lmao.

basically, he's saying - set the size (using _xscale to make it a percentage size of the original) of the bar equal to a variable that contains the heatlt h of the player as a percentage.

but where would you put that? would you convert the bar into a movie clip and put it on the bar or would you put that on the frame?

The bar is a movieclip.

xscale will modify the scale in percentage of your bar so if your character has a HP of 150/150, just write bar._xscale = 100. If your character has a HP of 75/150, write then bar._xscale = 50. Easy as 1-2-3.
