save our souls, or atleast mine, i’m trying to make this basic game, where you travel through a maze, but you have to get keys to open gates, hit portals to jump from point to point, avoid traps, and so on…
i had a pretty good start on it, but for some reason some odd things are occuring, for instance you can get halfway through a wall, some times you can get stuck in a wall, you can get through the second green gate, and other things like that, i can’t figure out why, or how to fix it…
here is the .fla

any help would be greatly appriciated…
thanks.

im not on a computer with flash at the moment so I cant look at your fla. But I’ll try help anyways. Have you make the game tile based or art based?

yeah, I had a quick look at it. Its art based. Thats why your file size is so big. Go to [flashkit.com](http://flashkit.com). Go to there tuts. page and have a look for mazes.

so you think a tile based maze with an aray like
row[1] ="1111111111"
row[2] ="1000100001"
row[3] ="1000100001"
row[4] ="1000100001"
row[5] =“1111111111”
where 1 would be wall, and 0 would be open
or something like that? i’m not very familiar with arrays, so i’ll have to read into them a bit more, but would that be a better approach?

thats right. Just look more into tile base games. Thats the best way. I had a tile base example. But I lost it ☹

oh yeah, I forgot about tonypa. Yeah, go with him. And if you have any probs. just leave a message in the games section of flashkit with the heading “question for tonypa”. Hope I could help and good luck with your game. Can’t wait to see the final product.
