I'm making a two player pong game using flash mx and I followed this tutorial to get to grips with moving objects (the bats) up and down. I got through the tutorial fine but it doesn't make the objects move smoothly. they jerk then pause before moving normally, which would be no good for the game. I found this game on newgrounds which has the pads moving as I'd like them to.
View 4 RepliesI'm making a game in AS3 and I need to move an object from left to right using the keyboard, it works fine but the problem is that when i push left or right the object moves but not in a fluid way, I assigned to movement to KEY_DOWN but first it moves the ammount of distance i gave up then pauses for half a second and then I moves fluid in the direction i gave. Now my question is how do I need to program it so that when I push the button it move fluid in that direction immediately instead of taking a little pause?

I posted this question before , but never got an answer that I understood or could get to work - so now that I have something to show I thought I would post it with the question again.
Have a look at this :[URL].. Now, once the screen says "GO!" I want player 1 to be able to move that blue horse across the screen to the finish line (where it will have a hitTest to decide the winner).
I want this code to move my map i.e map_mc when the keyboard keys are pressed. When I add it to the map_mc, I see no effect what do u think I am messing with.
Code:
on (keyPress "<Left>") {
currentX = this._x;
this._x = currentX - 2;
} on (keyPress "<Right>") {
currentX = this._x;
this._x = currentX + 2;
} on (keyPress "<Up>") {
currentY = this._y;
this._y = currentY - 2;
} on (keyPress "<Down>") {
currentY = this._y;
this._y = currentY + 2; }
Here's my situation, I'm making a stick fighting game, where this stick figure fights others. I have the basic moves done inside a mc. I just tried to use Kirupa's tutorial on how to animate that bug with the keyboard arrow keys, but it didn't work. It moved the whole screen. All I want to do, is when you press the left or right arrow keys, the movements (the mc's name) move to the left/right. I attached the .fla. The basic controls are the left arrow animates it left, the right animates it right, and the enter key makes him punch.
View 1 RepliesI am trying to do a apply a tween for the width property on a MovieClip Object but every time it changes the width and the position too, and I don't want that. I want to change the width going to one side without changing the x and y of the object.
I tried both of thes and they gave the same result.
var c:Tween = new Tween(left, "scaleX", Strong.easeOut, 1, 1.5,20,true);
var c:Tween = new Tween(left, "width", Strong.easeOut, 20, 200,20,true);
I think it is applying the transformation according to a center of the movie clip. but I don't know how it can be changed.
Im working on a small project and it involves a guy which you move with the arrow keys. The arrow keys add to his x, y velocities and his position is updated accordingly. How can i get this man to grab onto an object and spin around it (like when you grab pole and letting your momentum swing you around) . I can make him grab the object but I dont know how to modify his x,y speeds to simulate the arc.

View 1 RepliesI try to create a MovieClip that i can move with the arrow keys. That worked with:
ActionScript Code:
var keyListener = {};
keyListener.onKeyDown = function()
{

Now I tried to limit the area where I can move this MovieClip "cursor_mc". I found a lot of solutions but those where always solutions where the limitation zone was a rectangular. I was looking for a solution where I can create a "cursorlimit_mc" MovieClip and as long as the "cursor_mc" clip is inside of this clip I can move it with my keys. If it isnt possible to limit that, maybe I can create more than just 4 points and draw the limitation szone?

I have two scenes in flash - when you go to scene 2 there is a eventListener attached to the stage to move a movieclip. When I test the movie the only way the keyboard listener seems to work is if I click on the stage first, then the object will move. Is there a solution to this. The code I am using is:

I need some AS2 actionscript that I can place on a button to move it to the front on rollover. and move it to the back on rollout.I have two identical buttons on a layer in my timeline. When you roll over a button a larger text box appears ontop of it. The text box is the rollover state on the button, which is a button symbol. This works great in itself, but the problem is that the buttons are place close together and when one button gets rolled over and the text box encroaches on the other button's space. I always want the text box and button you are rolling over to appear in front of the other buttons that are on that layer. But that's not possible, since one button will be in front and one will be behind. Is there some AS2 actionscript that I can place on each of the buttons to move the button you roll over to the front?

I wrote it originally in as2 and I tried to translate it to as3 and it stopped working. It's suppose to move the player towards another player. this is just the part of the script that doesn't work
I'm new to Flash and just started working on an animated short. In one of the sequences, I realized too late that an object was too far left in the frame and needed to be moved back. Is there a way to do that in all of the keyframes at once rather than doing it one at a time? The thing that needs to be moved is a .png file, not a symbol.
View 1 Repliesi'm trying to use actionscript so i can make an object move up and down the Y axis by inputing numbers into a textbox. However at the moment my object starts in the centre and then when i enter a number it only goes down, and im not too sure how i can use negative numbers to make it travel up the y axis. I was thinking of using the numbers -10 - 10 so -10 would go down and 10 go up. Here is my code

i'm trying to use code so if i type in -10 to 10 the object will move up or down the y axis. The code i'm using at the moment calculates how far to move it from the number inputed, then it removes te object and places it in the required position. However doing the removeChild technique messes up when having many on the stage. I was wondering if anyone knew a way of calculating the rating and then using it to move the object on the stage without removing it and adding it. Here is the code i'm using to move it. OR a way in which i can remove certain objects on the stage using remove child

View 2 Repliesim having trouble getting this rotation function down pat. i have a turret that should be rotating towards another moving object. it should find the shortest direction to rotate. basically what ive done is converted action script rotation from using -1 -> -179 to 180 -> 359. but now im having issues when the object it is tracking passes over the zero degree point. the turrent then rotates around the other way. here is the code. my mind is getting a little boggled. it is being passed the x difference between the objects, and the y difference

i have a character_mc that moves on mouse click, a logtxt dyanamic text box and a mc named $box. The camera follows the character and when the log and $ boxes are staying put.
