basic panning

[Rowan Ferguson]

I'm trying to get a sprite to move horizontally when I hold down the cursor
key. Except it won't keep panning while I hold the key down. I don't know
how to add a "repeat while the keydown" in here?

I've got:

on exitframe
--right arrow
if keyPressed(124) then
set the locH of sprite 25 = the locH of sprite 5 + 8
end if
go the frame
end

You had the wrong sprite number (you had 5 instead of 25):

set the locH of sprite 25 = the locH of sprite 25 + 8
^^

I hope that helps.

Thanks,
Jerry

Thanks Jerry,

I've never learned to count past 10.
