You know, in rl, you dont just stand there and throw cuts and thrusts at the air, o advance a little in order to hit your opponent. So dont complain about the character advancing with each attack.
Im ok with advancing a bit with every attack, it can even be used to your advantage, however having to pick up the coins in the middle of a battle is kind of annoying, either have them not fade or get attracted towards the character
tnx for the tutorial, I decided to learn how to make flash games and this was very helpful, btw, I noticed you can create frames inside of stencyl, just click create frame at the bottom after clicking to add an animation when creating actors
