hi,  
I need some help with an athletics game I’m making. I’ve got the basic script to make the guy run:

```
     onClipEvent (load) {
SpaceKeyIsUp = true;
speed = 1;

```

}  
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {  
speed -= .2;  
if (speed\<=0) {  
speed = 0;  
}  
if (Key.isDown(Key.SPACE)) {  
if (spaceKeyIsUp == true) {  
gotoAndStop(1);  
speed += 1;  
}  
spaceKeyIsUp = false;  
} else {  
spaceKeyIsUp = true;  
}  
\_x -= speed;  
}

but i want to make other events like long jump, javelin etc and i dont know how to make it so speed and angle adds upto a good throw/jump.

can anyone help me out? thanks.

you run upto a line and throw a stick as far as you can. if you go over the line its a foul.  
have you played the spear toss game on makai media?
