Hi, I’ve been making a side-scrolling platform game. when the main sprite dies, (by falling off a cliff and exceeding a certain coordinate) I want the timeline to jump to scene “Death Scene”.
on the sprite I have the death script:
if (this._y>400.0){
_root.dead = true;
}
if (_root.dead) {
s1.attachSound(“deathNote”);
s1.start(0,1);
unloadMovie(this);
}
(I know this works because the sound plays and the clip unloads)
and on the main stage I have:
stop();
if(_root.dead){
gotoAndPlay(“Death Scene”, 1);
}
I cant imagine why it refuses to work- I use the same statement (if(_root.dead){) on the little movie clip that displays the timer, so that when you die it stops counting down- and it works - -
I’ve tried having the gotoAndPlay attached to the if (_root.dead){ in the main sprite, but that doesnt work either.
any ideas what’s up or alternate ways that I can do this?
Its a class project and its due soon!
thanks!
