I'm making a computer game, and everything was going fine until i tried combining the game file (which i'm making on my Mac) and my intro file (using flash 8 on my PC).

When I pasted the game frames into my intro frames and went to test the game, the character (labeled 'hero') just fell down the page and didn't land on the platform below. The character dies instantly.

This is the ActionScript I had on my 'hero' character:

onClipEvent(load){

_root.restart(); 

s=3;

b = this.getBounds(this);

function move(x,y){

h=false;

if(!_root.map.hitTest(_x+x+b.xmin,_y+y+b.ymin,true  )){

if(!_root.map.hitTest(_x+x+b.xmax,_y+y+b.ymin,true  )){

if(!_root.map.hitTest(_x+x+b.xmin,_y+y+b.ymax,true  )){

if(!_root.map.hitTest(_x+x+b.xmax,_y+y+b.ymax,true  )){

_x += x;

_y += y; 

h=true;

} 

}

}

} 

return h;

}

}

 

onClipEvent(enterFrame){

if (_root.playGame) {

_root.falling = move(0,s);

 

if(Key.isDown(Key.SPACE) && !_root.falling && !_root.jumping){

_root.score+=10; vel = -12; 

_root.jumping = true; 

_root.bounceSnd.gotoAndPlay(2);}

 

if(Key.isDown(Key.LEFT) and _x>20) {

move(-s,0); r=-10; 

this.gotoAndStop(2); 

this.heroClip.nextFrame();} 

 

if(Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT) and _x<480) {

move(s,0); r=10; 

this.gotoAndStop(1); 

this.heroClip.nextFrame();}

 

if(_root.jumping) {

this._rotation=r;

if(vel <= 12){

h = move(0,vel-s);

if(h == false && vel < 0){ vel *= -1;}

vel++;

}

else{

_root.jumping = false;

this._rotation=0;

}

}

}

if(this._y>320) {_root.playGame=false;_root.hero.gotoAndStop(3);}

}

onClipEvent (keyUp) {this.heroClip.stop(); r=0;}

 

I then briefly skimmed over a tutorial which said that I needed to add a hitTest to make my character recognise the floor. I realized I already had a hitTest but as you can see I changed it around according to the tutorial.

onClipEvent(load){

_root.restart(); 

s=3;

b = this.getBounds(this);

function move(x,y){

h=false;

if(!_root.map.hitTest(this._x, this._y, true)){

if(!_root.map.hitTest(this._x, this._y, true)){

if(!_root.map.hitTest(this._x, this._y, true)){

if(!_root.map.hitTest(this._x, this._y, true)){

_x += x;

_y += y; 

h=true;

} 

}

}

} 

return h;

}

}

In doing this, however, my character now lands on the ground and does not instantly die. Instead, it can not be moved left or right with the arrow keys or even up and down with the space bar.

I have a feeling that the different versions of Flash may have caused a problem (i think I have flash 6 on my Mac), but I'm really new at this and I don't know the difference or how to fix it!

Any help is extremely appreciated, sincerely. Thank you in advanced.
