how do u make the character jump once for every pressed key? like say the jump key?
Glenn:
example:
var inFlight:Boolean=false;
//in character function of movements
if(inFlight==false){
if(event.keyCode==38//up arrow key//{
//make var for height//heightvar+=20;
inFlight==true;
}}
now your character will move up by 20 pixels and wont be able to jump a second time while still "above", or simply put: until inFlight==true, hero=/=inFlight
