To make him move.

if(_root.Hero._x > this._x){
this._x += 1;
}
if(_root.Hero._x < this._x){
this._x -= 1;
}
Just mix that with the movement code the hero uses and it will work.

To make him attack.

if(this.hitTest(_root.Hero)){
this.gotoAndPlay("attack&quot;
_root.Health -= 1;
}

You are probably going to need to change up the code a bit to add other variables and such. There might be a few errors too.

Just mix that with the movement code the hero uses and it will work.

how do i make it so when he walks he goes to a certain frame?( i want to animate the walking)

Make another movie clip of him walking, and put it in the actual enemy movieclip on the second frame, and change his code to this:

if(_root.Hero._x > this._x){
this._x += 1;
this.gotoAndStop(2);
}
else if(_root.Hero._x < this._x){
this._x -= 1;
this.gotoAndStop(2);
}else{
this.gotoAndStop(1);
}

It should work then.

sorry for my total noobyness, but could you please post the full code with the clipevent handler?

onClipEvent(load){
attack = false;
}
onClipEvent(enterFrame){
if(_root.Hero._x > this._x){
this._x += 1;
this.gotoAndStop(2);
}
else if(_root.Hero._x < this._x){
this._x -= 1;
this.gotoAndStop(2);
}else{
this.gotoAndStop(1);
}
if(this.hitTest(_root.Hero)){
this.gotoAndPlay("attack&quot;
_root.Health -= 1;
}
}

does not work, any other ideas?

you want the enemy to follow the hero, so make the enemy move towards the hero (like the above code is trying to do), but you're not changing the enemy._x value.

trace this out and see what they are when you run it

set the key controls to move the hero left and right so you can test to see if the enemy follows.

good luck,

as i said, i'm a noob, so can't someone just post the code?
btw the "hero" instance is not capitalized
