first on the frame then on the movie clip man1

Ok, leave it on the movie clip and change gotoAndStop(2); to _root.gotoAndStop(2);

doesn't work and I forgot to say that it needs an onClipEvent and i made it (load) and then (enterFrame) none worked, even with _root.

Strange...On the last frame of the man, add _root.gotoAndStop(2);

no didn't work

Use _root.gotoAndPlay(2); instead, sorry.

at last! it works! thanks a lot. all I need to do now is improve the graphics and make more missions

No problem. Good luck with the rest of your game

unfortunately here's some bad luck the cracks stay the for the rest of the mission completed screed and continue to be there in the briefing of the next mission

do something like

_root.gotoAndPlay(2);
delete this.onEnterFrame;

or

_root.gotoAndPlay(2);
delete crack.onEnterFrame;

it doesn't work

but you have to put it under the crack spawn

if i put it under the spawn then this happens:

on(press){
var createCrack = _root.attachMovie("crack","crack", _root.getNextHighestDepth(), _root.getNextHighestDepth());
createCrack._y = _root.aim._y
createCrack._x = _root.aim._x
}
_root.gotoAndPlay(2);
delete crack.onEnterFrame;

**Error** Scene=Scene 2, layer=lvl, frame=1:Line 6: Statement must appear within on/onClipEvent handler
_root.gotoAndPlay(2);

**Error** Scene=Scene 2, layer=lvl, frame=1:Line 7: Statement must appear within on/onClipEvent handler
delete crack.onEnterFrame;

if i put it in it:

on(press){
var createCrack = _root.attachMovie("crack","crack", _root.getNextHighestDepth(), _root.getNextHighestDepth());
createCrack._y = _root.aim._y
createCrack._x = _root.aim._x
_root.gotoAndPlay(2);
delete crack.onEnterFrame;
}

...then when i shoot the building it goes to the winning screen
have a look because it's changed a lot

Great improvements on the game!

To fix the cracks problem, on the building, add:

onClipEvent(load)
{
cracks = [];
}
and right after creating the crack add: cracks.push(createCrack);

This way you can refer to all the cracks through the variable "cracks"
So, on the frame where you go to the win screen add:

for(var i in _root.building1.cracks)
{
_root.building1.cracks[i].removeMovieClip();
}
