Rotating moving platforms

[UnrealCanine]

Hi newgrounds

I've been making a platform game and one on the puzzles involves moving platforms (it's more like a zipline you have to swing off)

I can get the character to swing down the zipline, byut do you think it's possible to having a 'platform' follow a circular path?

BTW, I'm on AS2

If you want it to follow a set route, over and over again, why not use a movieclip?

Call me old fashioned...

Well it does have to carry the character

I assume you mean a horizontal platform moving around a central axis, ferris-wheel style, and if so I hope you paid attention when you learned trigonometry in school because that's all you need here. google the basics and study up -- there are also a few tutorials out there on how to use trig with Flash, for instance this one by Kirupa.

If you're storing all of your ground images/mcs in a movieclip, then just put this one in there as well.
