hi,
im struggling a bit with syntax here – i’m trying to add a method to my multiplayer flash games then when an arrow hits an enemy, it will display the dmg, while scrolling up and dropping off alpha.
I seem to be having some linkage problems this is what i have:
=========================================
var dmgwin:dmgtxt = new dmgtxt() //movieclip that will contain textfield
var dmgwinsub:TextField = new TextField(); //textfield that has dmg #
var tween:Tween = new Tween(dmgwinsub, “alpha”, None.easeOut, 1, 0, 2, true); //an alpha fade tween that i know works
//dmgwinsub.addChild(tween) //(this wont work)
dmgwinsub.text = “30”
dmgwin.addChild(dmgwinsub)
dmgwin.x = 600
dmgwin.y = 300
stage.addChild(dmgwin)
==========================================
if i put that tween directly in the AS class [dmgwin] and put a vector oval graphic in the drawing screen, the oval will fade and the ‘30’ will not. I understand this is because im fading the movieclip and the textfield simply follows the dissipating clip – but the important question is, how do how do I extend the tween onto my textfield, thats in a movieclip, thats on a stage?
also, it should be noted, while i was trynig different things trying to get it to work I saw an error I recognized, it said my textfield was static (and i know that it needs to be made dynamic) however, i dont know how to dynamically make a static textfield dynamic.
