I have a ship on stage but I can't move the ship with keyboard
Code:
package {
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.events.KeyboardEvent;
import flash.ui.Keyboard;
[Code]...
When I am pressing a key nothing happens. I have 2 AS files and a Ship object in the library.
1st is Engine.
Code:
package {
import flash.display.MovieClip;
public class Engine extends MovieClip {
private var ourShip:Ship=new Ship();
public function Engine() {
addChild(ourShip);
[Code] .....
I'm making a top-down shooter game.I have keyboard input that moves the ship around and fires a laser. everything works perfect except that when the ship moves diagonal up left, or diagonal down right, the laser can't fire at the same time. It will work in any other direction, including the other diagonals.here is my code:
[AS]
function captureKeys() {
if (Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT) && ship.x < 355 ) {
ship.x+=ship.right[code].....
I'm trying to get a ship to move with a thruster and retain its velocity
here's the code

How do you press a key (like "L") and go to the next frame?
Which event must I pick?
I assume it's something like: stage.addEventListener(Keyboard., but after that I don't know what to do.
This is for AS 3.0 by the way.
[URL] tutorial here was something I ran across while trying to learn how to move an MC using the keyboard. However, I'm looking to do a motion that is a bit more complicated than that - and I'm somewhat stumped. (Yup, Im new to actionscripting) I'd like to be able to move the MC 100 pixels (and that part I've figured out), but I need the motion to be smooth - with inertia. I searched and searched, and this is a link I found that looked useful in demonstrating the effect:[URL] Click the 4th example - 'Inertia, Single plane of movement'
Now, instead of having the _xmouse determine the position, I want to hit the 'forward/backward' keys on the keyboard, and make it hop smoothly forward or backward a 100 pixels. Im just confused where to add what, and I am continuing to work on it. This is being programmed in Flash MX 2004.
I have a problem with keyboard input, in one of my gameclasses i want to react to user input, i get no errors but myfunction like keyDownHandler wont be called.I have found solutions with child variables and child.focusbut its not working for me?
View 1 RepliesHow 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.
View 1 RepliesI try to create a MovieClip that i can move with the arrow keys. That worked with:
ActionScript Code:
var keyListener = {};
keyListener.onKeyDown = function()
{
[code]....
Now I tried to limit the area where I can move this MovieClip "cursor_mc". I found a lot of solutions but those where always solutions where the limitation zone was a rectangular. I was looking for a solution where I can create a "cursorlimit_mc" MovieClip and as long as the "cursor_mc" clip is inside of this clip I can move it with my keys. If it isnt possible to limit that, maybe I can create more than just 4 points and draw the limitation szone?
how can i make an object move with arrow keys on my keyboard, i am using as3.so when i hit the left arrow, it moves to the left etc..
View 5 RepliesI have two scenes in flash - when you go to scene 2 there is a eventListener attached to the stage to move a movieclip. When I test the movie the only way the keyboard listener seems to work is if I click on the stage first, then the object will move. Is there a solution to this. The code I am using is:

I'm trying to get the characters in this Flash game to move diagonally - it works, but the following occurs: The character is walking twice as fast as it does when going left, right, up, downThe walking animation doesn't play PHP Code:
[Code]...
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.
what I'm trying to do is get the MC:glide to rotate towards MC:ship.
Code:
var theX:int = ship.x - glide.x;
var theY:int = (ship.y - glide.y);
var testVision:Number = Math.atan2(theY,theX) * (180/Math.PI);
[code]....
but that's not what I want. What I want it to do is make glide rotate TOWARDS ship, not always face it. I would also like for it to rotate, depending on which way is faster, clockwise or counterclockwise.
I am following this tutorial and i have got to step 9.http:[url]......I have made a file called Ship.as with this code in.
class Ship extends MovieClip[code]....
When i test the SWF nothing happens. The ship just sits in the top left corner doing nothing.
the game is a little flash component found here:[URL].. i found that link here[URL].. I have been using/converting the examples they give in the second link but cant get my "missile" to behave correctly. I am using java and andEngine combo. Here is what I have right now:
[Code]...
this code just makes the object travel to the upper right hand corner of the screen and it doesnt move after that. so i am missing something
my end goal is to have an object that will chase the users touch coordinates. I know how to have the object follow such coordinates but I dont want it to follow the exact path, but rather the shortest path to the most updated coordinates. so more like an intercept course
I've been trying to move a ship for a game with my mouse out of a .as file, But the ship just won't budge!
ActionScript Code:
class Ship extends MovieClip {
function onEnterFrame() {

why the ship starts to pull left after flying around with it for a bit (use arrow keys to controll)all code is on the movieclip.

Been making a site and came across a problem. I want to have a ship movieclip follow the mouse slowly and rotate and flip on horizontal axis according to the mouse potition. I've been looking on this Here's the code on the timeline I got so far but it just makes the movieclip follow the mouse;
Code:
ship_mc.onEnterFrame = function() {
var xMouse = _root._xmouse;

I have a game with a variety of ship types. My Ship class has a static array holding one of each of the types in it. Whenever I make a new Ship (other than when initializing this array), I want to make it a clone of one of the existing Ship objects in my prototype array.
1 - How can I run through all the properties in one Ship object and assign them to a second Ship object?
2 - How can I see if a property is an object or a basic type like String or int? Some of the objects in my Ship class need to be cloned, and some are just references that need to stay the same.
I was trying to make a game with simple spaceships and a bullet that is supposed to hit them and delete them on screen. As all ships are deleted the level gets up by one, increasing number of ships to delete. I think the collision detection part of my program works fine, but their is some problem in their motion synchronization.
Code:
package {
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
public class HitGame extends Sprite {

im trying to create a basic spaceship flying game and the first problem ive got is controlling the ship.the controls i need are thrust and left-rotate and right-rotate. much like this,[URL]..at the start this tut mentions 'game control tutorials' does anyone know where these are? i think i would find these useful. the above tut doesnt go into scripting.

I have 2 scenes. In both scenes, I have a movie clip that moves via keyboard control. If the goto next scene is triggered by the movie clip in the first scene the keyboard control works in the second. However, if I use a button to move to the next scene then there isn't any control over the movieclip in that scene. I've traced the keyCode in the second scene and it is picked up but the switch statement doesn't run. I'm migrating to Actionscript 3.0 and updating something I created in 2.0. I would like to do it without writing a class.

View 10 Repliestutorial where when you click on a movie clip it moves to a certain location on the page and then zoom in and makes it a certain size. Also i want it to move back to its original location if you click it again.I want the move and zoom to be smooth so the users can see it move across the screen then gradually get bigger.
View 5 Replieswell i want to make buttons that on rollover move to left, on rollout move back to their initial position, and if clicked, they but stay this time at the final rollover place, and be there until something else is clicked. When something else is clicked, the previous button , returns to its initial place. So i ve got it all figured out except for the freeze and move part when the buttons are clicked. All it does now , is when they are clicked they freeze at the position i want, but i havent got a clue how to update them, after so they start moving back, and reacting on rollover and rollout, when the next button is clicked.
