Synax Error

[mariomaster123]

Sorry about this topic, I just am confused about this:
I have a boolean above my onClipEvent (enterframe){
it looks like this:

varClose: Boolean
onClipEvent (enterframe){
...

why is there an error????

If you're placing this action on a movieclip, the variable has to be declared within an onClipEvent function as well, like..

onClipEvent(load) {
var whatever:Boolean;
}

Or, if the action is being placed on a keyframe, you can't use onClipEvents.

Either way, put a space between var and your variable name if you haven't already.

hmm, but then the things under it repeat in a cycle...

[mariomaster123]

AND there are even more errors...

you must declare the boolean

var varname:Boolean = true;

[mariomaster123]

ok, there are still more errors. This is my code, maybe there is something wrong with it:

varClose:Boolean
onClipEvent (enterframe) {
distance = 200;
ux = _root.warrior._x;
uy = _root.warrior._y;
ex = _root.boss1._x;
ey = _root.boss1._y;
if (ux-ex<=distance && ux-ex>=-distance) {
if abs(warrior._x-enemy1._x)<50){
if (!Close){
attack = random(4);
switch (attack) {
case 0 :
this.gotoAndStop("boss1attack1");
//attack 1
break;
case 1 :
this.gotoAndStop("boss1attack2");
//attack 2
break;
case 2 :
//...
this.gotoAndStop("boss1attack3");
//attack 3
break;
case 3 :
this.gotoAndStop("boss1attack4");
//attack 4
break;
}
Close = true
}
else Close = false;
// Ainarow = attacks in a row
} else {

if (ux<ex-40) {
this._x -= 2;
this.gotoAndStop("boss1walkleft");
//bossisgoingleft!!!!
}
if (ux>ex+40) {
this._x += 2;
this.gotoAndStop("boss1walkright");
}
}
}

Should be on the main timeline, and made like this var Close:Bolean = false or true;

onClipEvent (enterframe) {
distance = 200;
ux = _root.warrior._x;
uy = _root.warrior._y;
ex = _root.boss1._x;
ey = _root.boss1._y;
if (ux-ex<=distance && ux-ex>=-distance) {
if abs(warrior._x-enemy1._x)<50){
if (!Close){
attack = random(4);
switch (attack) {
case 0 :
this.gotoAndStop("boss1attack1");
//attack 1
break;
case 1 :
this.gotoAndStop("boss1attack2");
//attack 2
break;
case 2 :
//...
this.gotoAndStop("boss1attack3");
//attack 3
break;
case 3 :
this.gotoAndStop("boss1attack4");
//attack 4
break;
}
Close = true

Should be Close == true; (= is for setting a value, == is declaring it or whateever)

}
else Close = false;

else Close == false;

// Ainarow = attacks in a row
} else {

if (ux<ex-40) {
this._x -= 2;
this.gotoAndStop("boss1walkleft");
//bossisgoingleft!!!!
}
if (ux>ex+40) {
this._x += 2;
this.gotoAndStop("boss1walkright");
}
}
}

Try all that stuff, theres prob more

varClose:Boolean
onClipEvent (enterframe) {

Your off on a bad start.
Anyways here's the revised version of your code, no errors too:

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
	var Close:Boolean;
	distance = 200;
	ux = _root.warrior._x;
	uy = _root.warrior._y;
	ex = _root.boss1._x;
	ey = _root.boss1._y;
	if (ux-ex<=distance && ux-ex>=-distance) {
		if (abs(warrior._x-enemy1._x)<50) {
			if (!Close) {
				attack = random(4);
				switch (attack) {
					case 0 :
						this.gotoAndStop("boss1attack1");
						//attack 1
						break;
					case 1 :
						this.gotoAndStop("boss1attack2");
						//attack 2
						break;
					case 2 :
						//...
						this.gotoAndStop("boss1attack3");
						//attack 3
						break;
					case 3 :
						this.gotoAndStop("boss1attack4");
						//attack 4
						break;
				}
				Close = true;
			} else {
				Close = false;
			}// Ainarow = attacks in a row
		} else {

			if (ux<ex-40) {
				this._x -= 2;
				this.gotoAndStop("boss1walkleft");
				//bossisgoingleft!!!!
			}
			if (ux>ex+40) {
				this._x += 2;
				this.gotoAndStop("boss1walkright");
			}
		}
	}
}

Well I didn't really know that since you didn't mention it. I thought all you needed was help with all your errors. Try to figure it out now that there are no errors.

[mariomaster123]

ok, well i completly confused now
errors are a problem, but making my enemy do what he has to do is WAY more important, that is the whole goal...

[mariomaster123]

i think the boolean HAS to be in front for the guy to DO his attack and then reset the flag...
