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
