FLASH: Video games

[Dunn, Jeff]

I have been working on a video game, trying to use a variable to control my

character and my background.  When the button to move the character to the

left is pressed, in addition to the tell target action (which sets the

keyframes of the character), a variable (direct) is set to boolean False.

The same variable is set to True when the right button is hit.  I use this

variable and an if/else statement to try to control which way the character

is facing when you hit the stop button.  But, I'm doing something wrong

because he is always facing left when he stops.  This is my first attempt to

use variables in Flash and I've probably got the syntax wrong or something.


Also, once I work this out, I want to use an equation to make the background

respond to the same variable by continually increasing or decreasing the

x_position of the background elements.  Can I do this?  Can I do this and

nest moving enemies in the background movie?


I have included a link below to the fla.
