none of the codes in there helped... Please someone.

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if(Key.isDown(65)){
trace("A is down"
}
}

You could combine A and Left key with the || operator to make the code nicer.

Which would look like this

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if(Key.isDown(65) || Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)){
trace("A is down"
}
}

Did not work.

if (Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)||Key.isDown(65)){
CODE;
}

This above method is what I used for moving my character. Using darkroots way looks the same to me as long as you substitute the trace command for your supporting code that moves the character left. And you would have to repeat using the correct keycodes for each direction and number.

Dannydaninja it does work because I tried it. Your not trying hard enough people aren't going to do everything for you. Try putting it in the movieclip.

Do things trace at all in those functions? Because if they don't, you might have made some mistake...

What functions? I don't see a function on the whole page.

Wouldn't it work as DarkRoot said it?? If done right.

Oh.. well that does make sense Lol...

I think that's why he said it didn't work... because he copied and pasted thinking he put the right code and method... always check over a code before you think it's right.

Hmm. I'll try to get the one I used in the game im making atm.
