AS2 just seems to have more problem solving. what I mean is, in a month or two, I can look at what I've already done as a sort of archive. I seriously doubt people memorize all of their code for future use. lol

I dunno. I haven't messed with it since I posted last.

use player.onEnterFrame = function() {
it works better and you can have every bit of code in the main frame well thats my 2 cents

Heh, I tried that once. Doesn't work in AS1. That's why I gave him the code the way I did.

Meh? I worx with me...

It would never do anything when I tried to implement it. Strange......

And you fixed the bounce bug? Congrats.

Anywayz, Today's my only day I haz enough time to program, so I left SI
(which still doesnt worx, check mah blog 4 more info) and tried to make some stuff VG did already (without using that italian tutorial). I did the arrow stuff, walls, camera stuff(which VG didnt ), and most importantly, I fixed a bug I'm wrestling with as long as I know AS, the 'bounce' bug, which means that the 'character' mc bounces while on-ground. I used to do that by animating the character to bounce in the reverse direction, but that wasnt alwways accurate enough, but now its completely fixede (with AS).

To be honest, I don't really like how that guy does anything. haha.
I'm starting to think I'm not cut out for this Flash stuff. I may give it up.

I suppose not everybody was meant to be a programmer. Try getting on a collab, where you draw and someone else writes the code. Like I can't draw, but I can code (now XD), so me and AP are working together. Try doing something like that.

I'm the opposite. I tend to keep my stuff organized, but my code is really messy. In fact, I don't usually delete any old code. I just put it in a comment block and keep it for later.
I figure I should unmess ma code a little, cuz when I re-use an old piece of code it takes me 15 minutes to figure out what it does and what I hav to change. Any tips? I already stopped naming my variables a, b, c, d, e, f, etc...

Try this tutorial, if you need more help with platforms and such.

Also, Niall, I know I don't *have* to put that in so many times, but to me it looks more organized. Also, I don't know how to make it to where you can only jump once. Haven't got that far.

You'd have to ask Nyubis about that. I just got the code from him.

moveUD is a non-built-in variable that takes care that if you fall with too high speed, you dont stop halfway the ground but go back to top. And it takes care for non-rotating slope detection. Thats about everything.

Also, moveUD is basically just a variable for move up/down speed. Very messy code that is though :/

Anyways, it could be something to do with how you set up the variables for gravity.
Well, 2 things I can see wrong: a) you've put like, 5 onClipEvent(enterFrame)s when you only need 1, and b) It seems that wherever you are, you can keep jumping, even in midair.
Judging by what you posted a bit ago, there may be some problems. I can't quite tell until you post a flash 8 version of the file.

Alright, hold on. Do you want me to upload it on megaupload or somewhere?

EDIT: For VideoGuy or anyone else who wants to see my rather lulzy work:

Actionscript is starting to irritate me now. I'm starting to remember why I quit...But I can't get discouraged, I guess. I'm about to just ask for Brad's FPA code and pick and choose what I need. But we all know he wouldn't do that. And I wouldn't learn anything from doing that anyway.

Anyways, I've figured out how to get gravity on and then I figured out how to make stuff solid, and when I fall, I can land on a platform (which is still a little buggy. I end up landing on the platform a little above where the actual object begins, but I don't know what to do about that.) And after I land, I tried to test the "Up" command, to get the character to rise into the air, and then fall. (I haven't turned it into a proper jump yet, so technically I could just float forever, if I kept pressing up)but when I press "Up" everything suddenly gets buggy and I fall through.

lolwut?

EDIT: Tested the 2nd method shown, that one worked like a charm. However, can you explain to me what the "MoveUD" means? I've never worked with that before.
