But i have a "dumb" question if i may, as i never used ActionScript before! How you "Create a new file under directory and fill it with the code".I am a bit confused and it is not making sense for so far...! I am having headaches learning for the moment but i believe it is for the better...! Thank you so much to every on and keep up the good work...! Happy Christmas to you guys. hello everyone,

And I tested by swapping the y up and down in the if statements. HOWEVER, this is only an issue with using the arrow keys. Using the numpad arrows (8,4,6,3) allows movement Up+left and shooting at the same time. Also, when I try and use Keyboard.Z for shoot instead of space.... nothing happens, running Test Movie doesn't draw the ship or the stars...

Some keyboards (my laptop does this) have a limited number of keys that can be pressed at the same time within a group of keys. I don't have to worry about this on my desktop keyboard though... I guess more powerful keyboards handle more keys?... -Aro Hi Joseh and B, your problem is not the swf but your keyboard!

If I start moving diagonal upward left (up/left keys at the same time) then press and hold spacebar no firing comes out. All other directions work perfect. This happens in your example as well on this page. The weird thing is that Joseph says down/left doesn't work for him and I say up/left doesn't work for me (on your example on this page), so what could be the problem? It must not be a programming error if we're having different results with the same code (your version on this page), or Joseph could have just typed down/left on accident.

I'm not quite sure what I missed and why I am getting this (must less how to correct it). 1136: Incorrect number of arguments. Expected 0.

Even in your example, if you try to move to the bottom left while keeping pressing the spacebar, the ship moves only in one direction. Maybe its a processor issue (but my PC has a Dual Core 3.2Ghz Processor, 2GB RAM and Geforce 7900GT) Hi Par, yes, I can move simultaneosly in multiple directions but only if i’m not pressing the fire button (spacebar).

Check the SWF Demonstration at the bottom of this tutorial. It's likely because you don't have your ifs setup right. Just double check them and see if they are what is causing the problem. Joseh,

You can move in multiple directions at the same time. Check the SWF Demonstration at the bottom of this tutorial. It’s likely because you don’t have your ifs setup right. Just double check them and see if they are what is causing the problem.

I'd like to ask you about the senocular classes. I noticed that when you are firing and moving you ship at the same time, the ship will move only in one direction. For example, if i let the spacebar pressed and press at the same time LEFT and DOWN, the ship will move only to the left or down, but not both ways. But, if the direction is UP+RIGHT, it works. Maybe its because the "if" sequence for those keys. Do you know who to solve for this problem?
