I was just wondering how you could acheive a scrolling screen for a real-time stratgegy game that i have been working on lately. I would also want to know how to have characters create objects if certain variables are true… (objects on the map… structures)

starcraftesque… although i dont want blizzard knocking on my door so its going to need to be a whole new concept… I need to be able to build things, manage stockpiles of goods, and have things kill eachother… Unfortunately im using flash MX and i dont own photoshop, so graphics are going to be difficult…

any help with a graphical interface is always appreciated… If anyone wants to either commit themselves and join the project or just add a little bit of advice, it is always welcome as i am new to flash and this is my first game (working on the engine)…

Well sorry I don’t know about the preloader but i have a question for you. Could I “join the team?” I’m a new actionscripter and I need a teacher. If you decline than please atleast show me the script when you’re done. If anybody would like to share script that might help me out. I understand if you dont want to though. It _is_ your work.

Sure, although i am new at actionscript myself… I will be making a project website soon, you could learn a lot of actionscript from the forum tutorials in the meanwhile… I might be able to give you the site .FLA’s after it is complete, if you wanted to examine the code… You are also welcome to help with the engine and graphics.
