Chapter 17: Platformers
Notice that in addition to storing a starting location (orgX, orgY) we also store a scale for each
movie clip. In this example even the fence and the houses are movie clips. The scale value does
not relate to the standard movie clip parameter ‘_scale’; we do not use it to resize the clip, we use
it to work out how far it should move. Take a look at the revised ‘move’ function.
