KJZERO9'S PROFILE

In RM2k3 is it possible to make a decent platforming section or are you stuck with, "the character jumps this many spaces, if you don't like it deal with it."
I'm looking for a way to make it so that you can actually control the character in the air, you know moving him left, right, or even attacking.

I was wondering if it's possible to have the character automatically moving in some direction but if a key is hit another event would take place. Everything I've tried so far just has it continuously moving forward ignoring all other events.
