Copied EXACTLY but I get:
Line 1: The class 'Ship' needs to be defined in a file whose relative path is 'Ship.as'.

Hmm, I've got a problem when converting to a movie clip. I type in Name: Ship, Identifier: Ship, Class: Ship, press 'Ok' and get the error: "The name "Ship" is already taken. Please use a different name."
Ok, so I know it says 'Please use a different name', but the Shootorial doesnt, and if so, should I just Name: Ship1 or something? (I'm feeling pretty stupid here)

Problem with the shootorial:
Class Ship extends MovieClip
{
}
THAT'S WRONG!
If your identifier is Ship, it goes like this.
Class ship extends MovieClip
{
}

I am very confused as well. I keep getting an error saying that it can't find the ship class or interface yet both of my files are in the same folder. Any help is appreciated.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
so has anyone figured out why we keep getting the same error reading from the .as code when we test our movie i have checked everything i could possibly think of and its still giving same error. please help if anyone has the answer.

check your {}. There's also an option to realign the codes. Do that and see what happens. Seriously check the. I had that and I fixed it that way. Not sure about you. Let them auto position the codes and markers {}. If you space em sometimes that's the error.

Just a small note to most of you who have problems with this, remember that most programming related issues are case sensitive, so ONLY USE SMALL LETTERS, till somebody teaches you the full set of rules.

I have the code copied exactly down by hand and I checked everything. The .fla and .as are in the same folder. Every time I test it gives me the same error. There must be some other reason it can't find the class or interface Ship.

It's weird... I'm in the page 10, but when the Flash compile the swf to test it, it says: "The same member name may not be repeated more than once" an then says: function onEnterFrame()...
I guess that mean The program belives that the onEnterFrame function is not actually a function... I't s Kind of confusing, I'll apreciate you help...

I think this, and the other shootorials, are very helpful. Loads of people make the same mistake, but they are all being stupid about it and asking for help at teh first sign of trouble. Use a bit of common sense and trial and error to solve a problem.

crap words in the <> brackets dont appear... any way, u have to change them to whatever name u converted the symbol to, and save it as that name .as.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
follow the tutorial CAREFULLY, alot of you have the same problem, and I got it too, I figured it out. You have to save the action script as and also change the copied code, the class . And you have to save them together.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
as 3 doesnt work wit hthe above tutorial, so it wont move. if the ship class cant be found, its either u converted it to symbol and made a change down there, and then with the action script, u copied his, and then forgot to change the ship. Or, u did not save the action script as "ship.as" or did not put it with the .fla file

This doesn't work. When I try to run the clip it says that it cannot find the ship class. I have tried it with action script 3 too and it just doesn't move although it can find the class

For all those asking for help: if you can't get past this simple tutorial 1, you may want to quit now. To DoomAngel: what good is posting code going to do? The guy who made the move posted in there. It's the same stuff. If you cant copy and paste that code, you won't be able to copy and paste code that I post, either.

@ Spukky12, don't you have to name them the same, when I didn't id didnt work to, but when you both name them "ship" it does works.

I cant gett he ship to mvo with the arrows. The code is all in place and correct. Maybe its because, when i type new code, it goes to the left instead of into the propper function area. Oh, and when i test the mofe theres 2 ships instead of one, although only one moves. Please help me wit this.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
i can't get the ship to move even though i typed it correctly and saved both files(.fal and .as). could it be it only works for mac?

class Ship extends MovieClip
{
var velocity;
function onLoad()
{
velocity = 10;
}
function onEnterFrame()
{
if( Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT) )
{
_x = _x + velocity;
}
}
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Heres the code. It has two errors:
1)Ship.as, Line 2 Statement block must be terminated by '}' Source: '{'
2)Ship.as, Line 16 Syntax Error Source: '}'
I see that the syntax error has a source that is the symbol needed to fix the first error. Still can't see what is wrong. Halp

I can't figure out why my ship won't move. Both my fla (KongTest.fla) and the actionscript file (Ship.as) are saved in the same file in a folder on my desktop. All the actionscript is done exactly as the tutorial says. Yet the ship never moved. Why?

When i add code, it just goes to the far left instead of into the brackets. I think this si the problem with controlling my ship.
Oh, and when i do the test function (my ship flies fine) Theres another ship just above it. Please help with both these, i wanna make a game sooo much!

add this for acceleration
class Ship extends MovieClip
{
var accel
var topSpeed
function onLoad()
{
accel = 1;
topSpeed = 10;
and add this under your existing movement controlls
if( Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT) ){velocity+=accel}
else if( Key.isDown(Key.LEFT) ){velocity+=accel}
else if( Key.isDown(Key.UP) ){velocity+=accel}
else if( Key.isDown(Key.DOWN) ){velocity+=accel}
else {velocity = 0}
make sure your velocity = 0 on load
