ActionScripting help

[Mad-Tom]

Well, i have started to attempt at flash games for about a week now, and can't find much and some tutorials are not working for me and are not explained good enough. I just want some things explained and maybe learn some better scripts. I have followed tutorials on how to make my guy move, and such but walls do not work for me. The health and other objects do not work according as their supposed to. ANY at all help is appreatiated. If you have enough of an understanding and are willing to share i will highly thank you and if you want it i could try to teach you some Photoshop stuff. Examples of stuff i have done- Some of my work
Also i know very basic scrips such as on(rollOver) (press) (rollOut).
Here is a small game i made the other day with such simple scripting-
game

Anyway as i said, any at all help is appreated. My MSN and Aim can be found above in the first link. I'm mostly on MSN. Thanks for taking the time to read this and i understand if you do not wish to help as i am a "noob" to flash right now.

^Not n00b, a newb. n00bs are idiots who think they know it all. Newbs are just people who are new and willing to learn from those that have knowledge. I know a good bit on actionscripting (my "base" is Object-Oriented Programming), but I certainly can't teach to save my life!

AS: Main is REALLY good to learn a lot of things, or at least to keep on hand for reference.

When you get good at actionscripting, you should consider learning THIS!

You can also learn (when your knowledge grows of course) this in order to work at "low-lag" games that deal with using tiles.

This link will also help with creating tile games (with examples games)

The best advice anyone can give you to learn AS is to persevere and never give up! There will be many times you will not know what you're doing, and you'll be frustrated on end to learn something that veteran script-writers know easily. We've all been there, and we sometimes still go through that. If you really want to make games and learn how to program, then good fun, good luck, and good...um.......fun?!!

Whats OOP?

ok, well i can't quite find it in there clearly, and i'm still not the greatest at experimenting but i'm working on something and when i click this speific guy, i need other clips to start playing (shooting). I don't know speficly how to do this. I have them as motion clips with button background so when i click them, they'll die. But i have a shooting animation in there that i want to be unlocked when i shoot another nearby person. The probelm is i'm trying to do it with on(press)
{
gotoandplay(6th frame in the MC, MC clip name- Rooftop guy)
}

i'm not sure how to do this, and i don't have it worded as above, thats just a way i tried it.
