ActionScript 2.0 :: Move Object With Keyboard And Limit With MovieClip?
Aug 9, 2011
I try to create a MovieClip that i can move with the arrow keys. That worked with:
ActionScript Code:
var keyListener = {};
keyListener.onKeyDown = function()
{
[code]....
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 have several input text fields that should take Hex input. I want to limit keyboard input to a-f, A-F, 0-9, left/right arrows, and backspace. I can determine which key was pressed easy enough; I just don't know how to cancel an unwanted keystroke. This seems like it should be very simple, however, I have not been able to find an answer.

apologies if this question doesn't seem very clear, i'm finding it difficult to describe what i mean.can i make object move 'out of view' in a movieclip?for example, in the same waya movieclip can move offstage, i'm trying to find a way to make the content of a movieclip move out of view to the side but within the scope of the movieclip.so if i have a square movieclip size x=100 y=100 with a circle size 10 in the centre, i'm trying to make it so when my circle moves to the left more than the size of the movieclip it starts to move out of view.another example would be if i had a character on a television (the screen being the movieclip

I tryed to create a movieclip that simulates the windows' windows, lets say it... this is my swf: [url]....at first look, it seems to work right. Its draggable and scalable just like a windows os frame. But so far so good, try to move the horizontal scrollbar thumb till it reaches its limit. Then scale the movieclip.

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.

[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.

How can I move a ball to the left once the left arrow is pressed, so the ball moves to the left side and should automatically return to the right once it reaches the end of the stage... And the same thing should be applied to the right arrow.

I know this is very noob, but I need a simple AS move and loop. Move an object across the stage and once out of site, loop and start over again? It needs to be a slow and endless loop.

I've made a sort of sliding menu in Flash (CS4) which is basically a movie clip that has a function assigned to it that if the cursor goes over a button it starts moving in a direction.
Code:
_root.right.onRollOver = function() {
goRight = true;
};
[Code]....
Now, I don't want that "content" object to slide all the way out of the screen. How can I make it stop at certain position, say x=770? Or is there any better way?

I'm working with a site and I have a problem with one of the swf. The site is a group of some swf's (the root swf, where I call the menu, section1, section2, etc.). There is another swf, a banner. In this swf, I have a butterfly following the cursor. The problem is that it follows through the entire site and not just the banner limits.

I have a swf that I created in Flash CS4 that includes a movieclip. Because I only have a small number of frames for the movieclip I have set it to 6fps so that it runs at the right speed. When I publish and then load the swf the movieclip runs at the right framerate. However, I am actually using these swf files in an actionscript project that loads them up and displays them. When I do that with this swf the fps on the movieclip seems to have reverted to 24fps and is running way too fast. Is there some way to limit the movie clip fps so that it stays the same when I load it in actionscript, or is there any reason why the fps should be reverting? Ideally I would like to have different fps for different elements within my swf - is that possible?

I have a MovieClip that can move up, down, left and right. If the MovieClip hits a wall, the MC bounces, and should not move past the wall--but if you continue to press either your up, down, left or right key, and don't let go--the MovieClip will go past the wall. I'm trying to figure out a way, to stop that from happening.link of movement

I have created a flash app in which there is a circle with circles plotted along it's circumference, it is rotated when the mouse is moved up or down. The rotation is drawn directly from the y position of the mouse pointer. What I would like to do is grade the movement some how so that the further down the mouse pointer goes the less impact on rotation the movement has.
My current code is like this:
myCircle.rotationZ = e.localY;
Is there some form of math formula I could use which would reduce the amount of rotation the greater the y position of the mouse position?

I am trying to move a 'Shape' object across the screen. As the object moves, a copy is being left at the initial position. Almost as if only an instance of original object ahs been moved
This is not an issue for moving an image or MXML graphic. Is something wrong in setting to the move object?
The code is as follows
private var arrow:UIComponent;
private function resetAssets():void{
arrow = new UIComponent();

I'm trying to limit the range with which a movieclip can be moved on the stage using the mc_name._y = mc_name._y + 10. I'm thinking of using a if/else statement but I can't figure out the proper way to write the code.I don't want my movieclip to be able to be moved off the stage completely.Here is the code so far:
zoomin.onRelease = function () {

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'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.

I'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?
