Great tutorial. I am also looking for a way to animate each movement like when climbing or jumping.

Just do a hittest between the player and the door, and use the gotoAndStop(); script.

@tommo: Seriously, you’re 13 and you’ve only been programming for a few weeks… I’m 13 and I’ve been programming for 5 years…
Anyways, first, put all of the level into a game movieclip and give it an instance name of mc_game. Then, change “_root” to “this”.
After that, make a function in the root timeline:
clearLevel = function():Void {
for(i in mc_game) {
mc_game[i].removeMovieClip();
}
}

All that basically does is remove every movieclip within mc_game.

Then place into mc_game’s timeline:
if(mc_player.hitTest(mc_door)) {
_root.clearLevel();
nextFrame();
}

That is, assuming your door’s instance name is mc_door.

And then make a new frame in mc_game. Copy the code and change the array to whatever you want.

I assume you have AT LEAST basic knowledge of Flash…

Hope I helped. :)

And @Emanuele: Nice tutorial. It’s helpful.
Except my player keeps sliding up the wall…
:P

Oh well, I can fix that.

I seriously don’t think the climbing is good at all. I’m building a platformer now with a climb engine and your way of doing is is no good. Your shit.
