Hi guys,

Does any one know ne good tutorials for this?

I have some code done but it could be all wrong as I am not the best coder at all, just starting out.

Here it is:

package classes
{
import flash.display.;
import flash.events.;
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;

public class RollableChar extends MovieClip
{
    
    //static const edgeDistance:Number = 80;
    private var character:MovieClip;
    //public var theCharacter:MovieClip;
    
    public function startChar() {
        
        // add to screen characters
        addCharacter();
        
        
    }
    
    public function addCharacter() {
            
            var character = new Object();
            theCharacter.dx = 0.0;
            theCharacter.x = 100;
            theCharacter.dy = 100;
            theCharacter.direction = 1;
            theCharacter.moveRight = true;
            theCharacter.moveLeft = true;
            theCharacter.rollSpeed = 10;
            
            if ((theCharacter.dx < 0) && (theCharacter.x > 100)) {
            addCharacter(); }
        }
        
        public function sit() {
            
        }
    
    
    public function roll(charcter:MovieClip) {
        for(var i:int=0;i<character.length;i++) {
            
            // move
            roll(character*);
            
            // if hit a wall, turn around
            if (character*.hitWallRight) {
                character*.moveLeft = true;
                character*.moveRight = false;
            } else if (character*.hitWallLeft) {
                character*.moveLeft = false;
                character*.moveRight = true;
            }
        }
    }

    
}

}
