The code below will let you pick up and drop those stick figures.



my_MC.onPress = function ():Void
{
this.startDrag();
};

my_Mc.onRelease = my_MC.onReleaseOutside = function ():Void
{
this.stopDrag();
};

The code below will let you pick up and drop those stick figures.

That code you posted will let the user drag the stick figure around but certainly isn't enough to "drop" them as well. You'll need gravity and all that for the figures to actually "drop".

OP: Search for "gravity" in these forums to add to the above code so the figures will actually drop when you let go of the mouse button. For the different reactions of the figured depending on how far they are dropped you will need to know the distance from the "ground" which is fairly simple to figure out. Searching for "distance" or "calculate distance" will get you the info you need for that.

i got the gravity sorted but wen i click on them and lift them up and then let go of them they still follow the mouse any help?

[evildrummer]

post what you have so we can work out why your gravity or dopping function isnt working.

Optimize. There really isn't a need for a game like that to be that large, even if you do have sounds. At bar minimum post the code for your grav function and the code for the character.

LittleFenris: I know that code didn't include gravity, I was just pushing him in the right direction, not writing the whole app for him.

[mongoose9990]

ok the gravity kode is :

onClipEvent (load) {

gravity = 2
};

floor = 145;



bounce = 0.0 ;


speedx = 0 ;
speedy = 0 ;
}

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {


speedy = speedy + gravity ;


this._x += speedx/5 ;
this._y += speedy/5 ;

if (this._y > floor) {
this._y = floor ;
speedy *= -bounce ;
}
}
;
and the grab kode is :

my_MC.onPress = function ():Void
{
this.startDrag();
};

my_Mc.onRelease = my_MC.onReleaseOutside = function ():Void
{
this.stopDrag();
};

I'm amazed you don't get an error with that. I'd say remove it, and test.

[mongoose9990]

lol remove what?

Sorry, was afraid that might happen. The bolded part :).

I was saying that in case they were new to AS'ing and didn't realize the gravity would be extra code.

[evildrummer]

Well where are the seperate parts of code placed, on the enemy MC or on the timeline or what?
