[Crazy66601]

Hey do you know how to work with ADOBE DEVICE CENTRAL

[FrislidProductions]

@Crazy66601 no....i only know how to use after effects, Photoshop, premier pro, sound booth, flash, and, illustrator

[CSSSERVERPROBLEMS]

can i make so that when my character walks on a specific area he gets speed?

[FrislidProductions]

@CSSSERVERPROBLEMS not tht i know of

[Guitar5830]

@CSSSERVERPROBLEMS Just make another sort of ground? And give it the same code as the old ground, but in when checking for collision with new ground, if it collide you set the speed to something else..

[FredTheStallion]

vcam no work

[emmanuelo24]

thx i had to look at this vieo like 100+ times !!!!!!!!!!!!!1

thx for vid it worked

[nyanFTWcat]

part 2!!!

[Outpost38C]

When I go to "Actions", mine says "In ActionScript 3.0, code cannot be placed directly on objects. Please select a frame or use the Code Snippets panel to apply code to the current selection on stage."

Will this still work?

[FrislidProductions]

@Outpost38C bc u have to be in action script 2

[Outpost38C]

@FrislidProductions Yeah, I know...

What's the difference, anyhow?

[FrislidProductions]

@Outpost38C action script 2 just makes the codes work, idk y it just does

[valon750]

Hey there, I was just wondering if you could give me a hand with something.

I wand to add a HUD (Heads up display) which allows me to have things like health showing. Now, because of the cam and large screen size I wont be able to simply place it on the stage, so I need it to be where no matter where the character goes, the health bar area is in the top left corner of the screen where the camera is showing.

Any help is greatly appreciated :)

[bluetube147]

DUDE THANKS YOU SO MUCH IVE BEEN TRYING TO FIGURE THIS OUT FOR HOURSSSS!!!

[azeemotron]

I Followed All The Steps But The Camera Doesn't Follow My Character ??

[FrislidProductions]

@azeemotron make sure u followed all the steps correctly

[azeemotron]

@FrislidProductions I Did 100% But I Don't See Where Im Going Wrong ?:/

[louisdebmusic]

imo terrible tutorial... you don't teach hOW to create a flash game, you teach us to copy someone elses code.

[Doneson7]

I have a gaming website coming out in July 2012 and I’m looking for a writer to have a following on the site. doneson.com you can contact we at hotrod72070@yahoo.com if you have or know someone who has an interest.

[FloydMinecraft]

@Doneson7 I got interest, But what would i need to do?

[BinghamVlogs]

Finally! Someone with a normal voice! Also, very helpful!

[FrislidProductions]

@BinghamVlogs haha tht was one of the main reasons i made this bc no one had a normal voice in their tutorials.

[ObasStan]

I have an error issue on layer character frame, line 1.

[villamayor83]

where do you get the codes?

[JediRexMD]

@Onewa80 Same problem.

[Selopys]

Thank you so fucking much. Doing a lot of revamping though, made a shit ton of enemy's and a animated backround :D Anyways thanks for the awesome guide.

[MrPivotMT]

My character can't step on my ground. It's falling down.

[mrcrazysalad]

the camera doesnt seem to follow my character?

[Onewa80]

My character keeps falling through the ground!! What's wrong?

[villamayor83]

@Onewa80 have you tried to lower case letters for instance name? it should help

[valon750]

@Onewa80 I'm having the same problem, everything else has worked just fine it just seems to be that my character ends up going through the floor after falling no matter where the ground is placed



[CSSSERVERPROBLEMS]

@Onewa80 make your ground thicker, done!

[HalfAhBean]

@Onewa80 watch my video for help



[Eleenrei9]

@FrislidProductions hey i did it but it gets INSIDE the platform

[MrPivotMT]

How to i add any buttons to my game?

[izhwand]

Its working perfectly..

[izhwand]

You Are The Best!

I dont no why that 3 people dont like this.

[FrislidProductions]

@izhwand haha thanx

[NaughtySly]

@FrislidProductions wait so why will you not be making a part 2? because i would very much like to see one

[FrislidProductions]

@NaughtySly bc i nvr got tht involved with it n didnt feel like learning more about it. sorry

[SigilCacti]

@FrislidProductions out of curiosity, did you write this code? and if not where did you find it?

[tf2tworules]

@izhwand It's cause they're having trouble, they are falling through the ground.

[miruwai78]

you can delete the + in v cam

[mrflashcs3]

your awsome

[randyraw1]

how do you get to the finish line because im trying to make a game with a finish line

[juanpab777]

making the spikes is easy, just go a ndraw your spikes and then use the same script you used on the reset button. so it resets the same way

[MA5T3Rification]

vcam isnt working

[MA5T3Rification]

now it says else is unexpected what do i do???

[MA5T3Rification]

my character is not moving and i paste your codes! in says something like expecting semi colon before left brace wtf is that?

[didabig]

my camera dowsnt follow the character

[gian9320]

i nead a code of a walking stick man or like the PTRO character if you know what im talking

[Cloudofstrife1]

panting pretty heavy

[vincentloi12]

press what to open the game- -

[IgnyteX]

@vincentloi12 Ctrl+ Enter ;) If your on mac probably CMD+Enter not really sure

[hazzmat2]

Thanks a lot for this video, Everything you mentioned works for me.

[KiddingSpree]

Vcam isn't following my object, what's wrong?

[HeroicGrowl]

i tried making my boxes thicker but i still fall through

[mdemitassi]

@HeroicGrowl

click on the level and see in the right if you write "ground" in the text box near a gear icon ;D

bad english...

[minecraftvclub]

thank you, most helpful video ever.thanks.recommend, subscribed, liked and favourite

[djmatisk13]

THAAAAAAAAAAAAANKS

[djmatisk13]

hey i do it all steps correctly but what i must press to play the game?

[rcreveiwers]

@djmatisk13 ctrl + enter

[DarkMetroidGIR]

How do you make it so that the character doesn't fall down and it can move freely around the screen?

[AzmiAdli]

@FrislidProductions Thanks..

[AzmiAdli]

There is a problem because when I try to try it, it falls it self without touching the GroUND.

[FrislidProductions]

@AzmiAdli try making the outline of the ground thicker

[aqw1337]

@AzmiAdli when i make mine : make a little ground then make it to a symbole then dubble klicka att it when u ahve dubblem klick you are inside the symbole when you are there u draw the rest of the ground make all of them to a symbole then dubble klick again and give it a name "ground" then u compleat :)

[LordJuztice]

Firstly thanks, Ive searched to learn moving for like months and gave up and here it took me like a few minutes to figure. Thanks alot :D

For those who cant move, you need to copy every step he makes. The instance name needs be the same as his cuz thats whats written in the code.

[Nefinity]

Wow u making a mistake to make it glitch by assigning an x coordinate for restart. It changes x coordinate when it moves left and right so it shouldnt restart with ANY x coordinate. It should restart only when it falls below Y coordinate. Pretty amazing how u dont realize this.

[LordJuztice]

@Nefinity It doesn't really restart, it moves to those coordinates. I removed the x coordinate and when it fell down it would only move back to y and fall down. If you have the restart code then give :D

[PoKeTaCeS5698]

how do you make your own coding?

[MantelStudios]

yeah i put in the coding for the character and when i try and test it the character doesnt move what am i doing wrong?

[xXW1tchD0ct0rXx]

thx if only i could finish it

[Breezeflower]

Thank you so much for making this epic tutorial! I love my new platform game; it's challenging, though! X)

[officialyumcha]

mine wont move help!

[spy1guy8]

can you continue with the spike part?

[FrislidProductions]

@spy1guy8 sorry but i realy never got tht far with it and i stopped

[spy1guy8]

@FrislidProductions do you still have the script for them?

[Sw1fterly]

@FrislidProductions Im using a MAc and IDK where to ifind "description"

[XiffsProductions]

@spy1guy8 Spikes is practically the same as the restart box but then it has like spiky shapes..

[Zynthist]

My guy just falls of the screen

[DuckMan720]

how do you make the ball move faster / jump higher

[spy1guy8]

@DuckMan720 in the actions for the character go to if (Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)) {

_x += speed put = 20 you can do that for the same with the left

[spy1guy8]

@spy1guy8 *warning* also gliches through walls more

[TheFlyingCanary]

i hate you!!! not really your cool but make a part 2

[ReallyDumbVideo]

My person just falls of the screen :(

[ReallyDumbVideo]

IT FALLS OFF THE GROUND

[nickchm17]

what is the second tutorial called? has he even made one?

[JediRexMD]

Do you know how to make a moving character?

E.G.

A stick figure that walks instead of a ball.

[FrislidProductions]

@JediRexMD No..........i only got a little into making a game and really never came back to it, sorry.

[Sw1fterly]

@FrislidProductions Thank for the help but I have 1 question :D At the end of the plat former I made a restart box at the end of it so you Teleport ot another location. When you TP to there he keeps falling through the ground :( Waht am I doing wrong because I Copied what you did

[FrislidProductions]

@Sw1fterly im not tht sure why it would be doing tht but maybe its just some kinda glitch tht ull have to just screw around with untill u get it. when i first made a platform game it was just a whole lot of trial n error to see what works............good luck

[Sw1fterly]

@FrislidProductions Thank you so much for the quick reply :D And thanks for the info :3

[Sw1fterly]

@FrislidProductions Also, how do I EXPORT it as a game?

[LukasTechnology]

@Sw1fterly Hit: Ctrl+Alt+Shift+S

[Sw1fterly]

@LukasTechnology :D

[Vamshiani]

@JediRexMD - Dude i know that

here it is

if (Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)) {

_x += speed; play(); //-this line will let your movieclip play only when you press the RIGHT key

} in the same way for left if you have not understood it ,let me know ,i would make a tutorial

[RokieEagleRex]

please make a part 2 :) plzzzzzzzzz :(



[casinoBC]

does this only work for cs5? because im using cs4 and the code for the character is having problems and im guessing it is because of the version of my flash?

[FrislidProductions]

@casinoBC it should work in cs4 bc i also made a flash video game on cs4 as well as cs5 using the same codes

[casinoBC]

@FrislidProductions thanks man, its just because the codes i was using were coming up as errors? but yes i shall watch the cs4 tutorial

[John24069]

what the hell!it won't let me open the description

[How2dostuff13]

can some one please tell me how i can get the ball to go to the next frame when it hits the end point??

[7788andrew78]

great tutorial

[7788andrew78]

does anyone know of any codes like the ones for character movement

[7788andrew78]

are you going to make part 2?

[tokiohotelrulz1]

@mfkphotos probably, i tried it again and it worked... so i just messed up the first time(:

[vampcrush]

dude where do you get description from cause i cant find it and your screen doesn't show where you clicked

[elrico665]

hi how do i bring up description?

[tokiohotelrulz1]

when i hit ctr enter my charecter just falls through the floor?

[Blackthunderproducti]

@tokiohotelrulz1

yea me too

[mfkphotos]

@tokiohotelrulz1 you probably forgot to call the ground layer's instance name "ground"

[andyacdcman]

tnx!! it worked

[malus97]

1087: Syntax error: extra characters found after end of program.

[Hommerhart]

[TheDiamondApple]

[JippysProfoundings]

[HKpRo24]

[emre6476]

thank man

[TheSuyashdixit]

[iphoneandnick]

you should not make people use as2

its very out dated

you need to use as3

[drem4life]

this is not making a game

this is how to copy a game

we want to know about codes

the big problem of making a game or app

is coding

[ramisaislam]

00:57



[Moreuselessvideos]

hurry up with the second one cause my game is awesome but i want it to be more awesome

[NintendoDr]

@Moreuselessvideos he's not going to do it, you know.



[glutenfree4u]

Vcam doesn't work...when I downloaded it it was not a flash file it was a text file.

[MagiKpeople]

hmm... I get an error with the vcam code.

it says "Scene=Scene 1, layer=vcam, frame=1, Line 6 ')' expected

But the parenthesis really is there, what's up with that?

[2182gamer]

it doesent work my ball keeps falling down

[2182gamer]

my ball keeps falling down

[cojen098]

@97theskater make sure you typed in "ground" (no caps or something) into the "instance name" box

[legax001]

Is there a way to make a game like this multiplayer?

[MinecraftOasis]

This video isnt even original -.-. (except that its in cs5 instead of macromedia flash) . Make sure if you gained information from another source, site where you got that information.

[97theskater]

why my ball fall down? O.O

[cheeto37]

i love you

[FrislidProductions]

no sry 

[NerdBoy72Productions]

Great video! this helped so much! do you know how to make a 2player platform game?

[mrcrazysalad]

My character falls thorugh the ground

[TheElitedeath]

and level ends?

[FrislidProductions]

@TheElitedeath well this was more of "scratching the surface of making games" sry but i never learned the rest

[TheElitedeath]

how do you make multiple levels?

[NintendoDr]

@TheElitedeath you can make multiple levels if you make a button to go to the next keyframe (preferablywhere it is in a position where you can only click on it when you reach the last block), but then you would have to start the game all over (except maybe the character) to create the next level. the code for a button is on (realese) {gotoandStop(2)} just to go to the second keyframe. you would change the 2 to a 3 if you wanted it to go to the third keyframe 4 to go to the fourth,ect.

[rotsebanotman]
