and when he passes the screen limit go to another scene?!
How?!

(Sorry my english is very bad)

Thanks!

Sure u can use on (keyPress " ")

[jimburton]

rather than the button's keypress handler, the movieclip events that relate to keys are more suitable for some things like character movement cos you can have more than one at a time (ie if <LEFT> and <UP> are pressed at same time curve upwards) and there is more choice: was the key pressed down or released, is it still pressed, what key was it etc etc ! Search the forum for specific code on keypress.

Then check the characters _x and _y pos to see if it's passed off the edge of the screen and go to the next "page".

the movieclip events...that's the way to go for moving ... and to make it easier than _x and _y properties, use hittest against other mc's, so your charater(movieclip) can triger several actions deppending on the hitted movieclip (each ovieclip must have their own actions).



:cool:

btw...search in... movies/games, somebody posted a fla that makes the character movements

[jimburton]

dead right zoomfreddy except if you're using a lot of repetitive hitTests in, say, a platform game this will slow things WAY down. So If there's a way round it, avoid hitTest.

Often that's easier said than done and it's a hell of a shame hitTest is so costly.
