Hate the music? Get into one of the tutorials and mouse over menu to turn it off.

This isn't just your standard tutorial. It covers enough actionscript to get beginners on their feet, give programmers experianced in other languages a quick start and even help you remember if you haven't scripted in a while. Even if your a pro this tutorial may teach you something new. It contains four primary sections: a conceptual actionscript section to teach basic concepts of actionscript, applied actionscript with code samples if you need something quickly, a quiz to reinforce the conceps you learned, and a more advanced section which gives you the basics of more advanced concepts so you can understand them and learn more about them.

It was very informative and is helping me learn the basics of Action Script. I was so intimidated to do this Action Script stuff and finally bit the bullet.The way you present it makes it digestible and the music was good too :3

I recommended this tut for the tutorial collections! Thanks again!

I've read other tutorials, but this is the first one that mentions the While Loops. I was wondering what the best way was to keep the game running continuously :)

Many other concepts are explained in a very simple way. It's much easier to understand than trying to read the Actionscript documentation. Especially when all you need to know are basic game concepts.

very good but i found a glitch in your code. in your platformer advanced movment area the code you put up has three errors. 1. you closed the enter frame to soon and gives a glitch saying that the statement
if (this._y == stage.height) {
vy = 0;
gravity = 0;
needs to be in onClipEvent handler.
2. all of your
if (key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)) {
the first key isnt capitalized and the program doesnt understand that key and Key are the same thing.
3. your hitTest you said to make a line and name it ground yet you programmed it
if (_root.guy.hitTest(_root.floor)){
when if you name the line ground it should be
if (_root.guy.hitTest(_root.ground)){
otherwise awesome job learned alot from this tutorial
