I am trying to learn AS3 so I can help create and develop games here on LOK forums. When I get a computer again I will begin development. I already have some skills with FLStudio and would be able to create music tracks and sound effects. I am a talented artist and will eventually be taking graphic design lessons if I can't find enough info freelance. For now I would like to be directed to a good concept or site to start studying; if anyone knows of a good place to start, please leave a commen. Maybe others could use this topic to do freelance studies as well.

There is a big site about flash (AS2 and AS3):
http://www.flashkit.com/May be it will help you a little. First try to read some book to understand how all that stuff work - then try to look sources of different flashes.
May be you will find some helpfull basics there:

I'm always looking at Faustie, dr. Graevling, and eggplants on the foundry to study. If u don't know the site, it's hentai-foundry.com. Lotta great artists, even search for some tutorial files. No one knows female anatomy like them, lol.
Actionscript 2 is a lot easier to use but is prone to getting cluttered because of all the code ur allowed to throw around. Actionscript 3 is recommended but a little harder to grasp, I'll argue that it really is as2 w/o movie clip scripts, lol. I'm glad to help beginners as I, too am a beginner and understand where apparently simple concepts are hard to understand. I can address any q's u will have in this thread.

On a side note. A little tip I picked up for when going into art, mind the three p's. Proportions, perspective, and personality. Ur characters will look a thousand times better with these 3 qualities. I have a great e book on my kindle by Tom Nguyen called "Incredible Comic Book Women." Most useful tutorial I've used ever for drawing females.
Another good one is "how to draw manga: macro media flash" an oldie but goodie as the toolset hasn't changed much since then.

Pretty sure you are talking about my unofficial attempt at continuing LoK. I used a class from this to debug and fix some memory leaks in the game:

Hmmmm only thing that jumps out at me right away is that your constructor function doesn't match your class name.... you have Player as the Class but Character as the constructor... ummm aside from that I can't really say because it looks like you are having this class be controlled by your main script and since I can't see that, I can't see how stuff is being referenced/called.
Plus you have parentMC.addChild(Player), where I think you mean parentMC.addChild(playerMC). Flash might be getting confused because you have a library reference, a stage object, and a class all called "Player".
