i want a my_mc to move when i press the < LEFT> arrow but also to fire and onEnterFrame event so it will move.. and also to delete the onEnterFrame when the key is not pressed so the onENterFrame is not going on in the background

View 5 RepliesBasically I wanna remove my mc "ball" when you press the left arrow key. I've tried stuff like
Code:
if (Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)){
ball._x -= 1;
}
Some reason gives me like, "needs clip events"
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.
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?
View 5 Repliesi am doing this: press buttons on screen to move character left or right, "swipe" elsewhere on screen to do other stuff.
This is how i have handled it:
Multitouch.inputMode = MultitouchInputMode.TOUCH_POINT;
stage.addEventListener(TouchEvent.TOUCH_BEGIN, onTouchBegin);
stage.addEventListener(TouchEvent.TOUCH_END, onTouchEnd);
buttonContainer.addEventListener(TouchEvent.TOUCH_ OVER, tOver);
buttonContainer.addEventListener(TouchEvent.TOUCH_ OUT, tOut);
this works fine, just wondering if anyone has another way to handle it. it seems excessive to have 4 handlers for touch input, but i cant figure out any other way.
TOUCH_OVER and TOUCH_OUT check a switch statement to enable/disable buttons within buttonContainer.
TOUCH_BEGIN and TOUCH_END are used to store points and get a "swipe angle" (only if TOUCH_END is not over a button)
my only problem is i started having glitch's i think becuase so many listeners including: ORIENTATION_CHANGE, KeyboardEvents, Event.DEACTIVATE
this is why i ask if perhaps im missing someway to simplify the touch input listeners
I have 3 movie clips lined up as buttons. When you rollover one, the others fade out to an alpha of 20. I also added an arrow that is called when I click on a mc to align it self to the top center of the mc. When I added the arrow I lost my fading. Somewhere in the actions is messing this up.Here is a fla file. I am using Flash MX actionscriptI also have Flash MX 2004 but I dont like it.

I am making a side scrolling game and I have all my pieces made, background, main character, enemies, wall, floor, etc. I have begun coding it with Action Script 3. I have it to where i have a main menu, and two buttons= one that goes to instructions and one that starts the game. I have my main character as a movie clip and inside the movie clip I have labels- stand, right walk, left walk, jump, duck, fire, and die.I coded it to where when I press my right arrow key it goes to and plays the right walk, down arrow key it plays the duck label.I have a trace on them and they are working. What Im trying to figure out how to do is 2 things. First, when my character gets to a certain spot on the screen, he stops walking and the screen moves, and second how to make the enemies move. Im scripting everything internally and not using any classes for this game.

well i want to make buttons that on rollover move to left, on rollout move back to their initial position, and if clicked, they but stay this time at the final rollover place, and be there until something else is clicked. When something else is clicked, the previous button , returns to its initial place. So i ve got it all figured out except for the freeze and move part when the buttons are clicked. All it does now , is when they are clicked they freeze at the position i want, but i havent got a clue how to update them, after so they start moving back, and reacting on rollover and rollout, when the next button is clicked.

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.
View 9 Repliesso 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.

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.

I've got two different instances of two different MovieClips on the stage of the fla. Visually they're identical but one is facing left and one is facing right. When the file runs, the one that's facing left appears on the stage while the one that's facing right is set to be invisible. What I'm trying to do is have the one that's facing left go invisible when the right arrow is pressed and for the one that's facing right to appear in it's place and accept further input from the right arrow key. When I run the file, the one facing left moves just fine. My problem is that when I press right, the one facing left disappears and the one facing right appears in it's place but it just moves once and stops.
I'm using the actionscript below to Move Object Using The Arrow Keys and it works fine but I want to modify it so that when I press the up key it goes to and play a movie clip. Basically it's a ball movie clip that responds to the arrow key but on the up key it plays a bouncing movieclip and everything remains aligned.
Here is the script-
var speed =5;
this.onEnterFrame =function(){
if(Key.isDown(Key.UP)) {
circle._y -= speed;
} if(Key.isDown(Key.DOWN)) {
circle._y += speed;
} if(Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)) {
circle._x -= speed;
} if(Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)) {
circle._x += speed;
}};
I created an animated character as a movie clip and I want to be able to move it using the arrow keys. I created a new layer and have the character on that layer.

View 2 RepliesI'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??
