How do I make my guy stop flying?

[ImCannon]

Hello, I'm new to flash an I've been trying to do a game with a figure jumping and running and such... I've been able to get him to move with the arrow keys and jump with space. Now the problem is that I can't get him to stop flying up in the air as long as I press space. How do I make it possible for him only to reach a certain heigth from his starting location and then sink down to the "ground" again without letting go of space?

Could you please post the current ActionScript you are using. I think you might need to use some physics which I can help you with :D :D

[ImCannon]

Sure... Here it is:

Key.addListener(watchKeyBoard);
StageWidth = 600
StageHeight = 400
Ground = 300
function moveStuff() {

if (Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)) {
this._x -= 7;
}
if (Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)) {
this._x += 7;
}
if (Key.isDown(Key.SPACE)) {
this._y -= 30;
}
else (Key.isDown(Key.SPACE))
{ this._y += 15;
}
if (this._y>Ground) {
this._y = Ground;
}
if (this._y>Ground) {
this._y = Ground;
}
if (this._x>stagewidth+(this._width/2)) {
this._x = 0-(this._width/2);
}
if (this._x<0-(this._width/2)) {
this._x = stagewidth+(this._width/2);
}
}
gubbe_mc.onEnterFrame = moveStuff;[/CODE]

Ok. This (http://www.prospects-web.com/platform.php) tutorial will teach you physics. Its great and its realistic aswell :D :D

Hope it helps :D

[ImCannon]

thnx very much!

[ImCannon]

takes a very long time to load... :-(

[ImCannon]

hmm... Is there any other tutorial on this matter? Couse this one doesn't work for me for some reason...

[Lost ?]

You may need to rearrange the ActionScript for it a bit. Ill look for a tut thats more straight forward. Oh yeah are you running MX or MX2004 or 5?

[ImCannon]

Im running MX... is the 2004 version neccesary?

[Lost ?]

No I have MX...

[ImCannon]

hmmm... it's weird cause I can't seem to get it to work, and I don't mean with the actionscript... I mean with the whole tutorial, I can read like two pages of it and then it ends... Really weird.

Here, Ive built my own example in MX format. Its took me a few hours to do but it looks pretty cool :D :D

Hope you find it useful :D

[ImCannon]

great everything seems to work noe... Thanks for all your help!

[Lost ?]

No problem :D :D :D

Not bad physics Lost ?. I use the same ones myself. The problem is if you put multiple platforms, or if he falls from a really high spot, he just goes straight through the ground!! :confused:
I think he picks up 2 much velocity :confused: :confused:

Anyone know how to fix this?

[rippazinc]

set an if statement depending on the y (you know, like if y is 0 then...) shouldnt be too hard, i'll do it myself if u want
