[TheCodKingz10]

onClipEvent(load){ speed=10; } onClipEvent(enterFrame){ if(Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)){ this._x+=speed; } if(Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)){ this._x-=speed;} if(Key.isDown(Key.DOWN)){ this._y+=speed; } if(Key.isDown(Key.UP)){ this._y-=speed; } } this is the code for right left AND UP AND DOWN

[thectrlfn]

it's working if you really try to catch the hidden code for ____.x-=speed ...etc..

[1000thunderman]

not work

[XxiLOGiiKzxX]

how do i make a game thats like that teacher game where the character can move on the y axis to

[ikbeneenlolbroek]

What is the registration point for the ground? :D

[Sparta8oy]

@ikbeneenlolbroek the top

[leokful]

the code is : onClipEvent(load){ speed=7; } onClipEvent(enterFrame){ if(Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)){ this._x+=speed; } if(Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)){ this._x-=speed; } }

[santagotback101]

how do you make your character flip around when you hit left?

[TheNeonClub]

My question is...does anyone know how to use a sprite character with this code? If you do please make an awesome in depth tutorial :D

[elouai]

URL is wrong .. poor image quality ... also no sound?

[MrAnonymous9898]

this sucks all this does is make a ball move.

[2744spartan]

@MrAnonymous9898 how does this suck? he does exactly what he says he will do in the title: he makes a character, and makes it moves. Learn to read >.>

[inoshikasakunaru]

I have a question: Do you know how to make a RPG where you can choose the chacrater you want to play? Like, you can choose either Naruto, ichigo or Luffy, and i decide to choose luffy. Ok then i can play as luffy only, but everything in my whole RPG is still the same? THX

[hedgehoggy147]

that doesn't look like an rpg, more like a platformer

[unoriginality1]

the code you gave me for the character just helped me make something that i was not able to make in my shooting game.......every single day i just get better with actionscript....i hope the one day i wont need these tutorials anymore

[efrepall]

try to use hyper cam 2

its have better quality ;p

[BraverlyProductions]

You should get a better recorder :P

[TheSecOrg]

Is there a way to make it so if your touch another movieclip or something you gotoAndStop at another frame?

[efrepall]

add fmt=18 for see nearly hd

[N12311994]

is that msn paint?

[bflacks]

is this CS3????????

[MrAnonymous9898]

@bflacks its flash 8

[abbott959555]

correction , the proper code for left/right movement is onClipEvent(load){ speed=7; } onClipEvent(enterFrame){ if(Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)){ this._x+=speed; } if(Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)){ this._x-=speed; } } profchimpinstein you made a few mistakes , well , at least it didnt work when copied exactly to as2 that works perfectly,

[MrCCTheBest]

which progam do you use

[NiksiLsmo]

make instance name char on charter

[YoshiJumper]

does any1 kno a good tutorial for something other than "basic" movements...like, i have figured out how to get different animations to play for walking and running, but how would i get an animation to play while jumping/falling....plz lemme kno ty

[FlashTheHedgehog234]

how can i make it move if it has more then one frame i want it to move with

[YoshiJumper]

@FlashTheHedgehog234 go inside your original player mc, and whereever you have that one picture, put ' stop(); ' on the actions for that frame, the make your pic an mc, go inside of it and animate it... then where you have you code for walking, put if (Key.isDown(blabla)){ whatever whatever this.gotoAndStop(//whatever frame you want to play wen key is down//);

}

[profchimpinstein]

Sorry about the message below

where it says (Key.Right)){

Put: (Key.RIGHT)){

[profchimpinstein]

He Said To Put This Code In To The Character:

onClipEvent(load){ speed=7;

}

onClipEvent(enterFrame){  if(Key.isDown(Key.Right)){ this._x+=speed; } if(Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)){ this._x-=speed; }

}

So If He's Right Just Copy And Paste This In the Actions Of The Characters!

[123dojjan]

how to make walls

[graybaine11]

Sooo.... I have macromedia flash 8.

What is he using here?

[THEPOKEBIN1]

@graybaine11 Adobe flash cs3 or 4 probably.

[MrZurkonIRM]

flash 8

[MrZurkonIRM]

[FitDanielA2010]

onClipEvent(load){ speed=7; } onClipEvent(enterFrame){ if(Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)){ _x+=speed; } if(Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)){  _x-=speed; } }

[pudinthemushroomhead]

what is the AS2 action?

[JamesVance4pivots]

onClipEvent(load) { speed=7 } onClipEvent(enterFrame) { if(Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)) { } _x+=speed; if(Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)) { _x+=speed; } }

[RNGbladestudios]

onClipEvent(load) { speed=7; } onClipEvent(enterFrame) { if(Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)) { _x+=speed; } if(Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)) { _x-=speed; } } idiot

[JumpingJamberie]

get away from AS2

[JamesVance4pivots]

@RNGbladestudios yeah, i fucked up a little.

[SuperDoomProductions]

sry... Ye, I was using AS3.

:D Understood that later.

Sry!

It was a great vid!

[SuperDoomProductions]

... LOL! Cant put in the actionscript at the character!

And one moore thing u guys made wrong, is that this guy who made this movie, named it char!

[Gishatako]

Hey, GUESS WHAT? You are using AS3! Use AS2!

[RNGbladestudios]

AS2.0

[315982450]

Ha 

what a genious kkkkkk

[xXGreenDudeXx]

this tut sucks because ur supposed to put the codes in the description but nooo

[LookAtThisVideos]

He Doesn't So u learn instead of just copying and not looking at it

[xXGreenDudeXx]

id learn if i copy and paste it in some document and memorize it

[RNGbladestudios]

Green dude, put it on the comment below this comment now

[Gishatako]

Lol, ur a faggot Thats called Plagerism that way if you use it.

[xXGreenDudeXx]

your the faggot cuz you dont even know what Plagerism even is.

[Gishatako]

Copying somebodys work, im putting it into simpler words so you can understand the complex statement.

[xXGreenDudeXx]

your not copying someones work if your typing in a flash code. its ment to be written in the action script to make buttons and other things. idiot

[boykha2]

xXGreenDudeXx, it seems YOU don't know what "Plagerism" is. Learn to spell.

lol, "Plagerism"

[xXGreenDudeXx]

learn to spell? i copied and pasted lol

[SuperDoomProductions]

HEY! Dont b lazy! Write in the codes! He showed us wat the codes was and all u have 2 do is that u have to write in them in the actionscript bar! (Lazy guy)

[funnycatster]

help if i press left my character goes right

any idea?

[RNGbladestudios]

Reply to "funnycatster": it may be the script

[funnycatster]

hehe thanks for saying that, i found out that the actionscript is wrong..

[RNGbladestudios]

it's the script that may be wrong, if so, change it to to onClipEvent(load) { speed=7; } onClipEvent(enterFrame) { if(Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)) { _x+=speed; } if(Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)) { _x-=speed; } }

[ajholmez]

I'm getting a "1087: Syntax error: extra characters found after end of program."

Any ideas?

[jj82003]

were you do the actions it wont let me tipe. PLEASE HELP ME!!!

[flippydaking]

Try to click on Script Assist.

[MrPrinceX06]

does any knows how to make an animation that moves.. we are making an rpg game but this is our problem.. hope for your answer..

by the way i use the:

if(Key.isDown(Key.UP){

_x+=7;

gotoAndPlay(1);

}

[aicrop02]

what platform is he using?

[gamerman012345]

how do I fix this? =

Clip events are permitted only for movie clip instances

[olsern]

Change the "symbol!" to movieclip instead of graphic or button.

[MrPrinceX06]

@gamerman012345 you must convert your instance to a movie clip.. convert to symbol and choose movie clip.

[sk8r2000]

@gamerman012345 Give your character an instance name of "char". Then use this script: onClipEvent (enterFrame) { if (Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)) { _root.char._x -= speed; } } onClipEvent (enterFrame) { if (Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)) { _root.char._x += speed; } }

[sicret93]

Can u tell me the name of the program you are using and were too find it??

[kaizer170797]

i believe it says flash 8 pro program to make the rpg

[olsern]

Adobe flash, their homesite.

Buy the adobepacage.

[chobotsrg]

there's actually a different one that one can let u move around the whole place not like the one u stay on the ground

[kylethesmith]

I Press Left And It Works But When i Press Right, He Just Pops Back To The Start

[badmonkeyballplayer]

I want to make like this: if keep pressing, the speed will add, what's the actionscript code?

[dudeboy524]

maybe something like

(keypresscode){

speed++;

}

[Manifest222]

What you need to do, is say that when the key is pressed, the variable of speed gets higher. That way the constant (_x) will get higher, faster. Take this code for example:

if (Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)) { speed += 1; char._x += speed;

}

what "+=" means, is to take the value, (speed), and to add something to it (1), "+=" can also be read as:

speed = speed + 1;

[badmonkeyballplayer]

It can't work yet, but anyway, thanks!

[rompnife]

i keep getting a syntax error when i try to test it so i cant move here is the code i put it all in correctly(i think) onClipEvent(load){ speed=7; } onClipEvent(enterFrame){ if(Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)){ this._x+=speed; } if(Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)){ this._x+=speed; } }

[buizelbeagle]

Um, both keys make the character move right, not both ways

[hellfire9009]

AWESOME DUDE

[ajholmez]

Where can you get this program?

[GerbilAndHelp]

adobe. com...

[slayer123abc]

insted of a flash guy can u use a sprite'cause i really like to make a sprite rpg like final fansaty sonic

[Zaphire77]

sprites fine, he just used a circle for the tutorial

[JayMutta]

thanks alot...not sure why this is spam.

[Aitsihia]

When I try to type in that code, to the character 'F9', it says "Current selection cannot have actions applied to it."

[lieod]

PS.... im using Macromedia Flash Professional 8

[lieod]

this is what i ment it makes my character stay still ok? and it dont move

could u PLZ!!!!!! help????

like post the script as a comment to see if i have made and mistakes or

give me advice!!!

PLZ HELP!

[0175201752]

thank for the vid, it has helped me much, i found out how to do the up and down movements as well with this vid, thanx :D

[TheLeftHand88]

Is this in AS 2 or 3?

[1hitthug]

games are always in AS2 for some resond I can;t enter codes in AS3

[TheLeftHand88]

That explains why it looked odd. AS3 uses a different type of code than AS2. I've heard 3 is more like C++, but I'm no expert.

[badmonkeyballplayer]

In AS3, you are only aviable to enter codes in the frames, for example:

if I name one symbol's instance name into "tea", you may enter the code into the fram like this:

tea.codes

[PivotMasterBJM]

hey, i used your code and everythin, but if i put

if(Key.isDown(Key.W))(

instead of

if(Key.isDown(Key.Up))(

then it wont let me use "W" for the up key,

any tips? thx

~CaKeS

[UchihaMizika]

you gotta use numbers, 65 is A and 66 is B and you gotta go all the way to W xD

[PivotMasterBJM]

ah, kk so W would be 87... i think lol ill check! thanks!

[ZiomASek300]

oi i use cs3 but somehow when i click actions it says( selected char) current selecton cannot have actions applied to it? what do i do

[finalninja0]

did u convert it 2 a movie clip?

[ZiomASek300]

i figured it out

i used as3 not as2

[TheLeftHand88]

deselect the symbol.

[technodob]

wow man thanks, i had no idea that you could do this in flash. I find this pretty funny because earlier today i was looking for a game design program that i could of used for free (and it not be a trial) but i had one all the time. Anyway thanks again man you've helped me out a bunch.

[Renikor]

where do you past the code...

[Renikor]

nvm got it

[TheAQWFan]

Where??

[TheAQWFan]

U can get those Codes?

[SeniorTophat]

first, get the as2 bible

2nd use your brain

3rd manipulate codes by piecing bits by bits together untill you get something

[Xerothe0th]

does anyone know how to actully make stick dudes do this?

[Apapilootoe]

write under if(Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)) _x-=speed } if you want the movie clips go up and down. if(Key.isDown(Key.UP)){ _y-=speed } if(Key.isDown(Key.DOWN)){ _y+=speed } I am totally figure it out.

[LegalAndFreeSadboy]

;( does anybody know how to move a character with mouse?

PLEASE REPLY

[JSK29rules]

do you mean follow the mouse or be the mouse, and if follow the mouse, in what way and ill see if i know

[fude45]

great video thank narration would be nice and some further explanation for beginners such as my self

[mariutoo]

onClipEvent(load) { speed=7 } onClipEvent(enterFrame) { if(Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)) _x+=speed } onClipEvent(enterFrame) { if(Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)) _x-=speed } put on this one this work PD our one dont work bitch

[AdobeFlashTutorials]

view my tutorials for a better RPG.

[MaultraMedia]

DONT WORK BITCH!

[Forsaken321wow]

MaultraMedia, don't call other people "bitch" because you're too STUPID to follow their tutorials :). And please learn grammar. "Doesn't work" :)

[thevideotutorialman]

what is the code?? i can't copy it and my keyboard is f**ked up

[SmellyMonkeyFeces]

Thanks

[Petrifyer]

My character unfortunately also does not move. I entered the script as you said it (Even though I capsed the "left" because it needs to be) and it stated a pretty long list of errors.

Most of them speak of "undefined property" which is a mystery to me.

[Leathertoast]

What the hell? I did everything this tutorial said and my character won't move at all.

[barfyspartan]

wow this is a walk in the park compared to C++

[Lyserinc]

HOW DO YOU MAKE IT JUMP?!

[wolf333444]

help me anybody, i cant make him go up or down

[Javier08081995]

very easy, exactly the same, but to go up is UP and y+ and to go down is DOWN and y-, i'm not sure.

[alig96]

If you want him/her to go up down put this in:

if(Key.isDown(Key.UP)){

_y-=speed;

}

if(Key.isDown(Key.DOWN)){

_y+=speed;

}

[jemar200]

I CANT MAKE him go down

[wolf333444]

ooooooooooooooooh....your not supposed to make him...hes on the ground :/ lolololol! XD

[jemar200]

im not making exact copy of the game i just wanted movment codes so actually nooooooooooooooo he isnt on the ground so think before u talk smart one and i see u said exact same thing so ya shut up

[Dominator1212]

well u didnt specify that

so ya shut up

[jemaster800]

What if you want the movement to be like... a man walking or something you know... animated

[somehominid]

how do you make it jump?

[xxtylerxx1]

onClipEvent(load){ speed=7; } onClipEvent(enterFrame){ if(Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)){ _x+=speed; } if(Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)){ _x-=speed; } }

[BenneyBoy444]

Isn't it like this? onClipEvent(load) { speed=7; } onClipEvent(enterFrame) { if(Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)) { _x+=speed; } } onClipEvent(enterFrame) { if(Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)) { _x-=speed; } }

[Sa1Productions]

its the same

[TheBatchGuy]

put them after a statement or function and after the block of code

[danieboy777]

i'm confused how do i know exacly where to put the { and the } ?

[LastRoundEffort2]

You put them either at the end of the text on that line or on a line after text and 1 backspace

[kikiandrei]

[runonacow]

onClipEvent(load){ speed=7; } onClipEvent(enterFrame){ if(Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)){ this._x+=speed; } if(Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)){ this._x-=speed; } }

[Superawesomecoffee]

[totalanimefanatic]

I feel really stupid asking this, but I just decided that I wanted to make flash games not even ten minutes ago, so:

How do you open flash?

rofl

[Crsttarocks]

haha wow thanks!!

[PivotyPivoty]

Watch my newest video on how to turn in different directions.

[PivotyPivoty]

onClipEvent(load) { speed=7; } onClipEvent(enterFrame) {if(Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)){ _x+=speed; } if(Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)){ _x-=speed; }} Make sure your using actionscript 2.0!

[Xsilverbolt]

for all u guys who have flash mx and u cant right on the script there should be a button in the corner on the actions to change from normal to expert mode

[mongolman741]

i got stuk on the last part but i finaly got at last by the way thanks

[HackTutorials]
