Question

Delay movement how?

Hello,
I have an object that you can control with the arrow keys, and I also have another object that have this code:


this._y = _root.object_mc._y
this._x = _root.object_mc._x


Alright, but I want my second object to wait one second before getting the same position as object_mc, and when object_mc moves again the second object will keep delaying one second before getting the new position.
Is that possible?

Thanks.

yes, you can use setTimeout(f,delay) to call function f() after delay milliseconds.

(note:  setInterval(f,delay) will call f() every delay milliseconds until clearInterval() is called.  be careful with this.)
