How do I move to a certain scene using action script.
Heres my current code
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (_parent.health<=0) {
tellTarget ("_parent._parent.") {
gotoAndStop("Death",1)

}
but that doesnt send me to the right frame, AND I need to remove the
duplicates that I create in my game. Please I need help I will be ever so greatful
AND I will mention you in the credits

What does the tellTarget command mean? :P Ive created a game and never used that command... maybe I can help you if you tell me what it does..

It seems to me that this code would work?

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (_parent.health<=0) {
_parent._parent.gotoAndStop("Death",1);
}

its basicly the same as . syntax like _parent._root.lol.gotoAndPlay(1)
its a targeting script I was just trying that out instead of .syntax
to see if that works. But it doent. All I want is to make the main movie
to go to the Death Scene, BUT IT WONT FOR SOME STRANGE REASON,
lol

well cant you just write:
if(_root.health<=0) {
_root.gotoAndStop("death");
}
then, or am I missing something here? ;P

Do you have your scene named "Death". Also check the case of the name.
