Player moves diagonally and not straight. ???
Provided below is the code for my class.
It all works fine for controlling the player instance when I don't COMMENT the onKeysUp.
I wanted to create a constantly moving character so I removed the onKeysUp. The first time you press a direction it moves straight, but then it moves only diagonally.
I notice that this little guy could be causing me my newborn headache:
function onEntersFrame(event:Event):void
{
//Move the player
player.x += vx;
player.y += vy;
}
Any ideas of changing this do stop the diagonal mumbo jumbo?
