Whats wrong with this AS

Ok i was making code so when the enemies hp is 0 or less than it would goto and play the win frame and if your hp is = or less than 0 it would play the frame "lose". I have no idea why this isnt working but hopefully one of you kirupians can help me out


if (_root.enemyhp < 0)
{
gotoAndPlay("win");
}
if (_root.hp < 0)
{
gotoAndPlay("lose");
}

if enemyhp and hp are variables you shouldn't need the _root. Try gettinging rid of that and see if it works.

The reason it isnt working is because the statement is only checked once when the movie starts. Use setInterval, onEnterFrame handler or object.watch to constantly check for that condition.

alright i edited it a lil and it still doesnt work.. here we go check it out

_root.enemyhp = Math.floor(Math.random() * (70 - 30)) + 30;

if (_root.enemyhp < 0)
{
gotoAndPlay("win");
}
if (_root.hp < 0)
{
gotoAndPlay("lose");
}
enemyhp.watch();

function checkHp(prop, oldval, newval, label) {
if (newval<0) {
gotoAndPlay(label);
this.unwatch(prop);
}
return newval;
}
this.watch("hp", checkHp, "lose");
this.watch("enemyhp", checkHp, "win");

// New Function:
function healthPoints() {
// If our HP is more than 0 and the enemies' HP is 0 or less:
if (hp > 0 && enemyhp <= 0) {
// Go to and play the win frame:
gotoAndPlay("win");
// Else if our HP is 0 or less and the enemies' HP is more than 0:
} else if (hp <= 0 && enemyhp > 0) {
// Go to and play the lose frame:
gotoAndPlay("lose");
}
}
// Run function rapidly:
setInterval(healthPoints, 0);This code prevents a tie, making it impossible to have 0 and 0. As soon as one has 0 and the other is greater, it goes to the resulting frame.
