Need help with Flash platformer game

[MangoJuiceStain]

So for school, I have to create a flash platformer game about recycling. Everything seems to be working fine except for one thing. As I was designing my fourth level, I decided to create moving ground, but when the character lands on the moving ground, he doesn't move with it, but stays in place then plummets to his death. Here's a video to explain what I mean:

 

(problem is shown towards the end of the video)

 

I'm using action script 2 and this is the character code:

 

onClipEvent (load) {var ground:MovieClip = _root.ground;var grav:Number = 0;var gravity:Number = 2;var speed:Number = 12;var maxJump:Number = -24;var touchingGround:Boolean = false;}onClipEvent (enterFrame) {_y += grav;grav += gravity;while (ground.hitTest(_x, _y, true)){_y -= gravity;grav = 0;}if (ground.hitTest(_x, _y + 5, true)){touchingGround = true;}else{touchingGround = false;}if (Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)){_x += speed;_xscale = 100;}if (Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)){_x -= speed;_xscale = -100;}if (Key.isDown(Key.UP) && touchingGround){grav = maxJump;}if (ground.hitTest(_x + (_width / 2), _y - (_height / 2), true)){_x -= speed;}if (ground.hitTest(_x - (_width / 2), _y - (_height / 2), true)){_x += speed;}if (ground.hitTest(_x, _y - (height), true)){grav = 3;}}

Thanks.

The character would need to be given a friction variable, something to apply resistance and make it move with the platform.

And where do I add the code? I'm sorry, I'm pretty much a code illiterate

Maybe you just suck at the game?!?!?

I don't really understand the code for this myself, but you could have a collision function that makes the character follow the platform on the X Axis when it's colliding with it.
