Woopsie, me again, I found the answer to my own question, the
_root.coin._y = Math.random()*400+50;
is basically setting up the area where your coin can pop to, so I changed the code to
_root.coin._y = Math.random()*280+50;
on my coin actions and it worked like a charm.By decreasing the numbers I decreased the coin teleport area.
Also, expirement with X and Y coordinates if you want your coin to go all over the place!

Thanks for the free tuts emanuel

Dear, Emanuel feronato, Italian geek and PROgrammer, or any PROgramar who sees this and can help me out

I love your tutorial, and have been making horribly difficult levels for my friends to attempt to beat, they love it! Unfortunately, I have a problem! On one of my levels, I have three coins with instances coin, coin_2, and coin_3, all of which are programmed to teleport randomly when touched by the character and certain tweened killing environments. Unfortunately, they occasionally teleport outside the wall program, this is a huge dilemma, as it makes it nearly impossible to get any higher than 5 points!

I have a theoretical code that I think would probably solve the problem:

onClipEvent(enterFrame){
if (_root.coin.hitTest(outside stage)){
_root.coin._y = Math.random()*400+50;
}
but, it is full of errors, can you help me?

Also, can you make a tut for highscores? I want my friends to be able to compare highscores, and I didn’t see a section covering it when I skimmed ahead in the tutorial.

Thanks for reading!
Please post back!

Yeah, hey. Thanks a lot for helping me! This game I made is really cool with your help. I added some things and removed the ones I didn’t want, added new character, a main menu, and now it’s great! Thanks!

Like Austin, I need to make a solid border/surface that is not deadly, so my ninja will not fall out of the playing area.

ATM I have removed gravity because it was making my friends go “WTF” But I need gravity for my ninja to “jump”.

Please feel free to email me.

Lemony Emily :)

Oh and btw Austin im only 12 ;P

Instead of
score = 0;
on the frame, do,
var score = 0;
