I was wondering how to make two boxes, lets say, fall on to each other and then fall off if the movie clip get removed.
Ive already got the gravity working.
any help would be much apreciated. Im looking for eather code or a tutorial.
im AS2
im not looking for an engine just something like âMusic in Motionâ
Heres my code

for falling box
&ltre>
class Box extends MovieClip {
var velocity = 0;
var gravity = .5;
var friction = .01;
function onLoad() {
this._x = Math.random()*600 + 50;
this._y = -100;
}
function onEnterFrame() {
velocity += gravity;
velocity -= friction*velocity;
_y += velocity;
if (_y>_root.floor._y) {
_y = _root.floor._y;
velocity *= -.4;
gotoAndPlay("BoxDie"
}
}
}
</pre>
and for my hero
&ltre>
class hero extends MovieClip {
var velocity = 0;
var gravity = 1;
var friction = .01;
var jumping = false;
var jump = 5;
var boxTimer = 0;
function onEnterFrame() {


boxTimer += 1;

if (boxTimer>20) {
boxTimer = 0;
_root.attachMovie("Box","Box"+_root.getNextHighestDepth(),_root.getNextHighestDepth());
}
if (Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)) {
this._x -= 10;
this._xscale = 100;
}
if (Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)) {
this._x += 10;
this._xscale = -100;

}
if (Key.isDown(Key.UP) && jumping == true) {
velocity -= 20;
jumping = false;

}

velocity += gravity;
velocity -= friction*velocity;
_y += velocity;


if (_y>_root.floor._y) {
_y = _root.floor._y;

velocity *= -.01;
jumping = true;

}
if (this._x>650) {
this._x = 0;
} else if (this._x<0) {
this._x = 650;
}
if (this.hitTest(_root.Box.heroKiller)) {
Die;
}
}
}
</pre>

You could code directly inside the Box movieclip so it's always falling, except if there's something under it

it stops at the floor but on ly on its ypos not the movieclip itself

ok updated code

&ltre>
class hero extends MovieClip {
var velocity = 0;
var gravity = 1;
var friction = .01;
var jumping = false;
var jump = 5;
var boxTimer = 0;
var falling:Boolean;
function onEnterFrame() {


boxTimer += 1;

if (boxTimer>20) {
boxTimer = 0;
_root.attachMovie("Box","Box"+_root.getNextHighestDepth(),_root.getNextHighestDepth());
}
if (Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)) {
this._x -= 10;
this._xscale = 100;
}
if (Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)) {
this._x += 10;
this._xscale = -100;
}
if (Key.isDown(Key.UP) && jumping == true) {
velocity -= 20;
jumping = false;
}
velocity += gravity;
velocity -= friction*velocity;
if (falling == true) {
_y += velocity;
}
if (hero.hitTest_floor.hitTest(_root.floor)) {

jumping = true;
falling = false;
} else{
falling = true
}
if (this._x>650) {
this._x = 0;
} else if (this._x<0) {
this._x = 650;
}

}
}

You want to fix the drawback it makes from when it goes past the floor and then it goes back up to the Y limit, or you just want a better code?
