How To Make Shootout Games - Page 4

4. Making the health bar:
Make a movie clip. name the instance "Health". inside that movie clip, make a bar. put the fill-in on another layer. make lots of keyframes, and on each keyframe, make the heald go down a bit. Its easier if you use motion tween. on the first frame, put these actions in:

   stop();

and on the last frame, put these actions in:

   tellTarget ("_parent.") {gotoAndStop("loose");}

Go into the enemies properties, and put these actions in right when the weapon or something hits you:

   tellTarget ("_parent.Health") { nextFrame (); }
