ActionScript 3.0 :: Flash - How To Flip 2D Character When Moving

Mar 15, 2011

I have a mc called boy and I have an instance of that mc called boy_mc. I have figured out how to make his position change on the stage, but I cannot figure out how to do some other things.

Here is the code that I have so far:
import flash.events.KeyboardEvent;
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, keyPressed);
function keyPressed(evt:KeyboardEvent):void{
switch(evt.keyCode) {
[Code] .....

I am trying to learn 3 things.

1. How do I make him be facing left when I push left and facing right when I push to right?
2. How to I restrict him to a certain area of the stage? I am going to have some buildings on the top and I don't want him to be able to walk past the street level. So basically I don't want him to be able to go off the stage or up some to be determined height.
3. When he walks up and touches a door on my stage, I want to jump to another place in the timeline.

Flash / AS3 Gaming - Character Moving Along Curved Terrain

Dec 3, 2011

I'm trying to create simple 2D action game, something similar to well known Fancy Pants Adventures :) I've been looking for answer for more than week and all I've found is [URL] which not answers the question. (I've found also moving on platforms that are rotated but that's not I'm looking for). I have also found great (and free!) flash game engine - CitrusEngine which I'm currently using, but, it doesn't provide moving hero along curved terrain. How to make hero moving along curved terrain like this one: [URL]. There are plenty of games like this (for ex. Fancy Pants or Robot Unicorn Attack) where main character moves along the curved terrain but I can't find answer how can I do that.

I've looked at the other flip-book programs and editors out there, and none really give the customization that my company wants.I have something working, but the page scoping seems to be off. The pages will turn back and forward with a button click but they flip out of order. However, it all runs fine with no error when the user clicks on the pages themselves. This is the code from the main timeline (where I'm getting an error).

ActionScript 2.0 :: Key.isDown Function - Moving Character

Jan 3, 2010

I have a character with multiple animations by way of movieclips, and I'm trying to have it move using the Key.isDown function. Now, my character is moving correctly, but when the key is released, the animation keeps playing. I tried adding a stop command at the end of the walkcycle animation, but that just causes the character to stay frozen on the last frame of the cycle.

Here is the ActionScript Code:
onClipEvent(load) {
var direction = "left";
var speed = 2;
