The coding is right but none of it is explained

There is no point having a tutorial for actionscript if you don't explain the script itself otherwise noobs wont gain anything from this. Those who understand the coding with out your explanation don't need this tute. Those who would see this tute are people who don't know actionscript and are hoping you will explain some. Nothing personal and i don't like giving low scores but "copy this and past it here" does not teach anything

Doesn't teach you much

You can't customize it at all and bend it to your own liking. You never explain what the script does. Someone with less itteligence that me (I can usually decode the script to understand the individual elements) (aka. a noob) would not know what certain elemets do (eg. if(Key.isDown(Key.Right means)) ). You must explain the indivdual elements so that others can be creative and create very inventive games.

This tutorial is ok.

Well im a expert at making flash games and this tutorial wouldnt help me one bit it doesnt explain any of the actions and what they do most likely you got it from another site and but all the bits togeather. And some of the script has bits it doesnt need heres the shortend platform game script:

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
moveSpeed = 10;
if (Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)) {
this._x += moveSpeed;
}
else if (Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)) {
this._x -= moveSpeed;
}
if (Key.isDown(Key.SPACE) && !jumping) {
vel_y = 36;
jumping = true;
}
if (jumping == true) {
vel_y -= 2;
if (vel_y<=-15) {
vel_y = -15;
}
this._y -= vel_y;
}
if (_root.ground.hitTest(this._x, this._y+35, true)) {
vel_y = 0;
jumping = false;
}
this._y += 16;
if (_root.ground.hitTest(this._x, this._y+1, true)) {
this._y -= 16;
}
}

And the shooting one sucks as well each time you fire it cancels the first shot out learn some better coding.

This tutorial has only info for newbies to compy and past code to make a game that the cant understand and dont know what to edit.

Well hey, this tutorial doesnt say "For Experts only". I made this tutorial so that people could get some good actionscript for their games, and learn a little bit during this. Just because you are such a "master" of flash, doesnt mean you have to come in hear and give it a bad grade because it wont help you. I'm sure there are some people who need help with a game, and that would like to use this tutorial.

Try Again

Nice information but you never say that the ActionScript does, the navigation is also VERY poor.
