havent seen this asked anywhere, so here goes.

heres the kicker tho im limited to using only as2.

if anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated.

that explains it

btw, Key.getASCII() returns a number not a string (97 is "a", 115 is "s").

i thought that it was
A =65
s = 83

trying to recreate to classic tapping action you use to get in 90s games such as daily thompson decahalon.

the old tap a and s repeatedly for speed

would anyone be able to tell me the best way to do this

thanks

for(i=(numberof items);i>=0;i++){
movieclip[i].swapDepts(movieclip[i].y)
}

on the enter frame function

thats the ticket
ill give that a go

thanks

this.swapDepths(this._y)

thats fine normally but its difficult to impliment it with the the duplicatemovieclip function.

Tearing my hair out over this.

trying to duplicate a movieclip though the main timeline but i want the duplicated movieclips depth to be be effected by it _y position.

if anyone can help me with this id be very thankful, and if i havent explained it well dont hesitate to point that out.

thanks everyone its sorted out now

flash is having an issue with a unexpected &&

Ill be the first to admit im not good with as but if someone could tell me why this isnt working youll be setting me on my way to become a better person.

if ((Key.isDown(16) && !Key.isDown(87) && Key.isDown(65) && !Key.isDown(68)) && (_root.runtest._currentframe == "2")){
_x -= _root.speed + 1;
_root.shake.play();
}

it all works until i try and get the currentframe involved.

And with that it comes together.
That sounded sarcastic, which was in no way my intention.
really it wasnt.

im caught in a loop.

Thanks

Is there a way to get flash to remember a movieclips current angle.

Basically

i want the movieclip to rotate to a certain amount while a key is held down and when its released for the movieclip to return (slowly) to its original angle.

Best way to imagine it would be a steering wheel.

k Will do

thanks for the step in the right direction

got ahead of myself there thats not working.

it sends it to the frame regardless of if you moved or not

Thanks alot been tearing my hair out

Need some help on a game,

trying to make the game as Dependant on the mouse as possible, But have ran into a snag.

I Need to have something happen when the user holds down there mouse button moves it and releases, Now the direction they move the mouse doesnt matter at all, And the action will only be sending a movieclip to a certain frame.

Thanks

if(hours < 12) {
// do stuff
}
if(hours > 12) {
// do stuff
}

Stuff like that?

everyone likes thing that do stuff

thanks

var date = new Date();

With this object, you can call...

date.getHours();

... to return the current hour.

got that bit sorted its the whole how to effect the movieclip with the results

Having a lot of trouble here

i need a movieclip to go to a certain frame depending on the local time.

just need it to go to a certain frame depending on the hour.

at the moment got a ramshackle arrangement with a analog clock and some hittests.

dont the clock crew have a lot of pre drawn images that people can use.

look into that.

At the end of the day you need an idea.

if its something you feel dedicated too, you can work anything out.

without an idea its pointless touching a mouse.

Add it to the player MC

slight misunderstanding the MC is player controlled its set to move randomly

(amagine it as a pacman ghost, but one that changes depending on its direction)

thanks tho

Just a quick question

got a moviclip set to move randomly around the screen.

i require it to change depending on which direction it is traveling.

its a simple up,down,left,right (a + Start) movement.
