What resources should I look at to learn how to create a very simple platform game, with a character who can simply jump on platforms and avoid enemies to reach the end of the level? I have made games like this with other languages but never flash.

how to respond when a rectangle hits another rectangle? I already know how to detect the collision, I just don't know how to respond to it. I'm just trying making a simple side-scrolling platform game where I have platforms I can walk on and bump against on all sides.

I have built a multi-touch application which is based on a Java EE backend and combined with BlazeDS to a Adobe Flex frontend. The application runs on a DIY-Multi-Touch which I built. Now I want to use another solution. The Adobe Flex frontend (with a multitouch library) and the BlazeDS adapter should be replaced by a solution which covers iPhone/iPad, Android and commercial Multi-Touch displays.
The problem is the iPad/iPhone, there is no Flash Player runtime (not the jail-breaked ones), but the application should be runnable also on those devices. So Adobe Flex and a Java frontend (no JVM on the iPhone/iPad) is not possible anymore. At first, starting the developing of the application it was not neccessary, to run it on Apples mobile devices, but this changed So, what can I do, using HTML5? So I can use it for Android and iPhone/iPad. But I also want to make it possible to use it on a commercial multi-touch-display and normal display with a mouse (I only have gestures for one finger, the 2-finger gestures are not neccessary). Are there any frameworks that allow this? Because I do not want to create several frontends (App for iPhone/iPad on Objective-C and a Adobe Flex for all other devices), it would be great if I can build a frontend for all devices.

I would like to develop applications for iPhone and Android devices. Which language it is better to use Java or Flash? I have read that Adobe Flash CSS 5.5 support compatibility for ActionScript on both devices. Will be interesting to know plus and minus sides for both languages? Remember that we have to develop application for both devices, and we have a small part of that application already written in Java.

I'm doing a kind of plataform map, and now I need to make health (3 hearts, like Mario). I tried to do it with hittest but the hearts goes like crazy. Guess I need to make something like invulnerable or I don't know. What I want to do is three hearts, and, if the human touches a spike he loses a hearth.

In my basic platform game I have a "hero" that can walk and jump on the "ground." There is also a door to the next scene, which is the next level.The first scene works fine, but "TypeError: Error #1006: value is not a function. at Charles3_fla::MainTimeline/frame1()" pops up once in the output. It works however, and I'm not worried about it. The second I go throught the door though, Scene 2 opens, but then starts flashing as "TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at Charles3_fla::MainTimeline/onenter()" pops up A LOT in the output. I don't know how to fix it, and would like help. P.S. I am using Adobe CS5 with actionscript 3

I am making a platform game in flash. I have a goal class (the class which contains code for the goal sprite, where when you hit it, it continues to next part of game). Inside the goal constructor, 2 event listeners are added, they are as follows:
addEventListener(Event.ADDED, beginClass);
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, eFrame);
The beginClass function is fine, and only runs once, but eFrame is what checks if the player has hit the goal, so it is constantly running. The problem is, once the player hits the goal, eFrame continues to run, while in a menu describing the next scene to the player. My eFrame function is below.
private function eFrame(event:Event):void{
if(hitTestObject(_root.mcMain)){
var lastScore:int = _root.mainScore;
_root.mainScore = lastScore;
while (_root.lvlHolder.numChildren > 0) {
[Code] .....
Frames 2, 3, 4, are frames with just text and a button that display a message to the player, and then the player hits continue. My problem is that eFrame is still trying to be run, but the class has not been instantiated, and the method is causing extreme amounts of lag once the player continues.

I am creating a 2d platform shooting game. Currently I have my main character walking around left and right and the stage background also moves left and right.
The problem I am having is that if I go to far left the charater just walks 'off stage' and into nothingness but the stage still follows. How can I make it so if the character hits a certain point he just 'stops' and cant go left no more but can go right no problem. I have tried using hitTest with another movieclip but couldnt get it working.[code]...

I am creating a platform game and am getting the following error:#1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object referenceThis error happens when I remove all children from the stage on line 154 of the Robbery.as class. Im guessing that maybe it is still listening for event in the other classes but I'm unsure how to remove these from within the document class.

I am porting my flash games on android. I have ported 3 successfully. But the problem with all of them is they are giving very low frame rate near about 7-8. And I have observed 1 thing that frame rate always varies. Sometimes it goes upto 45 and again in next frame it comes to 3-4 and again goes to 15-16.
I am quite confused. Please let me know if anyone is having any idea about this.

I am trying to develop a sidescroller game in as3. Most of my confusion is coming from my lack of knowledge on the best way to strucutre the classes that control the games flow.For example, what would be the best way to change the game state from the main menu, to the in game state, WITH VISUAL TRANSITION INCLUDED?
The way I'm thinking of doing it now is adding event listeners to buttons, which remove the main menu MC and add a transition MC. Then I add an event listener to the transition MC to watch for the frame label "end of transition". This removes the transition MC and adds the GameContainer MC.

I have gotten to a point with my platform game where I am completely stuck. I have the player movement working fine but the only thing is, it doesn't fall off the blocks.
I have a Floor class which references the Character class and tells it to stop jumping when it is on a block through a hitTestObject. I have tried to research how other games have added functions but can't seem to find one which will work in mine.

I'm making a platform game. The hero can move around, but the enemies are stationary. My problem is that I want the enemies to face the hero. The first enemy behaves correctly, but the subsequent enemies only behave correctly if I kill all the preceding enemies. I have added the hero and the enemies as Objects and put the enemies into an array called enemies. Both the hero and enemy objects have a direction property and an mc property that refers to their movie clips. This for loop gets called every frame.
for(var i:int = 0; i < enemies.length; i++)
{//face hero
if(hero.mc.x < enemies[i].mc.x) enemies[i].direction = -1;
else if(hero.mc.x > enemies[i].mc.x) enemies[i].direction = 1;
enemies[i].mc.scaleX = enemies[i].direction;}

I am working on a platform game and I am having a problem with the script. I have a mc with my character in it named "mcMain", I placed all the script into it. Inside the movie clip I have 20 frames, the first 5 are standing, walking, jumping, crouching, and crawling. Frames 6-20 are an attacking animation. The problem is in frame 20 I want him to go back to frame one and turn off a variable (called "ram") in the movie clip.
The problem is with the variable ram (which is established in the onClipEvent(load) section of the script). I have it turn on when the character attacks and I want it to turn off after the animation is complete. The problem is it is not turning off. I have it targeted but it does nothing. I have tired both a direct and relevant target along with a _parent.ram = false;
Here is the script on the movie clip.
Actionscript Code:
//Establish VariablesonClipEvent (load) {
var speed:Number = 0;var walk:Number = 6;
var run:Number = 12;var grav:Number = 0;
var falling:Number = 0;
var jumped:Boolean = false;var jumpHeight:Number = 23;
[Code] .....
And here is the script inside the movie clip on frame 20
Actionscript Code:
_root.mcMain.ram = false;gotoAndStop(1);

I'm making a platform game in AS3. I've sorted the left,right and jumping movement of my character - apart from one jumpingproblem:When the up arrow key is down it sets the jump var to true.ENTER_FRAME function detects when jump = true and it decreases thecharacters y position by the var velocity while at the same timedecreasing velocity by 1.5px. So my character jumps up to a certainheight then comes down - There is a hit test to stop heump/fall. BUT when the character falls off a platform he can still jumpwhen the up arrow is pressed. I've been racking my brains but I canstop the character from jumping if its falling.

I'm developing a web-based fantasy football game. Most of the game is a straight-forward web application built on top of Linux/Apache/Php/MySQL.
I'm trying to figure out how to implement the draft application. The draft date and time will be scheduled in advance by each league's owner. Up to 32 users may be logged on for a given league's draft, and there is no limit to how many drafts may be happening concurrently. The users will take turns selecting players, and each user's turn will have a time limit. I'd like for all the users to be able to see whose turn it is, how much time that user has left to select a player, who they select, and which players are still available. If there are users in the league who are not logged in during the draft I'd like to be able to detect that and automatically assign players to them rather than waiting for the time to run out on their turn. Ideally I'd also like to have a chat window so the users could chat with one another during the draft.
My background is in desktop application development, so if necessary I could write server code in C#/.NET or Java. As far as I can see these are the options: PHP/AJAX - It seems like it would be possible to have all the state for the draft in the database and have the operations for the draft run in PHP triggered by requests from the clients? I guess in this case the draft doesn't start until at least one user logs in, and it seems like it would be a lot of polling requests to the server if I want everyone notified quickly when a user makes a selection.

I'm just starting out in actionscript 3.0, and I'm trying to create a basic platform game. Since I don't really have time to code it from A to Z, I'm using an 'engine' I found here. I've made a few modifications (mostly deleting stuff I don't need, such as the enemies and the coins). Now I'd like to create a crate that the player character can pick-up, throw, put down and jump on. I've created a new class (Cage.as) for it, based on the player class. When I run the game, the crate is displayed, but it just floats there. I can't figure how to make it interact with gravity (i.e. fall to the ground).
