im making a mario game and i need some help.  
ive got an mc with mario standing, running right, running left, jumping and when he dies.

how can i make it so when he jumps the running speed carrys on so he moves across when jumping?  
heres the code:

onClipEvent(enterFrame){  
if(key.isDown(key.RIGHT)){  
gotoAndPlay(2)  
\_x+= 5;  
}  
if(key.isDown(key.LEFT)){  
gotoAndPlay(21)  
\_x-= 5;  
}  
if(key.isDown(key.UP)){  
gotoAndPlay(6)  
}  
if(key.isDown(key.DOWN)){  
gotoAndPlay(5)  
}  
if((this.\_x \> 100)&&(key.isDown(key.RIGHT))){  
\_root.bg.\_x -= 5  
}  
if(this.hitTest(\_root.border)){  
this.\_x -= 5  
}  
}

</div>

maybe this works?

[AS]  
onClipEvent(enterFrame){  
if(key.isDown(key.RIGHT)){  
gotoAndPlay(2)  
\_x+= 5;  
runs = “right”;  
} else {  
runs = “”;  
}  
if(key.isDown(key.LEFT)){  
gotoAndPlay(21)  
\_x-= 5;  
runs = “left”;  
} else {  
runs = “”;  
}  
if(key.isDown(key.UP)){  
gotoAndPlay(6)  
if (runs == “right”) {  
\_x+= 5;  
} else if (runs == “left”) {  
\_x-= 5;  
}  
}  
if(key.isDown(key.DOWN)){  
gotoAndPlay(5)  
}  
}  
[/AS]

and please use the AS tags when posting code.

I don’t think i have an answer to your question ('cause i’m a newbie), but personally i would do the jumping movement all with an actionscript.

I have a question: in a platform game like metal slug or mario bros, how can i do the sliding scenary? shall i use a very long image?

If you wanna get real nice effects, make a couple of over-lapping layers of long images, that move at slightly different speeds. You’ll get the effect that the background images are further away. Use this _carefully_ since you can end up with choppy movement, if you over-do it, stick with only 2, or 3 layers…
