and its for 2.0 for actionscript for flash

for the "if the character touches something it takes him to another screen" scenario, you need to use 'hittest' function to figure out if he/she touched it and then 'gotoAndPlay' to take him/her to another screen.

the second one could also be done with 'hittest' feature. you could make it so that if the 'hittest' is true, do nothing to his health, but if false, reduce the hp

if (character.hitTest(Something))
{
gotoAndPlay( Your next frame );
}

if (character.hitTest(Platform))
{
trace("yay&quot
}
else
{
HP = HP - 1;
}

where do incert the first and second code?

i tried in the fram, in the door and in the chracter and it didnt work...

You have to learn about loopings, like function() and etc

How did you make you character move?

it most probably did not work because you did not give it correct instance names. if you just copied and pasted the code Captian_J_Sheridan provided, you need to make some changes to instance names.

In the first code, "Something" should be the instance name for your wall movieclip. You could have another instance name, but you have to replace both the code and the movie clip with it.
And, "Your next frame" should be replaced by the frame label. A frame can be given a label or name using the bottom toolbar in flash. Also, the frame label has to be in double qoutes when you enter it in the script

For the second code he provided, the platform the character stands on should be given the instance of "Platform". And you should already have a HP counter/bar in place. And, the movieclip your character is in should be called "Character"

Hope this helps

i hope too

or, it its a mouse game, on the oject that you touch, put this script:

[code]on(rollover){
gotoAndPlay(the frame you want it to go to)
}
