Hello all,

In trying to get a better handle on Actionscript, I’ve been looking at various tutorials on creating a fighting game. Most tutorials are rather uninformative/poorly written, but there is one that seems to work quite well:

[http://www.gotoandplay.it/\_articles/2006/06/beatemup.php](http://www.gotoandplay.it/_articles/2006/06/beatemup.php)

I’m having one large problem, however - I can’t make my protagonist do more than one attack. For instance, I would like to have the character throw a punch when hitting control, and a kick while hitting shift. But based on the way the code is set up, it seems that I can only have one attack as specified in the tutorial; everything else I try simply causes the character to freeze on the first frame of attack #2.

So, experienced Actionscriptors, would anyone have an idea of what I should do? I realize the answer is probably obvious, but as a novice, I’d appreciate a detailed answer. Thanks very much in advance!
