Simple Sound Question...

[MidnightEscapeArtist]

I have a basic side scrolling ship game going (just for programming practice, don't worry, you'll never see this crap in the portal) and I have attached a thrusting sound to the right key.

The problem is the condition for the if statement is simply (Key.isDown (Key.RIGHT)), and that is constantly true...

You probably know what happens. The sound just plays over itself at whatever speed one's computer can check conditions I suppose.

I want to add another clause in the conditions. Something along the lines of:

if (Key.isDown (Key.RIGHT)) , sound.thrust = false)

Of course that doesn't have a hope of working, but you see how I'm trying to work around it with logic...

In actionscript I want the code equivalent to:
"If the right key is down AND the sound "thrust" is not playing, then play sound "thrust" "

Any help is much appreciated, and I'm sure it's fairly simple...

Am I right to assume that you're creating this in flash? If so, you may have better luck asking in the flash forum.

ActionScript related questions belong in the flash forum.

Well, might as well answer is question...try this...

onClipEvent(load){
if (Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT) && sound=false)
// actions
}

something like that....

Thanks for the answer :) I'll give it a try in a sec.

I just figured AS fit under programming. I'll be sure to post further AS qestions in the flash forums.

You shouldn't figure, you should read.
