Re: Isometry and Moving Separate MovieClips as a Group

[insultcomidog]

I have an isometric scene in which I want move several separate movieclips as a group to form a custom cursor.

The movieclips have to be separate in order to maintain proper depth sorting.

My movieclips are stored in an array. If I only have one mc in my array, I can set the x,y no problem. But if I have multiple mcs in my array, the x,y positions all collapse to the mouseX, mouseY.

I need to figure out how to maintain the separate mcs original x,y to each other but move them as a group in the stage space.


Anyone have an idea on how to solve this problem?

You could put them into a container sprite and then move that container sprite how you want. They'd all stay in the same place relative to each other.

Either that or set an offset position for each mc and make sure this gets added to the origin so that they don't collapse to the mouse centre.
