How to move an actor left and right with a button

swiftskater1

i have a button. And when i press that button i want him to move right. how would i do this?

I asked this awhile back.

please

CodeMonkey

Make a game attribute(boolean). Call it ButtonPressedRight

In that button actor make the rule:
Rule: If Actor Recieves Event, touch, pressed
--Change Attribute: game.ButtonPressedRight = true
Otherwise:
--Change Attribute: game.ButtonPressedRight = false

In your moving actor make a rule that checks if the game.ButtonPressedRight is true
--Move: Direction 0,

Thank you so much guys. Ok. So. How would i make the buttons scroll on the screen with the actor?

create a layer and uncheck the scroll box. Then no matter what the size of you scene is put your buttons in place as if the scene is only 480x320 and they will stay where you want them as long as they are on that non scrolling layer.
