this is the code to create the pentagon in a movieclip called pentagon var xc:Number = 0; var yc:Number = 0; var a:Number = 20*Math.cos(Math.PI/5)*Math.sin(Math.PI/5); var b:Number = 20*Math.sin(Math.PI/5)*Math.sin(Math.PI/5); var c:Number = 20*Math.sin(Math.PI/5)*Math.cos(Math.PI/20); var d:Number = 20*Math.sin(Math.PI/5)*Math.sin(Math.PI/20); createEmptyMovieClip("pent",0); pent.lineStyle(4,0xFF0000,50); pent.moveTo(xc,yc-10); pent.lineTo(xc+a,yc-10+b); pent.lineTo(xc+a-d,yc-10+b+c); pent.lineTo(xc-a+d,yc-10+b+c); pent.lineTo(xc-a,yc-10+b); pent.lineTo(xc,yc-10) this is the code to move the pentagon movie clip across the stage this.attachMovie("pentagon","pentagon1", 1); pentagon1._x=0; pentagon1._y= 0; pentagon1._alpha = 0; pentagon1.onEnterFrame = function(){ pentagon1._alpha +=1; pentagon1._x +=1; pentagon1._y +=1; if(pentagon1._x > 400){ pentagon1.onEnterFrame = null; } }
