Hi I’m making a “shooting” type game, and I want it so that when the ammo reaches zero it goes to the next frame (or next scene if possible.) I know it sounds easy but for some reason it keeps popping up this error about a “;” in the wrong place. It would really help if someone would take a look at it and help me out.  
Thanks,  
kyri

Or it could not be the text box at all, because it says the error is located in the movie clip. I tried recreating it twice but the same error occurs! Please help?

you have one to many of these [AS]}[/AS]  
if you put

[AS]  
on (release) {  
\_root.total = \_root.total-1;  
if(\_root.total\<=1)  
{  
\_root.gotoAndStop(2);  
}

}  
[/AS]

on the button the movie works fine

🙂
