Armor Games

Hey. I'm Kynia and I've been looking for some help with a problem I've come across in a game I'm making. Which you can click on the link here.

Basically, the problem is that when you click on an item and it appears in your inventory. Now when you leave to go to the other side of the room (the next frame) and then come back the (previous frame) items reset themselves. I'm looking for the simplest way to do this. Of course in that clip, I had newbishly was just using go to so and so frame in the movie clip to appear the item was gone.

I made this separate file to test out a code to see if I could get past this problem, so I could apply it to my game.

Though same problem though the coding I was using on a separate layer for the first frame is this.

stop();
pil._visible=false;
pil2.onpress=function(){
pil._visible=true;
pil2._visible=false;
}

Oh, also I'm working with Flash MX 2004 just so you know (Ah, yes kinda old, though least it wasn't a much older version I had.)

You could create a check that checks if pill is in the inventory to not make it visible.

stop();
if (pill in inventory)
pil._visible=false;
pil2.onpress=function(){
pil._visible=true;
pil2._visible=false;
}

It's my first time making a game like this and any step by step tutorial I've read hasn't really explained how to make the item you found stay invisible when going to another frame.

You might want to not put all the code in frames but on a separate layer.

Easiest way

It is on a separate layer. I usually keep them on a layer named 'actions' away from my movie clips.

Yes but are you coding on the key frames on a separate layer, because it's the same problem.

Sorry, then I'm not quite following then, even though I'm on a separate layer it's still not right?

I'm not exaclty an intermediate flash user, unfortunately and looking for an over all simple solution. A lot of tutorials haven't really went into a lot of depth about this out of so many I've read.

So you're programming on the main timeline?

No I think hes coding in the frames.
