Redraw Help

[NeilT31 webforumsuser@macromedia.com]

Hi,

I'm pretty new to this and I have to make a uni project. I have a repeat while loop, which works correctly but I want the screen to redraw so the item moves accross the screen in a series of jumps instaed of one big jump? Animating accross the screen gradually would be better but I understand that this maybe very difficult.

Many Thanks

NeilT

No - it is not hard. You have to create a behavior and attach it to the sprite you want to move. The actual movement will only occur in the on exitframe handler.

Something like this. Check the syntax... this is just off the top of my head, not tested, etc...:

--------------
property moving, my

on beginsprite me
my=sprite(the spritenum of me)
moving=true
end

on exitframe
if moving=true then
my.locH=my.locH+1
my.locV=my.locV+2
end if
end

on mouseup
if moving=false then
moving=true
else
moving=false
end if
end
