Hi Everybody,  
I found the following code some time ago, stored it in my AS file and promptly forgot about it - until now, problem is it don’t work in MX ( originally written for 5) and I cannot work out how to adjust it.

Code on Fr.1 of main timeline is :-

fish= 20;

Object.prototype.move = function () {  
rotAdd = (random(100-(vita\*rot))-50)/100;  
rot += rotAdd;  
\_rotation += rot;  
posX = this.tempo \* Math.sin((\_rotation/180)\*Math.PI);  
posY = -this.tempo \* Math.cos((\_rotation/180)\*Math.PI);  
\_x += posX;  
\_y += posY;  
if ((((\_x \< -20) or (\_x \> 550)) or (\_y \< -20)) or (\_y \> 500)) {  
\_rotation += 180;  
}  
};  
for (i=0;i\<fish;i++) {  
attachMovie(“fish”, “fish” add i, i);  
}  
stop();

inside the library is an mc.fish with the linkage fish, code on mc.innerFish is -:

onClipEvent (load) {  
tempo = random(3)+1;  
vita = random(4)+2;  
\_x = random(500);  
\_y = random(500);  
\_rotation = random(360);  
}  
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {  
move();  
}

This code ( in 5 )produces 20 fish that glide around the stage quite gracefully and in a fishy type manner, however in MX it produces 20 fish that leap all over the place in a not so fishy manner. Any help greatly appreciated

Thanks

SteveD

I liked the last bit about the fishy stuff, very funny! 🙂  
(not making fun of you, just the fish…)  
can you post the fla, easier to debug…?  
normally, flash 5 code should work in MX…

There’s a link to the original tutorial if you want to compare codes.

Hi ilyaslamasse,  
Well that did the trick - or should I say **this.** did the trick.

Thanks for the pointer and thanks to eyezberg for responding

Cheers

Hey eyezberg  
I’ve just seen that you live in Paris - whereabouts ?  
I lived in the 20th for about 18 months before moving to a v.small town called Gérardmer ( which is where I live now) this is in the Vosges, I’m about 2hrs from Strasbourg and Metz in the other direction.  
Probably the wrong thread for this type of chat ( well its hardly MX - is it) Just thought I’d ask.  
Also responding to any thread on any foorum is always a help, it shows when asking Q.'s that someone else is actually interested. I’ve been working in Flash for about a year now, only consider myself at (lower) intermediary level but thanks to forums like these it gets better everyday

Thanks again

SteveD
