  As we have not seen the capx I am going to make an assumption - and that assumption is that the bullets (when spawned) have zero speed. A bullet with zero speed can not have any angle of motion except 0. A bullet travelling at an angle of 45 degrees that is stopped (speed) and then restarted will travel at 0 degrees.

  (example of bullet "changing direction" because of zero speed)

  So if you are spawning your bullets with zero speed and then setting the angle of motion and then altering the speed then the bullets will travel at 0 degrees!

  But like I said - all assumption (and yes I am waiting fot the "Silence of the lambs" quote <img src="smileys/smiley1.gif" border="0" align="middle"> )

  This spawn action overrides any immediately subsequent attempts to change these inherited attributes. Son any attempt to change an angle after a spawn will never work.

  Are you sure this is right ?

  Different browsers/OS need sound in different formats.

  manual entry for audio help can be found here

  Post a link to your capx and we might be able to spot the problem with the touch control

  Then I think you need to alter the thrust depending on the difference in the two angles - bigger angle bigger thrust ?

  There are cleverer ways but two simple improvements could be

  when running away from player make the angle slightly random maybe

  angle(player.x,player.y,enemy.x,enemy.y)+random(-45,45)

  add a largish sprite (invisible) in the corner and when the enemy is over this then set the bullet angle away from the corner.

  OK two ways I can think of

  make your

  pug right animation the first choice and have no condition (move it above the other 3 choices and then just delete the condition which will force it to choose the right animation and then swap to the other three as needed

  or

  use OR

  so your condition would become

  angle is between 315 and 360 degreed

  OR

  angle is between 0 and 45 degrees

  THEN choose right animation

  Make sense ?

  edit (spelling)

  Once again it looks like I didn't read the question !

  Sorry - I thought you were trying to use the text as an input rather than a text box <img src="smileys/smiley9.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

  Needs work...(and a better name ?)

  "Fish jumping out of water following a path of predefined points example"

  Points need to be closer together to smooth curves.

  I would do something like :

  set fish (z order) to bottom

  if fish.Y < required height then move fish (z order) to top
