Hello. I’m having issues with a platformer. I’m doing a tutorial in chapter 9 of the book Foundation Game Design with Flash by Rex Van Der Spuy. What’s happening is my platform instances aren’t working correctly. When I drag them onto the stage and play test, the player falls through some and collides with the air. I messed with the axis some and a few other things but I can’t figure what’s wrong. Any help? Thank you so much.
