Hi guys,

I’ve been working with the tutorial SieferTim put together a few years ago ([http://www.kirupa.com/developer/actionscript/rpgprogramming4.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/actionscript/rpgprogramming4.htm))and while i can make both the hero and enemy show up over a tile map, they don’t have any interactions with each other.

I have a simple hit test on the enemy:

onClipEvent(enterFrame) {  
if(\_root.guy\_mc.hitTest(this)) {  
\_root.hp–;  
}  
}

but no matter what when the hero passes over the enemy his HP does not decrease. my guess is that it has to do with the layers? i’ve created a whole new fla without tiles and such and just the two characters and the code works there. ideas?

any help would be appreciated
