I'm brand new to flash and want to create a character with moving legs. I've created the character with legs, but don't know how to get them moving properly. Does anyone know a good tutorial?
View 2 RepliesI want to make a character move its legs when it walks but I don't know how to do this.
Not necessarily just move this character, but general movement in general.
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 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

n i want d character to stand still when not moving and get to an animated frame of it moving when moved in whichever direction. i guess dat's all i need for now. please help me with this as like i've said, i kinda new to actionscripting.
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?

My question is, how can i block the up and down movement? I tried simply deleting some part of the script to block does movement from the user. But then the script would not work properly : s Here is the uploaded page i'm working on: link.
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;

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 need to get my character to follow an moving object. I've got an object that's moving around in different directions and I'm wondering how do I get my character to follow the movements when standing on the object ?
View 0 RepliesI am trying to limit the area in which the character (mcMain) can move I want to be able to keep it in an area (mcBuilding) I also have another area (inwhich the character is not supposed to get to) (mcBackground). (Also I want to be able to to make a dynamic text box that starts at 100 then decreases by 5 when the enemy (mcEnemy) hits mcBuilding and also that it gets removed)
View 1 RepliesI 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) {

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.

Since these are ActionScript 2.0 source codes, I think ActionScript 3.0 won't let me use "Key" to identify a pressed key.
I need to create an animated character that can run across the screen. The page(s) are HTML pages and are separate from the Flash file I want to create. The SWF would be used on a bunch of pages.
View 2 RepliesI'm creating a platform game, and I want the character to hit a button which would take them to the next level (keyframe).
I want it to work like a normal button, except for the character on the screen, on contact with the button to transport into the next keyframe, rather than the user having to click the object.
Also, is there anyway to do this while at the same time (while changing to the next keyframe) keeping the score, so it adds up with the next levels points?
Is it possible to create a flash character that can speak in real time?I want to create some characters that use the speech from my pc microphone (e.g. as I speak into my mic the character uses my voice to speak.

View 7 Repliestrying to create a character selection screen type thing works fine on my computer but when i load it to internet characters dont load up dont understand why? characters and profile images are external image files so i think that reason why its not working is because the swf is trying to display the image before its properly loaded up
im thinking perhaps if i add some sort of bytes total/bytes loaded script where its trying to load up and display the image it will check if the image is fully loaded before it tries to display the image.
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...
View 1 RepliesI have a scene where I want to zoom in on a character's face, and after a while zoom out slowly into the background. I tried to tween all of the layers together but it plays out awful...any way to do it with the stage itself?
View 7 RepliesThe character will then be moving along a circular path. (A motion guide)ow I need to set it so that it plays the animation of moving up-left when the character is moving in the up-left direction and load the coresponding animations depending on the direction the character is moving. How do I go about doing this?
View 3 RepliesI've completed my first character in Flash. Happy with it's performance. Got eyes blinking, mouth syncing, and hands gesturing. But the character doesn't fill the screen the way I want. I need this to be a close-up shot of the character.When I go to enlarge the character it screws everything up because the head and body are keyed separately.Shouldn't there be a simple way to just group and scale the whole character without messing up the performance inside?
View 2 RepliesI'm just learning the software and haven't been able to figure this out. I'm trying to create an historic timeline for our company and am using 20 jpg images, which I placed on separate layers and then converted each jpg to a symbol and motion tweened to go across the screen. The problem is that there is a gap between the frames when they play as a movie and I don't know how to get rid of that so that they flow continuously across the screen from left to right seamlessly.
View 5 RepliesI'm making a post-apocalyptic series and I'm drawing all my backgrounds/characters in photoshop and importing them into flash. The problem I'm encountering is that the file size is WAAAAAAAAY too big whenever I import the character drawing straight from photoshop. Is there some trick to making characters look like they're drawn in photoshop or some trick to greatly lowering the file size? Three items on screen at once with no animation and my file size is over 1 meg.
