Moving characters in steps (like space invaders)

I need to move charactes in steps, about 20 pixels each step. Similary to how spaceinvaders move or the snake in the snake game. I don’t want to use enterframe because the character moves to fast and fps in unreliable/inconsistent between IOS and Android.

I have not managed to find any similar questions that answer the question sufficiently. I have not found any examples appropriate examples either. [import]uid: 74142 topic_id: 26023 reply_id: 326023[/import]

Is there any reason a timer wont work for you? [import]uid: 52491 topic_id: 26023 reply_id: 105383[/import]
