moving sprites

[Das mOOSe]

hello i has a question regarding video game sprites
how to u get the animated ones i.e sonic/mario running to run in a direction without moving each individual frame of them

[uzerfrendly]

the sprites are already animated for you in most instances. go here for some downloads.

then what you do is put the walking right sprite in a mc as frame 1, left in another, and stopped in another. with a stop(); command in each frame. then make your arrow keys move that mc and also goto each frame to make the direction correct, for example:

code:

---

 

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {

if (Key.isDown(Key.UP)) {

this._y -= 7;

this.gotoAndPlay(applicableframe);

}

}

---

that should get you started
