wacha think?

ooooh

thats pretty cool, keep workin on it, how do u make that stuff anyways? i wanna make a drag racing one hehehehehehehe.

i used flash action scripting, if you have flash5 or mx heres how you make a moving car...

first draw something or use a jpeg like i did then convert it to symbol then select movieclip. then go to expert action scripting and type this...

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
// right
if (Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)) {
_rotation = _rotation+move;
}
// left
if (Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)) {
_rotation = _rotation-move;
}
// up
if (Key.isDown(Key.UP)) {
if (move<8) {
move++;
}
} else if (move>0) {
move--;
}
// down
if (Key.isDown(Key.DOWN)) {
if (move>-10) {
move--;
}
} else if (move<0) {
move++;
}
// enter
if (Key.isDown(Key.ENTER)) {
_x = 200;
_y = 200;
_rotation = 0;
move = 0;
}
// _x & _y position
if (_rotation>180) {
_y = _y+(move*Math.cos(Math.PI/180*_rotation));
_x = _x-(move*Math.sin(Math.PI/180*_rotation));
}
if (_rotation<180) {
_y = _y-(move*Math.cos(Math.PI/180*_rotation));
_x = _x+(move*Math.sin(Math.PI/180*_rotation));
}
}

and there you go, drivable car =D

Oh yea, now it all makes sense, was wondering what I was doing wrong.

hehe... I used to use flash... back in the 4.0 days... you can do a lot more with java, but I do understand that Flash is much easier to use than Java... seeing as you literally draw everything and do little coding...

altho I love how you can integrate Flash and ASP and the ActionScript resembles closely the syntax used in other M$ .NET languages...

Oh.. and Metal... just do a search on Google or something on Flash 5.0 Tutorials or something and you can learn anything and everything pretty quickly and easily... I, presonaly, was never real big on the ActionScripting 'cuz i mostly made movies and web-sites without any real interaction than "click here go there" lol... otherwise i'd give ya a hand... but if you ever look into C++ or JAVA or anything of the sort i got knowledge in them areas... LOL

I guess I'll have to upgrade from Flash .8, I like using the Mocha Java, keeps me going while I'm configuring the z drive and swapping out the flux capacitor.

LOL
