Hum...
What I do is. I draw a guy. I select-it and transform it into a moviclip. Then, in this movieclip's time line(_root.guy), I create three layers: idle, right and left. I each layer I create a moviclip (_root.guy.right, _root.guy.left and _root.guy.idle). I each mv, I animate an action (running right, running left, waiting for the player to do something...)As for the code:
onEnterFrame = function(){
if(KeyisDown(LEFT){
_root.guy.left._visible = true;
_root.guy.right._visible = false;
_root.guy.idle._visible = false;
}
else if(KeyisDown(RIGHT){
_root.guy.right._visible = true;
_root.guy.left._visible = false;
_root.guy.idle._visible = false;
}
else{
_root.guy.right._visible = false;
_root.guy.left._visible = false;
_root.guy.idle._visible = true;
}
}Hope that helped a bit. I'm a begginer too. And I haven't tested the code. Anyways, let me know if this does or does not work.

Oh! If you meant: "How can I animate it?"

I'll post something more in depth soon, but until I do, I recommend getting comfortable with duplicating movie clips, and using the swap button to change them out. For instance, making an idle animation on frame 1, then hitting f6 to make a new keyframe right next to it, right click the idle movie clip in the library, turning it into a walk animation, clicking on the idle animation on the second frame, clicking 'swap' in properties, so you have idle on frame 1 and walk on frame 2.
This is definitely the types of questions I wanted, I'll make up something more detailed when I get a chance.
Doodle, sketch, draw, design, fill notebooks with elaborate scenes, funny character designs, and gameplay ideas.

What kind of game is it going to be.
Fancy Pants Adventure 3 is out.Click here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eBGIQ7ZuuiUPosted 3 years ago # -
Alrighty, here's the long answer, and motionsmith, feel free to make fun of my archaic ways, haha.
There's Fancy Pants Man's timeline. On the first frame is a movie clip of him standing there, idle. I also put code on every single frame, since most of his actions use fairly unique code, with anything universal (like standing on the ground, moving based on your speed) called through functions.
On this frame is FPM's run animation, between the two are clips for starting to run and starting to run backwards, but you don't need anything like that for a simple game (or Viewtiful Joe either, apparently).
And here's his jump frame. As you can imagine, the code on this frame is much different than the walking frames, but shares the same functions as the wall jump frame (since you're still moving up and down in the air), and the 'hurt and knocked down' frame.
The absolute easiest way to to code changing animations would probably be to run this inside an onEnterFrame function on your root:
if (Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)) {
char._x += 5
char._xscale = 100
char.gotoAndStop(2)
} else if (Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)) {
char._x -= 5
char._xscale = -100
char.gotoAndStop(2)
} else {
char.gotoAndStop(1)
}Idle animation would be on frame 1, run animation on frame 2, and assuming the character was drawn facing the right.
To make sure both line up properly, it's a good idea to use the duplicate function in the timeline to create a copy of an old animation, animate inside that that duplicate, then press f6 on the timeline so that you have the same animation twice, then use the 'swap' button on a movieclip's property window to replace that duplicate clip on that keyframe with the new animation.
Alright, does anyone understand that? Heh.

i tested your btw bouze i think in this bit....:
onEnterFrame = function(){
if(KeyisDown(LEFT){it need another bracket like....
if(KeyisDown(LEFT)){same with right....but that's ALL i found (though i don't know what version of flash you are using

Brad's method is the same sprite method that I use to build the games at Disney. It works well and allows for fast development.
