Moving Object
hi. I'm trying to have an object move to a certain position when clickig a button. I thought about doing it using a motion tween but that could be a problem since i might be moving different objects to different positions.
Is there a different way to do it?
is there function like for example _rotation (to rotate an object) that does it all in the same frame only that instead of rotate changes the position of the object?
If anyone could help I'd be really greatfull

Making An Object Dissapear Once A Moving Object Makes Contact With It
Hello there,
Im in need of some help. Basically I need a code which will make an object disappear once another moving object hits it (MovieClips controlled by AS)
For example, a bullet comes out of the gun and hits a can which makes the can disappear as soon as the bullet hits it.
Is it something to do with the "intersects" function? I've been trying to solve it all day and cant do it
Please help.

Help: Moving An Object
Hey there.
Might be a simple thing to do, but I can't figure it out.
I have an object(movie clip). I would like to move this object to the postion I specify in the button and load a movie. If I click a different button I would like to reverse the animation and unload the movie first and than go to the next position I specify in the other button and so on. It might be simple to do but I'm not able to get a grip on it. Would anybody post me a .fla or some code. thank you very much.

Moving An Object
Hi, I was wondering if someone could help me out. I am trying to have an object move via the arrow keys, so I can create a game. Something like having a car which moves left when i hit the left arrow key, and continuously goes farther left each time you hit it. The coding which seems logical to me that I am trying is using a button (for the symbol) and the action:
on (keyPress "<Up>") {
setProperty ("", _y, -5);
this script causes it to go up, but only once, any more clicks on the up key do nothing. Can anyone help me?
Thanks

MC Moving An Object
how can i move a MC inside a movieclip with an action for the main movieclip like this:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
// if the mouse is over mc...
if (this.hitTest(_root._xmouse, _root._ymouse, true)) {
this.movieclipinside._y += 200;
} else {
this.movieclipinside._y -= 200
}
}
***BUT IT DID NOT WORK.. WHY? WHAT WAS WRONG... I WERE THINKING ON A TRICK TO DO IT... I DID NOT GET WHAT CODE WRITE
SOMEBODY KNOWS??
I ATTACHED THE FLA.. WHERE I USED 2 FRAMES WITH THE MC INSIDE AND IT MOVES IN ONE FRAME TO A CERTAIN POSITION AND IN THE NEXT FRAME IT MOVES BACK, THAT'S WHY I USED THIS CODE:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
// if the mouse is over mc...
if (this.hitTest(_root._xmouse, _root._ymouse, true)) {
this.gotoAndStop(2);
} else {
this.gotoAndStop(3);

I got a script earler for when you click on an object you place this script on you can move it anywhere on you page. It works fine on everything but the cart. I placed it on the actions for cart and the background moves but the buttons and text do not? What am I doing wrong.

What would the actionscript of a script be for something like this. I want an object to move and continue to move after the arrow keys have been hit.
So you you press UP it will move up even after you let go of the key.

Moving An Object
hi
im making a movie where i have a clip with an animation of little cartoon character walking. He sits there marching on the spot. All this is taking place inside a masked filmclip. Can someone please help me understand how to script the little guy so he goes marching from where I put him, clear across the stage, and then jump to a new frame within his timeline when he exits the masked area (itll be an empty frame)?
i notice that it really grinds on the cpu when there are heavily animated movieclips playing offstage, outside a masked area (especially ones that contain masks themselves).
Hope that made sense?
I would really appreciate your help, thanks in advance

ps. wouldn that be an onClipEvent(EnterFrame) type thingy?

ok, total noob question...
if this were director, i'd say something like:

Moving Object (please Read)
Hi,
can someone help with making a script that move an object to x,y (example x=200,y=50) when you release on a button.
To explain what I mean please look at

When you release on a button the object moves to a (x,y)-point. Every button has it's own (x,y)-point.
thanxs for your help!!!

Help On Simple Moving Object
Yep. it's simple. all i want to do is moving obejct. the problem is that i want to make that object to float up and down. can you imagine it?...like floating...so it's moving in such a manner that it swings. i tried to do it by using the motion tweening, but it seems really fake and doesn't look swinging. i tried increasing the frame rate, but it didn't do any good as my pc can't preview such a high frame rate correctly. then i stumbled accross actionscript.(i'm not expert in flash yet). the quyestion is, how do i accomplish what i want to do?...like making that object floating on the air. do i use actionscript or some simple motion tweening will solve it?

Moving An Object Through Actionscript...
Hi!
I have a movie clip of a character. He is basically static, with the exception of his left arm....it waves back & forth.
I need to use actionscript to speed up the various instances I've placed of this character on the stage. -- so that all of these guys aren't waving at the same time. I would like to simply adjust the speed number of the script on each MC instance to my liking.
This seems like the sort of script that I should use but how do I just add it to the moving arm?? Would the script be added to one of the frames inside the MC or the graphic? I have no clue.
Example of script for motion:
speed = 2;
mc01.onEnterFrame = function ()
{
this._+= speed;
if (this._x < 800)
this._x += speed;
else
this._x = 0;
}
Please help! Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Slow Moving Object(s).
Hey everyone,
I'm a pompous moron when it comes to flash. Though, when it comes to graphic design, I know what I'm doing. So, I get frustrated and as we all know Flash is a very frustrating program when you're trying to learn how to use it. So, since this is a forum where no question is stupid my first question is: Is there anyone out there willing to help out a complete and total newbie? With learning actionscript and what-not. I'm a very fast learner; it's just now I'm in college and I don't have the time to read over dozens of scripts, and learn how to do this all on my own. I need a tutor.. There is no pay. lol,
Secondly, I see sites, and they have objects that move in quickly, and then they slow down when they get to their appointed destination. How is this done, I know by some sort of witch craft you all call "action script." So, if someone could point me in the right direction it'd be mostly appreciated.
Finally, I have one last question. Is there an easier way to change for lack of better words “pages” instead of making a separate animation for each page? I know you’re probably saying WTHeck? But remember that old saying, “There are four men, how many hands would have had to shaken before everyone is acquainted with each other?” The answer being 12, each man has to shake three other people’s hands before everyone is acquainted. Is there an easier way to make each page flow flawlessly to another page, with out having to create a new animation for each sub-category and category? You know, I’ve confused myself; so, if someone understands that then good for you. Lol, okay that’s it for tonight before my brain starts to leak out from my ear.

Inertia When Moving An Object
Hi:
I'm trying to add inertia to the movement of a movie clip, but can't figure out how; i'm using the traditional
code: onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)) {
this._x+=10;
}
and such. What do i need to do to keep the character moving on the direction it was heading, even when the left arrow is pressed, and until it has lost its momentum? (in short words: inertia).
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Now I am trying to get the object (Cow) to move to that specific coordination. Here is the code I am currently using, which generates the random number fine, but does not move the Cow.
Code:
on (release) {
rolled_number = Number(random(6))+2;

HELP-When Paused, How Do I Keep An Object Moving?

Ive seen animations on newgrounds where an object (lets say hands swinging, while a stickman is walking) is moving, even when you pause the movie. Just wondering if any of you know how to do this, because it would make things alot easier so I dont have to change every frame, and so i can have something moving thru a frame with its hands moving at the same time, without changing each frames. thanks.

Moving & Stoping An Object
How can I move/slide-in a text field from off of the main stage to a specific position on the main stage?
I know how to move an object, I just do not know how to stop it once it gets to a specific location on the main stage.
For example, say I have a dynamic text field know as "txt1" and it is to the left of my main stage. Say my main stage is 500px in width and 50px in height. I would like to be able to move my dynamic text field from left to right, until it reaches say 490px of my main stage and then stop there.
What I know how to do is this:
Code:
onEnterFrame = function() {
txt1._x += 3;
}
So how can I stop the above code once it reaches a specific spot on my main stage?

Rotating A Moving Object
I have a bunch of movie clips on the stage that are postcards that you can throw around with a throwing script and sort through them with hitTestObject. I want to be able to have the pictures rotate as you move but I am having trouble with determining a way to track the mouse in relation to a moving object that will create a realistic rotation. Here's what I've got so far but it's not that great. if anyone has any ideas or can point me in the right direction I'd appreciate it.
here's a site with which accomplishes what I'm talking about:
website link
ActionScript Code:
function rotateObject(evt:Event):void {
dx=mouseX - this.x;
dy=mouseY - this.y;
//trace("dx..." + dx);
//trace("dy..." + dy);
radians=Math.atan2(dy, dx);
//trace("radians..." + radians);
this.rotation = radians * 180 / Math.PI;
//trace(this.rotation);
}

Moving Object With Keyboard
I have an object, lets just say it is a character in a game, I wish to have this object be controlled by they keyboard, so that left and right rotate it, and up and down move it forward and backwards.
I have left/right sorted, but I am having a lot of difficulty with the up/down keys.
ActionScript Code:
onClipEvent (keyDown) {
if (Key.isDown(Key.UP)) {
this._y = this._y+((5*Math.sin(this._rotation/(Math.PI/180))))/(Math.PI/180);
}
}
onClipEvent (keyDown) {
if (Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)) {
this._rotation = this._rotation-10;
}
}
onClipEvent (keyDown) {
if (Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)) {
this._rotation = this._rotation+10;
}
}
where
ActionScript Code:
this._y = this._y+((5*Math.sin(this._rotation/(Math.PI/180))))/(Math.PI/180);
is the code for moving the object in the Y direction when you press UP (I will be able to modify it for down etc.). It is pretty rubbishy at the moment as I have been trying all sorts of weird and wonderfull, but wrong, ways of doing it -_- - basically what I have attempted to do is have program work out (from the given angel [this._rotation] and how far I want it to move in total [5]) how much the object needs to move in the Y and X directions.
Thankyou in advance for any help

Sounds simple, have got mask to drag over image but without the 'magnifying glass' image to move with it, and have got magnifying glass to move with it but then mask moves around and only reveals same part of underlying image(like its dragging the under image too). is there a way of using _x and _y of magnifying glass to equal the mask's coordinates and get them to move together without having to be in the same movie clip

Moving An Object In The Stage
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. I have an object that is serving as a background for a flash website. The background object (a table) moves and rotates around when clicked, exposing different parts of the table on the stage when the user clicks.
Here is as close an example as I can find:
http://www.vermeersch.ca/
My problem is when i want to transition between two points on the table, the table has to rotate and move.. and by just using a motion tween between the two points results in the table rotating off the stage for a few frames (thus exposing the background and making it look really cheezy). I was trying my hand at using motion guides, but can't do it with any accuracy.
So, my question is: Is there a way to guide an object as it rotates and moves so that it doesn't move off screen? (there is plenty of room on the table if i can just guide its path through the 2 second transition). Thanks for any support.
