Raichu, we really have to know more than that. What sort of power-ups, which game, what are they sposed to do, how long do they have to last, what actionscripting have you got so far, … The second question ain’t clear either, but you could use somethin’ like this:
[AS]if (ammo \<= 0){\_root.gameover.\_visible = true}[/AS] ? Again, you’ll have to implement this yourself because we don’t know what you have & what your structure is :-\

just a few ideas, you could do a hittest between your player and the power up
```auto
function powerup(){
_root.hero.strength += 100 // this could be health/strength
_root.strengthpowerup.play() //this would be the tween powerup bar or any other effect
}
```
