Just a couple o things, ive tried fiddlin with the actionscript,
onClipEvent (load) {
if (_name == “mc0”) {
for (x=1; x<=15; ++x) {
this.duplicateMovieClip(“mc”+x, x);
_root[“mc”+x].follow = x-1;
}
} else {
mc = _root[“mc”+follow];
}
delay = 1;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (_name == “mc0”) {
x = _root._xmouse;
y = _root._ymouse;
} else {
x = mc._x;
y = mc._y;
}
vx = x-_x;
vy = y-_y;
_x += vx/delay;
_y += vy/delay;
}

but i cant keep a certain number of mcs… i dont want that ‘if theres lessthan 15, add sum’ thing if thats what its actually sayin (i dont do actionscript) i just want em constant. is that new script, coz i cant do it by fiddlin blindly with the numbers that that usually works for me! I also dont want it as ‘mobile’ as i t is… any more thoughts?

I don’t understand what you want. What’s wrong with the animation as it is ??

Oh, I see now… First, increase your frame rate a bit, and set the delay to 3.

Then the bast thing would be to attach all the parts of your dragoon. Do you know how to attach movies ??

Only that if the mouse is moved to abrubtly, the mcs split apart too much as they follow. I want them all to keep a constant speed reagardless of the speed of the mouse. Speedly reply by the way, well done!

just been thinkin, eyezbergs one has different mcs in the middle, and differently sized…is this really done with duplicatemc? Iwas thinkin of how to do it like that, and i ended up with every slice in a seperate mc each following the mouse but the furthest back with with longest delay b4 it starts to move…just tell me im wrong coz all this thinkin is startin to hurt

Well, my opinion is : all the parts of the thing are different movie clips that he attaches on the scene. you have to draw all the parts, and then we’ll be able to talk attachments :smiley:

You’re not so slow yourself with the posts…

Attatchments?! Ah the confusion. Cant really start the drawin yet coz its gotta be a specific dragon, so i’ll repost in the not too distant future begging all over again. cheers for your help. If you ever forget how to insert a keyframe, dont hesitate to ask, ill be happy to help!

It’s not that difficult ! I guess you don’t even HAVE to attach if you draw all the clips separately…
You could draw them, call them the right names clip1, clip2… And then put the code somewhere else, in another movie clip. That should work. Let me try.

Tada !! I changed one line in Thor’s code, and add one keyframe. That’s it. I know, it looks absolutely beautiful.

Pom that is by far the ugliest dragon I have ever seen. I actually have a sketch of a dragon that i just finished, when I get back to school I’m going to scan it in. I’d like your guys opinions…

I agree… But esthetism wasn’t my point.

I made my dragon from that worm a lot nastier looking than your @#%$ dragon Pom. I’ll have to see if I can dig it out. And it was kinda ugly too methinks.

pj
the sabot

Wahey, this maight work yet… but the last slice is at the front. Its just demand after demand isnt it?! Swap my slices. NOW. (Please, and thank you)

That is not the ugliest dragon… it’s hidious, but it’s beutiful in it’s Flashness. All Flasher’s children are beutiful creatures, especialy if the code is beutiful inside. :lol: !

nice POM.

I can’t wait to see you’res …not Jubba :slight_smile:
