onClipEvent (enterFrame) {

if (Key.isDown(Key.UP)) {

if (Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)) {

do something

} else if (Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)) {

do something

}

_root.player.gotoAndStop(3);

} else {

if (Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)) {

_root.player.gotoAndStop(2);

} else if (Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)) {

_root.player.gotoAndStop(2);

} else {

this.gotoAndStop(1);

}

This should solve that. but I can't guarantee if it will cause any problem for your game.

Just use the and opperator: &&

so something like:

if (Key.isDown(Key.LEFT) && Key.isDown(Key.UP) ) {

_root.player.gotoAndStop(3);

}

if (Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT) && Key.isDown(Key.UP) ) {

_root.player.gotoAndStop(3);

}

the do something is not surpose to be in the code, it means the place for you to add your actions inside. like setting a different movement speed where it's nested without having to assign the jumping again. prodigal master's code will work as well. depending on what way you want to script it.

Prodigalmaster, it did sound abit to easy with that code and it was, it did not work .. hmm

The issue is that whatever I do, when i press MORE buttons, the character FREEZE on frame 3 and wont play the MC

So in overall the code is right, it is going to frame 3 .. BUT it wont play the MC.

If i only press UP btw, it will play the MC

Maybe that is because it is repeatedly goto and stopping on frame (3) due to the key's being down. Maybe use a boolean variable e.g. isJumping = false; and when the jump animationbegins make it isJumping = true; and finally when the animation ends make isJumping = false; and therefore in the code use && in the if statement with isJumping == false

Not that good with booleans I have to admit.. anyhow I did put "play" in the first frame of the MC in frame 3, that did not work out either.

A boolean is just the name for a variable with two states. In flash this is true and false.

Just try what I said.

You know how to make a variable right?

var isJumping:Boolean = false;

(on the main timeline).

So, there are 3 frames in the player movieclip, and animation movieclips inside those frames of the player?

Did you try WitchXHunters' code without the 'do something' bit?
