You can get much interesting movement if you repleace these lines:

if(hero.x-20<mouseX){

hero.x+=5

}

if(hero.x+20<mouseX){

hero.x-=5

}

with this:

var distx:Number = hero.x - mouseX;

hero.x -= distx / 13;

Hey, the simplest jumping logic to follow and it worked for me the very first try! However, I don't understand two little parts in your script:

so when you set the jumped boolean to true, why do we need to raise the hero's y?

hero.y -= 5;

and is 5 just an arbitrary number or does it hold any significance?

My second question, during your ENTER_FRAME event handler, why do I need that loop that loops 10 times and when the hero hits the floor, why do I need to raise it again? hero.y --; Thanks!

Thank you for this, great starting point.

Now Im off to make some enemies, some levels and bonus stuff.

i literally put my mouse arrow thing on top of your mouse arrow thing and it was the same size lol..and good joke in the beginning lol.

It didn't work for me.

I was able to do it. Im trying to make game apps for Android. A few things, 1 If your character is behind then your registration point is not on the bottom. 2nd i can copy my AS3 code in an email if you want just pm me, 3rd, its, AS3(ActionScript3) so yes it works on CS5. Thats the version I have. Im working on the hit point for walls now, I havent tried it just yet, but copy your X hitpoint script for Y and see if that works. that might give you a "roof" Im a child when it comes to AS3... sorry

[hamidagasi]

thank you but it doesnt work
