Box2D Forums

Hi

Sorry but i'm a fully qualified noob when it comes to box2d and wck, and wonedred if someone could point me in the right direction.

I would like to make a oval shape roll. I am creating it in the FLASH IDE...creating a symbol etc. But how can i make this roll like an oval shape? I am assuming I have to do something to tell BOX2D the shape?

any help on this would be great

Ok silly me....I was used BoxMan as my class for my oval shape and assumed extending that class with Oval would work.

However if i just use shapes.Oval as my class for the clip i get the desired result:) Namely it rolls:)

However.....is it possible to make BoxMan extend Oval so i can use some of the core methods in there?

Hi

Thanks for the reply..

I have made that change to BoxMan. However that results in the oval not rotating when it moves, which is what is confusing.

If i keep the class as shapes.Oval it does rotate so I know theres nothing wrong my symbol etc.

any ideas on what could be wrong?

thanks in advance
