Since it is a photoshop forum there might be some multimedia students about....

Making something for my little bro and of course for college. A jigsaw thing for the computer. Was wondering if you of you knew how to add a value to something well ill explain what im trying to do

Theres 22 peices on the jigsaw when the screen loads up but i have only 5 visible the rest are hidden. I want to after he puts the first 5 peices in a sound will play and another 5 will become visible. Is there a script for that ?

Hey fellow MMHND'er.

Probably have this done by now but in case you haven't it'd probably look something like this:

Set up each set of jigsaw pieces on a different row of frames. Tag each one with a marker, eg. "jigsaw_01", "jigsaw_02" etc. That way you can skip to each one using a simple [ go to "jigsaw_xx" ] command. Make an image on each marker with the pieces already in place. So for jigsaw_01.png there'd be no pieces, jigsaw_02.png would have the first five, jigsaw_03.png the first ten etc etc.

if sprite(x).locV=(xx) then
  if sprite(x).locH=(xx) then
      sprite(x).moveableSprite = FALSE
          puppetsound "sound" then
            go to "nextjigsaw"
  end if
end if

The hard part is telling the movie when to go to the next jigsaw, because if you put that "go to nextjigsaw" on every piece of the jigsaw, it'll go as soon as you place one piece down. Simplest way around that would be to put it on one piece and make sure that piece is at the very bottom of the stack so you can't get to it until the rest have been moved into place. Hard way would be um.. a lot f*cking harder.

I can upload my jigsaw from last year if you wanna look at its code, drop me a PM.
