actionscript

tails2

ok i am alright at actionscript but this is beyond me. it is a simple thing of just using dynamic text and then a counter but it wont work. i dont have a clue why. i use the same code in a blank flash doc and it works. i code it in my game and nothing. just keeps coming up as undefined. heres the code

stop();

Instructions.onRelease = function()
{
gotoandPlay( "Instructions", 1);
}

Play.onRelease = function()
{
gotoandPlay( "Play Level", 1);
}

Quit.onRelease = function()
{
gotoandPlay( "Menu", 1);
}

this.onLoad = gameInit;

this.onEnterFrame = gameLoop;

function gameInit()
{
game = new Object();
game.life = 3;
game.sword = 10;
}

function gameLoop()
{
if(player1.hitTest( easy ) )
{
game.life--;

easy.dropRandom();

}
game.sword--;

Lives.text = game.life;
Swords.text = game.sword;

}

Which part isn't doing what you expected?

stop();

Instructions.onRelease = function()
{
gotoandPlay( "Instructions", 1);
}

Play.onRelease = function()
{
gotoandPlay( "Play Level", 1);
}

Quit.onRelease = function()
{
gotoandPlay( "Menu", 1);
}

this.onLoad = gameInit;

this.onEnterFrame = gameLoop;

function gameInit()
{
game = new Object();
game.life = 3;
game.sword = 10;
}

function gameLoop()
{
if(player1.hitTest( easy ) )
{
game.life--;

easy.dropRandom();

}
game.sword--;

Lives.text = game.life;
Swords.text = game.sword;

}

for some reason it doesnt seem to be reading both

this...game.life = 3;

and this game.sword = 10;

i have set the values as you can see but when i call for them

here... Lives.text = game.life;

and here Swords.text = game.sword;

when i start the game it just shows the values as "undefined".

i dont understand why. if i used the same code in a blank new flash doc it works. but in this it wont. it is stupid.

Ite been years since I used any Actionscript, but isn't there a built-in debugger in Flash? You can click "run" or something and print stuff to an error console. You may or may not have to do this printing manually. Sorry I can't help more - I'm rusty and don't have Flash installed.
