I was wondering if anyone can give me some help on this game I’ve been working on lately. I have two questions that have been really bugging me.

First: My sprite can jump around and land on platforms nicely and all, but I’ve noticed that when I jump from the highest point and land on the floor, the sprite will fall through a bit. This may be a scripting problem (i know, i’m not the best) or maybe some other movie clip problem.

Now, Second: I think this is a target problem. I’m trying to shoot a lazer from a target named “gun”, but it’s in another movieclip. I was wondering if it’s still possible to do this, since it’s a lot easier just having everything bundled in one movieclip.

THANKS!!!
