"Great for noobs! :D"

As somebody with no experience of ActionScript at all, this worked wonders for me. All the script worked, I now have a guy running around and jumping etc etc, and I think I can figure out how to include more animations, change the key configurations, etc from the ActionScript you gave me.
Although your forum link doesn't work. And I have a bug: when he jumps right on to a particular platform, he falls straight through it O-o
Good tut though!

"This doesn't work properly"

onClipEvent(enterFrame){
if(falling == true){
velocity += gravity
_y += velocity
}
}

The above Action|Script, featured in the tutorial, doesn't work properly. I've tried everything and nothing's working. I'm getting pissed off now. Does anybody know what I'm doing wrong, and what the correct ActionScript is? If so, PM me.

okay, at the starting it was messed, but I figured it out. new code for the PLAYER

_____________________
onClipEvent (load) {
gravity = 1.5;
velocity = 0;
falling = true;
stop();
speed = 7;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (falling == true) {
velocity += gravity;
_y += velocity;
}
for (i=0; i<99; i++) {
if (this.hitTest("_root.platform" +i)) {
platform = eval("_root.platform" +i);
}
}
if (this.hitTest(platform)) {
if (falling == true) {
_y = platform._y;
velocity = 0;
falling = false;
}
} else {
falling = true;
}
if (Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)) {
this.gotoAndStop(1);
_x -= speed;
}
if (Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)) {
this.gotoAndStop(2);
_x += speed;
}
if (Key.isDown(Key.UP)) {
if (falling == false) {
velocity -= 20;
falling = true;
}
}
}

"Perfect except for one problem..."

My character is doing everything perfectly EXCEPT that he falls right through the platform! Could someone PM me and tell me if I'm doing something wrong with the script or instance names?
