This might not be the easiest way to do it, but it'll work. In the first frame of man1 add: dead = false; and in the final frame add: dead = true; Then, on the man1 MovieClip, set it to only play the man's death if dead == false.


For the crack, convert the building to a MovieClip and on it's actions add:

on(press)
{
var createCrack = _root.attachMovie("crack","crack", _root.getNextHighestDepth(), _root.getNextHighestDepth());
createCrack._y = _root.aim._y
createCrack._x = _root.aim._x
}

For ammo, create a variable for how much ammo you have left, and every shot decrease the variable by one, and only shoot if the ammo you have left is > 0

always ab that is a pro hehe <3

_root.getNextHighestDepth() does so the crack is on the top and not inside :P?

btw i think it should be
on(press)
{
var createcrack = _root.attachMovie("crack","crack", _root.getNextHighestDepth(), _root.getNextHighestDepth());
createcrack._y = _root.aim._y
createcrack._x = _root.aim._x
}

and if you got a mouse hide and a startdrag aim you should name it to your pointers name example:
createcrack._y = _root.arrow1._y
createcrack._x = _root.arrow1._x

so the arrow1 is my pointer (aim) ^^

wait, getNextHighestDepth() can not be that it is getting on the top because it is creating a crack where you click :P i am stupid now ^^

thanx that helped a lot

No problem

no problem if i helped :P

its ok

I tried the dead=true thing but I either don't know how to set it to play when dead=false or it doesn't work???

It does work, I tested it.

To set it to play if dead is false, make the code for when you click on the man:

if(dead == false)
{
_root.man1.play();
}

sorry I thought you did the double equals by mistake hehe

haha no it's for conditions

does anyone know how to get it to the winning frame when the stickman is dead? I tried doing it like this:

if(dead ==true) {
gotoAndStop(2);
}

but it didn't work. i'm so close to completion and getting really annoyed with trying out tons of ways of doing it

Where did you put that?
