Forums → Programming Forum → HUD out of place - ideas?

So I'm working on a game using Flash CS3 in AS2 because I'm too lazy to relearn programming and switch to AS3, and I've got myself in a weird situation. I have a HUD in game that is near the bottom of the screen, like almost every other game in existence, and the stage is focused on the main character at all times. So the character moves, the HUD follows him along with the camera. Here is my code:

[quote]onClipEvent (load) {
moveSpeed = 5;
radius = 8;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
ang = this._rotation *(Math.PI/180);
if (Key.isDown (65)) {
this._rotation -= 7;
}if (Key.isDown (87)) {
this._x += Math.cos(ang) * moveSpeed;
this._y += Math.sin(ang) * moveSpeed;
_root._x -= Math.cos(ang) * moveSpeed;
_root._y -= Math.sin(ang) * moveSpeed;
_root.cursor._x += Math.cos(ang) * moveSpeed;
_root.cursor._y += Math.sin(ang) * moveSpeed;
}if (Key.isDown (68)) {
this._rotation += 7;
}
}[quote]

The code works fine, but the HUD sorta lags behind... like, the character moves and the HUD sorta slips a little but fixes itself later. Anyone know how I can sync it better?
