alright, I've finished getting a figure to walk, attack, jump, etc. but I cant make a freaking ground! seriously, the person just falls through and I don't know how to code it to make it a stable surface for the guy to stand on. help will be awesome.

OMFG, thats a good point, man. I'd like to learn this also. so I'll have ta "BUMP"

Well it really depends on how you've coded it so far.

You could do something like, 'if the movie clip's y value is less than** or equal to the ground's y value, the movie clips y value is set to the grounds y value.'

**Note that I if that doesnt work try greater than because I think the grid in Flash is backwards I cant remember.

This is all bullshit. Make a ground, say grass field. Make it a MC. Give it the var of "grnd" or "ground" dont remember.

Well done you have a movieclip with a variable name now, just script it now.

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if ( this._y > _root.ground._y) {
this._y == _root.ground._y
}
}

This won't work, i'm sure of that but it gives the general idea.
