Description
WHEN CREATING YOUR FLASH FILE, ALWAYS CHOOSE ACTIONSCRIPT 2.0 NOT THE SYSTEM DEFAULT WHICH IS 3.0I'm sorry, comments have been disabled D=
I really just don't have the time to answer everyones questions, I get so many everyday, and 90% of them are already answered in the tutorial. Sorry to anyone who needs help, maybe when I have some free time I'll enable comments again.

Okay, well so many people asked me how I made my Create A Wolf- [link]
So I decided to make a tutorial ^^
I SUGGEST YOU START WITH THE GO-TO BUTTON TUTORIAL BEFORE THE CLICK & APPEAR
I’m so sorry about my rambling. I’ve tried to make this tutorial so even beginners at Flash =may= find it useful. But it really would help if you know some of the basics about Flash before you attempt this. Also, I have to stress, I SUCK at explaining things without being there in person.. so since that’s impossible, this is the best you’re gonna get xP
Only for people who have Flash. You can download a free trial on the website though (I think).

actionscript for go-to buttons here for lazy people:
on (release) {
gotoAndPlay(NUMBER);
}

GAWD, THANK YOU SOOOOOOO MUCH FOR MAKING THIS! Seriously, I was completely LOST until I read this. It helped out SO much!
Have you considered making one on how to make "click-n-drag" dressups? That'd be really helpful, and since you were so good at making this one, I think it'd help a LOT! ^^

Yeah thing is there's already so many tutorials on dA for click & drag games, it'd be pointless for me to make one. There wasn't any (that I could find) for click & appear, so it seemed to make sense that I made one. if you're interested in click & drag, search dA for 'dress up tutorial' and I'm sure you'll find one ^^

How do you make the starts go to diff places. I'm trying to make a 2 part flash.

How did you made the "drag and drop" part in your games?How you make that only the chosen part stays on the next frames?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
the drag and drop isn't part of this tutorial, but if you search on dA for 'dress up tutorial' there are plenty of tutorials made by other people you can look at.
and I'm not too sure what you mean by that last part..?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I wanted to say that how you make ony one part stay for all the frames and not all of them.

WHIY IS IT ALWAYS THE ACTIONSCRIPT PART THAT GIVES ME THE TROUBLE!?
Error found? I need help with the actionscript part ...
**Error** Scene=Scene 1, layer=Button, frame=1:Line 1: Mouse events are permitted only for button instances
on (release) {

You probably haven't typed out the code right. Check over it with mine, and download the example flash files- there's a link in the description.

ummm.. What if you want one button to bring out like a bunch of shirts,
not just a button for each shirt.
Is that possible?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
uhh.. I'm a little unsure of what you mean.. but if it's the way I do it.. if I had one button bring out all the shirts it wouldnt work because they'd all be piled on top of eachother. Unless you mean a button to go to a frame to show all the buttons for the shirts, in which case this tutorial explains that, just check the example files ^^

oh I'm sorry I totally messed up,
your tutorial explained it perfectly Sorry I just had a little brain problem for awhile.

do I put the buttons all on one frame? And, I'm really confused on the actionscript part.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
You can put all the buttons on the same layer and/or same frame. Just make sure you give each one the right coding. The actionscript can be applied by right-clicking a button and going to 'actions'

Make sure the frame with the items (colours, tails, clothes, etc..) is stretched as far as the Flash file goes. Eg; mine usually stop at around 35 frames. Also make sure it doesnt create a new keyframe at the end

Cool! but my start button won't drag, it keeps showing that little circle with a slash through it (i don't exactly know what that's called) but, yeah, it won't let me drag it.

Is flash something you have to download from the internet or can i get it at like a best buy store or something? I've been wanting this program from sometime now. Can ya help me out please?
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
I'm not sure what 'best buy' is, but you can buy it at most computer stores and such. It's a fairly common program
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thanks
Best Buy is like a computer store...it's got everything electronic..I don't think i spelt that right..
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
You have to buy the program. i got my version from a CD but im not sure. Maybe you can pay online (Like with a credit card) and then download the software.
