Re: FLASH: Action script to control an airplane

[Randy Kato]

Colleen,


For the left and right banking you can probably use script alone to set the

Rotation of the MC (use a loop so the tilt happens incrementally). As for the

nose up and down, maybe that's done with a tween, but you have a similar looping

script that incrementally runs you through the individual frames of that tween.

BTW, I think you'll want to nose down when the mouse is moved up, and vice versa

-- like a real airplane joystick.


The arrow keys can also be used, and they'll use the same looping scripts, but

the mouse action is going to be triggered by tracking the X & Y position of an

invisible dragged MC, and comparing those coords to some central reference

point.


Good luck!

Randy
