Two Things

[InsaneMonk]

Well, I actually have two things. First, I have an easy method for a jumping system in a flash game. It's a bit glitchy, but here it is:


onClipEvent(load) {
var fallness = 10; }
onClipEvent(enterFrame){
if (!this.hitTest(_root.ground) && !Key.isDown(Key.UP)) {
this._y += fallness;
}
if (Key.isDown(Key.UP)) {
gravity -= 1;
this._y -= gravity;
}
if (this.hitTest(_root.ground)) {
gravity = 10;
}
}
onClipEvent (keyUp) {
gravity = 10;
}

ok so there you can apply your own crap to it. And I have another thing to ask: how would you go by using a switch statement. ive been having trouble with them along with for.. in loops

I'm not sure what your first question is, but you can find some information about the second here: http://www.kirupa.com/developer/actionscript/as_tricks.htm

Same here with the first question but with the second you could use something like:

myVar = Key.getCode();

Then use myVar in a switch statement:


switch(myVar) {
case (37):
do some stuff;
break;
case (39):
do some other stuff;
break;
default:
do some default stuff;
break;
}


You can look up the numbers in the Flash reference for the key codes. Also check out Best of Senocular for excellent explanation of switch/case by clicking

Thanx everyone! :} That helped alot. The first **question** was not actually a question. It was just open source. But I could turn it into a question. How could I make it less glitchy? The glitch is: when you jump, if you press UP again while you're in mid-air, you'll just jump agian. I tried creating a variable to have a ceratain value when you are jumping and when you are not. Then I made the if statement check if "jumping" was "true" but that just made more errors. Couold someone help me out?
