Cannot jump on vertical object while moving

Hello everyone,

I'm new to this. It's been about a week. I've gone through the tutorial and looked at questions that people have asked, but I cannot find how to get my player to jump while I have a floating object moving vertically. He can only jump when it pauses for a brief moment at the bottom and/or top.

I cloned it from the other tile I have that is always stationary. This is the tutorial I finished and am trying to add onto scirra.com/tutorials/253/how-to-make-a-platform-game

Thanks in advance

Yeah, I actually found this after posting this question and I downloaded the example as well. However you cannot jump while being on the platform. You can only jump when you are at the very end of it...which I find quite strange. Not what I wanted. I want to be able to jump whenever I please on any platform.

I agree the above link does not really fix the problem, its kind of mask it a bit or makes it a bit more tolerable. Was this ever reported as a bug? Maybe it should be?

Here is another way that works pretty well:
