Hey guys, i’ve got an experiment i’m working on here and i’ve looked all over these boards and looked all over the internet for this exact thing so please don’t yell at me for not searching first.
Anyway, i’m trying to do something very similar to the ‘walkie’ that’s www.sofake.com – go all the way to the next to last page, click ‘walkie.swf’, and it’ll load up in the last page. I have a character that’s already animated using the keys, and i have a background that’s sliced up into a forground layer, a middleground layer and a background layer. I can make the three layers scroll in parallax using the mouse. However, when it comes to the character and its movement within the environment, i’m a bit lost. So i guess these are the main issues i need help on.
-
Making my character move within the environment - not cheating by just making the background move by pressing the arrow keys
-
Keeping the character centered on the stage – i mean by having the stage track the character, not just leaving the character in the middle, because if you reach the end of the environment i want the character to continue on until it hits its boundaries
-
making the three background levels move in parallax in relation to the movement of the character
Any help is greatly appreciated on this. Too bad i don’t have the source file for that ‘walkie’ thing.
