Hi guys.

I made a platform game. The code that I made works fine but when when the player is game over and I press the button to replay I cannot control my character any more. Any help would be appreciated.

Here the code:

stop();

import flash.events.KeyboardEvent;  
import flash.events.Event;  
import flash.display.MovieClip;  
import flash.utils.Timer;  
import flash.display.Sprite;

//vars (define events and functions)  
var KeyThatIsPressed:uint;  
var rightKeyIsDown:Boolean=false;  
var leftKeyIsDown:Boolean=false;  
var upKeyIsDown:Boolean=false;  
var downKeyIsDown:Boolean=false;  
var spaceKeyIsDown:Boolean=false;

var hitObstacle:Boolean=false; // keeps track if obstacle is hit  
var health=6;  
health\_txt.text=health.toString();

var score=0;  
coinCount\_txt.text=score.toString();  
var hitCoin:Boolean=true;

var timeleft=15;  
timetxt.text=String(timeleft);  
var gameTimer = new Timer(1500);

//propreties for player  
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY\_DOWN, PressAKey);  
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY\_UP, ReleaseAKey);  
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY\_DOWN, moveThePlayer);

function PressAKey(event:KeyboardEvent):void  
{  
if(event.keyCode==Keyboard.RIGHT)  
{  
rightKeyIsDown=true;  
}  
if(event.keyCode==Keyboard.LEFT)  
{  
leftKeyIsDown=true;  
}  
if(event.keyCode==Keyboard.UP)  
{  
upKeyIsDown=true;  
}  
if(event.keyCode==Keyboard.DOWN)  
{  
downKeyIsDown=true;  
}  
if(event.keyCode==Keyboard.SPACE)  
{  
spaceKeyIsDown=true;  
}  
}

function ReleaseAKey(event:KeyboardEvent):void  
{

{

}

The code for the game over screen:

stop();  
replay\_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickFunction);  
function clickFunction(evt:MouseEvent):void {  
gotoAndPlay(1,“Scene 1”);  
}  
coinCount\_txt.text=score.toString();

Many thanks in advance.
