lol I just got a weird idea: maybe we can make a contest with no prize, we can show our best flash work, and then we'll have a champion[:D]

//put this on the main timeline
//set variables
//note:replace name with your character's instance name
//replace wall with your wall's instance name
//this of course is for a wall higher than you.

movespeed = 5;
wallX=_root.wall._x+_root.wall.height;


//basic movement
name.onEnterFrame=function(){
if(Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)){
name._x+=movespeed;
}else if(Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)){
name._x-=movespeed;
//if the key Up is pressed and the char's lowest point is lower than the wall
}else if(Key.isDown(Key.UP)and name._x<wallX){
name._y-=movespeed/2;
}else.if(Key.isDown(Key.DOWN)){
name._y+=movespeed/2;
}
}

myBall.onKeyDown=function(){
  if (Key.isDown(Key.LEFT) || this._x>0){
    //moving code here...
  }else if (Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT) || this._x<500){
    //moving code here...
  }
  if (Key.isDown(Key.UP) || this._Y>0){
    //moving code here...
  }else if (Key.isDown(Key.DOWN) || this._y<450){
    //moving code here...
  }
}
Key.addListener(myBall)

Also, flsg, wouldn't that code be for so that the ball doesn't go off the stage?
Also, since 450x500 isn't always the movie dimensions, you might want to use stage.height and stage.width.

//declare an Array
var myMap1:Array=new Array()
myMap1=[[1,1,1,1,1]
                [1,0,0,0,1]
                [1,0,1,0,1]  
                [1,0,0,1,1,]
                [1,1,0,1,1]
              ]
//put this function in _gloabal in case that we need to use it in a MC
_global.mapBuilder=function(the_map){
/*code here
make 2 loops, one for the height(i=the_map.lengh), other one for the width(j=the_map[0].lengh)
then attach tiles MC in the loop
*/
}

//same as if(upright==true&& upleft==true){
if (Key.isDown(Key.UP) && upright && upleft){// if all of them are true, then continue
  //in flash, y's coordinates are different, so it's not y+=5    
  player._y-=5
}
