16,009 PointsOkay, so this is a platform game. Our code for our character is the one above.
Rodrigo Chousal
16,009 PointsThe game consists on touching bubbles that get you to the next level. When you grab the incorrect bubble, you get sent to another keyframe which is a game over screen. Each level is in a different keyframe. Here is the code for the bubble:

16,009 PointsWrong bubble touched:
Rodrigo Chousal
16,009 PointsonClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (this.hitTest(_root.char))
{
_root.gotoAndStop(150);
}
}
Rodrigo Chousal
16,009 PointsCorrect bubble touched:
Rodrigo Chousal
16,009 PointsonClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (this.hitTest(_root.char))
{
_root.gotoAndStop(132);
}
}

28,690 PointsWhat is the issue? Is it not going to the correct keyframe on the hitTests? I assume the last 2 onClipEvent's you posted are attached to good and bad bubbles?
Rodrigo Chousal
16,009 PointsYes, the first onClipEvent I posted is the wrong bubble, the second is the correct bubble. When the character hits any of the two bubbles, it goes right back to the first frame and stops.
Sean T. Unwin
28,690 PointsAre you sure the frames (150 and 132) that you want to target are in _root or somewhere else in the _level hierarchy? It's possible you have a scoping issue depending upon the context of _root if you have multiple .swf's or _level's.
From what I can recall, it is advisable to use the format this._parent or _parent instead of _root to avoid scoping issues with portability and loading multiple .swf's.
edit: Refined post after shaking the dust off and thinking about AS again. ;-p
Rodrigo Chousal
16,009 PointsThat did not work... Is there a way for me to send you my .fla so that you can proofread it? Maybe your email?
Sean T. Unwin
28,690 PointsYou can connect with me on Google+ and put your .fla on Google Drive for me to download, if you use that.
Rodrigo Chousal
16,009 PointsI just did, I sent you a message.
