Ok I played a bit with the code and this is what I have

do{

_root.pl+=random(10);

}
while(_root.pl<=100)

so the point is add health while health is lower than 100. But it freezes. Does anyone know why?

If you actually want to program larger games in the future then you'll want to be using AS3.

Oh no, I'm an animation :) and am just doing this for fun. Thanks for the input tho. Btw can you help me with my problem? the second one, that I mentioned in my first reply.

at any rate, if you with to continue programming or are planning on building a game out of this (not just buttons or something) then it's very highly recommended that you forget AS2 and learn AS3.

Is there any reason you are bringing this up?

Hmm I'm using as2 because I didn't rly see why use as3. Is using as2 bad?

Hey thanks!

I changed my code to:

if(body._currentframe == "1"){
	trace("Something is happening!");
		_root.pl-=random(10);
}

You were right! when I replaced the frame label with the frame number I got the output just fine. But only the "Something is happening!" output. "_root.pl-=random(10);" doesn't seem to have any effect on the health, this is weird because I have the following code connected to a button to test health decreasing and it works just fine:

testpl.onRelease=function(pleasure){
	_root.pl-=random(10);

}

Hey I want to constantly decrease health if nothing is done and my frame code is:

if(body._currentframe == "idle"){
		_root.pl-=random(10);
}

So basically the idea is if animation idle for object "body" is played -> decrease health but nothing happens. Why?

Thanks
