Needs help... Platforms.

[KougaijiGyumao]

I know, I've went to AS:Main before, and checked out everything I could use there.

I used the ff:
Denvish's movement [left and right] on the second page of the AS:Movement.
AS:Scrolling Background

What I want to do:
I want to make a platform, for this picture, and my problem is, well, I can't make a platform. I need a platform, and a jump AS, but the problem is, whenever I search for it, I always get a platform, jump AS, and walk AS, and that way, I try using the authors [guy who made the jump, and platform] walk AS, but it doesn't work perfectly. So, I try combining [mixing the Denvish's movement and the authors platform and jump AS] But, It doesn't work. So, if someone is kind enough to help me out, please help me understand how to make a platform, and how to make my character jump.

egad, my fingers hurt.

Thanks in advance... I gtg sleep, its past 9pm right now, and my mother's eyeing/eying on me.

First of all, separate the background.

Separate it by floors, platforms then the background, then turn them to MC. Align properly.

Those coins should be also be MC. Just pick one coin then turn to MC. Copy and paste it all over and give it a code like this (I assume you control an MC named mcMario):

onClipEvent (enterFrame){
if (this.hitTest(_root.mcMario)){
// code here what you want to happen when you touch the coins
}
}

Then just apply those tutorials on platforming. I'm too busy to type out, sorry.

Jamming a bunch of tutorials together won't work unless you actually understand what is going on in the code.

I suggest reading those tutes, but actually LEARNING what it is they are teaching, instead of ye olde copy paste.

Yup he's right. The only way to learn something this advanced is to take it in steps. Build your AS knowldege up. You could find/hire somebody to do the scripting for you too. My suggestion is to learn something like the Jump engine then build from there. Good platformers can take a lot of hard work.

Thanks for the help KingScar, and I'll try to find some more things from the tuts found in AS:Main.
