for mi coin (mccorrecto)

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (this.hitTest(_root.pawel)) {
_root.score.text++;
gotoAndStop(“hit”);//i was trying to go to an other frame of the time line//it didnt work
_root.intento.text++;
unloadMovie(this);
}
}

for pawel

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)) {
_X+= 5;
legs.play();
} else if (Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)) {
_X-= 5;
legs.play();
}
if (Key.isDown (Key.DOWN)) {
_y+=5;
legs.play();
}
if (Key.isDown (Key.UP)) {
_y-=5;
legs.play();
}
}
//in this i was trying, If (pawel.hitThis) { (_root.mccorrecto)}

Maybe it’s too late for this, but…

Instead of detecting when the character hits a zone, you could call a function depending on the option the user has chosen.

Maybe your problem with gotoAndStop is you need to specify a target like _root.gotoAndStop or my_mc.gotoAndStop or this.gotoAndStop

:wink:

can you help me doing all the action script with the sentence my_mc.gotoAndStop because i dont know in wich frame i have to put it or how should i start the sentence

Well I can help, but I can’t make it for you…

Please tell me, without code, what you want to accomplish and I can give you a general approach. :wink:
