game troubles

[lpfann2]

I want to make a game, a platformer, but most the tutorials dont make sense to me, plus sometimes the codes that i copy dont work, and i dont know how to fix them to make them work.

I wish there were tutorials on learning actionscript in general - i know some, like the basics(gotoAndPlay();)

ANYWAY, i want to know the codes for making the character move in the direction hes facing(only left and right in my case) and also to jump and have another animation of him jumping when he jumps. Plus the screen has to scroll olviously. Thats basically all, i can kinda do hittests but i can definatly find a lot of tuts on them on the web somewhere

Learn Actionscript dude don't Copy paste codes

otherwise your going to spend eternity asking questions on here and people will flame once they realize it's been copied and pasted and not written
start simple learn variables and if statements and loops and get a good feel of it all
