How about you actually try to learn some Actionscript, and fix it yourself man. We're not the "Here's code, please fix it" forum. We'll help you only if you put some effort in helping yourself. Ask more specific questions.

[Squize]

Cnex, please take a couple of minutes to read the Read Me guide, it has some useful tips for posting which will help people to help you.

Squize.

That should be a title of a book. (due to capitalization).

What you could do to make it scroll with the character (like mario) is say:

If character is in the middle of the screen (you walk to middle)
moveWithScreen is true.

then with your character movement you can add if moveWithScreen is true, then move the screen, not the character.



thats the basic framework of how I would go about doing it.


Edit, this is very general. tune it the way you want it to be. Just trying to steer you in the right direction (while you stay in the center of the screen )

Yeah corey is a friend of mine who uses flash and is new to it and he is actually starting to learn to follow tutorials and learn scripts himself.

thank you guys, i hope he actually listens to you guys when you say it because he barely listens to me. he does this all the time to me.

well anyway samvillian he already knows that but he wants to know how, i have told him to replace everywhere it tells the movieclip to move with making the movieclips with the walls in it move.

by the way when you say put some effort into it, i wish he would because half the stuff he makes he rips of tutorial FLA files.

so corey, remember I (and many others) have used flash for 2 years and taught my(or our) self to write and create the scripts.

or we used a tutorial.

or we asked for help because our script wasn't correct.

sorry corey, i can't really help. i am quite sick of you asking me to edit your FLA files to make them work. i told you just to scrap this since you practically didn't make it and start from your own knowledge.

so hw do u make it have he guy in the middle all the time?

He's a friend of yours.... and you don't wanna help him... so you threw him at us.... It sorta sounds like you yourself don't know how to do it since you took the time to write that long post, when you coulda just answered it...



wow. I will not help.

[Cnex Industries]

so wat i do?

[Pazil]

Well, for starters, start to actually know what the hell you're doing with code. Check out tutorials, and read them. If you don't understand them, keep studying them until you do. Copy and pasting code won't get you anywhere.

As soon as you have the knowledge to ask us something more specific, and when you've tried it yourself, post some code, and we'll see what we can do...

[Cnex Industries]

ok hw can i cntre the guy hres the code:

yspeed = 0;
xspeed = 0;
gravity = 0.2;
rotationspeed = 0;
power = 1.1;
friction = 0.9;
fly.onEnterFrame = function() {
    while (ground.hitTest(fly._x, fly._y, true)) {
        fly._y--;
    }
    while (ground.hitTest(fly._x-25, fly._y-25, true)) {
        fly._x++;
        xspeed = 0;
    }
    while (ground.hitTest(fly._x+25, fly._y-25, true)) {
        fly._x--;
        xspeed = 0;
    }
    while (ground.hitTest(fly._x, fly._y-fly._width, true)) {
        fly._y++;
        yspeed = 0;
    }
    if ((_root.ground.hitTest(fly._x, fly._y+1, true))) {
        yspeed = 0;
    }
    xspeed *= friction;
    this._x += xspeed;
    rotationspeed *= friction;
    this._rotation = 0+rotationspeed/2;
    this._y += yspeed;

    if (Key.isDown(37)) {
        xspeed -= power;
        rotationspeed += power*xspeed/2;
    } else if (Key.isDown(39)) {
        xspeed += power;
        rotationspeed += power*xspeed/2;
    }
    if (Key.isDown(38)) {
        yspeed -= power;
        fly._y -= 0.2;
    }
    if (Key.isDown(49)) {
        _root.total = _root.total + 100;
        fly.gotoAndPlay(5)
    }
    if (Key.isDown(50)) {
        _root.total = _root.total + 100;
        fly.gotoAndPlay(40)
    }
    
    if (yspeed<0) {
        yspeed *= friction;
    }
    yspeed += gravity;
};

um....
yeah. its not i don't wanna help him.
its that i can't help him and i had no idea.

i told him that i had no idea but he continued to ask me and send the FLA.

that is why i said i am sick of him sending FLAs.

i didn't throw him at you...

i told him if he needs help here's a good place.

but i didn't know he would continue to put in no effort.




and to corey, try to write your own code PLEASE?

and if it doesn't work put it here.

instead of ignoring everybody and continuing.

[dVyper]

Try this:

import flash.media.game.*;

var game:CopiedGame = new CopiedGame();
game.player.centreGuy(); 

If not, try this:

import your.own.code;
etc... 

But seriously, you might want to look into moving the stage in the opposite direction to the player. Perhaps that might work

[samvillian]

if(player._x >= 275){
level._x -= speed;
player._x = 275;
}else{
player._x += speed;
}


..........wow.... expand on that, its just a basic idea. I just didn't want this to be a flame war.
