Project 4 Assigned


First Up , Show n' Tell (yes for real)



More Action Script

Controlling a Symbol (Movie Clip = MC)

* first you need to give your MC an 'instance name' or you can control a SWF you call up with loadMovieNum by its 'level'

* the top left corner of the stage is at x=0, y=o

* x measures the right to left position of the MC

* y measures the top to bottom position of the MC


new script
_x = controls the position of the X coordinate of the MC on the stage
_y = controls the position of the Y coordinate of the MC on the stage

ex.
_level99._x = 50;
_level99._y = -24;


_xscale = size of the X axis in comparison to the original MC
_yscale = size of the Y axis in comparison to the original MC

ex.
fighterA._xscale = 60;
fighterA._yscale = 60;


_alpha = changes the opacity of the MC

ex.
balloon._alpha = 30;



Lets look at some Examples:
- The Ameba
- Font Wars
