well, i only have one simple problemi cant figure a script to move one movieclip to another movieclip by the push of a button, lets say... space.

heres a example of the script i cant make work

Code: Select all

onClipEvent(EnterFrame){
     if(Key.isDown(Key.SPACE)){
        this._x = clip._x
        this._y = clip._y
     }
}

but it does not work, if anyone knows what im doing wrong, please help me.

thanks

The code you are using is almost right. The problem is your not telling were the movie clip is in the hierarchy. To fix it you need to add _root. to go to the top of the hierarchy then put the instance name of the movie clip next.
this is the modified code

Code: Select all

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
	if (Key.isDown(Key.SPACE)) {
		this._x = _root.MovieClip2._x;
		this._y = _root.MovieClip2._y;
	}
}

this code is on the movie clip that is going to be moved. One more thing I usually prefer to put the code on one frame to keep it localized. Here is how that is done

Code: Select all

onEnterFrame = function () {
	if (Key.isDown(Key.SPACE)) {
		_root.MovieClip1._x = _root.MovieClip2._x;
		_root.MovieClip1._y = _root.MovieClip2._y;
	}
};

hoped this helped cooll; !
