Good as a starting point.
This is a good tutorial for people who are starting out with flash and want to make a platformer. Though the character wont pick up the item, part of being a good programmer is finding out how to fix problems yourself.

To bad I am in school right now.
Your a good man ever blade XD
Excellent
Ive been trying to figure out code for a platformer for soooo long. This has helped a ton! The fact that it was interactive and allowed you the options to get more details is something all tutorials should have. \.../(>.<)\.../
programming jargon
This was very very helpful, I'm not sure if someone let you know but from the looks of the jumping part, i can help explain.
the && !jumping is a part of the if that says if the character is not (!) jumping (a true or false variable) and the space key is pressed the character can execute the jumping code.
in the jumping code the variable 'jumping' is set to true instead of false so that you can not jump while already jumping.
anyway im sure people wanted to know that...
NOOOO!!!
I can't use copy and paste but i'm sure it's great.
