Ok, problem. The text box is not displaying any text. What do I do? I set it to dynamic, and it is supposed to display the variable.

Did you do

_root.var (replace with your variable)

Yes I did. Life in this case, as per the example. Btw archmage, how do you do shape tweens with the timeline thing and play them?

I think repeat until is equivilant to:
do {_x-=1;
} while (_root.var=1);

which changes the x by -1 until var doesn't equal 1

Use a for loop

for (i=0;i<10;i++){
//do whatever
}

Scratch loops unlike flash loops have a built in wait before each loop. This is a bit of a pain sometimes.

Your code is wrong.

it should be

do{_x-=1;
}while (_root.var==1)

= is for setting variable values and == is for checking to see if 2 variables are of equal value.

Here is a small list of diffrent ones

== //equal
!= //not equal
>= greater than or equal
<= //less than or equal

and for the <<  <and>  >>   <<  <or>  >>   <<  <not>  >>

use this   

|| //or
&& // and
! // not

like this

if (_root.one!=1 && _root.two!=2){
//do stuff
}

Lol, I was hoping to get a local copy of bubble tanks 2. Oh well. I know they don't want beginner projects, but I made the account to ask people questions, and eventually post once I get my projects in Flash up to par, or close to it.  And, I wanted to have my claim on my username 

have u noticed ur character autimatically scrolls, off screen, if u push him off

Basic hittests check for collisions of bounding boxes while shapeflag hitTests check for collisions at a specific coordinate. Also check out the links I posted at the bottom of the first post in this thread. They have info that can answer most of your questions.

Newareagle, it wouldn't be too difficult for someone who knows the basics of flash.

I went ahead and remade your project with the first level into flash. It took me about 2 hours but most of the programming that flash will need is done.

Here is the fla

This would take me no more than a day to complete since you already have all the levels already made. If you want I can work with you to make a complete flash version of it, then get it sponsored for cash and submit it to newgrounds.

If you want to do this yourself you should go to this link and learn everything in the basic section.

Also, the guys at NG are very good with flash so you can ask for help if the flash forums if you need it.

That won't work.

You forgot the brackets.
