Did you made the character body in flash, or in another program?

[Borris123PSN]

@999tiaguinho In Flash

[joshanator1]

Borris, do you know if actionscript 3.0 has a step through function?

[Borris123PSN]

@joshanator1 I'm not sure what you mean. Do you mean, a function to step through objects? if so, then you will have to make it

1+1=10

[Borris123PSN]

@ClTIZEN LOL!!!!! so true. and 1+1+1 = 11

@999tiaguinho i have the same question

did u gt answrd??

[JEFFhltn]

@Borris123PSN not a bad animation job, either, if I do say so myself. :D

[Buddaman990]

hey could you perhaps link us to a notepad document with all the code?

[nofatchxplzthx]

hey i was wondering when you were going to make the second part for this one

[nofatchxplzthx]

@MrMinikk3 on the last frame in the animation, set an action to the frame "stop();"

[nofatchxplzthx]

1+0+1+0 = 10 actually...

[DarkSamus993]

For those of you wondering how he got his character to rotate, see 7:40 of the video. The piece of code that does this is Line 66 under the Right Key is down condition (player_mc.scaleX=1;) and Line 71 under the Left Key is down condition (player_mc.scaleX=-1;) in his coding. You may have to change the value of 1 to work with your character otherwise it will appear warped (I ended up using 2 and -2 accordingly). Hope this clears up the confusion for some people.
