health bar

[binime]

hey! i have started to make a game, nothing to complicated. so far i am using two squares just to test it out. i have two dynamic text boxes, one for health and one for score. i also have a little bar which width is equal to the _root.health part. my code



_root.health = 100;
_root.score = 0;
if (_root.health<=0) {
gotoAndStop(2);
}
stop();



this code is on the first frame off my game. on one of my squares i have the following code (its just to test for the health and score btw)



onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (Key.isDown(Key.DOWN)) {
this._y += 5;
} else if (Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)) {
this._x += 5;
}
if (this.hitTest(_root.box)) {
_root.box.removeMovieClip();
_root.score += 1000;
_root.health -= 30;
stop();
}
}


now i have made another frame so that my intention is if the health is less than or equal to 0 it will go to it, but it doesnt. can somebody please help me or point me in the right direction? any help would be much appreciated

does any of it work or does it just not go to the final screen, i suspect this is because ur code in the main timeline:



_root.health = 100;
_root.score = 0;
if (_root.health<=0) {
gotoAndStop(2);
}
stop();
</pre> only gets checked once at the start, so u should have



_root.health = 100;
_root.score = 0;
_root.onEnterFrame = function(){
if (_root.health<=0) {
gotoAndStop(2);
}
}
stop(); </pre> see if that works

thankyou! works fine now! it all did work apart from this and

_root.box.removeMovieClip();

thanks for the quick reply! now only the removeMovieClip doesnt work

[Dr Warm]

now only the removeMovieClip doesnt work i 'm not sure but i thought u could only remove a movie clip when u attach it first, using attachMovie methed, otw have in the box(under a clip event):


[/php]if (this.hitTest(_root.square)) {
this.removeMovieClip();
}[php]
</pre>
