Hi guys, I have yet another problem!

I’ve been working on this really cool platform/adventure game and in this game to get to the next level you have to go through a door, but this door isn’t on the stage until you get the magical gem. Before you say, I have all of that sorted out it’s just I don’t know what code to use for when the door is on the stage and to get to the next level the character (instance: char) is on the door movieclip (instance: door) AND the player has to press the D key(68) to get to the next level.

My friend gave me this code to go inside of the players code:  
if(Key.isDown(68)){  
if(Math.abs(\_x-door.\_x)\<(door.\_width/2)){  
\_root.gotoAndStop(2)  
}  
}

But nothing happens?

Please could you reply a.s.a.p!

that code should work assuming you have level 1 on frame 1, and level 2 on frame 2 of your timeline…

if(Key.isDown(68) and char.hitTest(door.\_x,door.\_y,true))  
{  
this.gotoAndStop(“level 2”)  
}
