How do I jump at an angle?

Hi any help/suggestions would be great.

I'm trying to find a way so that on an 'on screen' button press my character jumps a set distance forward for 400px. So I'm looking for some way following a single input for the character to effective jump forward some way.

I've tried simulating controls for a platform behaviour by press up and right together but I still just get an up jump with no horizontal movement.

I've tried a few other things that haven't worked like custom movement move at angle etc.

Thanks

Dan

Could you post your capx or your a picture of your events? There's probably just a small error in the logic.
