Hi!  
I’m quite new to flash, and have been learning AS3 via tutorials and snippets online. I found this shooting the star game, and I needed some help in creating it…  
[http://flashadvanced.com/creating-small-shooting-game-as3/](http://flashadvanced.com/creating-small-shooting-game-as3/)

I have created the flash.fla file as described in that tutorial, but I took it one step further by adding a DocumenClass.as to it… I declared all the functions in it and the variables too… but somehow it’s not working…

Here’s the “ShootingStarFullClass.as” file that I made using the same functions and variables with some alterations…

```auto
package {	import flash.display.MovieClip;
	//importing tween classes
	import fl.transitions.easing.*;
	import fl.transitions.Tween;
	import flash.utils.Timer;
	import flash.events.*;
	import flash.ui.Mouse;
	
	
	//Call this class the SAME NAME as the file - VERY IMPORTANT
class ShootingStarFullClass extends MovieClip
  {
	
var star:Star = new Star();
//creating the timer
var timer:Timer = new Timer(1500);
var clickTime:Timer = new Timer(1);
//we create variables for random X and Y positions
var randomX:Number;
var randomY:Number;
//variable for the alpha tween effect
var tween:Tween;
//we check if a star instance is already added to the stage
var starAdded:Boolean = false;
//we count the points
var points:int = 0;
var t:int = 0;
var gameOver:Boolean = false;

public function ShootingStarFullClass()
    {
      //nothing needs to go here for you today...
    }
	
	
	
public function timerHandler(e:TimerEvent):void {
	//first we need to remove the star from the stage if already added
	if(starAdded){
		removeChild(star);
	}

	//positioning the star on a random position
	randomX = Math.random()*500;
	randomY = Math.random()*300;
	star.x = randomX;
	star.y = randomY;
	//adding the star to the stage
	addChild(star);
	//changing our boolean value to true
	starAdded = true;
	//adding a mouse click handler to the star
	star.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickHandler);
	//animating the star's appearance
	tween = new Tween(star, "alpha", Strong.easeOut, 0, 1, 3, true);
	
	if(t>5) {
	gameOver = true;
	removeChild(star);
	starAdded = false;
	}
if(gameOver){
		gotoAndPlay("gameover");
		}

}

public function cursorMoveHandler(e:Event):void{
	//sight position matches the mouse position
	sight.x = mouseX;
	sight.y = mouseY;
}

public function clickHandler(e:Event):void{
	if(starAdded)
	{
		removeChild(star);
		starAdded = false;
	}
	t++;
	//when we click/shoot a star we increment the points
	points ++;
	//showing the result in the text field
	points_txt.text = points.toString();
}
function frm10 (e:Event):void {
		removeChild(sight);
		Mouse.show();
		timer.stop();
  	    timer.removeEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, timerHandler);
    	stage.removeChild(star);
    	stage.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, cursorMoveHandler);
		stage.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickHandler);
		points_txt.text = points.toString();
		

	if(starAdded){
		removeChild(star);
		starAdded = false;
		removeChild(sight);
	}
}

public function gameStart() {
//hiding the cursor
Mouse.hide();
timer.start();
}

}
}

```

The code for Frame 1 of the file is:

```auto

var Game:ShootingStarFullClass = new ShootingStarFullClass();

Game.gameStart();

//adding event handler on mouse move
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, cursorMoveHandler);
//adding event handler to the timer
timer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, timerHandler);
//clickTime.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, clicktimerHandler);

stop();

```

Frame 10 also holds some code as follows:

```auto
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, frm10);stop();
	

```

When I play the swf output… it just loops between frame 1 and frame 10 jumping from 1 to 10 and not showing anything except the static objects.

Please can someone provide any help on how to get this code working?  
I edited the file from the actual tutorial because:  
\*I wanted another scene/frame to show the user highscores etc.  
\*the variables weren’t being exported to frame 10, so I had to create the DocumentClass.as … (as suggested to someone by someone on another forum)

## Thanks for any help.
