Need help with space ship ... im SOOO close...!

:smiley: - hello!

i won’t post the file yet - ive got to get the size down before i can post it. actually, ill put it here:

www.mark-stuckert.net/HEREHERE/

size wont fit here… but here’s the actionscript on the spaceship:

/////

[size=1]onClipEvent (load) {
thrust = 1;
decay = .99;
maxSpeed = 5000;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)) {
_rotation += 10;
}
if (Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)) {
_rotation -= 10;
}
if (Key.isDown(Key.UP)) {
xSpeed += thrustMath.sin(_rotation(Math.PI/180));
ySpeed += thrustMath.cos(_rotation(Math.PI/180));
flames._visible = 1;
} else {
xSpeed = decay;
ySpeed = decay;
flames._visible = 0;
}
if (Key.isDown(Key.DOWN)) {
xSpeed -= thrust
Math.sin(_rotation
(Math.PI/180));
ySpeed -= thrustMath.cos(_rotation(Math.PI/180));
flames._visible = 0;
} else {
xSpeed = decay;
ySpeed = decay;
flames._visible = 0;
}
speed = Math.sqrt((xSpeed
xSpeed)+(ySpeed
ySpeed));
if (speed>maxSpeed) {
xSpeed *= maxSpeed/speed;
ySpeed *= maxSpeed/speed;
}
_y -= ySpeed;
_x += xSpeed;
if (_y<0) {
_y = 612;
}
if (_y>612) {
_y = 0;
}
if (_x<0) {
_x = 792;
}
if (_x>792) {
_x = 0;
}
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (_root.ship, hitTest(_root.BARMC3)) {
xSpeed = -xSpeed;
ySpeed = -ySpeed;
}
}

[size=2]/////

:worried: - my problems are as follows:

  1. The spaceship speed (forwards and in reverse) decay to a certain point, but then reach this extremely minimal speed wherein they go on forever. not a big deal, but kind of annoying!

  2. when this happens:

[/size][/size][size=1]onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (_root.ship, hitTest(_root.BARMC3)) {
xSpeed = -xSpeed;
ySpeed = -ySpeed;

[size=2]the bounce gets more and more minimal if you hold the key (either up or down arrows) and it eventually starts hammering through the ā€œBARMC3ā€ until it plows through the other side.

So, as you’re all brilliant, here’s what I’m looking for:

1 - For the spaceship, in forward or reverse, to decay nicely and stop.
2 - For the spaceship to bounce nicely off of the BARMC3 (btw, just a little horizontal bar), but never plow through - I suppose it would get to a point where it would just keep bouncing?

Well, thanks for your time and consideration. There’s no rush on this, and I’m relatively new to Flash, so I’m in way over my head.

Thanks,

PS - the decay seems to eventually reach 0 speed when going in reverse, but it never stops when going forward…

PPS - for some reason i have to save this as a MX file, not an MX2004 for the spaceship to work… don’t ask me why…

(thanks!)
