I've searched and searched and all i can come up with are tutorials that have a simple static character. I need one where the character has an animation when its moving, not just a sliding image. Most of the tutorials are just circles that move left and right when you hit the key but i want my character to trigger the running animation. Any ideas?
unfortunately that tutorial is still just another static image when the character moves... Think like Mario, how he looks like he is running when you hit right, not just sliding in one position.

Actually you could use those moving static image as a base reference on what you want to achieve. To create an animated character, you have to define a series of sprites(or MovieClip) that represents walking to the left side. Flip it and you've got the right side for walking.

put a stop(); script in the first frame of your movie clip so it wouldn't animate automatically. Then on your key press event you call myObject.gotoAndPlay(1); it then triggers the movie clip to plays the entire frames for walking on one side. If the key press in released then call myObject.gotoAndStop(1); to stop the animation.

For your sprites you can either draw it yourself or download free sprites on web.
