I want to create a game in which the hero is an _overhead_ car view.

I want the car to be a movie-clip called from the .as file, with turning, reverse, gas, and friction.

I found [SIZE=3][—this—](http://www.actionscript.org/resources/downloadattachment.php?aId=30833231cd794e9ae27d43fdfadb152a&articleId=648)[/SIZE] which is _perfect_ but i do not know how to create something like this for as3, for that tutorial link is for as2.

Thank you for any help,

I suggest you get started porting the code and then reporting back with specific problem… I mean, asking someone to translate the whole code for you is a bit… much 😛

i agree, can i start by asking…  
in the as2 version all of the code is located in the movieclip actions panel, and now it must be in the class. How can i control the movieclip from the timeline in as2 instead of from the movieclip itself?
