you might wanna try the programming forum.. personally, i dont get that stuff at all. if you get no response there, just goto flashkit.com, they have a bunch of message boards with people who can help.

actionscript goes on any of three different things:

1. a button,
when you put actions on a button, they are triggered when the viewer presses that button. buttons can be set so they perform there actions on not just a mouse click though... i mean things like when they're rolled over, dragged out of, and even when a key is pressed. buttons actions are best for things like point and click games, website interfaces, etc.

2. a frame,
actions on a frame are carried out when the movie reaches that frame. this is best for when you're making movies... games too.. and pretty much anything else.

3. a movieclip,
and these actions can be set to perform by a variety of things; they can run constantly (when set to Enter Frame), just once when the movieclip enters the scene (Load), when the mouse is moved (Mouse Move), when a key is pressed or released (Key Up/Key Down), and a bunch of others. actions on movieclips will definitely be most used in games.

but its really pretty basic. you gotta experiment. it all depends on when and how you want your actions to be performed.

place this code on the wall movieclip:

onClipEvent (keyDown) {
if (Key.getCode(Key.RIGHT)) {
if (_root.rightwall.hitTest(_root.player)) {
_root.player.gotoAndStop("cantmove");
} else {
_root.player.gotoAndStop("walking");
_root.player._x += 5;
}
}
}
onClipEvent (keyUp) {
if (Key.getCode(Key.RIGHT)) {
_root.player.gotoAndStop("standing");
}
}

basically, it says if the player is touching the wall,
have the player movieclip go to the frame "cantmove" when the right key is pressed. if the player isn't touching the wall and the right key is pressed, have the player movieclip goto the frame "walking" with a walking animation, and make them move to the right a bit. when the right key is released, have the player movieclip goto "standing", where the player is just standing.

ah shut the fuck up. why don't you try NOT watching so much tv. anime - and i can only use dragon ball z as an example because it's the only anime cartoon i've ever seen - has gotta be some of the shittiest animation out there. they use the same pictures for entire scenes, and just have the mouths move. anime is bullshit... and you anime-fans are just as bad as those trekkies and star-wars geeks. and i actually agreed with you on things before ECWMark, but not anymore... and wrestling is retarded too.

i don't hate you, but i think you're a cunt. i guess it's cause i don't like people who make topics on favorite fighting video game characters, i don't like anime, and i don't like your slutty signatures that have you loving a different guy every couple days. and don't anyone tell me it's just "cute". but other than all that, there isn't really anything i don't like about you.

onClipEvent (load) {

and it says
Target not found: Target="shit" Base="_level0.shit"

can some1 please tell me what iam doing wrong?

i wouldn't do it the "keypress" way at all.. no need to use buttons. place your actions on a movieclip, using the keyDown method...

onClipEvent (keyDown) {
if (Key.getCode() == Key.SPACE) {
_root.clip.gotoAndStop("jumping");
}
}

just replace "SPACE" with the key you want. and i wouldn't use tell target if you don't have to, either. use the evaluate action, found in Actions > Miscellaneous. it's a blank line of code. then just write down the target path of the clip you want, such as "clip" using the action _root.clip and add on the action to perform on the end... like _root.clip.Play() or _root.clip.gotoAndStop(3) or whatever.

Get over yourself and your style of living, it's called an ego. Yeah man, you're better because you're not a thug.

i think you are misunderstanding me, as well as most of the others here as well. we don't live our lives through cartoons, dumbass; i know i have a life.. i ride bmx when i'm not inside, and pull jackass-esque stunts. personally, i'd choose my bike over the computer anyday. but i'm not gonna ride my entire day.
and we aren't necessarily haters. we make the seemingly "hating" flash movies or games or whatever to express opinions, and to provide people with entertainment. we choose certain people like eminem because we don't like them, we know a lot of other people don't like them, and therefore, we will get better response as well as more self-satisfaction when we use such celebrities as him.
and i never said i was better because i'm not thug; i hate the thugs because they are generally assholes. they smoke weed, pick on kids, steal bikes (which pisses me off more than anything), and do all kinds of other stuff - that's what makes them thugs, not the way they dress or anything. it's just they all tend to dress pretty much the same, so it's easy pick em out. and hell, with that said, i think i am a better person than these thugs.
so go suck a dick, brotha.. oh yeah, i never called you a thug, either.

i'm saying it cause you're so supportive of the rules, yet they say this site is for people 18 and over. i'm not 18 either, but i'm not the one that's so supportive of the rules.

and the only real reason i'm pissed is because you went and ratted this guy out. then you come back and act all happy about it. if the people receiving the bad reviews really are concerned with it, they can report the guy themselves, you don't have to act on their behalf. you haven't even made anything.. or at least anything you've submitted to newgrounds. and hell, if you make something crappy, expect bad reviews. any real flash artist knows that.. i accept all the bad reviews i get.
and about how all the guy's reviews were negative.. maybe he just reviewed movies he didn't like. when i used to write reviews, that's pretty much what i did.

if statements are pretty simple once you get the hang of them...
as you would think, it works like "if this is true, make this happen" or whatever. here's how i'd do the glasses thing..

if (_root.glasses == true) {
_root.link.gotoAndPlay("outside");
} else {
_root.link.gotoAndStop("inside");
}

you have to put that actionscript where you need it though, like so it performs when you try to go outside without the glasses.
now when link gets the glasses, you'd have to set the variable _root.glasses to true, using an action like this:

_root.glasses = true;

you can also do stuff like check whether a movieclip has passed a certain frame, using something like this..

if (_root.link._currentframe > 10) {
_root.link.gotoAndPlay("outside");
}
