Hm. Well not sure how to fix it then. without having to place the x,y coordinates every frame. What I used to do when making platformer games in as2 with this code was to place the start of the level where the previous level ended. It's a easy trick, but probably not what you want.
If you want bigger levels than just one screen, you can also add scrolling to the engine, which I do in this tutorial: [link]
hope it helps

To fix the dieing thing (im not sure about the code 100%) just make a layer with name it restart box. make a huge invisible box under the level and make it a movieclip but this coding into it!Go into its properties and add _root.wall
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if ([character instance name goes here].hitTest(_root.wall)) {
trace("touching");
[character instance name goes here].x=[put the x value of where the character starts at]
[character instance name goes here].y=[put the y value of where the character starts at]
}
}

haha same. I was a bit like "well... this is awkward"

You know you can replace the tutorial right? i mean having to check in the comments for the right codes is a bit misleading.
You do happen to be the first to come up in a search of "making a 2d platformer in flash" BTW.

nice tutorial worked for me, but not immediately...for those having problems make sure your using actionscript 2 and when you go to paste the main code make sure it is on the movieclip and not the frame in the timeline

When you make a movie clip, Double-click the Movie clip. Now you get inside it. Don't think all your frames are removed kid! Now you can give the Movie Clip some / a key-frame(s)! Now to get back to the actual movie scene, Just click "Scene 1" at the top.

You double click on the movieclip and it will come up with a timeline inside of it.

I'm pretty new to flash, and I have some questions. First, I have my character sprites and the ground made, yet when I hit play it just cycles through them in a movie. How do I get it to play like a game?
Also, do I need to put in "stop();" in every frame of the running animation?
Thanks. I know I'm a noob. >_<'
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
No, you do need to put stop(); somewhere, but NOT. IN. THE. RUNNING. Animation for god sake. Go to scene 1 and double click the movie clip again to get into it, put "stop();" on every single frame of the animation

um how exactly do we put a walking sequence on 1 frame
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
When you get into the Movie Clip, make the char, now then create another frame (Right click where you want to make frame > Insert frame or "F6".)
Now Don't remove everything and start animating, please be patient (Sorry, My English is a bit bad).
*ALSO MAKE SURE YOU HAVE CONVERTED THE CHAR IN THE FIRST FRAME OF THE CLIP A MOVIE CLIP TOO!* Now in frame 2, Select the char and Press Ctrl+B or Right Click > Break Apart.
If you don't, It will replace the standing animation with the walking one.
Now convert the broken apart char into a movie clip again. It's necessary or you cant do it.
Now double-click the movie clip, Now start animating the walking animation. to get back to the clip, Click "char" or "Character" or whatever you have named the character on the top. To get back to the normal movie scene, Click "Scene 1" at the top.

Make a movie clip with the walking animated, and then add that movie clip on the frame
so it's like this:
Player (movie clip) -> frame 1 contains a movie clip with him walking, so it has multiple frames

Hey, I need help creating a Mario world. I was hoping you could help. I'm not too good with Flash, but figured I'd ask for help anyways. I don't know how to get the cross thingy under my movie, and I'm getting a syntax error on the first line on the ClipEvent. If you can, can you email me? it's mwolstein at yahoo dot com.
Thanks,
Mike

Add a "on" before the ClipEvent.
Also, to move the + you need to double click the movie clip and actually move the content inside the movie clip above the +, so you're not actually moving the +, but the squishable stuff inside it! :)

At the top, he wrote "ClipEvent (load) {". add "on" at the first part of the script, Don't do spaces. no capitals.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Type "on" in the beginning on the code before
ClipEvent (load) {
so it says
onClipEvent (load) {
