few questions...

You need to look at the plugin guide at vexiang for the altering of stats. It tells you all you need to know in that respect.

1. Download this: http://www.webfossan.com/flashtrek/downloads/flashtrek_sourcecode.zip

i'll answer the rest in like 15 minutes, i gotta wash dishes before mom gets home (yipes!)

2. script for controls (i'm assuming player controls, turn, warp etc) all in the player symbol. open it up, click on the shiptypes symbol on the stage, open your actionscript panel and voila!

3. plugins, let's see if i get this right (i'm doing this by memory, so it may not be 100% right)

Name
Description
mass
antimatter use
cargo
hull
shields
speed
turn
weapon 1
weapon 2
weapon 3

That looks about right, but I'm not sure about which order shield and hull is.

oh, i forgot this

4. dynamic text field believ it or not. in the game scene, on frame 1 of the actions layer, it somewhere says load plugin variables or something like that. it's been a while since i used the plugin code in that way, but that's how it reads it.

Youre not asking how to get the plugin files to work are you?

well what controls are you looking for? there's a hell of a lot of them in the game!

well, the plugin variables are all over the game. for instance, the planet one is in the game scene, and the stations one is in the preloader screen.
