Hi there…

A have seen a youtube tutorial but can’t seem to find it again as it is in a different country with very little tags. I need the code that allows a movieclip to be controlled by onscreen button not arrows keys on a keyboard. This needs to be in AS3 as I am unknown to as2.

If anyone can help thanks so much

Thanks again!
