How can I create Dad n' me (http://www.pimp-lounge.misterbling.com/dad-n-me-p-63.html) style movement?

[SacrificialLamb]

will you would have some thing like


if (Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)){
_root.man._x+=10
}
if (Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)){
_root.man._x+=10
}
if (Key.isDown(Key.UP)){
//you might like to add in code to scale the unit here
_root.man._y+=3
_root.backGround._y-=3
}
if (Key.isDown(Key.DOWN)){
//you might like to add in code to scale the unit here
_root.man._y-=3
_root.backGround._y-=3
}
Then you would need some swap depth thing in there so the right people are behind each other, and make it so that you can only attack some one within so much X and less Y

Not really helpful but thanks for the idea of SwapDepths
Actually searching swapDepths(); is actually the missing piece of the puzzle using the source of this tutorial:

Could you explain what you mean by, "Not really helpful"?
It IS how a basic engine that looks the same way like Dad 'n me is built.
I mean, your question is a bit widespread, so this is the answer your getting. Deal with it.

As in something he said in his answer was really helpful, but the code wasn't. I never said I wasn't thankful for it.
