I really need some help on this, PLEASE HELP!!
// though it may look like i’ve made a sorry version of actionscript
// i have not. it’s just simple and brief description of what i’m trying
// to accomplish in this project.
Sprite.1 : your character, blue circle; movement = “up”,“down”,“left”,“right” arrow keys. \
Sprite.2 : enemy character, red square; movement = diagonals only; always toward Sprite.1.
END : Sprite.2 completely covers Sprite.1
Score : # of moves \* 100
Mode change 1: @ score 6000 = PARANOIA MODE; score +2500pts; score = # of moves \* 250. Background\_color = Sprite.2\_color.
Mode change 2: @ score 50000 = FREAK MODE; score +5000pts; score = # of moves \* 500. Background\_color changes between Sprite.1\_color and Sprite.2\_color every 3-15 frames.

basically what I need the most now, is to figure out how i get Sprite.2 to come towards Sprite.1 in a diagonal manner. this is what i have now:[indent]onClipEvent(keyDown){
if (Key.isDown(Key.UP)){
\_x += 25;
\_y -= 25;
}else if (Key.isDown(Key.DOWN)){
\_x -= 25;
\_y += 25;
}else if (Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)){
\_x -= 25;
\_y -= 25;
}else if (Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)){
\_x += 25;
\_y += 25;
}
}
[/indent]its just that i want Sprite.2 to move toward Sprite.1 (like he’s chasing after him) just all this does it make it so they both follow the same direction. How can I do this?
