Current Version of the Flash program i use only supports ActionScript3.0 . so you cant use onLoad() or onEnterFrame() function but you have to do it with EventHandlers. I had to consult other tutorials to get this working.

I keep on getting 5007: An ActionScript file must have at least one externally visible definition. I guessing it's because I'm using AS3 instead of AS2. Could someone verify and if this is true explain to me why.

It says Adobe Flash CS3. Im pretty sure you might want to try the newer versions.. But for the newbies, the older ones are great practice.

Many thanks for your very helpful tutorial, so far, this is my first game made in flash as2 http://browse.deviantart.com/art/Flash-game-study-AS2-276658706 of course, i could not have done that without this helpful, easy-to-folow tutorial. I wonder if you already have an offline version of this shootorial in AS3? i am an (aspiring) artist and i dont have any background in programming.

Thanks for a cool tutorial. Been doing a games programming course on C++ for a few months now with slow results. Trying to broaden my spectrum with new code.

Tip: Like many programming languages, Flash script is very case sensitive. So remember to get the case correct in all your code. Eg. There is a difference between "Key.isDown" and "Key.DOWN".

(ATTENTION!!!!)Ok who ever is stuck on Page 9 thanks to another player, if the ship is not moving, go to your action script and save it! The .swf runs on the action scipt you saved first, so please, if your ship wont move SAVE THE ACTIONSCIPT FILE!

On page 8 I saw that I have 1 error: Symbol=Ship, layer=Layer 1, frame=1, Line 1 The class or interface 'Ship' could not be loaded.

Hey everyone! If anyone here wants to convert AS2 code to AS3 I set up a quick guide on how to do it. This uses old code that you wont want in newer projects but the site I set up will explain how to use it!

Stuck on page 9 for a long time, using CS5.5. When you first convert to symbol, you NEED to click the tiny little "Advanced" options and copy the boxes such as "Export for Actionscript" AND name both fields as "Ship"... this was my problem.

I'm stuck on page 9 and the Ship won't move. I have double checked the code and the linkage spelling/cases. Can someone please help.

Extremely helpful! Thank you Kongregate! I have just learned something from this tutorial! Knowledge = power;

for all those experiencing trouble with CS 5: Instead of creating a new actionscript file, press the little arrow next to where the ships instrance name is (top right corner under properties) and input this code:
onClipEvent(load) {
var velocity;
velocity = 10;
}
onClipEvent(enterFrame) {
_x= _x + velocity;
}
}

Umm, on step 4, with Modify>Convert to Symbol it says that I need to enter a unique identifier. Please help (I'd prefer if you message me as opposed to an @__________ comment)!!

@TheSupaHobo You didn't do quadratic graphs when you were younger?
The X axis is left to right (horizontal), to the right is 1,2,3,4,5 etc. left is -1,-2,-3,-4,-5 etc..
The same occurs for the Y axis, but it's vertical to move up it's 1,2,3,4,5 and to go down it's -1,-2,-3,-4,-5 etc.

ok i just got the cs5 and i dont know eney action script so i come here expecting some teaching but no just how to set it up

Why does "_y = _y + velocity" cause the ship to go down while "_x = _x + velocity" goes right?
I'm imagining the x and y coordinates and I can see why adding more to the x value would move the ship to the right but I don't understand why adding more to the y value causes the ship to fall downward.

Wow, spent over an hour from pages 1 to 9 and reading the top comments only to find that the ship still isn't moving. Read a thumbed down comment about saving before testing and it moved.
