ActionScript 3.0 :: Basic 2D Game "camera" - Move The Character Using The Keyboard?
Jul 27, 2009
Everything going well so far except for camera control. I want the character to always be in the center of the screen. only when the side boundaries are reached, the character should leave the center of the screen to be able to reach the sides of the screen.Somewhat like this: http:[url]....I've tried 2 ways but both without succes:
- move the character using the keyboard, but somehow keep it in the center of the screen (have no idea on this one)
- move the entire area except the character to simulate movement.
This seems kind of ineffeciant but it worked out better that the previous attempt, the only problem is that the character doesn't return to the center of the screen when he leaves the boundary.The .fla's are available for download here http:[url]....
the actionscript is all in the first frame.try not to be too hard on the crappy visuals Ignore the comments too, theyre only there to help me understand what I did.The boundaries seem to be a bit sketchy aswell when moving to the sides, but that's not a big problem right now.

i've been trying to animate a basic character, which is a comp of 2 legs, 2 arms, a torso and a head.I want it to move from point a to point b, whilist moving it's arms and legs in a very simple manner. what i've done is motion tweened the main character from point a to point b during 10 frames, and then inside the character i've classic tweened the arms and legs during 10 frames aswell. the animation inside the comp is working, but in the main scene i only see the character moving, and in frame 10 the arms and legs change to the tween's final pose, without the entire animation in the middle...

It's about the "Game Character Dialogues", It is used to instruct the user what to do, like what you see in BookWorm or Diner DAsh.I used dynamic text fields to generate these dialogues,but as I continued doing it. I found myself stuck.I have no idea on how to change the words when the "next" button is clicked. there will be no previous button. but the dialogue will replay when the character is clicked.

I'm currently making the basic groundwork to a game. On my main timeline I have two frames. The first frame has the 'start screen' let me say, which actually is a little different to the norm in that you can move your character across the screen and activate thinkg to pop up like instructions, so kind of making agame of your standard first screen if that makes sense, like the opening to the game Braid.I have it so that when the character touches (hitTestObject) a square the frame goes to (gotoAndStop) frame 2, and then on frame 2 the actual game will start.The error is this: TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.at gameBasis_fla::MainTimeline/startGame()It shows on the output panel for my three functions - one function is for keypresses, the other for an enter_frame popup animation and the other is the function which takes the game from frame 1 to frame 2!
ActionScript Code:
function fadeOutF(evt:Event):void{
if (characterBoy_mc.hitTestObject(house_mc)){

Are there any relatively simple programs for building flash applications. I want to add a basic card game to my site, that can keep track of the user's score. The site right now is built in just html, though I will be changing it over to php shortly to implement a log in system. I'd really like to avoid having to learn actionscript on top of it, there has to be some sort of.. basic wysiwyg type flash builder out there?

I'm currently trying to make a basic escape the room game in Flash, and for some reason the last couples of entries I have made for the code aren't working. Right before adding these lines, everything worked and I already know that each object has been converted into a movie clip or button and has the correct instance name.

A friend of mine asked for a simple program. Input: Coordinates of some points, spheres, planes etc. (from an excel document (strictly) ) Output: A 3D view of the input which the user can move the camera. The questions is, how can I do that easiest way. I have experience in C++, C#, Flash (AS), Java

I'm making simple 3D transformations in Flash to rotate stuff, but I get distortions. I can rotation left, right, up, down, but not diagonally since it completely distorts my faces (the ones I draw).I think I fail to move the camera somehow, but I'm not experienced enough to understand my error.Here's the file: http:[url]....
Example: when a face is rotated at about 45° around the y axis (vertical to screen) and then rotated around the x axis the perspective doesn't feel right... the faces are too narrow.What I do is multiply the rotation matrices between themselves (the mouse position providing the angles) get the transformed points, project them to screen and draw boxes with them.

Im trying to make a game at the moment, with a little character who runs around the screen. To do this i have keyboard event listeners on the character.I have an inventory which opens when you click a button, and has number of things to click on.My problem is that when i close the inventory, by clicking the close button, my keyboard event listeners no longer work on my character.
Keyboard events also dont work on the stage at this point, and i cant understand what i need to do.Its as if nothing has focus anymore for keyboard events. Mouse clicks still work fine.

I am playing around a bit with the PushButton Engine for game development in Flash and have come across a need for a Camera like the Camera that follows Mario in Mario Games. Flashpunk has a nice implementation of it.
Does PushButton have it out of the Box?(I searched for it and didn't find, hence the question here).

I am making a fighting game and I have made an attempt to make a kinda moving camera effect. Bascially two movieclips are inside a container movieclip. When one movieclip moves back the container scales down ( zooming out ) and when the two movieclips are close together the container mc zooms in. The containers _x is inbetween the two movieclips.
This is the best iv tried to explain it - sorry its probably hard to understand what im doing. Here is my attempt at doing it but its not very good i was wondering if anybody has got a better way of doing it.

What is the best way to set up a game where I can customize my character? I want to be able to let the user select the clothes, skin color, hair style, etc, and then run a preset animation with that character in it, but am unsure how to set this up in Flash other than building a bunch of buttons with all of the possible options (too time consuming and I bet there's a better way).

I have found a ton of tutorials with code that teaches you how to move a character, or move objects with arrow keys.... but I have found nothing that teaches you the code that allows the character in a video game to move an object around. like for example a character needs to slide a block across the ground so he can jump on it to reach platform that higher up.In my platformer game, I have figured out how to jump and move the character back and forth among the platforms with gravity, and thats as far as I have got.

I'm sorry if this is the wrong section. But I'm looking for help with my actionscript coding. I'm fairly new to Flash. I've only scripted some simple websites so far and this is the first time I try to make a flash game. I started yesterday but I'm already having problems with my script.
I have a scene with 2 layers: one with my character and one with the bounds (ground, ceiling and walls).
Inside my character movie clip, I have this: Which is basically a bunch of frames labeled and with the action to stop();. Each one containing another movie clip with the respective animations. So the idea was, when I press "A", jump to "walk left". And it kinda worked, but I have some problems and I'm not really sure how to solve them.
