[Wrongfire]

I need some help with a code. im trying to make a sidescroller. I got this code online. whats wrong with it? says that the syntax error is on line 7, function moveMan()
any help is appreciated.

stop();
function initGame() {
attachMovie("man", "man", 999999);
man._x = 275;
man._y = 350;
}
funtion moveMan() {
if (man._currentFrame>4) {
dx = 0;
} else if (Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)) {
dx = dgspeed;
man.gotoAndStop("right");
} else if (Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)) {
dx = -dgspeed;
man.gotoAndStop("left");
} else {
dx = 0;
man.gotoAndStop("normal")
}
rect._x += dx;
if (man._x<45) {
man._x = 45;
}
if (man._x<650) {
man._x = 650;
}
if (bgspeed<5) {
bgspeed += .05;
}
}

Dont know how you didnt see that. XD but, its okay. We all make mistakes.

Good luck with your platformer, even though i'd rather make my own code.

thanks. but i have another problem, if anyone knows how to fix it.
Ok i have my char made with all the codes to turn left right and to move there.
and on this website it says to make a circle, and make its alpha=0. the code for this circle is:

onClipEvent(load) {
_root.initGame();
}
onClipEvent(enterFrame) {
_root.moveMan();
}

problem is, it sends my character to the corner of the screen, anyone know why?

yes that's exactly what it does...

man._x = 275;
man._y = 350;

i think you need to learn actionscript, or your game is going nowhere

lol, yeah, it would be nice to know... cant find a place to learn it. those are coordinates right? if so then i can figure this out. thanks.

yes. _x is the X line. Which is from right to left 0 Being right.
_y is top down. 0 being top.

You can always try AS: MAIN to learn AS.

aww, i thought i figured it out. i put in

man._x = 18.0;
man._y = 167.5;

as the new coordinates. but when i test movie, hes still in that corner. this website lies, says it should work perfectly... Thanks for that link, if i cant figure it out ill just delete it all and remake using AS: Basic

Sweet, thats better. I learnt by some of the tuts on AS: Main, and now working on a game all by myself mastering my own techniques. Good luck!
