It's not a very long code, although it can be really useful for games, for example ogres walking, rocks falling from the sky, etc...
Just paste this code on the frame you want to be shakey.

var XX:Number = 20; //Feel free to change.
var YY:Number = 20; //Feel free to change.
var startshake:Boolean = false;
var shakeavailable:Boolean = true;
_root.onEnterFrame = function(){
function shakescreen(){
if(shakeavailable){
startshake = true;
X = random(XX) - XX / 2;
Y = random(YY) - YY / 2;
_root._x += X;
_root._y += Y;
}else{

}
}
shakescreen();
}

And this on the frame where you want it to stop shaking.

_root._x = 0;
_root._y = 0;
shakeavailable = false;

Sweet, i could probably use that

Great to see FOSS: Main hasn't died completely.

Let me tell you a short story.
One day when i was flashing, I bumped into a little problem. So the problem Is. I couldn't get a code for the screen to shake. It was terribly frustrating i spent almost 3 hours fucking up some codes to try and make one. But finaly 'YOU' have brought peace above this land and earth. I beg of you.....to make one which doesn't make the whole thing you've drawn fly of the page >:(

Heres a code that just makes one MC shake.

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
function shake(){
shakex=random(20)-10
shakey=random(20)-10
shakex*=0.7
shakey*=0.7
if(shakex<1 && shakey<1){
_parent._x=0
_parent._y=0
}
}
setInterval(shake,100)
_parent._x-=shakex
_parent._y-=shakey

I believe this is better than Toasts:

function shakeScreen(sLength:Number) {
numVez++;
_root._x = (random(20))-10;
_root._y = (random(20))-10;
if (numVez === sLength) {
clearInterval(ss);
_root._x=0, _root._y=0;
}
}
numVez = 0;
ss = setInterval(shakeScreen, 10, 50);

Change the last number (currently 50) to how long you want the shake to last. Just place the code on the frame where the shaking happens.

no i dont believe its better!!!!!!1111111111 :)

Bah, I can make a timer too, but I was supposing calculating how much frames you want it to last is more annoying than just putting my code on the last frame.

Toast pwnz j00.

11 Lines Vs. 20 Lines, also mine uses setInterval which means it doesn't need to be stopped on another frame.. O_o

But stopping ti on another frame is probably more useful. And any6way, the code cou have been adapted by others.

Well done Toast, I knew it already but this brings enlightenment to some.

Not if you're making a game.

Dude, people don't care whether it's 20 lines or 11, I just think putting a code on the frame where it stops is easier than calculating the number of frames you want it to last.

HAHA, 1 LINE: (3 in NG format)

var XX:Number = YY = 20; var shakeavailable:Boolean = true; _root.onEnterFrame = function(){ function shakescreen(){ if(shakeavailable){_root._x += X = random(XX) - XX / 2; _root._y += Y = random(YY) - YY / 2; }}shakescreen();}

Fair enough, for animating yours may be better but for games mine is more useful.

4 Lines, even after auto-format:

function shakeScreen(sLength:Number) {
numVez++, _root._x=(random(20))-10, _root._y=(random(20))-10;
numVez === sLength ? (clearInterval(ss), _root._x=0, _root._y=0) : 0;
}
numVez=0, ss=setInterval(shakeScreen, 10, 50);

=)

Bah, I guess j00 win, if I added a timer it would take a line or two :(

-liam- stop owning him at such a crap subject anyways one of these days we are going to have to let toast think he has the best idea

What about my code?

onClipEvent(shake my screen dude)
}
PS: (Thanks!)
}

?... Lol, sike, This is really helpful for me though, im glad someone posted this..

not bad! 4 lines! :P

onClipEvent(shake my screen dude)
}
PS: (Thanks!)
}

_root.onEnterFrame = function(){
NP = function(say,noProblem){
trace("Dude, no problem :D");
}
Key.isDown(Key.SPACE) ? NP(21,57): null;
}

Lol, just press space, it works :D

im glad someone posted this..

:D

numVez=0, ss=setInterval(shakeScreen, 10, 50);

Autoformatted = 3 lines =P (Just in case anyone was looking for a shake screen code that was only 3 lines).

How havn't we thought about that before? :D

_root.onEnterFrame = function() { _root._x = _root._y += random(20)-10; }

One pure line.

I see you cheating with all those commas instead of semi colons heh :D

Not very useful for games though =P Mines easy to use, just set the interval every time it's needed. Plus that doesn't count as 1 line because it would be 3 after auto formatting.

You are teh c00l Liam

It CAN be useful for games if you make it a function instead of onEnterFrame.

liam i pwn j00 at AS

if (orc.stomping == 1) {
function (orcshake) {
makeScreenShake._x = t3h pwn;
makeScreenShake._y = t3h pwn;
makeScreenShake._z = t3h 3d pwn;
makeScreenShake._unknownVariable = t3h 4th dimension pwn;
screen = pwnage game;
}
}
function (make pwnage game);
function (kill liam and steal his pwnage);
function (take over portal and rule the earth);

liam would you add this to our game please : ), have it so when you shoot the pistol, has minor shake, shoot the shotgun, large shake, shoot the m4 and its inbetween, but its until you let go of the mouse button so it lasts longer.

i'll come on MSN now.

Mogly, that is a sweet idea

Lol, I actually made this FOSS for a game i am working on - when the huge beats walk they make the screen shake.

Or, for it on a MC you can use;

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
function shake(){
shakex=random(20)-10
shakey=random(20)-10
shakex*=0.7
shakey*=0.7
if(shakex<1 && shakey<1){
_parent._x=0
_parent._y=0
}
}
setInterval(shake,100)
_parent._x-=shakex
_parent._y-=shakey
}

From 'ere
