Description
[IMPORTANT EDIT!!!]this tutorial is horrifically glitchy if you try and use flash 8, and there are lots of things I want to change, so I will be making another tut to replace this soon, as soon as I figure out how to make it work in flash 8
as a temporary solution, if you are using this code in flash 8, choose 'publish to flash player 7' and it should work
[Part2 Link]
My first tutorial, probobally not too good, let me know what you think.
If you need any help, just ask me here, it is likely there may be compability issues between different versions of flash, so if you get any error reports, let me know what they are and what version of flash you use.
If you want an example of this type of things application (other than making a REALLY cool game) check out my website, also what I'm teaching has no bugs (unlike my website) or at least when I test it.
Good luck, I want to see some brilliant games!
[Edit]
I should probobally let you know what I will cover in the whole tutorial;
-How to run around a (sort of) 3D world
-Jumping from platforms to platforms
-classic enemy killing (JUMP ON THEM!)
-Basic enemy AI
That is the basic area... I think it will be enough to get you started on making some brill flash games!
part 2 coming soon!

Awesome Tutorial, about to check out part 2 now... however I felt the need to mention that I lost the island in the demo >.>; So if you hear reports of a random island in antarctica... it was probably my fault.

I should prolly warn you against making a game using the methods I give out here though, but basically if you ignore my whole 'timer movieclip' philosophy and instead put your code in an onEnterFrame() function on the timeline it should still work out I think
