Hi there, was wondering if someone could show me how to replace the AS2 code used in the KeyObject Class with something similar in AS3?

Great tutorials, many thanks!

hey I have been trying simply add a separate object form the library on the stage would I have to write a separate as3 file or can I add it to an existing constructor code. If so where would this be within the files?

Some extra features I had fun putting in: landing gear disappears when you’re airborne; blades stop spinning when your’e grounded.

//if grounded
if(y >= stageRef.stageHeight)
{
y = stageRef.stageHeight;
vY = 0;
rotation = 0;
this.wheels.alpha = 1;
this.propellor.stop();
this.blade.stop();
}
//if airborne
else
{
vY += gravity;
rotation = 2 * vX;
this.wheels.alpha = 0;
this.propellor.play();
this.blade.play();
}

@Bret (If you read this)
Have you made sure that the helicopter symbol has the correct linkage?

Topi, I’m not an expert at all, but it would make sense to see that those variables are private to the Helicopter class. In essence, the variables are effecting the Helicopter the same way heli.x would, except without the heli part. Much cleaner this way IMO

lil question,
how is vy and vx affecting the position of the heli?
they are simple private variables of type number.
if it were written somewhere in the code heli.x = vx or something like that it would have been simpler for me to understand. right now i am confused :0
