```auto

var hp:Number=100

}

monster.onEnterFrame=function(){
    var CloseToPlayer:Boolean=(Math.abs(this._x-hero._x)<15)
    if(standing){
       gotoAndStop(1)
    }
    if(walking){
       gotoAndStop(2)

That code doesn’t do anything. For starters, the onLoad event is only broadcast to movie clips with a different class association which I’m assuming the monster movie clip doesn’t have. And even if it did, variables declared with the _var_ statement inside functions are local to that functions activation object and are deleted after the function has executed :hoser:

In other words the code should be changed to:

```auto

monster.standing=true
monster.walking=false
monster.hp=100
monster.onEnterFrame=function(){
    var CloseToPlayer:Boolean=(Math.abs(this._x-hero._x)<15)
    if(this.standing){
       this.gotoAndStop(1);
    }
    if(this.walking){
       this.gotoAndStop(2);
    }
    if(CloseToPlayer){
      //make sure it only has one 3 or 4 or you will get errors
      this.gotoAndStop(3 or 4)
    }
    if(this.hp<0){
       this.gotoAndStop(5)
    }
}

```

True, but if he is just learning AS and he is given the wrong information, it would most likely lead him to frustation over why his code isn’t working.

Why always recalculate closeToPlayer?

**Edit** : Wasn’t thinking. You have to do it anyways. I thought you were using else-if’s… until I looked. 😛

```auto
monster.standing=true
monster.walking=false
monster.hp=100

monster.onEnterFrame=function(){
    if(this.standing){
       this.gotoAndStop(1);
    }
    if(this.walking){
       this.gotoAndStop(2);
    }
    if(Math.abs(this._x-hero._x)<15){
      //make sure it only has one 3 or 4 or you will get errors
      this.gotoAndStop(3 or 4)
    }
    if(this.hp<0){
       this.gotoAndStop(5)
    }
}

```
