It is because you made an as3 document and you have to code in the timeline or .as files. You need to go new->as2 document. Or a better option is learn as3.

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

cheers mate

[DragonSnare]

you are under AS3 I'm guessing you are used to AS2/1, AS3 doesn't allow AS to be added inside of objects you have to use classes for that. change the actionscript setting to AS2

File>Publish settings>Flash>ActionScript drop down box.

If you're trying to add actions directly to Movie Clips or Buttons - you can't do it that way in AS3. You have to create class files instead.

what's wrong with this actionscript?

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
// right
if (Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)) {
_rotation = _rotation+move;
}
// left
if (Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)) {
_rotation = _rotation-move;
}
// up
if (Key.isDown(Key.UP)) {
if (move<8) {
move++;
}
} else if (move>0) {
move--;
}
// down
if (Key.isDown(Key.DOWN)) {
if (move>-10) {
move--;
}
} else if (move<0) {
move++;
}
// enter
if (Key.isDown(Key.ENTER)) {
_x = 200;
_y = 200;
_rotation = 0;
move = 0;
}
// _x & _y position
if (_rotation>180) {
_y = _y+(move*Math.cos(Math.PI/180*_rotation)
);
_x = _x-(move*Math.sin(Math.PI/180*_rotation)
);
}
if (_rotation<180) {
_y = _y-(move*Math.cos(Math.PI/180*_rotation)
);
_x = _x+(move*Math.sin(Math.PI/180*_rotation)
);
}

Are you getting errors? or is it just not working as expected? a bit more information is needed.

Well...

- You didn't use code tags
- You are coding on a MovieClip
- You are coding in AS2

- You didn't explain what it is supposed to do
- You didn't explain what is happening instead
- You didn't post any relevant error messages

Please, post more information.

Did you try...terminating the statement block by adding "}"? As in, put '}' at the end of the code.

Also, you blatantly state that you copied the code, and that you have no idea how it works...

You won't learn anything like this. It's a really counter-productive way of practicing Actionscript.

[mdpreado]

there is one

Another one maybe?

I copied and pasted your code into FlashDevelop, and the snippet you posted is missing a curly bracket at the end. The clipEvent is never closed this way.

[mdpreado]

thats not a snippit?

Yes, yes it is. Do you even know what that means?

This is completely irrelevant. Your problem is that you're missing a curly bracket at the end. That's it.

mayb im stupid

yes you are, that one closes the if statement's block.

indent your code!

*Facepalm*

I have no idea what you've written on that picture. But please, for the love of Joe. Just add. Another. Curly. Bracket.

There is a missing curly bracket. Add it. It's after the one already there. You need to add another one. Just put a curly bracket at the end. To close the clipEvent statement. Just add one more curly bracket at the end, after the one that's already there.

It's not that hard really...

In AS3 object can't have code placed on them. trust me... it's better that way.
