my fault i missed to obious action script on the character (lol) hold on lemme check it out bro

[WarrOrange]

beats me but i bet marz could figure it out, but i know he wont download stuff so i will give ya a visual marz, we just got a zelda like character on the general view area. in the frame action script you got a simple stop; function and then on the character you got an action script as such onClipEvent (load) {
step = 5;
ok = true;
}
onClipEvent (keyDown) {
if (Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)) {
_root.man.left.gotoAndPlay(1);
_root.man._x -= step;
_root.mask._x -= step;
_root.big_lab._x += step;
for (i=1; i<=95; i++) {
if (_root.man.mask.hitTest(_root["part"+i])) {
ok = false;
break;
}
}
if (!ok) {
_root.man._x += step;
_root.mask._x += step;
_root.big_lab._x -= step;
ok = true;
}
}
}
onClipEvent (load) {
step = 5;
ok = true;
}
onClipEvent (keyDown) {
if (Key.isDown(Key.UP)) {
_root.man.back.gotoAndPlay(1);
_root.man._y -= step;
_root.mask._y -= step;
_root.big_lab._y += step;
for (i=1; i<=95; i++) {
if (_root.man.mask.hitTest(_root["part"+i])) {
ok = false;
break;
}
}
if (!ok) {
_root.man._y += step;
_root.mask._y += step;
_root.big_bang._y += step;
ok = true;
}
}
}
onClipEvent (load) {
step = 5;
ok = true;
}
onClipEvent (keyDown) {
if (Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)) {
_root.man.right.gotoAndPlay(1);
_root.man._x += step;
_root.mask._x += step;
_root.big_lab._y += step;
for (i=1; i<=95; i++) {
if (_root.man.mask.hitTest(_root["part"+i])) {
ok = false;
break;
}
}
if (!ok) {
_root.man._x -= step;
_root.mask._x -= step;
_root.big_lab._y -= step;
ok = true;
}
}
}
onClipEvent (load) {
step = 5;
ok = true;
}
onClipEvent (keyDown) {
if (Key.isDown(Key.DOWN)) {
_root.man.front.gotoAndPlay(1);
_root.man._y += step;
_root.mask._y += step;
_root.big_lab._y += step;
for (i=1; i<=95; i++) {
if (_root.man.mask.hitTest(_root["part"+i])) {
ok = false;
break;
}
}
if (!ok) {
_root.man._y -= step;
_root.mask._y -= step;
_root.big_lab._y -= step;
ok = true;
}
}
}

have been trying to get the char to work for about 3-4 days now , i give up soon and quit using flash....

[BullDog_Flash]

Dude dont quit using flash man.

The [problem may be hard for you but you dont have to quit flash at all.

Geez you dont know how much rpoblems i run into all the times with flash it unbelievable but you have to go trhough it step by step figure out why it dont work.

Then fix it.

Im looking through your fla now.

Why don't you put this project aside, and work on something else for awhile? Make up a new project that may have similar functions, but not exactly, or even close to being identical, and work on that. Something simple, and quick mind you, then, perhaps you'll figure something out from that project, and then use it in this one, and if not, then at least you can come back with a refreshed mind. I really don't know what's wrong, I haven't had a chance to really look at it, but chances are its something really stupid, that you'll be kicking yourself for months after you figure it out. We all do that. Heck, I get frustrated with my Design Doc on a daily basis, and give up, work on something else, and then come back later, and type like mad.... :D That could be part of the reason its taken like 3 years to come up with what I've got now :!: :D Good luck!

[tiny_87]

ok, thanks for the tips :)
i start a new project and try something else then...
good luck with your projects =)

Okay, so here is my take on your file:

http://www.nitric.net/~pete/flash/Character.swf
http://www.nitric.net/~pete/flash/Character.zip

Bear in mind, i tried to streamline it all, but stopped somewhat short in a bid to make it understandable

***MAIN CHANGES***

1) renamed the sub-character movieClips, so they all shared the same instance name (after all, only 1 is on screen at any given time)

2) changed the code (it was rubbish)

3) got rid of the hitTest-ing. You will probably want to put this back in at some point. But it wasnt necessary for the time being
