[AS3] looking for a tutorial for the basics of a scrolling RPG

[Ciubhran]

As it reads in topic, I am looking for a tutorial for the basics of a scrolling RPG, where the frame is centered on the moving character, and the background moves.

Any tips?

I'd start with googling "make side scrolling rpg"

Other than that, you might wanna be a bit more specific. Are you asking about how to make the background, how to have it scroll, how to have your sprites interact with it? There are a lot of things that need to be done.

If you intend of having a grand epic rpg, I would suggest you learn a lot about code optimization, something many of my past games have trouble with, due to the number of objects on stage at any one time.

Code optimisation will not work very well. You need to learn something called a tile based movement system. I started a thread asking about this. You can view it here: http://www.actionscript.org/forums/showthread.php3?t=193782
