Hey everyone,

I think this should be pretty simple but I’m not sure where to begin…

I’d like to create a health bar for a mouse-controlled character in my game. I want the health to decrease gradually over time, and increase when certain movie clips are moused over.

Hope you can help!

Thanks in advance.
