If I understand what you're saying, you would like to accomplish something like this?

 

(Quick example I made) http://www.swfcabin.com/open/1363350906

 

It would be easier to help if you supplied some code.

WAYT WAT ARE YOU DOING. SRSLY. Donut use Actionscript 2 bro. I'm telling you right now, if you want to get serious about game design and programming, grab some FlashDevelop and learn AS3. It saves your life. On the other hand, if you're just programming small games to show to your friends and whatnot, this is somewhat okay. Actionscript 3 is just so much more organized and easy to use. I would beglad to help if you could describe the problem a bit better.

yes just what i want i will get the codes and the frames the sprites are on too this will help

 

 

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
 if (Key.isDown(37)) {//left
  this.gotoAndStop(2)
  _root.direction = "left"
  if(this.hitTest(_root.left)){
   this._x += 8
   }
  this._x -= 8
 } else {
  
  if (Key.isDown(39)) {//right
   this.gotoAndStop(4)
   _root.direction = "right"
   if(this.hitTest(_root.right)){
   this._x -= 8
   }
   this._x += 8
   } else {
         if (Key.isDown(65)) {//fly left
  this.gotoAndStop(6)
  _root.direction = "left"
  if(this.hitTest(_root.left)){
   this._x += 8
   }
  this._x -= 8
     }else{
      
      if (Key.isDown(68)) {//fly right
   this.gotoAndStop(8)
   _root.direction = "right"
   if(this.hitTest(_root.right)){
   this._x -= 8
   }
   this._x += 8
   } else {
      
      
     if(_root.direction == "right"){
      this.gotoAndStop(3)
     }
     if(_root.direction == "left"){
      this.gotoAndStop(1)
      
      if(_root.direction == "right"){
      this.gotoAndStop(7)
     }
     if(_root.direction == "left"){
      this.gotoAndStop(5)
      }}}}}}}

 

the frames the fast flying are on are 10 for left and 12 for right and still (not moving) is 9 for left and 11 for right oh! do not forget hit tests for this too i will get the hit test codes too

 

onClipEvent(enterFrame){
 if(this.hitTest(_root.rainbow)){
 if(Key.isDown(39)){
 _root.rainbow._x = _root.rainbow._x - 8
 }
 if(Key.isDown(37)){
 _root.rainbow._x = _root.rainbow._x + 8
 }
  if(Key.isDown(68)){
 _root.rainbow._x = _root.rainbow._x - 8
 }
 if(Key.isDown(65)){
 _root.rainbow._x = _root.rainbow._x + 8
 }
}
}

 

i could if i get these codes right make here run too just use the same key lay out then hit test it is well but stick to the fly one and i will need to know the hittest is well thanks

I'm not completely sure what you're asking for, but here's some code I wrote up:

 

 

onClipEvent (load) {
    var speed:Number = 8;
    var rSpeed:Number = 12;
    var moving:Boolean = false;
    var running:Boolean = false;
    var flying:Boolean = false;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
    
    if (Key.isDown(16)) {
        running = true;
    } else {
        running = false;
    }
    
    if (Key.isDown(37)) {
        //Walking Left
        this._xscale = 100;
        if (running == false) {
            if(flying == false)
            {
            this.gotoAndStop(2);
            }
            this._x -= speed;
        } else {
            if(flying == false)
            {
            this.gotoAndStop(3);
            }
            this._x -= rSpeed;
        }
        moving = true;
    } else if (Key.isDown(39)) {
        //Walking Right
        this.gotoAndStop(2);
        this._xscale = -100;
        if (running == false) {
            if(flying == false)
            {
            this.gotoAndStop(2);
            }
            this._x += speed;
        } else {
            if(flying == false)
            {
            this.gotoAndStop(3);
            }
            this._x += rSpeed;
        }
        moving = true;
    }
    if (Key.isDown(38)) {
        //Flying Left
        flying = true;
        if (running == false) {
            this.gotoAndStop(4)
        } else {
            this.gotoAndStop(5)
        }
        this._y -= speed;
        moving = true;
    } else if (Key.isDown(40)) {
        //Flying Right
        flying = true;
        if (running == false) {
            this.gotoAndStop(4)
        } else {
            this.gotoAndStop(5)
        }
        this._y += speed;
        moving = true;
    }
    if (!Key.isDown(37) && !Key.isDown(38) && !Key.isDown(39) && !Key.isDown(40)) {
        moving = false;
    }
    if (moving == false) {
        this.gotoAndStop(1);
    }
    
    if (!Key.isDown(38) && !Key.isDown(40))
    {
        flying = false;
    }
    
}
 

 

 

 

Frame 1: Idle

Frame 2: Walk

Frame 3: Run

Frame 4: Fly

Frame 5: Fast Fly

@Swick

 

no just the shift key to move left to right

 

i have a mc with 16 frames all the even frames have movements on them and all the odd frames have it idle and it is left,left,right,right ect.. so  

 

frame1 stand left    -    frame2 walk left  

frame3 stand right  -    frame4 walk right

frame5 stand left    -    frame6 fly left  

frame7 stand right  -   frame8 fly right 

frame9 stand left    -    frame10 flyfast left   

frame11 stand right  -  frame12 flyfast right 

frame13 stand left    -  frame14 dash left  

frame15 stand right  - frame16 dash right

 

    this is what the standing frames are for

     if(_root.direction == "right"){
this.gotoAndStop(3)
}
if(_root.direction == "left"){
this.gotoAndStop(1)

if(_root.direction == "right"){
this.gotoAndStop(7)
}
if(_root.direction == "left"){
this.gotoAndStop(5)
}}}}}}}

 

ok is this in as3 or 2 i am useing 2 so change the fames to the numbers i have and thefirst bit of code is the vars ok you have done the code but the left and right are the same code when they should be diffrent i will see if i can work with this plus do i have to put these vars on the MC iswell as the varable frame not in the mc

Code is the spawn of Satan. It's a shame it's so useful though. I haven't used Flash's code since high school and even then that was the basics. Sorry for being no help.

[NeverPony 274]

Why do you have 'stand left' and 'stand right' repeated four times on different frames? On top of that, there is no reason to have an individual left and right frame. You can simply flip the movieclip when needed by using the xscale property.

 

if(_root.direction == "right"){

this.gotoAndStop(3)
}
if(_root.direction == "left"){
this.gotoAndStop(1)

if(_root.direction == "right"){
this.gotoAndStop(7)
}
if(_root.direction == "left"){
this.gotoAndStop(5)
}

 

Also, what is going on here. You have the same if statements twice, meaning only the latter frame will be used in either of these circumstances.

 

Updated example with a bit of animation added: http://www.swfcabin.com/open/1363808642

There are only three frames in this sample.

 

Example code

 

var speed = 1;

var xSpeed = 0;

var ySpeed = 0;

var xSpeedCap;

var ySpeedCap;

var pScale = player._xscale;

 

player.stop();

 

_root.onEnterFrame = function()

{    

 //////////////

//Speed Caps//

//////////////

 

if(Key.isDown(16)) //Shift

{

xSpeedCap = 10;

ySpeedCap = 10;

}

else

{

xSpeedCap = 3;

ySpeedCap = 3;

}

 

if(xSpeed > xSpeedCap)

{

xSpeed = xSpeedCap;

}

if(xSpeed < -xSpeedCap)

{

xSpeed = -xSpeedCap;

}

if(ySpeed > ySpeedCap)

{

ySpeed = ySpeedCap;

}

if(ySpeed < -ySpeedCap)

{

ySpeed = -ySpeedCap;

}

 

 ////////////

//Movement//

////////////

if(!Key.isDown(68) && !Key.isDown(65))

{

player.gotoAndStop(1);

}

 

if(Key.isDown(68)  ) //Right

    {

player._xscale = pScale;

xSpeed += speed;

player.gotoAndStop(2);

if(Key.isDown(16))

{

player.gotoAndStop(3);

}

    }

else{d.gotoAndStop(1);}

 

    if(Key.isDown(65) ) //Left

    {  

player._xscale = -pScale;

xSpeed -= speed; 

player.gotoAndStop(2);

if(Key.isDown(16))

{

player.gotoAndStop(3);

}

    }

  else{a.gotoAndStop(1);}

 

    if(Key.isDown(87)) //Up

    {    

ySpeed -= speed;   

    }

   else{w.gotoAndStop(1);}

   

    if(Key.isDown(83)) //Down

   {  

ySpeed += speed;

    }

 

//Friction

if(!Key.isDown(65) && !Key.isDown(68) || Key.isDown(65) && Key.isDown(68))

{

player.gotoAndStop(1);

xSpeed *= 0.7;

if(xSpeed < 0.01 && xSpeed > -0.01)

{

xSpeed = 0;

}

}

if(!Key.isDown(87) && !Key.isDown(83) || Key.isDown(87) && Key.isDown(83))

{

ySpeed *= .7;

if(ySpeed < 0.01 && ySpeed > -0.01)

{

ySpeed = 0;

}

}

 

player._x += xSpeed;

player._y += ySpeed;

}

if think you have miss understod me i do not what the xscale function is a side scroler so it is only going left to right not up and down i shoul of made this clear plus those codes are use to stop the image jumping back e.g i move right with out these codes it jumps back to left my starting frame this is so it stays right or left and it is in diffrent movements ok i will show you what it is heres the link: http://www.swfcabin.com/open/1363939877
