Flash MX 2004 Games : Art to ActionScript

A simple example
Figure 17.1 Developing ‘Examples/Chapter17/FatCat01.fla’
Chapter 17: Platformers
The code for this example is mainly located in three places. An initialization script on frame 1
of the main timeline contains the following code:
1 //Set initial parameters
2 DEBUG_GAME = true;
3 Cat.orgX = Cat._x;
4 Cat.orgy = Cat._y;
5 Cat.tracemotion = false;
6 stop();
Listing 17.1
Notice that here we are just setting some initial values and some debug parameters. As you will
know from the chapter on debugging, getting feedback information as your game plays is vital to
creating a stable game. By setting a simple Boolean value to true or false we can quickly set the
debugging level of a game.
