For some reason when I put calcBallAngle(); in the onEnterFrame; section, it constantly makes the ball bounce within a certain area, then launches it off screen. After I delete the caclBallAngle() from the code, it worked fine. But I am using Adobe Flash CS3. To the next page!

Couldnt you have been more specific!?
I mean, I dont know where to apply what actions to the ball…
Do I apply it to the

onEnterFrame

section I made earlier or what!?
Or does it go to the ball itself!?

Where does this go?
function calcBallAngle():Void{
var ballPosition:Number = ball._x – paddle._x
var hitPercent:Number = (ballPosition / (paddle._width – ball._width)) – .5
ballXSpeed = hitPercent * 10
ballYSpeed *= -1
}

My ball isn’t working either

My ball doesnt work :< I think you need to show screen shots of where the actions go and then show all the actions together so we know what goes where

hi
i like this tutorial
i record the steps as a video in Youtube

i hope it will be helpful
i don’t complete yet the other parts
thanx 🙂

I’ve Found my REAL Problem my probrlem is

Here
var ballXSpeed:Number = 10;
var ballYSpeed:Number = 10;

Because when i typed

onEnterFrame = function(){
mcBall._x += 10;
mcBall._y += 10;
}

It worked just fine

Somehow my Variables aren’t working…

Please help

hey guys if your code isn’t working just compare it to this and see what the difference is:
//These variables are needed for moving the ball
var ballXSpeed:Number = 10; //X Speed of the Ball
var ballYSpeed:Number = 10; //Y Speed of the Ball

onEnterFrame = function(){ //this function will run during every single frame
//The paddle follows the mouse
mcPaddle._x = _xmouse – mcPaddle._width*.5;

//If the mouse goes off too far to the left
if(_xmouse Stage.width – mcPaddle._width / 2){
//Keep the paddle on stage
mcPaddle._x = Stage.width – mcPaddle._width;
}

//MOVING THE BALL
mcBall._x += ballXSpeed;
mcBall._y += ballYSpeed;
//Bouncing the ball off of the walls
if(mcBall._x >= Stage.width-mcBall._width){
//if the ball hits the right side
//of the screen, then bounce off
ballXSpeed *= -1;
}
if(mcBall._x = Stage.height-mcBall._height){
//if the ball hits the bottom
//then bounce up
ballYSpeed *= -1;
}
if(mcBall._y <= 0){
//if the ball hits the top
//then bounce down
ballYSpeed *= -1;
}

if(mcBall.hitTest(mcPaddle)){
//calculate the ball angle if ball hits paddle
calcBallAngle();
}
}

function calcBallAngle():Void{
//ballPosition is the position of the ball is on the paddle
var ballPosition:Number = mcBall._x – mcPaddle._x;
//hitPercent converts ballPosition into a percent
//All the way to the left is -.5
//All the way to the right is .5
//The center is 0
var hitPercent:Number = (ballPosition / (mcPaddle._width – mcBall._width)) – .5;
//Gets the hitPercent and makes it a larger number so the
//ball actually bounces
ballXSpeed = hitPercent * 10;
//Making the ball bounce back up
ballYSpeed *= -1;
}

I know I most likely won’t get an answer, but when the ball hits the right of the paddle, the angle is the same as if it were to hit the middle. Whereas, on the left side, it works fine.

the ball doesn´t bounce off the walls!!Help!

My ball is not bouncing off the entire stage.. it jus bounces half way and disaapears in the bottom…any help??????????????

my ball dosn’t move i hate this first it was my paddle now the ball
this is all the source in my action.
//These variables are needed for moving the ball
var ballXSpeed:Number = 10; //X Speed of the Ball
var ballYSpeed:Number = 10; //Y Speed of the Ball

onEnterFrame = function(){ //this function will run during every single frame
//The paddle follows the mouse
mcPaddle._x = _xmouse – mcPaddle._width*.5;

//If the mouse goes off too far to the left
if(_xmouse Stage.width – mcPaddle._width / 2){
//Keep the paddle on stage
mcPaddle._x = Stage.width – mcPaddle._width;
}

//MOVING THE BALL
mcBall._x += ballXSpeed;
mcBall._y += ballYSpeed;
//Bouncing the ball off of the walls
if(mcBall._x >= Stage.width-mcBall._width){
//if the ball hits the right side
//of the screen, then bounce off
ballXSpeed *= -1;
}
if(mcBall._x = Stage.height-mcBall._height){
//if the ball hits the bottom
//then bounce up
ballYSpeed *= -1;
}
if(mcBall._y <= 0){
//if the ball hits the top
//then bounce down
ballYSpeed *= -1;
}

if(mcBall.hitTest(mcPaddle)){
//calculate the ball angle if ball hits paddle
calcBallAngle();
}
}

function calcBallAngle():Void{
//ballPosition is the position of the ball is on the paddle
var ballPosition:Number = mcBall._x – mcPaddle._x;
//hitPercent converts ballPosition into a percent
//All the way to the left is -.5
//All the way to the right is .5
//The center is 0
var hitPercent:Number = (ballPosition / (mcPaddle._width – mcBall._width)) – .5;
//Gets the hitPercent and makes it a larger number so the
//ball actually bounces
ballXSpeed = hitPercent * 10;
//Making the ball bounce back up
ballYSpeed *= -1;
}

fuck your code

WHERE DOES THE CODE GO?????????????????????????
