“unexpected file format” blah heres the code to coin:

```php

onClipEvent (load) {
	 this.stop();
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
	 if (this.hitTest(_root.mario)) {
		 this.gotoAndStop(2);
		 _root.score +=100;
	 }
} 

```

and this to the first frame of main stage:

```php

_root.score = 0; 
numCoin = 2;
//this determines the ammount of coins placed on the screen, 2, being the number we use//
for (i=2; i<=numCoin; i++) {
	 coin.duplicateMovieClip("coin1"+i, i+100);
	 //now, this will duplicate the coin and name it//
	 _root["coin1"+i]._x =330 //wherever you wish to set his Y position//
	 _root["coin1"+i]._y =113 //wherever you wish to set his X position//
} 

```

here it is, If you need more help, please ask. By the way, you dont suck at it, you are new to this type of game, so dont feel bad (I was worse, it took me 2 years to figure it out @\_@).

Hmmm, try grouping them into one symbol and name it “ground”, once you have done this, select mario, open his actions panel, and type the following for the side (wall) collision:

```php

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
	 if (_root.ground.hitTest(getBounds(_root).xMax, _y, true)) {
		 _x -= xspeed;
	 }
	 if (_root.ground.hitTest(getBounds(_root).xMin, _y, true)) {
		 _x += xspeed;
	 }
} 

```

and that should do it for the walls. As for the goomba, I am going to need your fla to know how far you are, that way I can modify the goomba code.

Let me see them.

P.S. If you need sprites, I can give you a link to some sprite sites.

hey im making a mario game too lol but umm im kinda stuck see im making it as a tile based game. The thing is i dunno how to make it scroll … i just need it to scroll side to side not up and down as i wont be building anything tall in the game. I pretty much want the usual scroll were the character is kept in the middle of the centered in the screen and the rest scroll with it as it goes … i have gotten a few tutorials on scrolling ( ex: [http://www.tonypa.pri.ee/tbw/tut14.html](http://www.tonypa.pri.ee/tbw/tut14.html) ) but when i tried to apply them to the game … it kinda got messed up cuz the example fla and script on that tutorial it got all weird and the jump physics stoped working and stuff … so does anybody know what to do ?

yea mario is the red square lol i started the game from a example fla from a tutorial and havent updated the mario image.
