Platform game tutorial

Hi, i have been following the platform game tutorial here (http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx2004/platform_game.htm) to make a simple platform game (which i have attached the swf)

the game still needs alot of work, but there are some problems i was wondering if anyone has solved. the game basically uses hit detection with the ground (ground_mc).

the ground is one long mc, and i wanted to put in moving platforms. i have put a horizontal and vertical moving platform in the mc. these dont work though. the character doesnt move with either.

has anyone solved this problem? let me know if you need any more info from me?

thanks
