Actionscript 2.0 Game Creation tutorial: Character Animations

In this nugget of pure, untainted knowledge, one learns how one makes a character animate while running in an actionscript 2.0 game.

Finished product- http://spamtheweb.com/ul/upload/060210/62867_runimation.php

Code-

On character MC:

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)) {
this._xscale = 100;
this._x += 6;
this.gotoAndStop(2);
}
if (Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)) {
this._xscale = -100;
this._x -= 6;
this.gotoAndStop(2);
}
if (!Key.isDown(Key.LEFT) and (!Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT))) {
this.gotoAndStop(1);
}
}

On both frames within the character MC:

stop();

I subed,Man you blow me out,thats nice tut couse you done animated walk,not just a ball or something stupid like that moving around.Would be nice if you done some tut on point and click games like "Hapland" is.I can send you FLA to see how it looks.

Thanks for the subscription! Sadly I do these tutorials far less often than I would like to, so what I do is provide information on small bits of code and then viewers can put these together to make their own games. Sometime in the future, I'll have enough videos for my viewers to take the information from each to create a platformer. So while I wont dedicate a tut on point 'n click games, I might at some point make several different tutorials that can be compiled to make a point 'n click engine
