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 mother 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 . Also feel free to ask me if you have any problems, I'm not sure if I can help, but I will try.

--- Edit ---

commented that it would come in handy to paste my code here, so people can copy paste if they want. And I thought that was a good idea, so here it is:

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);
}

Also, I was wondering, are the colors too bright? Should the green of the text be darker? Please tell me what you think.


--- Edit ---

I made the colors of the text a little bit darker, I hope that it's more readable now
