ActionScript 2.0 :: Getting Symbol To Move By Pressing Keys?

Jun 27, 2010

I'm completly lost, I'm rather new to flash, and I'm trying to get a symbol to move when I press a key. The following is what my code looks like:

onClipEvent (load) {
speed = 5;
} onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (key.isdown(37)) {
_x -= speed;
} if (key.isdown(39)) {
_x += speed;
} if (key.isdown(40)) {
_y += speed;
} if (key.isdown(38)) {
_y -= speed;
}}

Changing The Value Of A Variable By Pressing Keys?

Jun 18, 2010

There is probably a better way to do what I'm trying to do, but I simply want to make a variable change its value when I press the arrows keys. For example if I wanted to cycle through weapons, if weapon=0 then the character is holding a certain weapon, then I press the down arrow key and weapon=1 and if weapon=1 the character is holding another weapon. And if I press up weapon=0 again so he's holding the first weapon again. And say there's 8 weapons, if weapon>8 then weapon=0 again so its a cycle. I tried arrow key functions and all they worked for was making a symbol move. I think I knew how to do this stuff in gamemker pretty well but Flash is very different.

Flash :: PC Control - User Mouse Clicks Or Eventually Keyboard - Pressing Some Keys

Nov 23, 2009

I'm completely new to AS3/Flash programming, though I program in C/C++/C# in my job. These days I got a project idea which I think Flash would better fit than the other languages I mentioned above. I want to create an on-line automation application that can:

1. Control user mouse clicks, or eventually keyboard, pressing some keys;

2. Communicate/connect to the user's bluetooth device, establishing connections to the mobile devices attached to it - the web application in this case would act as a server.

ActionScript 2.0 :: File Which Makes A Ball Move To Left / When Pressing Right Arrow Key

Feb 4, 2009

I've attached a file which makes a ball move to the left when pressing the right arrow key.[code]On a Key.RIGHT it goes through a for loop. Shifting the ball 200 times 1 pixel to the left. Every iteration it tests for a hit with coordinates 100/50 (indicated by the red crosshairs). If there's no hit it moves 1 pixel to the left. If there is a hit it stops moving (no ball._x--).Funny thing is: while it eventually finds a hit, it does a final For Loop. Even though it should find a hit during that last loop when the ball is passing the crosshairs, it doesn't and moves the ball a final time 200 times 1 pixel to the left. Ending up with below image.URL...Why doesn't it find a 'hit' for that final For Loop while it's clearly passing it?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Using Keys To Move MC?

Oct 8, 2009

I'm learning Flash and Actionscript and playing around with some different features. I have an MC of a car and have coded them arrow keys to move it left and right and the up and down keys to adjust the speed. It also flips the MC horizontally based on which direction is pressed. There is a startover button that goes to the beginning of the timeline, and a back and next button.

Everything works except I have to click on the stage to get it to recognize the key presses. Once I click the stage it works fine. If I go forward and come back it won't work until I click the stage again. I THINK it was working correctly last night, but I was playing around with some of the images and code this morning and realized it wasn't working right anymore...or maybe I just didn't realize I was clicking the stage last night.

Here's my script:

Code:
stop();
btnStartOver.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, StartOver97);
function StartOver97(event:MouseEvent):void {

ActionScript 2.0 :: Move An Object Around With The Arrow Keys

Jun 24, 2010

so first off, this is AS 2.0. Second, i have a little character from a tutorial on how to move an object around with the arrow keys. The character faces on way on "up" another on "down" and so forth. There are 4 frames for it facing up, down, left, and right so that on the key presses it faces the proper direction and moves accordingly. I also want this little guy to move behind objects. When this happens, i want the object that the little guy is behind to be partially transparent so that you can still see him and he doesnt just vanish.

Professional :: Can't Move An Object With Arrow Keys - CS3?

Oct 18, 2011

In Fash CS3, suddenly, in certain files, I can't move an object left using arrow keys - but I can move the same object right, or if I hold down Shift + left arrow, it works correctly Also - I can move the object down with arrow keys, but not up Workaround - move an object on a different layer, then return to the problem object and it moves correctly. But this doesn't last long, the problem resurfaces.(I've tried rebooting; tried copying all the layers into a new file.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Mouse Orientated Movement - Move Left And Right With The Arrow Keys?

Jan 27, 2011

i'm attempting to make a platform game, i know how to move left and right with the arrow keys, but that's quite boring. i want to move my character based only on the x movement of my mouse. the more i move my mouse in a certain direction, the faster the character moves in that direction. i've been trying to modify the x-speed on my character based on a x value of the mouse, but nothing is working.

preferably, i want a code that keeps my cursor at the center of the screen, while still being able to detect x movements of the mouse. i'd copy paste code from my program, but i'm fairly confident that doing so will serve no purpose. i need a new direction. i have no idea how to do this.
