Hi, my name is Elliott Almanza. I’m very experienced with animation in Flash but I’m very new to Actionscript. I’m trying to make a simple Galaga-type game and I followed the instructions on how to make things fire, by Kirupa. I’m sure I will have tons of problems along the way but for now, I have two problems. One is that for some reason, every time I hit the fire button in my game, the previous bullet is erased and replaced with another one. I have applied all of Kirupa’s codes to my own instances and movie clips with the space bar being the fire button and the left and right arrows moving the ship around. The other problem I have is how to make a collision detection between all the things in the game so I can have the ship damage or explode accordingly. I hope some of you guys can help me along the way to making this game. I am actually going into game development as a career so I do take this very seriously. Please help. Thank you.
