That's the one! :D
Thank you. ^^

So there's this movie I saw a long time ago, and I was hoping some of you know what movie it is.
What I can remember from it;
It's a bit like Napoleon Dynamite, the main character wants to be the next Evel Knievel.
In the beginning of the film, you see the main character riding around on his shitty scooter.
Later, he's dancing in some forest but then he trips and falls... For quite some time.
He and some friends try to earn money by making a Jackass-like movie and showing it on the local cinema.
The homemade movie was a success and they earn enough money for the main character to set up a show, where he's jumping some distance on his shiny, new motorized vehicle, and fails.

What should a constructor function contain?

Examples would be nice.

Oh, I get it now!

function KeyHandling(e:Event):void {

needs to be replaced with

function KeyHandling(e:KeyboardEvent):void {

Why won't

import flash.events.KeyboardEvent;
addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, KeyHandling);
function KeyHandling(e:Event) {
	switch (e.keyCode) {
		case Keyboard.LEFT :
			trace("LEFT");
			break;
		case Keyboard.RIGHT :
			trace("RIGHT");
			break;
	}
}

work?

When I test the code, I get error #1119, "Access of possibly undefined property keyCode through a reference with static type flash.events:Event. Source switch (e.keyCode) {"

"Convert"

to AS3.

How would I go about making an onLoad event in AS3?

Unless it's AS3.

Uhm.. Ya, when counting lines, it might not seem as much.

But replacing

on(press){
   doThis();
   doThat();
}

with

*_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CL ICK,buttonClick,false,0,true);
function buttonClick(e:Event):void {
   doThis();
   doThat
}

seems quite unnessecary.

I've been working on the same darn thing for three days now;
Moving a movieclip using the arrowkeys.
Making the same movieclip unable to travel through walls dynamically positioned.

I guess I'm just too used to AS2.

Why would I want that? I find coding a lot easier when the code for a certain object is on the object itself. =/

Trust me youll learn to love AS3

Oh, I'm not too sure about that.

Holy crap, that's a lot of code for something that could easily have been dealt with by using a simple on(press){}....

From what I've heard, AS3 is more organized, easier to understand, and gives the programmer a lot more options.

However, I don't understand shit when it comes to AS3, so I was hoping someone could tell me about using eventhandlers, hittests, and other basic stuff in AS3. :3

I see what you did wrong.

Playing an animation using gotoAndPlay(); won't work in an EnterFrame handler, because that tells the movieclip to go to and play a certain frame [fpsrate] times per second. :3

Use gotoAndStop(); instead. ;)

I'd suggest you organize it better at first, then we'll see.

I could've helped you out if you had Msn.

On the main timeline's first (and only) frame;

var stupidNumber:Number = 50;

The the 'variable' property for the textbox was "_root.stupidNumber".

On the stage, I've got a textbox, connected to a number variable which is set to 50.
When I test the movie, the textbox says that the variable it's hooked up with is not a number.

Any takers?

In Flash, most things as far as I know rotates around the registration point.
So I guess if you were to reposition the graphics within a movieclip during runtime it would then rotate around a new point?

I can think of one way... By changing the graphics in the movieclip.

To input inverse Kinematics enfesis on the K would also require trigonometric knowledge. To put them together you would need to be a pretty advanced programmer to do that sorta stuff. I have tried a number of times but i just cant get my head around it.

I can do inverse kinematics and of course gravitation, unfortunately not at the same time on the same objects.

I know quite a lot about programming, but I'm just not at all good at thinking out new methods for using mathematics for my own purposes.

whats stopping you from learning trig outside of school?

What's stopping me is that I can't find any tutorial-ish that explains what the numbers I get from sine, cosine etc. do and mean. And most important, how to use them to get the results I want.
Not even Wikipedia did any good.

If I only had trigonometry in school, I think I would'nt have asked, but since I go to a agricultural school, "we won't be needing trigonometry and all that fancy advanced stuff", and all the math we are learning is various ways to use basic math.

Also, I meant the 'bone' and 'bind' tools in CS4 earlier.

onClipEvent (enterframe) {

Now, put the same code on segment 3, but change where it says "segment1" to "segment2."
Also, make sure segment 1 is actually MOVING, or else you won't notice any change...
The number 10 can be changed. The greater the number, the longer it takes to get the segment closer to the previous.

I'm not as stupid as to not think of that method, but by using the code you posted, each link will follow the link before it, but it will not change angle depending on next and previous links.

If I were to use kinematics, how can I control it?

Yeah, I'm a noob at AS3.
