Wow. I switched from game maker v8.0 to this, and game maker v8.0 is really easy, but takes FOREVER. this is really difficult and doesnt take as long to do something simple. I only have 27 days left of my free trial, then I am definetely saving up my money to buy this :). Thanks kongregate. Without you, I would still be trying to figure out how to start, and I would not know anything about action script. :D THANKS 5/5

To stop the ship from moving off the screen, you can just add an extra condition to the movement ifs, for example: "if (Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT) && _x < 575)" will make it so the ship stops moving right when _x reaches 575 pixels. I used _x < 575 for right, _x > 25 for left, _y > 25 for up and _y < 275 for down and it works pretty well...

I love how the last tutorial has 1/4 as many plays as the first. Guess some people couldn't make it... On that note, congrats to everyone who has completed this awesome tutorial series =)
