Now lets continue with our game. In the init function remove the hello world code and add this row:
startGame();
and right afrer the init function we will add startGame:
private function startGame():void {
this.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, gameLoop);
}
And now the game loop:private function gameLoop(event:Event = null):void {
}
It is time to add the player. Lets make new folder called assets and add some images to it. For player spaceship I’ll use this cool image:
and for enemies this one:
You can use my images but please credit me.
Lets start with adding the player. More about embedding images you can learn from this post - FlashDevelop, ActionScript3 and images.
Add this in the class body:
[Embed(source="../assets/s1.png")]
private var playerShipImage:Class;
private var player:MovieClip;
And now alter the startGame function this way:
private function startGame():void {
player = new MovieClip();
var bitmap:Bitmap = new playerShipImage();
bitmap.x = -bitmap.width / 2;
bitmap.y = -bitmap.height / 2;
player.addChild(bitmap);
player.x = 250;
player.y = 430;
addChild(player);
this.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, gameLoop);
}
Compile and run! Here is the result:
And here is the full source code till now:
Main.as
package
{
import flash.display.*;
import flash.events.*;
public class Main extends Sprite
{
[Embed(source="../assets/s1.png")]
private var playerShipImage:Class;
private var player:MovieClip;
public function Main():void
{
if (stage) init();
else addEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE, init);
}
private function init(e:Event = null):void
{
removeEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE, init);
// entry point
startGame();
}
private function startGame():void {
player = new MovieClip();
var bitmap:Bitmap = new playerShipImage();
bitmap.x = -bitmap.width / 2;
bitmap.y = -bitmap.height / 2;
player.addChild(bitmap);
player.x = 250;
player.y = 430;
addChild(player);
this.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, gameLoop);
}
private function gameLoop(event:Event = null):void {
}
}
}
