Hi everyone...

Im trying to do the following and your help would be greatly appreciated...

1- see where it says More Numbers in the plate number area, it shifts to the next set of plates when you click it, and if you click a plate then the number would change on the red car...

As for your first situation...it's pretty simple really.

Break it up into two parts.
1) The horizontal tween when you click "More Numbers"
For this effect take a look into the Tween class or some other tweening engine (MCTween, Zigo, Fuse etc...).

Using Flash 8's own Tween class you would need something like this:


new Tween(NumbersMC, "_x", Regular.easeOut, NumbersMC._x, NumbersMC._x + NUmbersMC._width, 1, true);
*Make sure to import the tween class


(2) Changing the number on the car.
Create a dynamic text field on the license plate of the car. Set the instance name to plateText.

Then, in the onRelease function of each plate, add the following:


plateText.text = "###"

What do you mean by universal timing? Do you mean having the timing server side, instead of based on the viewer's system clock.

if so, have a look at this:

With a small php script you can turn this into a timer based on a server side clock.
