ok… here’s the situation: m tryin to make a man jump with this code. the man should keep jumping as long as i keep the spacebar pressed. but the problem is, for the first jump, the MC skips frame no. 2 to 6 and hence the jump is shortened.
the jmp MC contains animation for the actions while jumping. the actual up and down movement is generated in the code below. this code is written in the frame of the root movie. the root movie has several layers but is only one frame long.
below the code i have pasted the trace results. please please help me out. i’m stumped.
myListener.onKeyDown = function ()
{
if(Key.isDown(Key.SPACE))
{
trace("space "+jumping); //jumping is an int variable. indicates whether the man is already in air jumping(1) or not(0).
if(jumping==0)
{
trace(“jumping is 0”);
_root.sm._visible = false; //a MC showing standing man. irrelevant.
_root.runner._visible = false; //a MC showing running man. irrelevant.
_root.attachMovie(“pjump”,“jmp”,200);
jmp._x = manposx;
jmp._y = _root.surface._y - _root.surface._height/2 - _root.manheight - 20;
jumping = 1;
jmp.play();
trace("1.frame: "+jmp._currentframe);
}
trace("2.frame: "+jmp._currentframe);
if(jmp._currentframe>2 && jmp._currentframe<8)
{
trace(jmp._y + " frame " + jmp._currentframe);
jmp._y-=20;
trace("after "+jmp._y);
}
trace("3.frame: "+jmp._currentframe);
if(jmp._currentframe>=8)
{
jmp._y+=15;
}
trace("4.frame: "+jmp._currentframe+ " stpscl "+stopscroll);
border = jmp._y + jmp._height/2
if( border > ( surface._y - (surface._height/2) + 40) )
{
jumping = 0;
}
trace("5.frame: "+jmp._currentframe);
if(_root.opponent._x - jmp._x <700)// irrelevant
_root.attack = 1;
trace("6.frame: "+jmp._currentframe);
}
}
surface is the ground on which he stands. stuff marked irrelevant is of course, irrelevant to this problem…
the jmp movie is 10 frames long.
here’s the outcome:
