I have been working on a game and I’m trying to get ym character to move a little more efficiently and smoothly. Ideally I want her to move in the way the “beer dude” moves at [http://www.daveheinzel.com/beerdude](http://www.daveheinzel.com/beerdude) . This is one of my favorite flash games and I have emailed the creator for hints, but so far have heard nothing.

I mean, i can get the character to move with the usual if (Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)){  
char\_mc.\_x -= 1; but its jumpy and also the move i use the character, the “bigger” the steps they take. HELP?
