RPG Battling

How do you make those RPG turn-based battles and how to you get stat bars to work? I wanna do something like the Sonic Rpg episodes. Thanks!

1) Make a bar. Select it, hit F8, and turn it into a movieclip. Make sure you hit out of those nine little boxes, the left middle one.

2) On the properties panel, where it says instance name, change it to myBar.

3) On the frame where the bar is located, click the frame. Open the actions panel. Script:

onEnterFrame = function {
myBar._xscale = hitPointsVariable;
}

Now anytime you change the hitPointsVariable to a number between 1 and 100, it will change the scale of the bar to that corresponding number.

Ok, but what about the actual battle AS? You know, for menu actions and stuff and everything else in RPG battles?

That, my friend, you will have to learn by practice, trial and error, tutorials, creativity and mathematics.

Never mind, I know how to make 'em now. I saw the RPG Tutorial: The Basics flash and that helped me a lot. I just wanna know how to make the enemy do a random attack instead of doing one all the time.
