How To Move A Movieclip With The Arrow Keys
Hey! This is somthing simple…But here it is:
Step 1 ~ Make an MC (MovieClip) and call it “player”.
Step 2 ~ Copy and paste this code to it:
_______________________________________________________________
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
//This is to see if the key “RIGHT” is being pressed.
if (Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)) {
//This is saying how much it will move and what direction it will move in.
this._x += 5;
}
//Seeing if the key “LEFT” is being pressed.
if (Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)) {
//This is saying what speed and what direction it is moving in.
this._x -= 5;
}
//Seeing if the key “UP” is being pressed…I am getting tired of this.
if (Key.isDown(Key.UP)) {
//Saying what direction it will move in and how many pixels.
this._y -= 5;
}
//Same thing! :D
if (Key.isDown(Key.DOWN)) {
//you can play around with the _y and += to see what direction
//you can make it move
this._y += 5;
}
}
