Running in a flash game

[Guest_imported]

I need to develop a flash game where the user presses 2 keys (such as left and right arrows) to make a character run. The quicker you press the keys the faster the character runs. Does anyone know how I would go about doing this with Action Script?

Many thanks in advance

You could do this with a clip event attached to your character.

I tried this out with a clip which had three frames in its animation cycle with the following frame labels - left foot forward ("leftFoot&quot, right foot forward ("rightFoot&quot and neither ("standing&quot. Put a stop(); action in the first frame.

ClipEvent (keyDown) {
if (Key.getCode() == Key.RIGHT) {
this.gotoAndStop("rightFoot"
} else if (Key.getCode() == Key.LEFT) {
this.gotoAndStop("leftFoot"
} else {
this.gotoAndStop("standing"
}
}
