ActionScript 3.0 :: Efficient Background Movement - Left And Right?
Oct 19, 2009
I'm working on a game and I want the background of the game to move or the view of it at least. I know that it is possible to create the image and have it move left and right, but for larger images this can create lag since it's moving such a large movie clip. If I were to use a mask the size of the viewing window, would it keep the whole background from being drawn and save on processor? Is there any other method for handling this efficiently?

Ok, so I've tried a lot of different ways of loading background music in Flash, and now I'm wondering what the most efficient way of doing it really is.
I have my DocumentClass, and I have a MusicPlayer class. The MusicPlayer class controls the volume and mute function, as well as holding all the visible elements of the music player.
Where should I load the music initially? From the DocumentClass at the startup? Or in the MusicPlayer after the site has initially loaded? I want the music to start playing as soon as the initial loading process has finished.

I'm trying to achieve random motion of my movie clips limited from stage left to stage right. I've read the following tutorials:
[URL]
both are helpful. However, I don't want mouse position to affect anything (as it does in the 'continuous movement' tutorial). The 'random motion' code is pretty close...if I just knew what part of the code to modify to limit motion from left to right.

Is there any tutorial showing how to do a slide show where the images are loaded dynamically through XML and when I move the mouse to left or right, the images moves aside left or right depending where the mouse cursor is please. I have around 100 small images to show. No need any fancy effects, it's simple the image sliding according the mouse position (left / right).

I have the following script in both frame 1 and 2 to let a movieclip move from right to left on the stage:
Code:
speed =-5
name._x += speed
if (name._x<-500) {
name._x = 250;
}
And the clip is indeed moving from right to left on the stage and when it reaches _x -550 it is going back to it's starting position _x 250 only the movement isn't smooth at all. What should I do to make the movement more smooth or should I use a completely different script?

I have a big circle with buildings all around the edge. There are two buttons that should control it. One to rotate the circle left, and one to rotate the circle right. I'd like each click of a button to rotate the circle and have it stop on a building, which then would activate an animation of the building.

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'm trying to work out how to take a mc with a jpg image sequence in it and then control the playback by using the left and right mouse movement. I've searched the web and various flash forums for quite sometime but cannot find any info on how this is achieved. Perhaps I'm searching for the wrong terms? An example of what I want to do can be found here (flash animation at top of page). Click and drag on the computer or 360 button to spin it around. I want to do this but with one of my own 3d models that I've rendered out as an image sequence(jpgs).

[URL]. I am curious how I can achieve an effect like this. More specifically the background movement associated with dragging on the mouse. How is the image constucted? Is it a large circular image?

Right basically I have a character and a background. The background scrolls as you press left or right on keyboard to create the illusion of movement. I want the character to flip when you change from holding down left to right and vice versa, but when I do the following code it doubles the size of the character once and then it stays. It flips fine but in the transformed fat size.
Here's the code:
var mySpeed:Number = 10;
function keyIsDown(evt:KeyboardEvent):void{
if(evt.keyCode==Keyboard.RIGHT){
walkingPlane_mc.x+=mySpeed;
greyCharacter_mc.scaleX=-1;

I'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?

I have a photo turned symbol on a white background. I'm not sure how I did it but I separated the symbol from the white background. but now I have all these bits around the edges left over that are white and I don't know how to clean it up. I tried the eraser, I tried painting over it, I tried selecting it to cut or delete. not one of these things worked.

I 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. IT was working in another flash movie, but I moved it to a different flash file and now it's not working. The hit buttons within the movie clip buttons have this action script:

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.

I've some components with dynamic heights. They have to be aligned with respect to the bottom of my canvas container, so I cannot set the same y for all components.
I could compute their heights and successively set the y but I was wondering if there was an easier way to do it.
