ActionScript 3.0 :: Moving Object From Left To Right Using Keyboard?
Nov 20, 2009
I'm making a game in AS3 and I need to move an object from left to right using the keyboard, it works fine but the problem is that when i push left or right the object moves but not in a fluid way, I assigned to movement to KEY_DOWN but first it moves the ammount of distance i gave up then pauses for half a second and then I moves fluid in the direction i gave. Now my question is how do I need to program it so that when I push the button it move fluid in that direction immediately instead of taking a little pause?

I'm making a two player pong game using flash mx and I followed this tutorial to get to grips with moving objects (the bats) up and down. I got through the tutorial fine but it doesn't make the objects move smoothly. they jerk then pause before moving normally, which would be no good for the game. I found this game on newgrounds which has the pads moving as I'd like them to.

I'm newbie in Flash and action script, just start learning T__T...
onClipEvent (load) {
speed=10;
} onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (key.isDown(key.RIGHT)) {
_x+=speed;
} else if (key.isDown(key.LEFT)) {
_x-=speed;
} if (key.isDown(key.UP)) {
_y-=speed;
} else if (key.isDown(key.DOWN)) {
_y+=speed;
}}
Is that making the object moving to left and right?

using trig, when moving an object based on its current rotation, how does one "detect" if the object is currently moving to its own left or right direction? example: right side up: left moves the car to its left, which is left. upside down(180 rotation): left moves it the car to its left, which is right. based on movement alone, how can i say its moving to its own oriented left or its right?

The code for KEY_UP and KEY_DOWN seems to work fine. But, the rest of it returns the error "1119: Access of possibly undefined property Key through a reference with static type Class." How do you call a function for Right, Left, Enter, and Escape Keys?

I want to differentiate the LEFT SHIFT key on the keyboard from the RIGHT SHIFT key. The code below will do that on my PC Laptop but not on my Macbook Pro. Someone knows a workaround or the reason why?
Marek PS: the sample code below is not from me. PPS: when I trace event.keyLocation I always get 0 no matter which SHIFT key I press.

How can I move a ball to the left once the left arrow is pressed, so the ball moves to the left side and should automatically return to the right once it reaches the end of the stage... And the same thing should be applied to the right arrow.

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.

Basically I need to have a cartoon character walking to the right hand side of the screen and then turning around and moving back to the left hand side and so on.
I have some code done but it could be all wrong as I am not the best coder at all, just starting out.
Code:
package classes{
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import classes.RollableChar;
public class MainApp2 extends MovieClip{
//public var theCharacter:MovieClip;
//public var myCarrot:RollableChar;

i am trying to find out wether the mouse is moving to the left or to the right but i reckon by storing the old mouses location and updating the new postion and store this in a varaible if thats possible
to update and check the mouse x and y postition on the stage saw i can locate
wether the mouse is moving to the left or to the right .

I've got several small moveiclips moving around the screen to different locations using the tween class, and for some reason it leaves little red artifacts in their trail on the screen that won't go away. any way to refresh the screen or something? Is the only way around this to cache the movieclips as bitmaps?

How to make movieclips move only from left to right under the same lane (meaning it is like marching on a lane straight) and stop at 3/4 of the whole stage(3/4 of a stage is a platform I wish to have) irregardless of how big the stage is then disappear. When the object move and get closer to the edge of the platform, the player press either left or right arrow keys to so called remove the object. When click on the right arrow key, "rectangle box" disappear and left arrow key, "circle box" disappear. After like a certain timing(let say its a minute), it would go to another frame to show end of the game.

I posted this question before , but never got an answer that I understood or could get to work - so now that I have something to show I thought I would post it with the question again.
Have a look at this :[URL].. Now, once the screen says "GO!" I want player 1 to be able to move that blue horse across the screen to the finish line (where it will have a hitTest to decide the winner).

I want this code to move my map i.e map_mc when the keyboard keys are pressed. When I add it to the map_mc, I see no effect what do u think I am messing with.
Code:
on (keyPress "<Left>") {
currentX = this._x;
this._x = currentX - 2;
} on (keyPress "<Right>") {
currentX = this._x;
this._x = currentX + 2;
} on (keyPress "<Up>") {
currentY = this._y;
this._y = currentY - 2;
} on (keyPress "<Down>") {
currentY = this._y;
this._y = currentY + 2; }

I read the Movement using ActionScript tutorial [URL]. My question is: How can I make the box stop at a certain point, instead of disappearing. What I want to do is to have a picture move from right to left, and then have it stop when it reaches the left side of a banner that I'm trying to make. I'm working with an image of a ship, and I want to make it look like it's floating from the right, and when it reaches the end, I want it to stop there and have text appear on the right side of the pic.

I have a block that I'm trying to make move from right to left, and if the block gets to a certain point, it will move back to it's original position. So, I have this on my block (movieclip) right now.
Code:
onClipEvent(enterFrame) {
speed = 3
dist = 8.5
_x -= speed;
if (_x = dist) {
_x += 3
}}
But all this is doing is throwing the block at the 8.5 distance...

Here's my situation, I'm making a stick fighting game, where this stick figure fights others. I have the basic moves done inside a mc. I just tried to use Kirupa's tutorial on how to animate that bug with the keyboard arrow keys, but it didn't work. It moved the whole screen. All I want to do, is when you press the left or right arrow keys, the movements (the mc's name) move to the left/right. I attached the .fla. The basic controls are the left arrow animates it left, the right animates it right, and the enter key makes him punch.

At the bottom I have some leaves there. I want to make a couple different size leaves like that and make them go from left to right at random paths and have it loop. I don't know much about actionscript but is there a way to do this without having to make a bunch of guide paths and doing lots of tweens and rotations?

I am trying to do a apply a tween for the width property on a MovieClip Object but every time it changes the width and the position too, and I don't want that. I want to change the width going to one side without changing the x and y of the object.
I tried both of thes and they gave the same result.
var c:Tween = new Tween(left, "scaleX", Strong.easeOut, 1, 1.5,20,true);
var c:Tween = new Tween(left, "width", Strong.easeOut, 20, 200,20,true);
I think it is applying the transformation according to a center of the movie clip. but I don't know how it can be changed.
