Description ----------------- EDIT -----------------

Thanks for all the fav's and comments, they make me really happy

But I'm sorry to say that I will not be replying to comments about the ActionScript any more, I just don't have the time...

If you have any questions, I suggest searching the internet. There are lot's of good forums out there

----------------- EDIT -----------------

When I made a dress-up game I wanted some specific things, like clothes that could change color and clothing that snapped in the right place. So I looked for a tutorial. I looked all over the Internet but I couldn't fined one. So I decided to just fight whit actionscript head on. After a lot of blood sweat and tears (mostly from me and not from actionscript ) I finished my dress-up game and was very happy.

When some people asked me how I had made this I decided to write a tutorial (just because I am just THAT kind of a nice person and not at all because I could use it to score points at my school) It took me a really long time to finish this tutorial but it's finally done!

This is the first time I've made an tutorial or even tried to explain actionscript and I 'm not an actionscript expert, so if my explanations are unclear or wrong please tell me, so I can improve them. Also English is not my first language so please tell me if I made spelling mistakes so I can change that.

I've used Flash MX 2004, in case you were wondering.

Pleas tell me what you think of this tutorial and if it was of any use. And if you make a dress up game please send me the link .

--- Edit ---

Here is the code I used, so you can copy and paste it

stop();
this.onPress = function() {
startDrag(this);
};
this.onRelease = function() {
stopDrag();
if (_root.eyes, hitTest(_root.Pop)) {
setProperty(this, _x, 445.8);
setProperty(this, _y, 203.7);
} else {
setProperty(this, _x, 543.2);
setProperty(this, _y, 127.9);
}
};

and for the buttons:

on (press) {
_root.skate_pants.gotoAndStop(3);
_root.baggy_pants.gotoAndStop(2);
_root.skirt.gotoAndStop(1);
_root.punk_pants.gotoAndStop(6);
_root.short_pants.gotoAndStop(7);
}

How do I convert all key frames into a symbol? when I try that, they are never linked to eachother!!!

Rose-Layon In reply to princessshiny [2009-02-04 14:14:33 +0000 UTC]

The best way to make a symbol out of more than one frame is to make a new empty symbol and cut and paste the frames from the timeline where you created them and paste them in the timeline of the new symbol.

princessshiny In reply to Rose-Layon [2009-02-11 02:40:24 +0000 UTC]

what do you do once you have two symbols on the same time frame? ie, when i want to move them, they don't move in unison. Does it mean that they are not connected?

The tutorial was very helpful! I had used flash before but only when I felt like messing around with frame by frame animating so this was fun to do!
The only thing I'm having problems with are the color change buttons o_o

Very useful tutorial. If you could make the text darker that would be great, it's a little hard for me to read.

Rose-Layon In reply to LastBlossom [2007-06-30 17:08:44 +0000 UTC]

It's darker now, I hope this helps.

I'm glad that you find this useful.

Sorry I can't help you there, I'm not good at finding programs to download either.

I get them from classmates on my school (we're a bunch of nerds )

I hope you are able to find it soon... good luck!

Thank you; I too have been searching the internet for what seems like hours. Finally, I thought, If I'm going to submit the doll to dA anyway, why not see if they have some tutorials? & there were some very easy, simplistic tutorials. I tried searching "advanced doll flash tutorial" but nothing popped up. Finally I clicked yours by accident & when I saw the words "change colour" & "snap in the right place" I nearly jumped for joy. Thank you so much; I'll definitely be using this & I'll send you the link to the doll~ <33

yewnoir In reply to Rose-Layon [2007-06-01 03:11:29 +0000 UTC]

you're welcome, the only critique I have is that perhaps at on your comment you could type out the commands; that way someone could copy+paste. I'm not sure though, I had to write it out & I'm trying to get used to actionscript so it just depends if you want people to really use the tutorial or just have something at their fingertips <3

Thanks for your comment. At first I was under the impression that you would be able to copy paste it from the swf file, but you cant, so now it's in the comment.
