What do you mean? Box2D handles the collisions for you as long as you have a shape...

There are C++ /Flash specific tutorials. The Box2D idea remains the same, no matter what the language, however learning it may seem cumbersome. I will consider making a tutorial myself.

You are free to look into my source code of my ludum dare 27 entry. I use Box2D a lot :)

I'm actually planning on recording about 5-7 LÖVE tutorials on it for my LÖVE series. So, when that's done I'll send you a link if you want.

Check out NeoSilkeyFTW's tutorial series on it. If you just want the physics module watch from tutorial 12 until he stops(no idea when, I think it's like 19 or something). I plan on covering every single function in it: Because I plan on covering every single thing in LÖVE, and maybe some libraries too.

The physics module uses tables for your objects. If you don't know how to use them, refer to the PM I sent you. I hope you got it :P

Good luck!

Also, David, I think he means handle the collisions himself. Like instead of them automatically stopping, maybe make the player die if it's lava or something.

It annoys me that not many people use the Physics module. I mean, it's almost a complete wrapper for Box2D. How could you not like that? I löve Box2D myself, so maybe I'm a little biased.
