Hi I’m new to this forum so please bear with me if I over/under explain the situation.
I’ve been trying to make my own flash game based on the kirupa tutorial: http://www.kirupa.com/developer/actionscript/vertical_shooter.htm
My scripting is very similar to the scripting in the tutorial, but I obviously adapted it to my own design. Now I’m trying to add a time limit, which when the time reaches 0 it jumps to the time up screen. I have spent two whole days searching on google, trying loads of suggestions, trying to figure this out myself. This is what I came up with:
//timer
function timer(timeline) {
seconds = 3;
initial = getTimer()/1000;
timeline.onEnterFrame = function() {
var timeleft = Math.ceil(seconds-(getTimer()/1000-initial));
_root.time.text = timeleft<10 ? “0”+timeleft : timeleft;
if (timeleft<0) {
delete this.onEnterFrame;
gotoAndPlay(3);
answer(0);
}
}
};
timer (_root) ;
This scripting works on a test page (i.e. away from the actual game) but when I try to add it to my game it deletes the main movieclip (in this case a tank) which is used to play the game.
Check out the beta version of the game that I want to add the time limit too: http://www.roguebot.co.uk/roguebotwars.html
