Game Script updated and fixed kind of

Okay, so I managed to get the script to work at at least a demo level. I am going to pick the brain of my computer guru brother over Thanksgiving and ask Jeff's ActionScript guru friend for help as well. And, eventually I will get more game art from Evlon (the owner of the sim game website) and will be able to add more dynamic to the game. These pics are evidence of the new coding that I figured out yesterday to make it work as it stands now:

I will repost more as I fix this. Not sure what my last project will be.

I can't understand it

I have to admit defeat for now. Even if I stay up all night, I cannot understand ActionScript 3.0 in a matter of a few weeks. I want to improve this game. As of now, all I can do is move an animated character with the arrow keys and thanks to source codes from FlashGameU® I can make the mouse cursor look like a hand when it goes over an object (however those files were supposed to create an inventory system and this did not work because I have no clue how to re-apply the math that is used). Also, the ActionScript for CS3 in the book from Jeff is different from the AS3 in CS5.5.
If possible, I'd like to try to make a better effort to attend during the Game Production class and get help on this. I want to fix it, especially since it's for a close friend (who I am hoping will actually provide me more game art if she has more time). I want to improve this and am willing to take the appropriate grade until I can make it better. Or even keep the lower grade for it. I still want to come in for help if possible and will stay late tomorrow/today to work on it in the class.
(btw, the post says I'm putting it up at 11 something on Wednesday, it is actually 1:40 AM on Thursday that I'm posting this)

Starting Over

It's now 10:30 and all of the fighting I have done with Flash all afternoon has been for naught. I'm going to have to start over and make this less complicated if possible.
Also, found out that I also have a two page paper due tomorrow.

This Game

This game may have to be submitted tomorrow with some issues then resubmitted. As it stands at 7:00 tonight I have: this game, 4 thumbnails for O'Keefe (in a medium I'm not familiar with), a quiz for Bible, a group project meeting for presentation tomorrow, and a slideshow to compile. I'm already resigned to having not much if any sleep tonight. However, because the Bible project affects more than just me, it has to be a high priority.
I am trying over and over to code this game. This is the second Flash game I have ever worked on. It will most likely show tomorrow. However, because it is for my roommate's personal SIM website, I will be continuing to work on it and improve it. It may take a while for me to get home and get the other ActionScript book I ordered, because Amazon shipped it to my house, not the school, and my family cannot afford to mail it here as quickly as I needed it.

The Code isn't working

The codes from the book are popping up error messages all over the place. I'm assuming this is from the difference between the CS3 code in the book and my CS5.5. I'm trying to glean what I can from the updated source files.

Coding Update

The ActionScript 3.0 book from Jeff is very helpful. I typed in the wrong code at first so I've already had to start that over.

(tried to code the actions on the creature itself, moved it to the actual actions layer in the next image)

Creature Flash Game post 1

Hello, I know it seems really late to be getting all of my posting up but I'm getting all the images up for the game I am making for my roommate's website and for my second project. It will be done by Thursday, I promise.
This is the first image (I have the character animated, but not much other coding at this point):

Screenshots from ActionScript Lesson

Hello, I finished the lesson on Flash gaming that I was working on and managed to remember to take pictures while I was doing it. As soon as I get the game art I will be creating the game that will be done by Thursday.

By Thursday Due Date

Hello, by Thursday I will have an explorer style sim game with an inventory system done in Flash. I haven't remembered to take screen shots, but I'll try to remember better. I'm doing the game so that my roommate can use it on her sim game website. She is providing the art and I'm designing and coding the game in Flash, using ActionScript 3.0.
Things have been really piling up lately and there was a large issue with getting me set to graduate on time, so taking screenshots has been moved to the back of my mind usually, but hopefully I can get some taken of the Gopher Golf Game Lesson up this morning. Also, thanks to Hurricane Sandy, Shapeways studio was affected for a time and my printed model will have to be bumped to next project. I would still like to make an iPone case.
