Move sprite along path with arrow keys???

[I aint got a clue webforumsuser@macromedia.com]

Hi.

I have an idea for a project, but have no idea how to create it in director. I want to move a sprite along a path, by using the up down left right arrow keys.
The point of this being the sprite will be a car, driving along a road map. But i dont want the user to be able to drive it anywhere, it must stick to the roads on the map.

If someone has done this, knows how to do it, or can guide me to a tutorial or sample movie, it would be much appreciated.

Thankyou
Rich

if you want to move a sprite along a path then one way to do this would be to link it to a vector curve

this example shows how to link an object to a curve

this example is a behavior to link a sprites movement to a vector shape in your cast.


the second is probably the best. but they don't link the movement to keys - I'm afraid you'll have to adapt that one.
