Moving Shapes With Timers

[DoomAdvocate]

What is the easiest way to move a shape using the Shape.move property? I'm trying to simulate fireworks using small circles. Just a little nudge in the right direction is all I need, thanks. I'm just not sure how to adjust the top and left properties... Much appreciated.

its very simple! basically make a timer and use something like this:

code:

Shape1.Move Shape1.Left + 10, Shape1.Top - 100

make sure u give your timer an interval i.e. 10. then everytime u want to move it right u add i.e.10 or left u subtract i.e. 10. if u don't want to move it left u just say shape1.left without adding anything or subtracting. then pretty much the same with making the circle go up. if u want it to go up u subtract and if u want it to go down u add. and if u don't want it to go up or down then don't add or subtract.

hope that helps

Thanks for the tip. I had it a bit off.. I was doing:

code:

Shape1.Move Shape1.Left = Shape1.Left + 10, etc

So, now it should work. Thanks.
