Hi, great stuff. I have used the source and reconstructed a version using entirely .as files because I have just started using FlashDevelop and I can't figure out how to use .fla files. look here http://www.eldwick.org.uk/?q=node/62

Look like a mix of as2 and as3 maybe you should consider using MovieClip(parent) more than _root? and still other few buildup functions with as2

mine says there is “a call to an undifined emptyblock” and “a call to an undifined directblock” how do you fix that?

I found this tutorial incredibly useful for my project. I’m not sure what the others are talking about with needing more information. I’ve successfully used this tutorial to help me finish one of my projects which is developed in C++… it’s nice, generic enough to transcend other languages, and nicely structured.

Keep up the awesome work :)

2 classes, DirectBlock and EmptyBlock, are defined.

In the main timeline (the .fla file), an array is defined containing level information.

Then a loop is entered, which generates blocks (either a DirectBlock or a EmptyBlock) based on the value at each position in the array. The loop also generates coordinates.

QUIZ :

1) Where is the code that causes the color of a non-path block to change?

2) Modify the level so that the path is a straight line.

3) What type of object is roadHolder?
