Changing image direction in easing

programming flash
1

Hey Everyone,

I’m currently having problems finding anything thats helps me change the direction an image is facing depending on mouse moment. I’ve found stuff on rotation, but I want my image to flip so its facing the other way.

Any help would be apprieciated :smiley:

assuming that your image is inside a movieclip…
movieclip._xscale *= -1; // this will change the direction

as for mouse detection…

if(_root._xmouse>Stage.width/2)
{
movieclip._xscale *= -1;
}
else if(_root._xmouse<Stage.width/2)
{
movieclip._xscale *= -1;
}
else
{
// do nothing if mouse is in center
}

What parts exactly am I applying this to?

“movieclip” will be the MovieClip actually holding your image.
and the code should be placed where your movie clip is.

I have it sort of working, though my movie clip is twitching a lot (quickly changing from one direction to another) as I move the mouse around and sometimes doesnt face the wrong way. Any ideas on why thats happening?

NB: I did add a onMouseMove = function(){ at the beginning
