Ok, well I’m testing out several platform options at the moment, and quite a few of them have been running into the same kind of bug. Everytime I use a controll key press to make the character move, their animation that its supposed to go to only plays for one frame. I have tried several ways to correct this… gotoAndPlay, gotoAndStop, looped animation, nested animation, nested loop animation etc… it all looks like muppets on ice. Here’s a .fla to check out, if you’d like to help. This is based on baukereg’s platform prototype. I also have a similar problem w/ Tonypa Tile Based Platform Prototype.

TIA. :dog:

p.s. flash player 7 w/ AS2.
