The first block of code doesn’t work on its own because the jump variable and function aren’t identified yet. Also, for the jumping math, I just use jumpSpeed += 1, and it looks fine.
For those who ask where to put code etc., I suggest learning your basics before tackling something this advanced. :P

@Dave – The math is really not that crazy. No more than a little arithmetic. Go through it calculating jumpSpeed frame by frame. Heck, you could even graph it :) That way you’ll really understand what’s going on (much better than if someone just told you).

Every time I get it to put in the first code it says
**Error** Scene=Scene 1, layer=actions, frame=1:Line 14: The class ‘Event’ could not be loaded.
function moveChar(event:Event):void{

**Error** Scene=Scene 1, layer=actions, frame=1:Line 30: The class ‘KeyboardEvent’ could not be loaded.
function checkKeysDown(event:KeyboardEvent):void{

**Error** Scene=Scene 1, layer=actions, frame=1:Line 48: The class ‘KeyboardEvent’ could not be loaded.
function checkKeysUp(event:KeyboardEvent):void{

Total ActionScript Errors: 3 Reported Errors: 3

If you have any suggestions, please tell me.
