title: Flash Platformer Game changing between two characters
body: <p>So I'm new to coding as a whole and though I've messed a little with AS before I'm at an absolute loss. I've been using a <a href="http://as3gametuts.com/" rel="nofollow">pretty helpful website</a> that gives a step-by-step on making a platformer/sidescroller, but one of the key things I want to include in my game is the ability to swap between two characters- i.e., if the player hit space or any other key, you could swap out to the other character (with different abilities and all). </p>
  
  <p>My game only really has one big stage, and it's nothing complicated at all (it's something I'm trying to get done in about a little over 24 hours) which is why I decided not to make the character change for each "level"- because there's only one big one. I want the player to be able to decide when they want to play whichever character they fancy, but I have no idea how to go about it. </p>
  
  <p>Uh, and if it helps clarify anything, I basically tried to follow that tutorial site as closely as I could without copying source code. </p>
  
  <p>Thanks so much for taking the time. </p>
