ActionScript 3.0 :: Making Beat Em Up - Character Stop Moving If The Attack Is Pressed And Once It Is Released Start Moving Again?
Nov 2, 2010
im currently making an "AS3 beat em up" ala streets of rage or double dragon.Currently i have my character moving and a few animations done and i am trying to figure out how to make attacks work.I have some "basic" animation for his attack, but im not sure how to get it to work correctley.What happens is, if you press control (the attack button) whilst the character is walking he just keeps moving and is stopped on the attack frame.I want the character to stop moving if the attack is pressed and once it is released start moving again.
hero.gotoAndStop('still');
var left:Boolean = false;
var right:Boolean = false;[code].......

I want to stop the movieclips movement when it hits a wall (another movieclip). The example below works, but after the collision the movieclip 'blocks' all movement to the left...
For now the example with the leftArrow key;
variables to check the key, if it's hitting the walls and if it's moving or not:
var leftArrow:Boolean;
var speed:int = 10;
var hitting:Boolean;

So I'm new to Flash, and I've found most people make player controlled characters in Flash move through
[Code]...
Since these are ActionScript 2.0 source codes, I think ActionScript 3.0 won't let me use "Key" to identify a pressed key.

this is old and I used to know but forgotten over time. How do you scroll an image across to a certain point when a button is released?
Preferably with easing.

I am currently making a game, similar to StreetFighter,where enemies will come on from the side and you fight them. Now i have the character movement and attacks fully scripted, and have made an enemy, and i make it move towards the character using:
onClipEvent(load){
movethy = 7;
scale = _xscale;[code].....
Now this works quite well and the enemy stops when it hits the character, but the problem is, it wont complete a full attack, instead it plays a few frames of the attack MC. Now i have every attack in a different MC (Frames 2-5) inside the Enemy MC. How can i make the enemy pause when it reaches the character, then choose an attack to use? From there i'll be on my way and can script the hittest and so forth.

I would like my character to move as if he was drunk I am unsure how to do that I am using the keyboard for his movement. I also have a character that moves at random I would like the drunk moving character to be able to catch this character and play a scene from within the drunk characters movie clip but I want this character to try and escape the idea is the drunk character gets points for how long he is able to hang on to this character

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; }

At the first scene of the game My hero character stands still when he's idle but at the second scene he keeps walking in one spot when he's idle. What's going on? Why are the scenes messing with the hero character?

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;
} onClipEvent(enterFrame) {

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.

I've been struggling with making boundaries with my game. I've managed to make boundaries, but in stead of my game character not moving across that border it just bounces back. Which is not the effect I want.
Here's my code
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)) {
xspeed -= power;
} if (Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)) {
xspeed += power;

I am currently working on a platformer using accelerometer to move the character and xml to load levels as so..
[as]
level.x += (e.accelerationX*40);
if (e.accelerationX > 5) {
e.accelerationX = 5;
} if (e.accelerationX * 40 < 3 && e.accelerationX * 40 > -3) {
player.gotoAndStop(1);
[Code] .....
And it is all added into one movieclip called level. My problem is when the character hits under a platform it will go up it which I don't want it too, I don't know how to fix it heres the gravity code.

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 have this script, that zooms and fades the movieclip but I also need to shift the position slightly from the start state to the end state. For example var startX = 60 var endX = 70 so when the zoom start it starts at x = 60 and slowly moves as it zooms out to x = 70.

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?
