I really need help on this. Im working on a platformer. You have to beat a boss to progress through the story at the end of the level. The thing is, I cant do anything doing with enemies+health. Could someone be a handy helper glove here?
Well, I dont know anything in Flash, except the code for the main character.
Is your avatar the main character of your platformer?
Never made something like that before...
I don't really know how to do it! 
BRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAD?
Wait, when you say 'cant do anything doing with enemies+health' do you mean you:
1) Can't make enemies
2) Can't give them health
If it's (1) then I suggest you get working on an enemy to experiment with (jump on it to hurt it etc.). There's no point on doing a boss battle, if it's in the same vein, if you can't do a normal enemy. Or go for a platformer without boss battles.
For (2), I don't see how you can't. If each enemy is a self-contained object (which is should be), you should be able to house local variables for health that deteriorate everytime he/she/it is damaged.
can't give them health? Actually you can set a variable for the health. Then if the player attacks the enemy then the health variable lowers down. Then if the health is 0 the enemy dies.
Ok, so, you have an enemy that can be attacked? Yes?
If so, you'll probably have an animation (or some sort of detection) for when that happens. Have a local variable for the instance of the object that refers to that enemy (which will come up during hit-test) 'take damage' by affecting it's health local variable.
No problem, glad to help. If there are any more issues, I would suggest referring to someone who actually knows how to program Actionscript.
