A Movie Clip Moving where clicked

[Bobguy]

How would i make it where ever i click on the screen, the MC will move there? Thanks in advance

[Matt]

clickSpot_x = _x;
clickSpot_y = _y;
onClipEvent (mouseUp) {
if (_currentframe == 1 && _root._ymouse < 340) {
clickSpot_x = _root._xmouse;
clickSpot_y = _root._ymouse;
}
}
Try something like that

[Steven]

This is what I would do. Make a movie clip and put this code on it:

onClipEvent (load) {
targx = 240;
targy = 160;
speed = 10;
}
onClipEvent (mouseDown) {
targx = _root._xmouse;
targy = _root._ymouse;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
gotoX = targx;
gotoY = targy;
delta_x = this._x-gotoX;
delta_y = this._y-gotoY;
targRot = -Math.atan2(delta_x, delta_y)/(Math.PI/180);
this._rotation = targRot;
if (Math.sqrt((delta_x*delta_x)+(delta_y*delta_y))>speed) {
this._y -= speed*Math.cos(this._rotation*(Math.PI/180));
this._x += speed*Math.sin(this._rotation*(Math.PI/180));
}
if (this._y<40) {
this._y = 40;
}
if (this._y>280) {
this._y = 280;
}
if (this._x<40) {
this._x = 40;
}
if (this._x>440) {
this._x = 440;
}
}

As simple as that.

or do it the simple man's way.

onClipEvent(mouseUp){
this._x = _xmouse;
this._y = _ymouse;
}


should work like a cham.

[bactac]

onClipEvent(mouseUp){
this._x = _root._xmouse;
this._y = _root._ymouse;
}
Corrected.

-_-

smart ass
=P

[Matt]

you dont need _root. for it lol.
but still.

[Bobguy]

I should of explained it better, I want it to move not just appear where the mouse is clicked, like how steven did it, but i dont want it to rotate, i tried playing with the code couldnt figure out how to make it not rotate, thanks

[Soon to be flash master]

like on mother load?

[Bobguy]

kind of like the flying part of mother load, but i want it to just automaticly go where you clicked, not having to hold it

[arkhan]

onClipEvent (load) {
targx = 240;
targy = 160;
speed = 10;
}
onClipEvent (mouseDown) {
targx = _root._xmouse;
targy = _root._ymouse;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
gotoX = targx;
gotoY = targy;
delta_x = this._x-gotoX;
delta_y = this._y-gotoY;
targRot = -Math.atan2(delta_x, delta_y)/(Math.PI/180);
if (Math.sqrt((delta_x*delta_x)+(delta_y*delta_y))>speed) {
this._y -= speed*Math.cos(targRot*(Math.PI/180));
this._x += speed*Math.sin(targRot*(Math.PI/180));
}
if (this._y<40) {
this._y = 40;
}
if (this._y>280) {
this._y = 280;
}
if (this._x<40) {
this._x = 40;
}
if (this._x>440) {
this._x = 440;
}
}

wont rotate now..

[Bobguy]

thank you very much

[Grunteh]

Thats a long code.

[Swas]

A long code, as usual without an explanation. How hard is it to give one?

[Bobguy]

hmmm, when ever I test it, the MC always movies up in the begining, any way to fix it?

[Matt]

thats cuse thats where you clicked.

[Bobguy]

no when i press crtl + enter they, automaticly move with out me clicking

[The Brown Cow]

The code sets the target to a point when it starts.
This bit:
onClipEvent (load) {
targx = 240;
targy = 160;
speed = 10;
}

Just set targx and targy to the location of your clip.
You could use:
onClipEvent (load) {
targx = _x;
targy = _y;
speed = 10;
}

[Bobguy]

thanks alot brown cow! =D

[arkhan]

I didnt really read the code XD...he said it was working I cuted off the _rotation part
