some animation in there, but my problem is that every time my human prawn spits, the last loogie he spat disappears.
Now, I’m thinking this is something to do with the naming of the duplicated movie clip not working correctly, thus giving all loogies spat the same name. However, I’ve fiddled with my code and I can’t find the problem. It may well be glaringly obvious to more talented folk such as yourselves, but I think I’m too Flash-dense to spot it.
Any help would be muchly, muchly appreciated
