Flash Tutorial - Mrkrabz - 27.10.2010

Well i have had request's to make a flash tutorial because of my past games i have made (Maze, Zombie. etc.)

Well here it is, the main tutorial was on Underground-gfx.info

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is just a quick picture tutorial, which can make an object move with arrow keys :3

First start a new flash document (File > New) if you are using adobe CS5 then it may ask for which script. make sure you choose ActionScript 2.0

Right click on our first frame and select Actions

Type stop(); into the action coding area. This stop the frame looping and carrying onto the next frame. Now close the window.

Now, draw a basic square/Circle or w/e you want to move onto our frame.

After we have done that, select the object we just drew, by holding your mouse down and selecting a box around it (Make sure you don't just click it.)

After right click > Convert to Symbol

Call it Person and make sure it's a movieclip

Press Ok. Now we want to right click our newly made square/object and select actions.

In our action window type:

Код:

onClipEvent(enterFrame){
	
}

This is required on all objects etc. I will mention later on what this does. It should now look like this:

Inside the onClipEvent you want to type:

Код:

	if(Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)){
		this._x -= 3;
	}
	if(Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)){
		this._x += 3;
	}
	if(Key.isDown(Key.UP)){
		this._y -= 3;
	}
	if(Key.isDown(Key.DOWN)){
		this._y += 3;
	}

You may now be like BLAHSBW what is that?

I will now describe it line by line.

Код:

if(Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)){

Basically this is saying If the key is pressed down, which is key Left, so if Key left is pressed down then.. (Key left is left arrow key.)

Код:

this._x -= 3;

this. is our object (our person w/e)
_x is our x axis, Y is up and down. X is left and right.

So what we are doing here is taking 3 from X which makes him move 3 points left. you should now be able to guess what the rest means as it's the same as what i have just described but changed slightly.

Your code window should now look like this:

Now press CTRL + Enter to run your animation and try pressing your left right up and down arrow keys.

A new tutorial will be coming soon. check the forums.

Basic, but shows basic functionality of Flash Pro CS5. Nice work.

Re: Flash Tutorial - Mrkrabz - 27.10.2010

I'm not sure if this work's in action script 3 as I have not done that yet, but I'm guessing.

If someone can confirm that would be nice

So far as i know there is no "Key.isDown" in Actionscript 3 anymore - and you have to do it with "AddEventListener"(Or how they are called :P)

- Ecko

Re: Flash Tutorial - Mrkrabz - 27.10.2010

I don't check my PM's i have like 50 unread PM's from 2 weeks ago. but ill have a quick check.

Re: Flash Tutorial - cessil - 28.10.2010

I'd put all my script on the main time line instead and giving the movieclips instance names, also it wouldn't work in AS 3.0.
