Make the screen follow character

Hello i am making a platform game using actionscript 3.0. My character can move, fire bullets and jump around on the platforms, but how do i make the screen follow the character? I've tried using a v-cam but it does not work properly with the shooting. How do i make the screen follow my character?
Any help is appreciated

You need a gameframework to do this for you, if a virtual cam doesN´t do what you expect, and you are unable to fix this issue.
You could theoretically put all your background assets in one big movieClip and move it around in relation to your Player (if the player "moves" ten pixel to the right, the background instead moves ten pixels to the left etc.)
but if you need any kind of hit detection between pixels that are on your background (likle enemies) and your player, converting all your points from localToGlobal and vice versa, will get you into trouble.

  • Can I make the screen follow where my script is? Clarification in comments.

    Hi everyone,
    Here is what I want to do. I have a script that find/replace in all my document. It runs for half an hour, line by line. But InDesign stays on the same page all this time, so I can't see where it is, what it changes LIVE. I want to know if there is a trick that will make the screen follow the selected text that need to be change, so I can see it.
    Thanks in advance,
    Olivier

    Hi Olivier!
    Calling the "select()" method might result in what you want.
    The following selects a text frame in my test document, and it also shows the page that the object is on, if another page is in view:
    app.activeDocument.pageItems.itemByID(207050).select()
    (Of course "207050" is a valid id for one of the objects in my open document)
    So if you have a result of "found objects", you could possibly juist call the ".select()" method for each object that you would like to set focus to.
    Sometimes "Enable redraw" needs to be checked, from the popout menu of the script palette. I'm not sure that's the case here though.
    Best regards,

  • I am frustrated with how my cursor jumps around while typing.  How can I make the arrow follow the cursor so this doesn't happen?

    Macbook Pro with OSX Yosemite:  I am frustrated that when using Word for Mac, the cursor keeps jumping around all over the page.  How can I make the pointer follow the cursor so this stops?

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).

  • Satellite L300: How to make the screen less blue?

    Hi,
    Is it possible to make the screen less blue, not fully color managed, just a little warmer. TIA.

    Hey Zeb,
    Why you want to change the color management? Are not satisfied with the colors on your L300 screen? I have this notebook too and Im very satisfied with the color management. For me its all ok and I dont change anything on it.
    Anyway, you can change the colors in graphics driver menu. On Intel cards for example:
    Display properties > Settings > Advanced > Intel Graphics > Graphic Properties > Color Correction

    Take it to an Apple Store or other service provider for testing.

  • I cannot make the screen smaller.  It will pop up the normal sizee for a second, and the go large.

    I have an I-Pad version 4?  I cannot make the screen go to the normal size.  Squeezing my fingers together  does not work.  Every now and then the normal size screen will pop up for a second.

    Thanks!  It worked.  First time I have used this.  I have had the I-pad for two years.

  • How to make the screen dim while music is playing

    I can't get the screen to dim while playing music on my iPod Nano.  It used to be that the screen dimmed while music was playing until it lit up when I hit a button to change volume, track, etc.  This preserved the battery life.  It seems that I inadvertantly changed some setting just a few days ago because I saw the apple logo appear on the screen and since then have not been able to figure out how to make the screen dim while playing music.  I think the fact that the screen is staying on while I'm listening now is making the battery out very quickly.  Does anyone know how to solve this problem?  Thank you!

    Hello ZingMA,
    You need to reset the backlight timer.
    Go to settings, general, and backlight. You should be able to set if from there. I am assuming you have a 6th gen nano. If you have a different model the user manuals have the steps. Found here:

    Hope this helps.

  • How can I make the mouse follow as I point?

    I am brand new to captivate and incredibly frustrated. I'm
    trying to record a web site walkthrough and have selected
    "Demostration." No matter what setting I change, the mouse only
    moves when I click, but I want to point to things as I narrate. Can
    anyone help me understand how to make that happen?

    Welcome to our community, murphisto
    Captivate doesn't exactly work in this manner. Basically here
    is how the process works. You open an application. You open
    Captivate and configure it to record the application. There are
    different ways to record. You elected Demonstration. When recording
    in Demonstration mode, the following happens.
    Where you click or type, Captivate captures the screen. The
    screen capture becomes the background image for the slide. The
    mouse coordinates are tracked. In other words, where it started and
    where it stopped. So each slide has a single mouse movement. On the
    first slide where mouse movement was recorded, you may adjust the
    start and end spots. But each slide afterwards only offers you the
    ability to adjust the mouse ending spot. The starting spot is
    determined by where it STOPPED on the slide before.
    You may wish to investigate using Full Motion Recording
    (FMR). But if you choose to go that route, you need to be aware of
    some factors. Captivate was never designed to be a Full Motion
    product. It's better than it used to be, but far from perfect. If
    you do record in full motion, keep it very brief. Just a few
    minutes worth. If you find this method of recording and playback
    are what you feel are best, you will find yourself constantly
    frustrated with Captivate. In that case, you should investigate a
    different product that was designed with full motion in mind.
    Camtasia Studio, Fraps or one of the others.

  • How to make the graph follows the position of the video frame

    Hai..
    I want to open the video (. avi) and graph together in one VI.. The videos and graphs can be controlled (forwarded or rewind) in the desired position.. However, the graph should follow where's the position of the video frame..   The graph generated from the data in excel, after reading data, then there is the processing of signals, such as filter, mean, find the peak, etc.. After that the result will appear in the graph..
    Until now, I've been able to display video and graph.. I'm trying to use WMP and also IMAQ..
    Because I want to show the position of the graph or signal when the video plays, I was making a cursor or a line on a graph that follows the position of the video..
    First, I'm trying using WMP.. I can forward and rewind video using WMP, after that I make a cursor on the graph and the position of cursor I put in the position video.. And then when I run the program, the signal that arises from the right, but the cursor in the graph follow the position of the video (the cursor appears on the left) different side with the signal..
    I also tried using IMAQ when I tried to use the video controls, so the video can be forward or rewind using the slide, and I made a graph control to follow the video.. But the video isn't playing, it just show only images or frame in the video..
    Can we create a graph that can follow the position of the video? (graph can be in forward and rewind just like with video)
    I've tried many ways but until now have not been successful.. can someone help me?
    Any help is greatly appreciated thank you.

    This should do pretty much what you want, assuming that a slider is how you are controlling your video position. You are going to have to play around with it a little but it should give you the basic idea.

  • How do I make the screen stop moving?

    I must have clicked something I shouldn't.... Usually, I use my index finger to move the cursor around on the screen. But now, I can still do that, but everything on the screen moves side to side or up and down when I'm moving the cursor (moving my finger across the screen). Does anybody know what happened and how I can stop it?

    Hi
    You might be a little zoomed out. Go to System Preferences, Universal Access and make sure Zoom is not turned on.

  • When I open a document from any of my files, it only opens in a small screen and I can't make the screen bigger.

    Hello!  I'm hoping someone can help me with a recent problem on my MacBook Pro.  When I try to open a document from one of my files, it only seems to open in a small screen and I can't seem to make that screen any bigger to work on it.  Has this happened to anyone else before?  Thank you for your answer in advance!

    Oh, I wanted to add that trying to drag the little diagonal lines to the right of the page doesn't seem to work.
