Do you use Tween code in your game at all?

[thunderxlight11111]

i know only the motion tween and i kow how to use it in the flash ( i mean not in the code)  and i guess not that i want

because i want to summon (monster) and when he used its spell the spell should follow the enemy

thank you dr.murphy but can you explain more because iam not pro in flash like you so i need more explaining .

thank you again for your replay

If you want to learn about how to use code to animate, then you should search Google using search terms like "AS3 Tween tutorial". 

You will find plenty of resources where people have taken the time to explain how to use actionscript to make things animate.

i want object follow and other object until he can catch it

look at this img please

Use Math.atan2 to get the angle towards the target and move in that direction.

There are loads of 'mouse follower' tutorials on the web that describe this formula, here's one:

because i realy dont know what they mean i only use random and round and some simple things

ummm, no!

Mate, you are not going to get very far if you have that attitude!

My advice would be either bite the bullet and apply your brain, or give up now.

Do some reading and learn how to use the Math API.

I can recommend this book:

http://www.amazon.com/Foundation-Actionscript-3-0-Animation-Making/dp/1590597915

In any case, it sounds like the game you are attempting to build is currently way out of your league!

Stop for a month or two while you do some background research...

[thunderxlight11111]

yeah , maybe you are  right , thank you

but still , i always find ways to run from these problem with flags and( IF cond in if in if...) Nesting

i will try with rotate the objects  , maybe that will fix the problem

thank you
