for the building script is this what you mean:

on(press){
var createCrack = _root.attachMovie("crack","crack", _root.getNextHighestDepth(), _root.getNextHighestDepth());
createCrack._y = _root.aim._y
createCrack._x = _root.aim._x
}
onClipEvent(load){
cracks.push(createCrack); <it had to be inside an onClipEvent
}
onClipEvent(load){
cracks = [];
}

on the winning frame it has:
for(var i in _root.building1.cracks)
{
_root.building1.cracks[i].removeMovieClip();
}

No, put cracks.push(createCrack) right after you position it's x value. (And no, it doesn't have to be in a clipEvent, I tested this before I posted it).
And put the removeMovieClip() line of code on the last frame inside the man movieClip.

Works!!!!

i need it to show a mission fail screen if you kill a civillian and i did this i dont know what's wrong:

On the start mission 2 button, instead of going to the frame with the mission failed screen, go to the frame with the next level. And when you shoot a civilian gotoAndStop the frame with the mission failed screen, but if you shoot the correct guy, gotoAndPlay (or gotoAndStop) the "you beat level2" frame

i did the crack in mission 2 and i changed building1 to bar,restraunt and wall and in the last frames of the people id id the remove clip. why doesnt it work now???

i solved the cracks now but when i do a seperate fail and win frame and i do gotoAndPlay win then it goes and plays it does a flick of the fail frame because it just before it

You're going to the fail frame, instead goto 1 frame higher (or how ever many frames it is).

thats what i did except when it going there it shows the fail frame for a fraction of a second (but long enough to see it clearly) and then shows the win screen

i've solved it now so im ok at the moment

sorry but i didn't solve it. btw the fail screen is just a movie clip so maybe you can make it invisible if civ(civilian death) == false.

Ya, just make it invisible in an onLoad function, then make it visible when you lose the mission

i think i know a better way then dead=true

use binary. have his being alive represented by 1

then every time you shoot him, multiply his "being alive" variable by 0.

saves about 3 bytes

anyway,

heres what i did

on the man movieClip

on(press){
if(_root.alive==1)
{
_root.man1.play();
_root.alive*=-1
}
}

on the frame itself

var alive=1
stop();

gl with your game.

also please play my game

half worked:

onClipEvent(load){
this._visible = false;
}
onClipEvent(load){
if(civ == true){
this._visible = true;
}
}


its invisible when you win but its also invisible when you loose

I think your problem is that you aren't changing civ to true correctly. When a civilian is killed, do something like _root.failMission.civ = true; // or whatever your failed mission screen is called.
