I added both scripts in the same Action Frame, the second group of script blocks the first group of script. Like: if I put the script for moving left and right first, then below that i put the script for jumping, when i preview the game, the character only jumps. When I put the Jump script first and the movement script second, i can move left and right but not jump. What am I doing wrong?

Very helpful. This is the smoothest jump tutorial I’ve seen. Thanks a lot!

I made a couple changes in order to give the character a higher jump.
In this line:
jumpSpeed *= 1 – jumpSpeedLimit/75;
I changed the 70 to 150, and in this line:
jumpSpeed *= 1 + jumpSpeedLimit/50;
I changed the 50 to 100.

Perhaps you could make it more clear to people how easy it is to adjust the character jump height?

and for you eric you can always use “for examble” :
if (Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)){ ….

or you can visit this website to view Key code values :

the same thing happend to me at first but i knew how to fix it up.
you have to copy the last code instead of the on before it; so the final shape of the code should look like this:

var mainSpeed:Number = 7;
onEnterFrame = function(){ //this function will run every frame (needed for moving the character
if(Key.isDown(37) || Key.isDown(65)){ //if the “A” key or Left Arrow Key is Down
mcMain._x -= mainSpeed;//then the move the guy left
} else if(Key.isDown(39) || Key.isDown(68)){//if the “D” key or Right Arrow Key is Down
mcMain._x += mainSpeed; //then move the guy to the right
}
mainJump();
}
//JUMPING VARIABLES
//whether or not the main guy is jumping
var mainJumping:Boolean = false;
//how quickly should the jump start off
var jumpSpeedLimit:Number = 15;
//the current speed of the jump;
var jumpSpeed:Number = jumpSpeedLimit;
//THE JUMPING FUNCTION
function mainJump():Void{
//if main isn’t already jumping
if(!mainJumping){
if(Key.isDown(38) || Key.isDown(87)){
//then start jumping
mainJumping = true;
jumpSpeed = jumpSpeedLimit*-1;
mcMain._y += jumpSpeed;
}
} else {
//if we’re already jumping, then continue to do so
if(jumpSpeed -jumpSpeedLimit*.2){
jumpSpeed *= -1;
}
}
if(jumpSpeed > 0 && jumpSpeed = Stage.height – mcMain._height){
mainJumping = false;
mcMain._y = Stage.height – mcMain._height;
}
}
}
