However I have one problem. I have created a stop motion movie clip where the squares (Enemy) explodes. The movie clip is called Explosion and it’s linkage is called Explosion too.

Where do I need to put the script? I tried doing it in the Enemy.swf file where you hitTestObject. Maybe that’s the wrong place or my scripting is wrong. But could you help me please?

Thanks in advance!

Thanks again

I have a question: Is it possible to make a game like this, without the use of external actionscript files?
I am a first year student and got the assignment to make a game in AS3.

But the problem is the action script should exclusively be on the upper frame. So if you open the actions window, only that script should be visible. Since im looking for tutorials, i noticed most of them use external actionscript.. So that quite a problem in my case..

Hope that you can help me out someway..

Thanks in advance! grts Jim.

So heres what you do;

At the top of your main script (frame 1), add a new variable definition:
var hitPoints:int = 100;

Next, your going to want to make an HP Bar graphic. Draw a white rectange that is 100×25, and convert it to a MovieClip called mcHp. Now in the library go into the edit mode on mcHp and add a new layer within the MovieClip, draw a 100×25 green rectangle on this layer and make it perfectly overlap the white rectangle on the previous layer. Add keyframes to frame 100 on both layers, and on the layer with the green rectangle create a shape tween between the 1st and 100th frame. Go back to frame 1, still on the green rectangle layer, and resize the green rectangle to 1 pixel in width. You are now done making the HP bar.

Now go back to your main script, and insert this:

addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, hpBar); //New Listener
function hpBar(event:Event):void { //New Function
if (gameOver) { //Checking if the game is over
removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, hpBar); //If it is remove the listener
}
mcHp.gotoAndStop(hitPoints); //Set the HP bars internal frame to be the same as your HP value
if (hitPoints <= 0) { //If your out of HP…
gameOver = true; //End the Game…
gotoAndStop(2); //Go to the You Lose screen…
}
}

Now go to enemy.as and replace the current event that takes place if the enemy collides with you with this:

_root.hitPoints -= 25;
removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, eFrame);
this.parent.removeChild(this);

Done if i remember correctly.

That would be the game with the HP bar that i just described and a few of my own changes, yes I am aware that there are some bugs.
