True, but provided it's not meant for shockwave but a projector, you could
track the mouse movement on an exitFrame, stepFrame or a handler set up in a
timeOut object.
For example, here's a handler I finished writing a few minutes ago. In a
game I'm working on now, I have a police agent moving inside a grid of
roads. When I move the mouse (in this case it's going to be a rollerball),
the direction of movement changes. Otherwise, the agent moves by himself. I
use the setMouse Xtra (thanks Colin for the tip!) to reset the position of
the cursor to the center, each time the cursor runs out of the screen.
This wouldn't be exactly what you need for your own game, since I'm
constraining movement to horizontal or vertical - but it should point you in
the right direction ;)
on exitFrame me
deltaH = the mouseH - pcMouse.locH
deltaV= the mouseV - pcMouse.locV
if (the mouseH < 0) or (the mouseH > 800) or (the mouseV < 0) or (the
mouseV > 600) then
setMouse ((the stage).drawRect.width/2, (the stage).drawRect.height/2)
end if
pcMouse = the mouseLoc
if abs(deltaH) > 10 and abs(deltaH) > abs(deltaV) then
-- horizontal
pcVelocity = point (pSpeed * (deltaH.float/abs(deltaH)), 0)
else
if abs(deltaV) > 10 then
--vertical
pcVelocity = point (0, pSpeed * (deltaV.float/abs(deltaV)))
end if
end if
me.moveAgent (pcVelocity.locH, pcVelocity.locV)
end
