Drag Map and Sprite issue

zakkwylde

Hi,

I have a little issue that I could use some assistance with (sorry at work and do not have code to show).

I have loaded a tile map and can drag around the screen and restrict to on drap to map area.
I have then add a player sprite of the map and can drag map and the player stays put in relation to the map.

Problem is that this only works if I scroll slowly, if I do a quick drag and the map hit it's 'zero' position the player sprite moves. I know it has to do with the drag values still being use in the mousemove event I just cannot see the solution.

Thanks

Caroline

Difficult to know without seeing the code - are you doing

event:stopPropagation()

to prevent other sprites being affected?

Let me ask in a different way.

Could someone provide an example that show how to keep a sprite in it's relevant position if the background scrolls. eg it follow the direction of the background by the same amount of pixels.

I know it isn't an example on how to do it, but I would make the sprite a child of the map. This way it SHOULD move with it.

That works. Thanks Mike.

As usual I was over thinking the solution!!!! again!!!
Gideros rocks!
