I want to know if there's a way to make a symbol move the direction it's facing.I have a character which rotates when you press Left/Right:
if(Key.isDown(Key.LEFT))
{
_rotation -= 15;
[code].....
Basically after adding an object on stage (using actionscript), it will be situated at a random rotation angle using:
this._rotation = Math.random()* 360;
After that, I want my object to move in the direction that it is facing, (using onEnterFrame?). How do I do that?

I've got a movieclip which follows a predefined path (like in those tower defense games). Normally the mc changes the direction it faces with Math.atan2 method and then rotates the movieclip, but because this game is in a tilted view( in stead of directly from the top) I need it to change the frame in the MC according to the direction it's facing.
Is it possible to read out Math.atan2 method data, and then change the frame the MC is displaying, according to this data? I used [URl]...on-and-realism as a base for this game. If Math.atan2 method

View 1 RepliesI have a MC with a ball-movement, that I'd like to move in a specific direction, anytime on pressing A. Here's my code so far (the target is the center of the paddle); but it only does the last part and reverses the current direction.
ActionScript Code:
on (keyPress "a") {
endX = _root.pad._x;
[Code]....
This is a painfully simple concept and for some reason I can't get my head around it. The basic idea is I want a sprite to come down half way and then if it fails a random check, to reverse direction and move back towards the top.
Code:
private var _ReverseDirection:Boolean = (Math.random() > .5) ? true : false;
public var _Vel = 3;
public function main(){
[Code]....
So basically the the sprites created, a true/false boolean is made and the Loop function is started. As you can see though, as soon as the sprite starts moving backwards it fails the If statement and starts bouncing back and forth between passing and failing. I've toyed around with putting them in different functions, complex If statements, etc but it keeps coming back the conditions fluctuating back and forth.
i'm trying to work out how to get a movieclip (of an arrow) to rotate then move in the direction it is pointing, controlled using the keyboard. Below is the code i have written so far, I can't get it to move in the correct direction. I also can't get it to keep moving after only one key press.
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, keyPressDown);var stageW:uint=stage.stageWidth;var stageH:uint=stage.stageHeight;
var speed:Number = 5;
var angle:Number =45;
[Code].....
I would like the Ball to move in a random direction 0-360,Then i would like the Ball to richoche off of the BallBoundry in its reflected direction.
View 2 RepliesI'm moving a movie clip using actionscript (as2) instead of a motion tween (because I want to save file size) and I have this code on the first frame of the main timeline ("stone" is the movieclip instance name) and it tells the movie clip how many pixels to move in the x direction:
Code:
xTargetstone = 600;
I have this code on the movie clip itself ("stone" is the mc instance name) to handle the actual moving of the movie clip:
Code:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
xstone = getProperty(_root.stone, _x);
movestone = _root.xTargetstone - xstone;
setProperty(_root.stone, _x, xstone + (movestone/5));
}
The movement works fine, but the issue is that it starts out fast and then slows down over time (even though that amount of time is small). The result is that the movie clip seems to wiggle and vibrate before it stops. Is there a way for me to change the code so that it doesn't wiggle and vibrate? perhaps something with the math I'm just not totally understanding? I would like a nice consistent motion from start to finish, while being able to set the time it takes to move etc.

How to move the image in the opposite direction of mouse.
[URL] i assume it's a series of frames with slightly different photos of the razor. when you play the movie it looks like it is spinning. my question is, how do they get the movie clip it to play forward when you move the mouse in one direction, and backward in the other? is it something like mouse over to the right and left (i'm bad with the direction code)??
right now i have a version that will play the movie clip (it's a button w/ only a hotspot) on mouse over and it will stop when the mouse os off the hotspot, but i can't get it to work like the headblade example. because i don't know the right code to play forward and back etc on mouse moves.
am creating a video game similar to Arakanoid butwith a small amount of moving objects instead of stationaryobjects. I am not trying to make an exact recreation but at leastsomething that is playable and fun that can be made in Di. I am just taking it one step at a time so my question is, amI able to create a border around thisportion of my picture? The black border is also part of thesame PNG. Is it possible to create a border in the code so nothingpasses that section or does my picture have to be separate from theblack border? Basically, I want all actions constrained within thatpicture frame.

View 12 RepliesAll I'm trying to do is move one graphic (converted to symbol) from one side to another. However, when I try to put in the 'motion tween' it keeps saying "Multiple objects are selected, you must convert them to a symbol in order to tween them. Do you want to convert them and create a tween?" If I click 'Ok' it comes up with "The tween could not be applied to some of the selected frames. This could be due to the frame containing ActionScript, Multiple objects, non-tweenable objects or being on a layer that cannot be a tween layer"
View 1 RepliesI'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:

if (key.isdown(37)) {

} if (key.isdown(39)) {

} if (key.isdown(38)) {
_y -= speed;

View 1 RepliesI've made a draggable menu for a flash site (menu_mc), but the buttons don't work inside the movie clip when I apply startDrag. To remedy the problem, I simply made another movie clip (menubuttons). I now want to more or less attach the two movieclips:
Code:
if (menu_mc.moveTo(x,y)) {
menubuttons.moveTo(menu_mc.x,menu_mc.y)
};
I also tried some pretty iffy statements:
Code:
menubuttons._x = menu_mc._x
That last one works initially, but when I move menu_mc, menubuttons stays put.
have a ball with the name of mc which can be moved using the keyboard .. when you press the left mouse button shoots the ball, this ball and the other flies in the face where the cursor was in the shot .. but if you move the cursor to another location and shoot a second time then the second ball is also flying in the direction of the cursor and the first ball change direction toward a second shot ..
ActionScript Code:
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.display.DisplayObject;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
[Code]....
how to make that first ball did not change its direction and continued to fly in the direction of the shot?
