Can anyone help me with a small problem that I'm having.
Im trying to create a platformer, where the charecter runs when you press left or right.
The code that im using is:
if (Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)) {
_x -= speed;
this.gotoAndPlay(17);
_xscale = +scale;
My problem is that in my run cycle when you hold down left it stops at the first frame of the run cycle(17)
is there anyway that it will play through the run cycle.
P.S.Im using AS2
From what I can tell from my rather limited AS2 skills is that when you press left, you're explicitly telling it to go to that frame. So when you hold it down, it keeps going to that one.
Or I'm reading this completely wrong. You'll probably have to wait for Nyubis, VG to get a proper answer and possible fix.
On the first sight WJUK is right. Which is very impressive because he never used Flash.
I suggest you use Brad's mini tutorial to get started on stuff like this.

Sweet, thank god for common sense names in programming languages!
Go WJUK! I've always wondered why didn't give Flash a try though.
I had considered giving Flash a go, but never got around to it. Not to mention, I didn't want to pay for Adobe's products (yes, I know there's another way).
I'm busy enough learning other programming languages.
Sorry the 1 hour went by so I cant edit but Brad emailed me the Tutuorial, and it was a great help. I thought there would be a great deal of complicated code but it was the same as what I had originally, with movie clips inside the movieclips.
Thank god for Brad Borne!!
Wow, Brad does lurk the forums quite frequently it seems.
I thought Wallross mailed him?
Erm... I'm not sure. Did he?
Possibly, he doesn't make it clear though. My first thought was that Brad found the thread and just emailed him.
Haha ok, I was wondering why he wouldn't post here if he found this.
