How to make Sprite move by itself when screen Initialized

[Brandon Kidd]

Is there a way to make a sprite move on its own when the screen is initialized?

thanks for all the help.

Probably not.  The best way would be to have a timer, disabled with an interval of 100, and do your moving there.  At the end of the initialization, enable tht etimer.  AS the first block in the Timer, disable that timer so it doesn't fire again.

sure, just set the speed and heading of that sprite

Heading

Returns the sprite's heading in degrees above the positive x-axis. Zero degrees is toward the right of the screen; 90 degrees is toward the top of the screen.

Speed

The speed at which the sprite moves. The sprite moves this many pixels every interval.
