I'm trying to get the characters in this Flash game to move diagonally - it works, but the following occurs: The character is walking twice as fast as it does when going left, right, up, downThe walking animation doesn't play PHP Code:

Im using Actionscript 3.0 and Adobe flash professional CS5 Im trying to animate a characters movement in a game im designing..Theres 8 differnt instances im going to use for the movement, I decided this upon studying NES zelda and finding his character only has 8 differnt instances for his general movement. See I want the graphics to be pixelated, just like the old games~ I like pixel games.
for example:Whenever I press the LEFT ARROW key I want two instances to switch back and forth between eachother to animate movement, and so I want it to keep doing that until movement is stopped~ as goes the same with the UP, DOWN, and RIGHT arrow keys.
[URL] tutorial here was something I ran across while trying to learn how to move an MC using the keyboard. However, I'm looking to do a motion that is a bit more complicated than that - and I'm somewhat stumped. (Yup, Im new to actionscripting) I'd like to be able to move the MC 100 pixels (and that part I've figured out), but I need the motion to be smooth - with inertia. I searched and searched, and this is a link I found that looked useful in demonstrating the effect:[URL] Click the 4th example - 'Inertia, Single plane of movement'
Now, instead of having the _xmouse determine the position, I want to hit the 'forward/backward' keys on the keyboard, and make it hop smoothly forward or backward a 100 pixels. Im just confused where to add what, and I am continuing to work on it. This is being programmed in Flash MX 2004.
Everything going well so far except for camera control. I want the character to always be in the center of the screen. only when the side boundaries are reached, the character should leave the center of the screen to be able to reach the sides of the screen.Somewhat like this: http:[url]....I've tried 2 ways but both without succes:
- move the character using the keyboard, but somehow keep it in the center of the screen (have no idea on this one)
- move the entire area except the character to simulate movement.
This seems kind of ineffeciant but it worked out better that the previous attempt, the only problem is that the character doesn't return to the center of the screen when he leaves the boundary.The .fla's are available for download here http:[url]....
the actionscript is all in the first frame.try not to be too hard on the crappy visuals Ignore the comments too, theyre only there to help me understand what I did.The boundaries seem to be a bit sketchy aswell when moving to the sides, but that's not a big problem right now.
I have an input text TextField in my movieclip instance but the text field just won't accept all my characters. I can enter for example character 'e', but pressing for example key 'p' won't work. Movie clip and it's TextField child is created in flash editor but I am creating an instance of this MC in my AS3 document class.If I set keyboard event handler, it catches all the keyboard events, but the are just not shown in InputText field? I am using default Arial and Helvetica fonts.

View 8 RepliesI am creating a flash game and I've hit a problem I have four objects, lets call them img1 through img4 I need them to move around a maze, witch is made up of blocks (maze.wall.block1 to block53) I have seen tutorials on creating a path however these all involve the object to be added to the stage, where as I am doing it in a as3 class. So my question is either: How can I create a path manualy on the stage, then create an object to follow the path in the as3 class, OR how can I add very simple ai to the img object to move around but change direction when the hitTestObject triggers on the maze.wall.blocks?
View 1 RepliesI'm doing the shooting game. In that character should move left and right by using the arrow keys. The background is movieClip with image. The character is walking very slow sometimes. And the zombies will come automatically. Why the movement is very slow sometimes?
View 4 RepliesI am a beginner to flash gaming. I am making a platform game, but can not reverse my character when he goes backwards. This is my code for left and right: if (Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)) {_x += speed;} if (Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)) {_x -= speed;} How Can I reverse it so when it goes LEFT, the character turns all the way around?
View 4 RepliesI have a flash app that I would like to listen for a string of characters being typed on a keyboard. If a user typed in apple as an example that would either be correct or incorrect, and if they typed it in uppercase or lowercase or upper and lower it would still equate to true. Here is the tricky part, the string is not being typed into a textfield or anything like that, it must just be typed and after flash sees the correct keys pressed in the correct sequence it will fire a function.
I have seen this done before in a situation where a website had a background administration application, and when browsing the site you could just type admin, and a window would pop up asking for a username and password, so that is almost exactly what I want. Because of this I figured I would try to replicate the admin application first as it should be simpler
This is what I have thus far
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, keysPressed);
var keyCatcher:Array=new Array(); var keyCatchNew:String;
function keysPressed(e:KeyboardEvent):void{
if(e.charCode==65 || e.charCode==68 || e.charCode==77 || e.charCode==73 || e.charCode==78 || e.charCode==97 || e.charCode==100 || e.charCode==109 || e.charCode==105 || e.charCode==110){
keyCatcher.push(String.fromCharCode(e.charCode));

I'm starting work on a midi piano game in flash. I have my midi keyboard hooked in through the USB. Now I've been told that there is some way to get flash to read any kind of input but I am not sure on how. Basically all that will happen is that u hit a key on the piano and a box shows up of random color. Longer u hold a key bigger it gets. Each key will have different box assigned to it. I think I could handle everything but I'm stuck on the first step and that is getting flash to read the Piano key presses.
View 5 Replieson the stage, ther's a box. you can move the box with the left and up key.i have 3 problems:
1. the movement isnt smooth, can i make the movement smooth without modyfing the speed?
2. i want that when you press the left and up key simulteanously the box will move diagonaly.
3.when you press and hold a key, the box just moves a little and after 1 second (or something like this) the box starts to move continously. can I make the box to move continously immediatly after you are pressing a key.
I am working on a game right now and have a problem: I want to move the "character" with the left and right keyboard buttons Here is the AS I found on the tutorial:
[AS]on (keyPress "<Left>") {
currentX = this._x;
this._x = currentX - 2;
_root.man._rotation = ;
[Code] .....
The problem is i dont wanna rotate the pic. I just wanna flip it horizontaly whenever i press the left or right button. Is there a way to do that?
I am working on a game project and i have a question about movie clip movement using keyboard event. Basically I have a character on screen and it can move on the x axis using the left and right buttons. I am making my character move by changing the x value of the character movieclip but I find very it laggy and not smooth and if I am going point by point then it's too slow. Whats the best way to make the character move so that the transition will be smooth.

Im having a problem getting responsive keyboard movement. I have a key_up listener which fails to trigger when 3 keys are down. E.g. Imagine up and right keys are being pressed to move up + right. The user wants to change to moving up + left. The user presses the left key before lifting thg right key. I have a key_up listener to detect when a key is no longer being pressed. However in this scenario it fails to trigger when 3 keys are pressed. Even in this online example, there is the same problem, look how unresponsive it is when chaging from up right to up left really quickly. [URL]

View 6 RepliesI've a question to ask regarding randomization using actionscript. Given a situation where you have different designed game characters and you would like to display different characters as the player replay/restart the game. How would you go about doing so?
View 5 Repliesi want to make a small game, ive already got the characters and scene and everything and my move-engine, but i do not know how to make this:
i want to have some blocks or rocks or trees or walls in my scene, and my characters shouldnt be able to run through them or stand on them...
how to display random game characters as an individual using the code below:
var bearOne = new bearMC();var bearTwo = new bearMC_2();var bearThree = new bearMC_3();var characters:Array = new Array(bearOne,bearTwo,bearThree);
var mcChar:MovieClip=characters[int(Math.random()*3)];
addChild(mcChar);
Currently, I'm looking deeper.. Let's say if I'm displaying the characters in different parts say Head, Body and Arms, etc.. How do I make sure when I randomize the characters, the correct part of each character is displayed correctly? Instead of characterOne's head appear with characterTwo's Body and characterThree's Arms for example.
I have a character in a game that moves in accordance with keyboard commands.. I'd like to have it so that when the character moves on the stage his legs simulate walking. Meaning.. when moving right, his legs rotate counter clockwise. But since there are two moving at the same time, one moves forward to a point while the other moves back to a point (the legs don't circle over his head), I need a conditional statement that indicates that when his leg's rotation is greater than 149, it reverses direction until its at a certain point, then moves back.. The below code is for one leg.
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, onLoop);
function onLoop(evt:Event): void{
if (Bear.Leg.rotation >=149){
Bear.Leg.rotation -=1;}
else {Bear.Leg.rotation +=1;}
I know why this doesn't work, it passes 149 and then moves back until it's below 149 and gets stuck in a loop. I need it so that the first statement gets overrided then flips back to it later. How can I do this?
How do you press a key (like "L") and go to the next frame?
Which event must I pick?
I assume it's something like: stage.addEventListener(Keyboard., but after that I don't know what to do.
This is for AS 3.0 by the way.

Im making a game and trying to find the best keyboard keys. I mean, if u are holding down shift+d+f the final key f doesn't work bec. of keyboard buffer. etc. If someone know what kind of keys are the best match for flash 2 player game post them here please. So when like 6 keys are pressed at one time, the last keys pressed, will still work. And player won't get stuck.
Here's the current status of the game.Current keys. P1: LEFT, RIGHT, UP, DOWN + L as turbo P2: E, D, F, S + SHIFT as turbo u can try the shift+d+f combination to see what i mean. [Code]...
I am making a game and I have run into a problem where I need to reclick on the game with the mouse for it to recognize keyboard input. I know having to click on the flash game once is normal, but whenever my game restarts (goes to the first level) I have to reclick on it or they keyboard input does not work. How do I resolve this? Is there a way to request the attention of the keyboard or something?
