Hi everybody, I’m just as new around here as I am to actionscript to be honest, but I have a few questions.

Well, they are quite big ones, but here goes.

I followed the tutorial at [http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx2004/platform\_game.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx2004/platform_game.htm) and now have a basic platform game. I understand actionscript some what, but not very well. I just have a couple of questions about improving my game:

1. How can I create an object e.g. door/ portal that will take me to another level or location?

2. How can I make that new level/ location?

3. how can i make it that when i kill an enemy it puts my score up by 1?

4. how can I create a pause screen: for say mid game I press ‘P’ which takes me to a screen with options such as resume restart and main menu, that when I resume lets me carry on from the point I paused at?

5. How can I change it so that the enemies on the game wont kill me straight away, but just take away a life?

6. How can I change it so that instead of going back to the start every time I lose a life, I simply lose a life and continue?

I would like to thank everyone who reads this, whether they reply or not, but please, help is needed. Sorry there are so many questions, but I do ideally need to know (this is a project with a short deadline :hang:

Hope to hear from somebody soon, I would like to solve my little questions 👼

EDIT: I am using actionscript 3 with adobe flash cs4 10.0 profesional
