why the ship starts to pull left after flying around with it for a bit (use arrow keys to controll)all code is on the movieclip.
[AS]
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if(!start1){[code]....
im trying to create a basic spaceship flying game and the first problem ive got is controlling the ship.the controls i need are thrust and left-rotate and right-rotate. much like this,[URL]..at the start this tut mentions 'game control tutorials' does anyone know where these are? i think i would find these useful. the above tut doesnt go into scripting.
[Code]...
I am following this tutorial and i have got to step 9.http:[url]......I have made a file called Ship.as with this code in.
class Ship extends MovieClip[code]....
When i test the SWF nothing happens. The ship just sits in the top left corner doing nothing.
I've got a site that is using loadSound to play some mp3s and it works fine. however, the sound starts to stream, and then replays itself like a second later. my guess is that its playing faster than the load is going and when it gets to the point where it hasn't loaded enough, it starts to replay it, but i'm not sure that that is the exact problem. my code:
[Code]...
now, i tried making a playTrack function that i can call with setTimeout and i put that in the onLoad in place of track.start(), but that didn't work either (i was hoping to not start playing the track for 3 seconds to give it some time to buffer).
what I'm trying to do is get the MC:glide to rotate towards MC:ship.
Code:
var theX:int = ship.x - glide.x;
var theY:int = (ship.y - glide.y);
var testVision:Number = Math.atan2(theY,theX) * (180/Math.PI);
[code]....
but that's not what I want. What I want it to do is make glide rotate TOWARDS ship, not always face it. I would also like for it to rotate, depending on which way is faster, clockwise or counterclockwise.
I have a ship on stage but I can't move the ship with keyboard
Code:
package {

the game is a little flash component found here:[URL].. i found that link here[URL].. I have been using/converting the examples they give in the second link but cant get my "missile" to behave correctly. I am using java and andEngine combo. Here is what I have right now:
[Code]...
this code just makes the object travel to the upper right hand corner of the screen and it doesnt move after that. so i am missing something
my end goal is to have an object that will chase the users touch coordinates. I know how to have the object follow such coordinates but I dont want it to follow the exact path, but rather the shortest path to the most updated coordinates. so more like an intercept course
I've been trying to move a ship for a game with my mouse out of a .as file, But the ship just won't budge!

Been making a site and came across a problem. I want to have a ship movieclip follow the mouse slowly and rotate and flip on horizontal axis according to the mouse potition. I've been looking on this Here's the code on the timeline I got so far but it just makes the movieclip follow the mouse;

ship_mc.onEnterFrame = function() {
var xMouse = _root._xmouse;

I have a game with a variety of ship types. My Ship class has a static array holding one of each of the types in it. Whenever I make a new Ship (other than when initializing this array), I want to make it a clone of one of the existing Ship objects in my prototype array.
1 - How can I run through all the properties in one Ship object and assign them to a second Ship object?
2 - How can I see if a property is an object or a basic type like String or int? Some of the objects in my Ship class need to be cloned, and some are just references that need to stay the same.
When I am pressing a key nothing happens. I have 2 AS files and a Ship object in the library.
1st is Engine.
Code:
package {
import flash.display.MovieClip;
public class Engine extends MovieClip {
private var ourShip:Ship=new Ship();
public function Engine() {
addChild(ourShip);

I was trying to make a game with simple spaceships and a bullet that is supposed to hit them and delete them on screen. As all ships are deleted the level gets up by one, increasing number of ships to delete. I think the collision detection part of my program works fine, but their is some problem in their motion synchronization.
Code:
package {
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
public class HitGame extends Sprite {

I'm making a top-down shooter game.I have keyboard input that moves the ship around and fires a laser. everything works perfect except that when the ship moves diagonal up left, or diagonal down right, the laser can't fire at the same time. It will work in any other direction, including the other diagonals.here is my code:
[AS]
function captureKeys() {
if (Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT) && ship.x < 355 ) {
ship.x+=ship.right[code].....
Im trying to add flames while my spaceship is flying. When forward button is pressed the flame appears from the center of the ship and when the right or left button is pressed the flame appears from the right or left side of the ship, I tried to use gotoAndStop, but it only shows frame by the last pressed button, if I press two keys at same time I see only one flame. What should I do to see two frames at the same time?

View 14 RepliesI have a series of thumbnails that should scroll from left to right & right to left when you roll over the movie clip buttons on either side.

looking to create an image/mc slider that moves form right to left via user clicks of a left and right button.I would assume I would create an array to hold a series of mc's in (my images) and then tell the left and right buttons CLICK events to move linearly through the array (displaying next in line and previous etc.
View 1 Repliestrying to color objects that are flying around in my space game.When I shoot and hit them - the affected enemies shall blink. The graphics are pre-rendered (i.e. there's an rotation array and function where the degrees and their appropriate rotation for the objects are stored / calculated for better performance).
So - my idea was to enhance that rotation function with a functionality for additional coloring; but the colored AND rotated objects shall be stored apart of the normal rotated objects. To accomplish this I made a nested array:in row one there are 360 rotated graphics of one object and in row two there are 360 graphics of a rotated and colored object.
Problem: Coloring works but they are not rotated (always at 0 degrees).
Code:
public function createRotationWithColorBlitArrayFromBD(sourceBitmapData:BitmapData, inc:int, offset:int = 0):Array
{
trace("sourceBitmapData.width=" + sourceBitmapData.width);

When I implement the hitTest all the objects stop flying. Is it becaus too much is happening and the CPU has to think - I don't think so - my game is so basic. By the way, somewhere along the line I will use loops and arrays but at the moment I know what's going on in my code.
[Code]...
I got an object (called tempEnemy) which is flying around and shooting. The problem is that I can't keep the value tempEnemy.rotateTo positive, i.e. It shall be between 0 and 359 degrees. Currently rotateTo ranges from:
rotateTo < 0 (bug) && rotateTo > 0 && rotateTo > 359 (bug).
tempEnemy.dX = tempEnemy.destX - tempEnemy.x;
tempEnemy.dY = tempEnemy.destY - tempEnemy.y;
//I added 180 because my tempEnemy object was looking and shooting to the wrong direction
tempEnemy.rotateTo = (toDegrees(getRadians(tempEnemy.dX, tempEnemy.dY))) + 180;
if (tempEnemy.rotateTo > tempEnemy.frame + 180) tempEnemy.rotateTo -= 360;
if (tempEnemy.rotateTo < tempEnemy.frame - 180) tempEnemy.rotateTo += 360;
tempEnemy.incFrame = int((tempEnemy.rotateTo - tempEnemy.frame) / tempEnemy.rotateSpeed);
I have been looking all over the internet for a tutorial to which will show me how to re-create this effect on images.[url]...
I dont want to install these 3rd party components, because the project I am working on at present, may in future need to be edited by other designers/developers.
Is there anyway to do this just via scripting?
I have a client who has seen an effect where letters fly around and then come together to form words like this: [URL]
