Honestly this is an addendum to the previous tutorial in this series. This is a simple adjustment to the code we have already wrote but it will give us character movement that eases towards the mouse position instead of keeping a constant speed. It’s a relatively useful effect, I used it in one of my games, Entropy, for the opponent’s paddle movement. So here we go, let’s make our character follow the mouse easing its way into the position.

Trying to figure out how to hide and show the mouse in as3? It’s simple here’s the deal.

This is another tutorial in the character movement series. So far on AS Gamer we’ve discussed different ways to move your game’s hero with the keyboard. Today we are going to discuss how to move your player with the mouse. There’s a few ways this can be done, we can set a default speed that our character always moves at or create movement controls where our character eases into the new position. Both movement styles are extremely useful it just depends on which mouse movement method you are wanting to use for your game. First we’re going to talk about controlling the character at a steady speed following our mouse.

There are tons of games that involve character movement and controls and because one of the most popular tutorials on AS Gamer at the moment is about movement… I figured it was time to discuss a variety of movement methods. The first one we are going to discuss is Helicopter game movement. Everybody has played those helicopter games where you have to fly the helicopter through a maze without crashing. Well today we’re going to learn how to make that helicopter move the way it does.

If you like using MovieClips to animate your artwork in flash then this is a great method for doing it. Not only for Flash Games but for any project in which you have an object that needs to undergo different animations based on conditions. However, this will work perfectly for our Flash Game. So this time in the series we are going to make our Stinger Ship EXPLODE when it gets hit by a bullet.
