ActionScript 3.0 :: Move A Movie Clip Using The Arrow Keys?

Nov 3, 2009

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??

ActionScript 3.0 :: Movie Clip Will Not Loop When Arrow Keys Are Held Down

Oct 13, 2008

I have a movie clip of a character who is supposed to walk when the arrow keys are held down. The character does move in response to the keys being held down, but the walk cycle in the movie clip only plays once. (Flash file is attached.)

I used a Trace in the code to see what the issue is, and one thing that I noticed is that the function seems to run over and over. I'm wondering if that has something to do with it?

ActionScript 2.0 :: Move An Object Around With The Arrow Keys

Jun 24, 2010

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.

Professional :: Can't Move An Object With Arrow Keys - CS3?

Oct 18, 2011

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.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Arrow Buttons To Move Through Movie Clip On Mouseover?

May 5, 2010

I've got arrow buttons and a movie clip on my stage. I have an event listener for each arrow button for a MOUSE_OVER event that calls a handler function in my movie clip. The handler functions just call prevFrame(); or nextFrame(); What I want to happen is that the movie clip continues to play forward or backward as long as the mouse is over the appropriate arrow button.

Stage Code:

leftArrow.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, imgBar.goLeft);
rightArrow.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, imgBar.goRight);

Movie Clip Code:

function goRight(event:MouseEvent):void{
this.nextFrame();
}

[code]....

I'm not sure if MOUSE_OVER is the correct way to do this if I want the function to continue as the mouse even only happens once.

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.

how do you move an object around with the arrow keys.

But there's a catch.

I need my object to flip horizontal when pressing right when it is facing left ( and vice versa). And I need it to flip vertical when it is facing facing upwards and the down arrow is pressed (and vice versa).
