Have a look at

http://www.actionscript.org/tutorials/beginner/games_in_flash/index.shtml

and then try to apply some of your own logic to it, to get the kind of game that you want it to be.

hi i'm making a platform game and I 'm trying to get my main character to

move left and play the animation I made for left but when he stops it goes to

standing left and if he moves right it plays tha animation and if he stops he

facing left so far I have this It works until I ad the walking left and the stop looking right

onClipEvent(enterFrame) {
if (Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)) {
this._x += 5;
gotoAndStop("runR");
}else{
gotoAndStop("sr");
}
if(Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)) {
this._x -= 5;
gotoAndStop("runL");
} else {
gotoAndStop("sl");
}
}

One thing that you could do, is instead of two seperate animations, you could have one animation and one stopping pose. Then you could use code like this

onClipEvent(enterFrame) {
if (Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)) {
this._x += 5;
this._xscale = 100
this.play();
} else if (Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)) {
this._x -= 5
this._xscale = -100
this.play()
} else {
this.gotoAndStop(1)
}
}

Which stops the person facing the direction they last faced, and it means less animating, as it just switches which way the character is facing.
