so... it is working?

what is flash's version of python's print?

I don't know anything about python... I suspect the answer to your question is

Honestly I feel like I am repeating the same answers over and over again... Unless if your question is a real one, I might not respond anymore.... Sorry about that.

trace();

I've never asked about that before and it didn't appear to work last time I tried.

because I spent hours writing out 'game over' in rectangles last night.

I am not very advanced in programming yet, all my questions so far have been legit besides maybe if Poor Bob is a good name for it, they all helped me.

Thing is trace() in flashdveop only works in debug mode i think. Also if you wish to print something not in the console you will want to use a TextField.

The best way to look up something is learning how documentation works for a programming language. :d

Now how do I set up barriers so that they can't go off the screen?

You literally have to check if 2 objects take up the same space....

if you dont want something to go off screen you just set up the x and y coords :P

As hermit said you just need to check the x and y coordinates in the enterFrame loop. For example:

if (object.x > stage.stageWidth)
object.x = stage.stageWidth;

Maybe you will need to add the object width to the equation depending on the pivot of the image.
