Ok so heres the setup. i have to charecters. when I press the left mouse key he attacks. I need it so when 'player' presses the mouse and there is also a positive collision detection between 'player' and 'Enemy', the enemy will be removed. To let you know i tried this is what i have so far


onClipEvent (mouseDown) {
if(_root.player.hitTest(_root.Enemy)){
removeMovieClip(Enemy);
}
}



And here is the game so far:

The enemy has to be spawned with script, else you can't remove it with your script.

What I usually do is put a MC in the player, where his sword is. I make it invisible and give it an instance name of "heroAttack". Then, it the enemy MC, you can put this:

if(this.hitTest(_root.hero.heroAttack)){

     this.removeMovieClip();

}

of course you would put it in a handler. And you would have to replace "hero" with the instance name of your player.

How do you spawn with script

DuplicateMovieclip and then there's some other stuff I can't pull off the top of my head, check pirates space game tutorial, it uses the script.

ooo this seems hard. But I understand all of the actionscript i put into my game and i could recreate it at a moments notice, so at least i learned something:D

Time to ditch this project, quit flash for two weeks, remember about stickpage, and make something retarded like this again.

Oh, not removeMovieClip, but you could use unloadMovie() if you want. Well I guess you're stopping, oh well.

I was joking. I found inspiration

Oh ok. If you really want to learn to spawn and remove with script, pm me, i may be able to help.
