Ok alot of people have told me to use the V-cam as a camera but i know that just makes flash lag horribly. So I'm wondering how to make a camera like the one in fancy pants or the citrus engine i played.

Try something like, _x = -Char._x + (or is it minus... I don't remember) whatever half of your stage width is. That'll get your character centered.
For anything fancier than that, you're just adding variables onto where ever you're centering _x, so if you want to stay in front of the character...
focusPoint = Char._x + (Char._xscale/2) + 360(er, half of your width)
_x = -focusPoint
Getting to smoothly scroll when you change directions... well that's actually pretty simple, you'd just need a variable that goes from 50 to -50 depending on what way you're facing.
Don't ask about the camera in World 2, I spent forever tweaking that thing, for all I know if could be considered a form of advanced AI at this point...

ok, but how do you decide how much you see. For example, i might have a huge level and put that coding in there. But how do i make the screen only look at a certain point? Do i have to start out making my MC huge enough to take up a bit of the screen?

How do you use V-cam in a Flash game? Aren't you supposed to tween the cam in an animation?

Just make it equal your MC's _x, it is really meant for animation purposes though

I just tried this and it is not working. How would I just get the root X to be the same as something. For instance I'm doing this:
screenX = jude._x + 275;
screenY = jude._y + 200;
_x = screenX;
_y = screenY;Posted 3 years ago # -
