ActionScript 3.0 :: Mouse Orientated Movement - Move Left And Right With The Arrow Keys?
Jan 27, 2011
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 used to use AS 2.0 but I've finally made the switch to 3.0. I am majoring in CS so I am familiar with basic/intermediate concepts, but I am very unfamiliar with 3.0. I have a movieclip controlled by arrow keys, however the movement is still slightly choppy. Everything is uploaded below, the code I note here is the code for movement located within the .as file.
Code:
package {
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.display.Stage;
import flash.events.KeyboardEvent;
import flash.events.Event;

I am a beginner to flash gaming. I am making a platform game, but can not reverse my character when he goes backwards. This is my code for left and right: if (Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)) {_x += speed;} if (Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)) {_x -= speed;} How Can I reverse it so when it goes LEFT, the character turns all the way around?

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.

so 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.

My character's name is character. When left and right are pressed it tells me what's being pressed when I run it - it says there's no errors with the code. My character doesn't do anything though! [code]...

I'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??

To move the MC, using arrow keys I used the following and it worked:
var timer:Timer;
var direct:String;
initStage();
[Code].....
I tried to convert this to use my onstage buttons: up_btn, down_btn, left_btn, right_btn to move MC box but couldn't figure it out.

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?

Within my application I'm using a Scroller component. I can't seem to figure out which event I should set up a listener on in order to know when content is scrolled. I tried Event.CHANGE on Scroller.verticalScrollBar property but apparently that event doesn't fire when the user scrolls with a mouse wheel or arrow keys.

I have a custom component, containing a List displaying items from an XMLListCollection:
[Code]....
Also if I click twice, only 1 mouse click will cause my custom event to be dispatched (because obviously there is no change between the items). how to make my List only react to mouse clicks? UPDATE: Yes, I've tried using "change" event for the List before, but then I have the problem that it is fired, even if the List scrollbar is clicked.
