    Step 5: Finishing Touches<\/h3>\n

    This part of tutorial is where we add some bug fixes and special effects. Let’s get started.<\/p>\n

    The next bug we need to fix occurs after the mcFinalStats<\/tt> is shown on the screen. Whenever you click anywhere, mcMain<\/tt> can still jump. We can fix this no problem. Add an && !gameOver<\/tt> to the if statement in the mcBg<\/tt>‘s click function. That’s all we need.<\/p>\n

    Now, we can add some special effects. The first one, of course, is going to be a background. First, move where we created the bellHolder<\/tt> to the top of the code. Next, add this code right below it:<\/p>\n

    \r\nvar bgHolder:MovieClip = new MovieClip();\/\/create a MovieClip to hold all bg shapes\r\nbellHolder.addChild(bgHolder);\/\/add it to the bellHolder to move with everything\r\n<\/pre>\n
    Then, add this code to the eFrame()<\/tt> function.<\/p>\n
    \r\n\/\/creating a new shape\r\nvar mcBg:Shape = new Shape(); \r\n\/\/making random dimensions (only ranges from 1-3 px)\r\nvar dimensions:int = int(Math.random()*3)+1;\r\n\/add color to the shape\r\nmcBg.graphics.beginFill(0x333333\/*The color for shape*\/,1\/*The alpha for the shape*\/);\r\n\/\/turning the shape into a square\r\nmcBg.graphics.drawRect(dimensions,dimensions,dimensions,dimensions);\r\n\/\/change the coordinates of the particle\r\nmcBg.x = int(Math.random()*stage.stageWidth);\r\nmcBg.y = bellTop-bgHolder.y;\r\n\/\/adding the particle to bgHolder\r\nbgHolder.addChild(mcBg);\r\n\r\nbgHolder.y += 2;\/\/make bg move downward\r\n<\/pre>\n
    Now, we notice that the background is actually in front of the main character. Do not fret, simply add this code to the bottom of everything:<\/p>\n
    \r\nMovieClip(root).setChildIndex(mcMain,MovieClip(root).numChildren-1);\r\n<\/pre>\n
    Well, I guess that pretty much finished up everything. I hoped you learned much from my tutorial!<\/p>\n
