Just to point out, I use Coda to do my phonegap apps. You can setup phonegaps 'www' folder as a site, then just edit away. If you've got MAMP, you can get it setup and test it locally (or even on your iphone with mobile safari pointed at your macs ip address). Just basically saying that you dont have to use xcode at all with phonegap. The only thing I've done in xcode is change the name (not fun!) and add admob support (youtube video tutorial helps!)

I tried the code above, but it simply makes the jump worse and more noticeable. Any help would be appreciated.

Then, this hero can react and reduce its velocity accordingly -- land smoothly -- and slide away to further adventure. you want to cheat physics eh? you could try to extending the length of the radians so that they feel the slope well before your hero arrives.

I want my hero to slide of the slopes, not bounce everytime I hit one. Any idea how to pull this off? Email me if you want to help, than I can send you my swf so you can see what my problem is exactly Hi

Luckily, I still had the source and it was fun to go through it again this morning. I groaned a bit looking back at this abandoned experiment. It did have a lot of promise though and perhaps you can pick it up and run with it. My goal was to get the line rider to turn around and go back the other way which I accomplished but it takes a huge performance hit and really grinds to halt eventually.

I should add more of these mini experiments to the HIVE SVN so I don’t lose them.

enjoy! I know I did…

I followed some of that tutorial but found his sliding code to be incomplete and not sure where to change it, and not to mention in AS2 which is unacceptable for me... I was wondering if you could let me see your linerider code or tell me a bit more about it. Thanks, Lysle Hi Brandon,

It can tricky with some stop frames in between. I remember back in the day you ducked and dodged banners so I ended doing those dreaded things. But you can escape the Banner Grim Reaper (or BGR, I shortened it to save file size) for long. Eventually you will be going through each asset in the library and setting the quality individually and publishing 156 times per day. Good stuff, I'm glad you learned it's not complete monkey work, more like Baboon work. More suited to Ed. Did you use gotoAndPlay()? It can tricky with some stop frames in between.
