Puzzle game in adobe animate

Question

Hello! i am making a puzzle game for school that is due today. I need to make a three level puzzle game. Each level has 12 objects, 6 objects being the puzzles themselfs and the other 6 drop zones. The code that is below only works for one level. I changed the item names and put the code into the second frame. The game doesnt let the player click on the puzzles and im not sure where the problem lays.

import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import flash.events.Event;
stop();
var count:Number=0;
stage.addEventListener (Event.ENTER_FRAME,PuzzleLoop);
function PuzzleLoop(e:Event):void
{

if (count >=6)
{
stage.removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, PuzzleLoop);
item1_mc.visible= false;
item2_mc.visible= false;
item3_mc.visible= false;
item4_mc.visible= false;
item5_mc.visible= false;
item5_mc.visible= false;
gotoAndStop(2);
}

}

Hi.

I think some encapsulation and other object oriented programming approaches may help a little bit. For example, using containers in different frames and also custom properties on the items instead of variables.

Here is a suggestion in which I tried to make your code more dynamic and less DRY but not too much complex.

AS3 code:
[Frame 1]

import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.events.Event;

var matches:uint;
var totalMatches:uint;

function game1():void
{
	matches = 0;
	totalMatches = 0;
	
	setPiece(board1.item1_mc, board1.dropZone1_mc);
	setPiece(board1.item2_mc, board1.dropZone2_mc);
	setPiece(board1.item3_mc, board1.dropZone3_mc);
	setPiece(board1.item4_mc, board1.dropZone4_mc);
	setPiece(board1.item5_mc, board1.dropZone5_mc);
	setPiece(board1.item6_mc, board1.dropZone6_mc);
	
	stop();
}

function setPiece(target:MovieClip, dropZone:MovieClip):void
{
	target.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, dragHandler);
	target.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, releaseHandler);
	target.buttonMode = true;
	target.dropZone = dropZone;
	target.originX = target.x;
	target.originY = target.y;
	totalMatches++;
}

function dragHandler(event:MouseEvent):void
{
	var item:MovieClip = MovieClip(event.target);
	
	item.startDrag();
	item.parent.addChild(item);
}

function releaseHandler(event:MouseEvent):void
{
	var item:MovieClip = MovieClip(event.target);
	
	item.stopDrag();
	
	if (item.hitTestPoint(item.dropZone.x, item.dropZone.y))
	{
		item.x = item.dropZone.x;
		item.y = item.dropZone.y;
		item.buttonMode = false;
		item.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, dragHandler);
		item.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, releaseHandler);
		matches++;
		
		if (currentFrame < totalFrames && matches == totalMatches)
			nextFrame();
	}
	else
	{
		item.x = item.originX;
		item.y = item.originY;
	}
}

game1();

[Frame 2]

function game2():void
{
	matches = 0;
	totalMatches = 0;
	
	setPiece(board2.item1_mc, board2.dropZone1_mc);
	setPiece(board2.item2_mc, board2.dropZone2_mc);
	setPiece(board2.item3_mc, board2.dropZone3_mc);
	setPiece(board2.item4_mc, board2.dropZone4_mc);
	setPiece(board2.item5_mc, board2.dropZone5_mc);
	setPiece(board2.item6_mc, board2.dropZone6_mc);	
}

game2();

[Frame 3]

function game3():void
{
	matches = 0;
	totalMatches = 0;
	
	setPiece(board3.item1_mc, board3.dropZone1_mc);
	setPiece(board3.item2_mc, board3.dropZone2_mc);
	setPiece(board3.item3_mc, board3.dropZone3_mc);
	setPiece(board3.item4_mc, board3.dropZone4_mc);
	setPiece(board3.item5_mc, board3.dropZone5_mc);
	setPiece(board3.item6_mc, board3.dropZone6_mc);
}

game3();
