my guy can not die

[piggy123]

if (_root.life<=0) { gotoAndStop("lose"); }

if something hits him he loses 5 life but even when he has less then 0 he does not die

Can you give more details and how you did it? I'm trying to figure it out.

lawl, use trace.
See if his health ACTUALLY goes under 5.

google the trace function if you be unknowing of this useful debugging tool.

if he bangs into spikes you lose 5 life you start with 100 and even when it goes under 0 it does not go to the game over screen

The "lose" frame is located in the main timeline right?

Sorry for the double post but was this code placed in a frame or a movieclip?

I think that I know your problem. When you enter this frame AS checks the if statement like expected but then no longer looks at it. You'll need an onenterframe.

onEnterFrame=function(){
if (_root.life<=0) { 
gotoAndStop("lose"); 
}
}

[piggy123]

onEnterFrame=function(){
if (_root.life<=0) {
gotoAndStop("lose");
}
}

thanks that fixed it
