well i used the "RPG'ish PLATFORMER'ish tutorial" scripting and i then added
on (keyPress "<Left>") {
gotoAndStop("player", 1);
}
on (keyPress "<Right>") {
gotoAndStop("player", 2);
}
on (keyPress "<Up>") {
gotoAndStop("player", 3);
}
on (keyPress "<Down>") {
gotoAndStop("player", 4);
}
on (release, keyPress "<Space>") {
gotoAndStop("player", 5);
}
also the accual animations are in clips in each of the frames of the player movie clip
sorry that i couldnt get the otter scripting cause its through a few other clips but their not the problem
