ActionScript 2.0 :: How To Control Simple Box Movie Via Arrow Keys
Mar 14, 2002
I'm trying to control (via the arrow keys) a simple box "movie" on the main stage using this code:
onClipEvent (keyDown) {
if (Key.getCode( ) == Key.LEFT) {
this._x = this._x - 3;
} else if (Key.getCode( ) == Key.RIGHT {
this._x = this._x + 3;
} else if (Key.getCode( ) == Key.UP) {
this._y = this._y - 3;
} else if (Key.getCode( ) == Key.DOWN) {
this._y = this._y + 3;
}}
I keep getting this in the Output window when I test the movie.
Scene=Scene 1, Layer=box, Frame=1: Line 8: ')' expected

I followed the tutorial and built a carousel and it works great. I linked up some xml and I've got pretty much just what I want. I understand the math _ sort of _ I never paid much attention in math class so the whole 3d thing is a train wreck for me.
What I really want to do is setup arrow keys to control which item is in front. I've tried hit tests to check the next/prev item and then stop there.. but the timing is sort of per project - meaning I need to set the rate or amount of items each time I want to change anything. I even tried setting intervals to set the speed to 0 after # milliseconds. Nothing works quite right.

I'm trying to move a movie clip using the arrow keys. It's a very simple test animation. Basically I have a stick character with simple walking animation. It has 3 movement. 1 is a forward walk, 2 is a duck and 3 is a backwards walk. Now I can move the character but I cant keep the animation going. Is there something I'm missing??

I am trying to setup a movie where the user can move objects with the arrow keys. I have several objects that can be moved. My problem is that they all move at the same time. How can I fix it so you can click on an object and only that one object moves?

I have a movie clip of a character who is supposed to walk when the arrow keys are held down. The character does move in response to the keys being held down, but the walk cycle in the movie clip only plays once. (Flash file is attached.)
I used a Trace in the code to see what the issue is, and one thing that I noticed is that the function seems to run over and over. I'm wondering if that has something to do with it?

How do I get the AWSD keys to work as smoothly as the arrow keys. I can put the arrow keys inside an enterFrame
[AS]onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
//move the tank
if (Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)) {
[Code]....
If I put the AWD keys inside an enterFrame they run until I push another button

The objective is to get the fox - by using the arrow keys - to move around on the stage and when he touches a duck the duck should disappear of the stage. The duck has a motion tween on it, to make it fly.Also if the fox touches one of the traps he should make a sound - using the redfox.wav sound in the library and disappear off the stage.I have this code on the actionscript timeline //Program to generate a set number of traps
//Declaring Variables var numOfTraps:Number; var movieWidth:Number; var movieHeight:Number; var counter:Number; //setting variables values for traps numOfTraps = 6 movieWidth = Stage.width; movieHeight = Stage.height; //Program to generate a set number of traps //Declaring Variables for (counter = 7; counter <= 13; counter++){ //Place 6 traps on the stage [code]....

I have a file set up with a movie clip moving from side to side by itself and when it reaches the end of the stage it goes back in the opposite direction.[code]I know want to control the movie clips movement with arrow keys, just left and right so that it would stop when it reaches the edge and will only let me move it the opposite direction.I guess I'm just trying to set up a sort of template.

For some reason, the down and right keys aren't working. They work fine in other programs but in this program they fail.
paddle_ybase = paddle._yscale;paddleSpeed = 0;
onEnterFrame = function(){
if(Key.isDown(Key.UP)){paddleA._y -= 1;}if(Key.isDown(Key.DOWN)){paddeA._y += 1;}
if(Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)){paddleA._x -= 1;}if(Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)){paddeA._x += 1;}
steam(7);paddle._rotation = paddleSpeed;
} function steam(num){for(i=0;i<num;i++) {

how do you move an object around with the arrow keys.
But there's a catch.
I need my object to flip horizontal when pressing right when it is facing left ( and vice versa). And I need it to flip vertical when it is facing facing upwards and the down arrow is pressed (and vice versa).

I am trying to create a four button system that is controlled using either your mouse or arrow keys.I need to create a Key Listener to allow the highlighting and selecting of each button . The arrow keys allow you to select button when you reach the last button it returns to the first button, and the enter key allows you to select the button.

Is there a way to make it so that when you press the right key your animation/game goes forward a frame and when you press the left key it goes back a frame? I have a pretty minimal knowledge of actionscript so I'm not exactly sure how it would be done.

I'm making a Flash presentation for a client which I will eventually publish as a Projector movie...All the animated slides are in individual scenes, but the individual scenes have several stop points.My client wants to be able to use the left and right arrow keys to skip backwards and forwards to these stop points. They also want to be able to press the spacebar at any point to stop and play the movie manually.

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.

Everything worked perfectly fine in CS5, then I converted it to CS4 and it won't move my guy around, or even trace anything, when I press the WASD keys. The arrow keys still work fine.

im currently trying to extend my flash video player with the option to pause the video and then use the left and right arrow keys to navigate forward and backwards frame by frame. I already figured out that I can only seek to keyframes and not every frame and that seeking always gets you to the closest keyframe automatically.
I couldnt find a method anywhere to seek to the next keyframe automatically and if I try to seek in small intervals I sometimes end up on the next frame like I intended but most of the time I get thrown back to the keyframe I started because it�s the closer one.

I wouldn't think this to be a very difficuly question to find a solution to. My question is; I have a movieclip with instance name "player" and I am trying to layout it's basic movement properties. I already have made it so that the mc will move up, down, left, and right. Cake. What I am having trouble with is getting the mc to rotate in the designated direction (right = 0 degrees, up = 90 degrees, etc).
I have tried using the xscale 100/-100 strategy, but that doen't do anything for up and down movements.
My code so far is as follows:
Actionscript Code:
playerDirection = 0;setInterval(function () {if (Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)) {setDirection(0);_root.player._x += 3;}if (Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)) {setDirection(1);_root.player._x -= 3;}if (Key.isDown(Key.DOWN)) {_root.player._y
