I’m sorry, I had to follow your tutorial for my flash project. It was very hard to follow and some information was even missing! I’m 100% sure that my teacher could produce this within a few seconds. And the only reason other people think its good is because they download the source code! Please get better at writing this code, and while your are at it, go to a better site…

Thanks for the tutorial, its collision detection system was just what i was looking for. Wouldn’t it be better to use the following class for movement? (you would of course delete the up and down cases)

package
{
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.events.KeyboardEvent;
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.ui.Keyboard;
import flash.display.Stage;

public class movementengine extends MovieClip

{
private var speed:int = 5;

public function movementengine() {
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, engine);

}
public function engine(event:KeyboardEvent) {

switch(event.keyCode) {

case Keyboard.RIGHT:
this.x=this.x+speed

break;
case Keyboard.LEFT:
this.x=this.x-speed

break;
case Keyboard.DOWN:
this.y=this.y+speed

break;
case Keyboard.UP:
this.y=this.y-speed

break;
}
}
}

}
}
