My main gripe with this is that the camera wasn't dynamic. This needed to have angles that showed the effects on the characters, the single static view was too far out to show the drama properly.
Actually doing this effect is easy: make your movie, put into a MovieClip and then simply move the MovieClip to simulate the camera. But you may have already known this. I don't know. That's my main suggestion anyway. It was good but could be better.

"Thanks a LOT. I needed to know how to do this."
Just ideal for me. I understood without problems.
And for the previous reviewer's question: "How do you make it animate?" It's simple:
1) Add another layer between the mask and the ActionScript layers.
2) Create a movieclip on the first frame. Add your animation that should play whilst the movie loads.
3) Add a frame in frame 2. Just a normal one.
4) Add a blank keyframe in frame 3. Here create another movieclip containing the animation you want to have play when the movie is loaded.
...That's it!
(NOTE: If you want either animation to play only once, just add
stop();
to its last frame.)
Hope this helped.
Again, thanks for the great tut, 321!

Tile-based tutorial. My guy can't move. There doesn't appear to be anything in there about actually pressing buttons to make him move...Can you point it out to me, the part where you press buttons and get an output? Or if it's not in there, you'll need to change that. Otherwise, great tut!

Meaning the dripping blood, bouncing ball/square, etc. I would advise leaving images on the screen fora few frames, so we can see what it looks like.Vary it up a bit. Now I can't really talk as I haven't released anything, but your flash will need a purpose to appeal to the audience. This is where I started out too, actually. If you need any help using Flash (I'm not trying to be condescending here) PM me and I'll give you some tips.

It tells you everything it should tell you. informative, clear, useful. It doesn't explain the code but it should be self-explanatory. The only problem is that the last page seems to be a repeat of Step 4.

I know, it was one of those things you notice right after publishment.

when I first started to play this game, well, before I started, really, I thought "This'll probably be alright, but it could be better, I'm sure." My prejudice has been thwarted. Well done. There's a good balance and variety in the characters, a nice set of powerups, a simple yet effective battle system and a lack of overpoweredness. I have to commend you.
...Although new characters are always appreciated.

and to answer the question (although I don't know the specific code) you do something like this:
1: Set up "cent" variable
2: When "cent" is 100, set "cent" to 0
3: Then (in the same IF) add 1 to "dollar"
