Moving As That's Not In As Main

[TacoFreak]

I need some As that to move someone you have to press: left,right,left,right,left,right,
where you have to press alterevly (is that what it's called?).

Anyone!

Try something like this:

onClipEvent (load) {
left = true;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (left) {
if (Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)) {
_x += 5;
left = false;
}
} else {
if (Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)) {
_x += 5;
left = true;
}
}
}

Ok but i need it to look like its moving, like a legs moving too.

That's a simple matter of using gotoAndPlay's within the code given. Does that make sense?

In that case, i think you should learn actionscript before you attempt to make a game. Get a book on actionscript or find some tutorials for beginners. Start really basic and work your way up. You can't attempt to learn AS by making a game. It doesn't work that way.

For example

onClipEvent(enterFrame){
if(Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)){
_root.MC.gotoAndPlay(2);
}
}

I bet that doesn't make any sense either, but gotoAndPlay(2); is the frame it will play. _root.MC is the movie clip's instance it will play. If you don't know this either, then I suggest you go read tutorials.

I understand! But I must ask, what does this "root" mean that you speak of?

root reffers to the main timeline. As the mc is on the main timeline, you can reffer to it as _root.mc. If you wanted to reffer to an mc which is inside that one, you'd reffer to it as _root.mc1.mc2

Out of curiousity, what would happen if both keys were pressed down, would it not do anything or would it just move along smoothly?
