I’m now creating a cheesy and cliched game, and I want to know what are the best practices surrounding the ENTER_FRAME event and listener. Should each object onstage (character, enemy, projectile) listen for the ENTER_FRAME to move them, or should they have a public updateScreen() method that a central class calls each time ENTER_FRAME is triggered? Here’s my code now:
public class Projectile extends Sprite {
public function Projectile(xVel:Number, yVel:Number):void {
trace("Made Projectile!");
addEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE, launch, false, 0, true);
}
private function launch(evt:Event):void {
trace("Launched!");
removeEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE, launch, false);
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, updateScreen, false, 0, true);
}
public function updateScreen(evt:Event):void {
// Move object and update view
}
}
}
I just need to know how the professionals do it. Thanks.
